Shoppers looking for everyday essentials on the cheap head to Dollar Tree to pick up those day-to-day finds. Between updating your dining ware with chic-looking ceramic plates to magazine holders that can be used for pantry storage, the store has plenty of inexpensive products that make our lives easier. It's also one of our go-to shops for affordable organization dupes, like copycat Container Store storage bins and Tupperware-like soup holders. Now, the discount store has another must-have item that's essential for the back-to-school season.

Dollar Tree Is Now Selling Double Zipper Variety Pack Bags

Dollar Tree is now selling the perfect storage solution for both back-to-school lunches and everyday kitchen needs: Double Zipper Variety Pack Bags.

For just $5, this variety pack comes with a full selection of plastic zip-top bags in different sizes to accommodate just about anything. You get 50 snack bags, 58 sandwich bags, 20 freezer bags, 22 quart bags, and 18 gallon bags, for a grand total of a whopping 168 plastic baggies.

This latest find was spotted by the Instagram user @doitonadime, who notes that the item is a great deal considering other stores sell similar sets at around $12 and up. The social media user also recommends a hack to help create a sandwich bag “dispenser” so it doesn't take up an entire drawer. All you have to do is puncture two holes in the variety pack box and slide in Dollar Tree’s paper towel holders so you can hang the entire thing inside a cabinet.

Many commenters were excited about this variety pack, saying "That's a great deal for $5 for all those Ziploc bags” and “I love how they are colour coordinated.” Some did not waste time and planned to head over to their nearest store to pick up some for themselves: “Me running to the Dollar Tree to see if mines carry the bags” and “Running back to Dollar Tree now because how did I miss that 😮.”

Those who have looked for these bags have said they can be hard to come by: “I haven't had any luck finding them at all 😔.” The Instagram user who posted about the variety pack said they were able to find them in their North Carolina store. No word if they can be found elsewhere, but we’re crossing our fingers that other states carry them, too.
