I claim: 1. An organizer for dispensing rolled goods, the organizer comprising: an axle; a first carousel adjacent a first end of the axle; a second carousel adjacent a second end of the axle; a first panel adjacent the first carousel and configured to receive the first end of the axle; a second panel adjacent the second carousel and configured to receive the second a top panel; a bottom panel; a back panel; a front panel that includes an upper flap having a common edge with the top panel, and a lower flap having a common edge with the bottom panel; a cutter on the lower flap; the first panel; a plurality of connector hubs on the first and second carousels, each respective hub adapted to receive a hollow end of a respective roll of rolled goods, each respective roll being rotatably mounted to a respective opposing pair of hubs; a lock for selectively restricting movement of at least one of the first and second carousels, the lock including a pliable slat coupled to the outer surface of the first panel adjacent a first end of the pliable slat; and, a peg extending generally orthogonally from adjacent the second end of the pliable slat, such that the peg extends through the slot to engage the first carousel when the organizer is in a locked position, wherein, rolled goods are removable from the organizer by rotating the carousels until a selected roll is in a dispensing position, thereby enabling removal of the rolled goods from the selected roll. 2. The organizer as in claim 1, wherein, the first panel, second panel, top panel, bottom panel, and front panel from a box substantially enclosing the rolled goods when the box is in an assembled position, and the panels are interconnected to form a planar structure when the box is in an unassembled position. 3. The organizer as in claim 1, the first and second carousels each comprising a pliable material; wherein, a roll of rolled goods is rotatably mounted to a respective hub by deflecting the carousel from a standard position to a displaced position, thereby enabling the hub to engage within the hollow end of the roll. 4. The organizer as in claim 1, wherein each of the first and second carousels have a plurality of tabs extending outwardly from its center. 5. The organizer as in claim 4, the peg positioned to engage between tabs to restrict rotation of the carousel. 6. The organizer as in claim 1, wherein the pliable slat is biased to engage the peg with the first carousel when the organizer is in a locked position and is outwardly deflectable to enable selective rotation of the carousels. 7. The organizer as in claim 6, further comprising an end cap covering a terminus of the first end of the axle; an aperture formed in the slat, and wherein, the axle passes through the aperture. 8. An organizer for dispensing rolled goods, the organizer comprising: an axle; a first panel positioned to receive the axle adjacent its first end; a second panel positioned to receive the axle adjacent its second end; a first carousel having a plurality of tabs extending radially outward from its center, the first carousel positioned adjacent the first panel; a second carousel having a plurality of tabs extending radially outward from its center, the second carousel positioned a top panel; a bottom panel; a back panel; and a front panel including an upper flap having a common edge with the top panel, and a lower flap having a common edge with the bottom panel; a cutter on the lower flap; a slot formed along a surface of the first panel, the slot extending from an upper edge to a terminal end positioned at a generally central location of the first panel, the slot being formed such that the axle engages adjacent a terminal end of the slot; a pliable slat coupled to an outer face of the first panel; a peg extending from the slat and biased to protrude through the slot to engage the peg with one of the first or second carousels when the organizer is in a locked position, the slat being outwardly deflectable to enable selective rotation of the carousels; a respective connector hub on each tab of the first and second carousels, each respective hub adapted to receive a hollow end of a respective roll of rolled goods, each respective roll being rotatably mounted to a respective opposing pair of hubs; rolled goods are removable from the onrganizer by rotating the carousels until a selected roll is in a dispensing position, thereby enabling removal of the rolled goods from the selected roll. 9. The organizer as in claim 8, wherein the panels of the box are interconnected at respective edges, enabling the box to assume a planar configuration when the box is in an unassembled condition. 10. The organizer as in claim 8, the first and second carousels each comprising a pliable material; wherein, a roll of rolled goods is mounted to a respective hub by bending the carousel from a standard position to a displaced position, thereby enabling the hub to engage within the hollow end of the roll. 11. An organizer for dispensing rolled goods, the organizer comprising: an axle; a first carousel made from a pliable material and having a plurality of tabs extending radially outward from its center, the first carousel positioned adjacent a first end of the axle; a second carousel having a plurality of tabs extending radially outward from its center, the second carousel positioned adjacent a second end of the axle; a respective connector hub on each tab of the first and second carousels, each respective hub adapted to receive a hollow end of a respective roll of rolled goods, each respective roll being rotatably mounted to a respective opposing pair of hubs; a box having a first panel adjacent the first carousel, and configured to receive a first end of the axle, the first panel having a channel formed therein; a second panel adjacent the second carousel, and configured to receive a second end of the axle; a top panel; a bottom panel; a back panel; and, a front panel having an upper flap having a common edge with the top panel; a lower flap having a common edge with the bottom panel; and, a cutter on the lower flap, the panels of the box being interconnected at respective edges to enable a planar configuration when the box is in an unassembled condition; a pliable slat coupled to an outer face of the first panel; a peg extending from the slat and biased to protrude through the channel and to engage the first carousel in a locked position, the slat being outwardly deflectable to enable selective rotation of the carousels; wherein, a roll of rolled goods is rotatably mounted to a respective hub by bending the first carousel from a standard position to a displaced position, thereby enabling the hub to encage within the hollow end of the roll; and wherein, the rolled goods are selectively enclosable within the box, and are removable from the organizer by rotating the carousels until a selected roll is in a dispensing position, thereby enabling removal of the rolled goods from the selected roll. 12. The organizer as in claim 11, further comprising an end cap positioned adjacent a first end of the slat, the end cap being configured to engage a terminal end of the axle.
