A mother has revealed her nifty trick to make snack time a lot easier for her and her family - and it costs just $5.
Posting in Australian Kmart hack Facebook group, the mum used a 12 Compartment Organiser from Kmart to organise snacks so that they're at easy access.
She filled it with foods such as cabanossi, cheese, biscuits, olives, carrot and cucumber.
Although the product was originally designed to store things like bolts, fishing tackle and sewing accessories, a variety of other mothers have been using it for food too.

One mother revealed that she was actually using the box for the same kind of snacks for her family as well, which had been a hit.
Group members loved the trick, with many labelling it 'the best idea ever' and calling it 'bloody brilliant'.
Some even started suggesting it to their friends as an idea for days at the beach, picnics and for jobs that see people out on the road.
'Great idea for spontaneous road trips,' a group member said.

The use of the product to store food brought up the debate about whether it was safe to store food in due to the BPA in the plastic.
'If people are worried about the plastic why not just lay glad wrap in it before you place the food. There you go issue solved. I love this idea,' one woman said.
Another group member agreed and said she thinks it is perfectly safe to use it.
'BPA is only released from plastic in extreme amounts when put under extreme temperature just so you know,' she said.
'I’m sure there are worst things in this world we breathe and eat for this to be a major concern.'
