The savvy saver shared her good fortune with other bargain hunters via Facebook.
“Yes! These cup carriers are BACK at Dollar Tree,” said the happy grandmother, who also posted a photo of the six-cup carrier.
“They’re AMAZING for teachers, but I’ll use mine for movie night snacks for the grandkids!” she added.
“Good idea for a night of sleep/cinema,” agreed one person.
“I just bought two, one and a spare, to use in the back seat as a drink holder for my grandson,” said another practical grandmother.
“He just got out of the booster seat and needs to sit in the middle to be legal and safe.
“That means covering the folding cup holder like he covers it with his back.
“I just buckled up the right passenger seat and now it has a drink holder and five extra cups for snacks and toys!”
Dozens of people responded that they intended to run to their local Dollar Tree to buy the same product.
This means they will save money, as similar six-cup products sell at Target for $3-4, with fancier versions advertised for almost $50.
Buyers also shared tips on how they planned to use their caddies.
This included potted plants, paint holders, and even salad toppings.
“This is necessary for Costco trips because they don’t have drink holders for delivery orders,” wrote one excited shopper.
“Sounds like good phone prisons to me!” said another.

Several teachers agreed on its practical uses.
For example, one of them said they make “great drink holders.”
“I’m a teacher and I had several children who got Happy Meals. My husband got it for me and used one of these to hold them all.
“I use them at preschool to hold water when we paint with watercolors,” shared another.
“I use them in my classroom for student water bottles!” said a teacher.
“I’m looking at a super sturdy, reusable cup holder for those days when I’m chosen to bring lunch to everyone at work,” was another practical piece of advice.
Others said they planned to turn them into cupcake holders, while one said she was “hoping it would fit on my pool railing.”
“We use them for travel! There never seem to be enough cup holders when we travel,” one person said.
