The $1.25 Dollar Tree Find So Good I Went Back for 3 More

There’s a dark corner in my pantry where jars go to disappear and condiments settle into quiet retirement. I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit reaching, rearranging, and occasionally knocking something over, trying to find the sesame oil, for example.

One day, on a whim, I picked up an acrylic lazy Susan from Dollar Tree. I wasn’t expecting much, but at $1.25, it felt like a low-stakes gamble. Fast forward a few weeks, and I now have four and counting. They’re in my kitchen, bathroom, under my sink, and more.

Why I Love Dollar Tree’s Acrylic Lazy Susan

The most obvious, but important nonetheless, is that these things spin. The smooth-gliding, 360-degree rotation has made a surprisingly significant impact on my day-to-day life.  It’s especially helpful for those awkward corner shelves where space is often wasted.

Where To Use a Lazy Susan

In the pantry, I use it in the back corner to make the space more functional, helping me easily access items and reduce waste. At 10 inches in diameter and under 2 inches tall, it’s perfectly sized to fit on standard shelves and cabinets, while maximizing vertical space. 

Under my kitchen sink, I’ve been using one to hold my go-to cleaning supplies, like sprays, scrub brushes, dish soap, and stain removers. I was skeptical that it might not be able to handle the weight, but it’s holding up very well. I’m also testing one in my fridge. So far, it’s a win because I no longer have to excavate half the shelf to get to the mayo.

I swapped their usual snack plate for a spinning one to make weekend lunches more fun. The kids thought it was the coolest thing ever—and suddenly, snack time felt more fun.

Beyond the kitchen, one also lives under the sink of my half bathroom, where storage space is at a premium. Another keeps my children’s craft supplies tidy, including crayons, markers, paintbrushes, scissors, and glue sticks. I’ve organized the supplies into cups, and now, they can easily find what they need without asking me.

As everybody knows, acrylic organizational products are ubiquitous and often costly. But for only $1.25, this spinning organizer has proven its worth well beyond the hype—and the price tag. Like one of my favorite kitchen tools, these lazy Susans help solve everyday frustrations. And that makes daily tasks just a little less annoying.
