There’s nothing like a one-stop shop for all of your home shopping needs — that’s why Aldi, Target, Costco, Walmart, and Trader Joe’s are some of the most popular grocery stores in the U.S. And when they have a great private label, even better. Walmart’s Better Homes & Gardens line has a generous selection of modern, affordable plant accessories, plus one unexpected twist: You can style many of them as gorgeous home organizers.

The best-selling 10-inch handmade earthenware saucer is a current internet favorite. Earth-toned with a natural hand-painted finish, it brings sophistication and character into any space for just $11.55. The saucer also comes in two smaller sizes: 6 inches ($3.67) and 8 inches ($8.84).

In a now-viral TikTok video, lifestyle creator Ness (@myhomeinlittlesquares) shares how she uses hers next to the kitchen sink to hold soaps and scrubbers. The whole display looks expertly curated and instantly warms up her marble countertops. At its stellar price, the dish — made of eco-friendly clay earthenware — makes achieving a rustic charm aesthetic accessible and sustainable.

“It’s those little details that make such a difference!” one video viewer commented. “And way to do it on a budget!”

The versatile saucer can be placed throughout the kitchen and used to hold candles, soaps, keys, trinkets, and, of course, plants. Its flat and solid form nicely juxtaposes assortments of rounder, bulkier items, as you can see in the video. It’s no wonder the saucer is a highly rated product that’s repeatedly applauded for its range of uses, quality, and design.

“These plant saucers are so attractive,” one customer shared in a 5-star review. “They go with a good assortment of planters, and they can even be used for decor as a stand for other items. The surface is fairly smooth, so you don’t have to worry about water going through to your furniture.”

All three sizes can be found in-store or delivered straight to your home. As far as other planters you can use as decor, Walmart has several other budget-friendly options also from the line, like the 8-inch Teramo ceramic planter, and the 8-inch Tye ceramic planter. You can also choose from a large collection of indoor and outdoor plants!
