Cheapest DIY method to lift plants/laying bin up?

My laying bin and plant sit directly on the bottom of the cage and collect a lot of water underneath without making it to the holes that are drilled on the bottom floor. :( What is the best/ cheapest way to lift the plant and laying bin up for better water drainage?
 
the dollar store often has little racks either for the plants like you need or a rack for kitchen that could be used the same way I would just take a walk through a dollar or hardware store and think outside the box
cheers
 
im currently using some sturdy plastic racks plants come stocked in from a garden centre, they were large so cut them down in size
 
You can get a bag of river stone that's the size of a dollar coin for like $7 at walmart. I used to put those under my pots to raise them slightly!
 
I've been having the same problem. But I'm looking at sets of "pot feet" you can buy from stores such as home depot for about 7 dollars.
 
Turn small dishes or cups upside down and set the pots and bin on them. Collect plastic bottle caps and arrange them under the pots leaving gaps for drainage.
 
Wire Memo baskets that you can get at the office supply store. Lay it upside down and put the pot on top of it. Raises it up a couple of inches, lets water and air through, and is only a couple of dollars. You could probably find them at the dollar store as well.
