Keeping your home organized and maintained shouldn't cost a fortune. That's why Lowe's created a new brand of affordable products called Lowe's Essentials™. Thoughtfully designed, each of these problem-solving products costs $5 or less. It's one way Lowe's helps your home look and feel its best.

A Plastic Storage Container With a Lid

Every room in your home will benefit from the sleek design of these $2 plastic storage containers. At about 10-inches long and 7-inches wide, they're big enough to store a myriad of supplies, toys and more, while easily fitting onto closet shelves. Each container comes with a sturdy plastic lid, making them stackable while concealing visual clutter. Since they're so affordable, grab some for your closet, garage, playroom or mudroom to make organizing easier.

Garden Tool Set

Repot plants or get your hands dirty in the garden with this two-piece garden tool set for only $4. Featuring a large head trowel and cultivator, you can dig, weed, loosen packed soil, plant seeds and more with this duo. The lightweight plastic design makes them easier to use, clean, and keep rust free. Plus, each tool comes with a convenient hole to hang them up with when you're done.

3-in-1 Nylon Grill Brush

Get your grill gleaming with this $4 grill brush. A durable stainless-steel scraper makes it easy to clean away stuck on grime, while the nylon bristles and scrubber sponge are safe for any type of grill grate. Its thoughtful design aids in the cleaning process and makes it easy to store when the job is done. 

10 -Pack Plastic Clothing Hangers

You read that correctly. Ten hangers for only $2. Their slim design makes it a breeze to reorganize your closets. Sturdy plastic with notches to help hold clothing in place are tough enough to hang heavier coats when needed. From your bedroom closet to your mudroom, matching hangers make your closet feel more put together.

Classic Watering Can

Modern and minimal, this sleek watering can holds a half gallon of water and only costs $4. Its generous spout offers control while delivering water efficiently, while an open top makes it easy to fill and lets it dry thoroughly between uses. Depending on how many plants you have around your home — and really, is there such a thing as too many? — it's smart to stash a watering can on your porch, patio or anywhere there's a lot of flora. And thanks to its affordable price you can.

3-Wick Galvanized Citronella Candle

Perfect for outdoor dining and summer entertaining, this galvanized citronella candle is understated and ideal for helping keep bugs away. Featuring three wicks, it also creates enough candlelight to give your porch or patio a warm glow. Thanks to its $5 price tag, buy a few to create a bug barrier. For best results place each candle 18- to 36-inches apart. Flattering lighting and bug-deterring qualities makes this candle a true summer essential.
