With back-to-school season in full swing, stores are bringing out the best organizational essentials, from pencil cases that can be used as first aid kits, snack boxes, and more to desk organizers that will give your WFH space a whole new look. And Dollar Tree’s teacher-approved caddies are no exception. They can be used for so many other things, you’ll want to use them in the classroom, the car, the bathroom, and literally everywhere else in your home.

“My teacher heart skipped a beat when I spotted these large pastel JOT storage containers at @dollartree,” Kaila of the Dollar Tree Junkie Instagram account wrote in a 2021 caption. “These are almost three times the size of the smaller ones they make and the quality is 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼. The possibilities for these containers are endless and the price can’t be beat for sure!!” Even though the post is a few years old, these containers remain in stories—and continue to be a shopper favorite.

“Car ride meals!!,” one person wrote in a comment. The compartments are the perfect size for storing sandwiches, snack packs, and juice boxes on the go!

Another person wrote, “I love these cleaning products!” and Kaila replied, “Yes!!! I have one under my kitchen sink.”

“It’s also good for camping!” added someone else. “I can put my paper plates and cutlery in there!”

“I use it to keep all my hair and skin care products in the cabinet and off the shelf,” wrote another commenter. “And toothbrush and toothpaste too.”

Head to Dollar Tree to grab one (or more) of these teacher caddies and you’ll find yourself using them anywhere, anytime. Sure, they look great on desks and function well, but just think of how organized your bathroom will be!

You can order Dollar Tree’s caddies online in bulk, but if you prefer to buy them individually, Walmart offers a similar, albeit slightly smaller, option.
