Dollar Tree Has a $1.25 Container That Will Keep Your Berries Fresher Longer

We'll take one in every color, please.

We love fresh berries, but storing them properly to keep them fresh isn’t always easy. Rinsing and patting them dry can help, and placing the berries in the fridge when not using them right away is key, but sometimes, the most tried-and-true tricks don’t always work.

That’s where the proper containers come in. Thankfully, you can find affordable ones at Dollar Tree to keep your berries fresh longer without spending much money.

Dollar Tree’s Fruit and Vegetable Storage Containers with Lids

Dollar Tree currently has fruit and vegetable storage containers with lids (that actually lock) for just $1.25 each. We spotted a similar product at Walmart ranging from $3.55 to $8.89, so Dollar Tree’s version is a seriously solid deal.

The small plastic containers come in four colors (teal, green, red, and gray) and have a built-in strainer, making them ideal for washing and storing your veggies and fruit to keep them fresh for longer periods.

The reviews have been extremely positive. Many customers show their excitement over the cheap find. One reviewer said, "I bought one of these containers at my local Dollar Tree to see if it would keep my strawberries fresh. Boy, was I ever pleasantly surprised!" Someone else added, "I bought these and have been using them ever since. I use them with olives, pineapple, fruit, and even pickles."

Others stated that in addition to using them for fresh produce, these containers are also great for storing Legos or fasteners in a woodworking shop. "They are working great, especially for the cost."

Instagram's thecraftedstudioco posted a video about this find, showing how they washed fresh strawberries in the container (thanks to that built-in strainer) before putting the lid on and locking it for secure storage. Many commenters were eager to share their thoughts: "I love the veggie containers" and "The fruit containers are worth getting!"
