You can buy wire supports that have a small brad nail,or screw for really cheap price from any hardware store.They attach quickly,and easily,and hide the cords well.

You can buy 3' rubber strips with adhesive backing (I had to buy a 4 pack).
1- Clean off the surface where you are going to stick them. (alcohol,or other degreaser that works) and let it dry.
2- Measure out the length you need and cut with scissors.
3- Stick the strip in place.
4- Tuck in the cord and you're done.
Remember, you are in a kitchen and under the cabinets there is always some surface grease and if there is only a little bit, the strips won't stick. I cheat and put in a small carpet tack or box nail every 6" just in case. This makes the job permanent. These strips I have seen are Ivory in color and I haven`t seen any other color out there. Also there a some rigid plastic channels out there which have a snap-on cover and are easier to nail. They come with holes and/or adhesive strips too.
Good luck ! !

You use the same style as what is used for holding electrical conduit to ceilings and walls only much smaller and you can purchase it in plastic. It's shaped like a half circle with a flat portion with a hole in it to accept a screw. You drill a small pilot hole and insert the screw with the electrical wire in the half circle and you're all set.
You'll find these at a hardware store or home improvement center.

The ones I use every day stay out (coffeepot, toaster). The rest stay in the cabinets (food processor, blender, George, mixer, waffle maker, bread machine). The counter stays uncluttered, I have plenty of working space on the counter, but I'm not spending alot of time pulling appliances out and putting them away.
