‘On Mondays my daughter has swimming and I was over wet swimmers in the bag, so I grabbed this cute little waterproof bag from Kmart Australia for $5,’ she said. 

The mother was shocked to find that the small bag not only fit her daughter’s swimmers, but a towel, goggles and swimming cap – all with room to spare. 

She also noted that there was a matching $12 beach bag in the same pattern.

Another, Well Organised Life, said the compact bags worked perfectly as a way to organise swimming bags.

‘These will work a treat to organise our swimming bags! It could be bigger & fit a towel – but this would also be good to use for sunscreens & bits n pieces so they didn’t leak through the bag,’ she wrote. 

Other uses for the bag included a way to store cloth nappies, a phone protector at the beach and even as a purse.

The 25cm x 29.5cm bag comes in four colours, and according to many, is already difficult to find in store due to its popularity.

This isn’t the first time Kmart has impressed mothers, with their $2 ice cube tray recently found to be the perfect way to turn a lunchbox into an on trend bento box.   

Claiming the trick will save you time, money and your sanity, one mother found that all you need to do is invest in the giant ice cube tray and a $3.50 clip container from the same store.

You then slip the ice cube tray inside the clip container – and voila! Your very own homemade bento box with separate sections for fruit, cheese and crackers.

‘Just a wee bit of genius from @reve.ever..,’ budget design site, Rough Diamond, posted on Facebook.

‘A very handy #kmarthack using the large ice cube trays ($2… which make amazing ice cubes with a wedge of lime frozen in them) and the Kmart container for your very own bento box!!!’.

The trick has since been lauded for being inexpensive, easy to wash and good for controlling portions.

‘Good cheap alternative,’ another person posted.

However, while some mothers have been quick to praise the ‘hack’, others have spotted a flaw.

However, not all people are fans - one mum posted that Kmart already sell segmented lunchboxes for $5 (pictured) - 50 cents cheaper than the two put together

According to some regular Kmart shoppers, the discount store already sells segmented lunchboxes for between $4 and $5 – 50 cents less than the ice cube tray and clip container combo effort.

‘Small fishing tackle/bait box at Bunnings and Mitre 10 also are very good cheap alternatives. Sides go all the way up (not leak free for yoghurt though),’ one tongue-in-cheek commenter posted.

Another merely said that she had located a $5 pink segmented lunch container in Kmart that day.
