In the world of kitchen gadgets, there's a certain thrill that comes with discovering a new tool that promises to make life easier without breaking the bank. For our savvy seniors who appreciate both value and functionality, Kmart has once again delivered a delightful surprise that's causing quite the stir among Australian shoppers. It's a $5 item that's been flying off the shelves, and it's easy to see why.


Introducing the Berry Storage Strainer, Kmart's latest kitchen sensation that's been dubbed a 'game-changer' by many. This nifty little gadget is more than just a strainer; it's a multi-functional marvel that doubles as a refrigerator crisper, designed to keep your berries clean and fresh for an extended period. And at the unbeatable price of $5, it's no wonder shoppers are exclaiming, 'I need it!'


So, what makes this berry storage strainer a must-have for your kitchen? Let's dive into the details. The strainer works similarly to the well-known salad spinners, allowing you to wash away germs and pesticides from your produce without the need for transferring to a separate container. This is particularly important for our health-conscious members who understand the importance of thoroughly cleaning their fruits and veggies.


The design is clever, with a lid that features holes which can be opened or closed by turning a knob in the centre. This means you can rinse your fruits, drain them, and then pop the lid on to store them in the fridge—all in one go. The foldable handles are a thoughtful touch, ensuring the strainer takes up minimal space in your refrigerator.

One satisfied customer raved, 'This berry storage strainer for $5 from Kmart is fantastic. You can drain, wash, and store the strawberries in the one container.' It's clear that this item is not only practical but also simplifies the process of keeping your berries in tip-top condition.

However, it's worth noting that while many shoppers are thrilled with their find, some have offered words of caution. One shopper advised against placing the item in the dishwasher after experiencing a slight mishap, 'Don't put it in the dishwasher! Mine warped,' she said with a laugh. Others have expressed that they prefer traditional methods of storing berries, such as using a paper towel at the bottom of a container or giving them a vinegar bath.


But the berry storage strainer isn't the only organisational gem Kmart has graced us with recently. Earlier this year, the retailer released a range of products designed to streamline your kitchen drawers, including a $6.50 cling wrap dispenser and a set of three zip-lock bag organisers for $10. Angela Pan, from Western Australia, shared her excitement about these items, saying, 'Starting off so strong, Kmart has finally come out with these zip lock bag organisers and cling wrap dispensers.'

The wrap dispenser boasts a rubber grip to prevent sliding in drawers and neatly contains rolls to avoid any unruly unravelling. The zip-lock bag dispensers, available in three different sizes, can even be mounted on the wall for easy access and to maximise drawer space.

Whether you're a berry aficionado or simply someone who appreciates a well-organised kitchen, these Kmart finds are worth considering. At such affordable prices, they offer a simple way to enhance your culinary experience and keep your kitchen in order. So, next time you're at Kmart, why not see what all the fuss is about? You might just discover your new favourite kitchen helper.
