The next time you are brushing your teeth, open your medicine cabinet and weed out all the expired medicines. You are probably keeping a lot of stuff you never use anyway, so you can open up a lot of space. (If you have prescription medications, make sure you peel off the label with your personal information first before you throw them away.) If you weed out enough, you may even be able to use your medicine cabinet for something like this.
If it makes you cringe to think of the waste, remember that drugs become less potent over time, and the next time you have a splitting headache you aren't going to want those expired drugs anyway. Just buy your medications in the smallest containers until you figure out how much you usually use.
