It was a total game changer.

My kitchen storage situation is a mess. I live in a big house and my kitchen looks nice on the surface, but when you start using it, it quickly becomes clear that it was designed by someone who doesn't cook much.
For a long time, we stored household essentials like aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and zip-top bags in boxes on a shelf in our dining room. It was very inconvenient, to say the least. Not only did we have to walk there, Outside While I could leave the kitchen to get what I needed, for years it was a frustrating daily chore (multiple times a day) to pull out the trash can and rummage through the clutter to find what I needed.
You already know how much of a struggle it is to deal with parchment paper. Two years ago I bought a bamboo organizer for kitchen wraps and bread rolls and that changed everything. When I say it changed the game, I mean it. Finally, everything is in one place, in designated sections, and compact enough to keep in my kitchen (surprise!).
So when I found a similar Ziplock Bag Organizer in the Dollar Spot section of Target for $5, I knew it was the finishing touch I'd been waiting for.

Why We Love Target's Bamboo Ziploc Bag Organizer
You've probably seen everyone using them on social media with their dogs, and there's a good reason why: Firstly, they're absolutely beautiful! I have a weakness for beautiful looking, aesthetically pleasing products – good brands. everytime Love it! With its smooth finish and simple label, the sleek bamboo design looks great on your counter or stored neatly in a drawer.
But unlike my kitchen, this box doesn't just look good; it's truly functional. It stores different sized bags separately so every bag has its place. No more digging around or ugly mismatched boxes that get damaged, dented, and look unsightly. You can easily find and get what you need.
The sandwich, quart, snack, and gallon bags are labeled for easy access, and I've washed and reused the bags many times, finding it easy to put the clean, dry bag back in its place as well.
But what I love about it is its compact design. At 11.81 inches wide and deep, and 2.75 inches tall, it can hold a ton of stuff, but takes up a relatively small amount of space. The compartments fit snugly into the dimensions of a standard bag, meaning that instead of a myriad of jumbled, colorful boxes, you can replace your ugly cardboard boxes with this sleek organizer.
Honestly, why did I wait so long for this life-changing drawer organization item? I wish I had bought this when I bought the roll organizer. On the other hand, there is a strong argument to be made that for $5, it was worth the wait. If you can relate to my struggle, head to Target and grab this organizer before it sells out. The selection at Dollar Spots varies, but it's worth checking out a few until you find one. In the meantime, good luck shopping at Target!
