There’s always something fun to find at your local Dollar Tree, like these gorgeous painted fall mugs and these tall lock storage containers. If you’re in need of a Dollar Tree run soon, then you’re going to want to head over to the kitchen aisle and grab this new find that is going to make organizing your kitchen space (and prepping your food for the week) a whole lot easier: plastic reusable zip bags.

In a list of Dollar Tree kitchen product hacks on Instagram, @thecraftedstudioco shared these Dollar Tree ZipTuck Reusable Storage Bags, sold for just $1.25 each. These bags can save you from using up to 500 single-use plastic zip bags that would otherwise go to a landfill.

These plastic bags are big and make for easy organization when you have to carry a lot of things with you throughout the day. Don’t want to carry an extra lunch box? Throw your lunch in one of these bags to go in your work tote. These bags could even work for organizing kids’ snacks or even other essentials you need throughout the day, like diapers or an extra set of clothing after a day at the pool.

These bags, of course, are also great for using in the kitchen. Store your produce, like leafy greens and herbs (don’t forget to add a paper towel to suck up extra moisture!) in them, or use them to freeze meals for meal prep. These bags also have a flat bottom, which makes them ideal for stacking up your bags in the fridge or freezer to prevent any leaking.

Other Dollar Tree shoppers love these bags for other purposes outside of the kitchen, like packing liquids and toiletries while traveling, or packing other items that might spill during trips.

Along with these reusable bags, Dollar Tree is also selling sets of small round glass containers that are perfect for meal prep as well (think: containers of morning glory overnight oats or yogurt parfaits for breakfast). Pack it in this reusable bag with your lunch sandwich and an extra crunchy snack, like this berry walnut trail mix, and you’re good to go for the day.
