Deal of the day

These stackable storage bins are an easy way to create extra storage in closets, kitchen pantries, dorm rooms or small apartments. Each bin functions like a pull-out drawer, making it simple to grab clothes, snacks, school supplies or accessories, and when you don’t need them, they fold flat for compact storage.

If you’re planning to buy multiples, you’re actually better off buying two five-packs. At less than $36 each, you’ll get 10 bins for just under $72 — nearly $18 less than the $89.99 eight-pack. The bins also come in pink, yellow and greenif you’re looking to add a pop of color to your space.

Why this deal is worth it

• $35.95 vs. $59.99
• Less than 12 hours left to claim this lightning deal
• Ideal for dorm rooms, closets, apartments, playrooms and home offices
• Stackable, foldable design that’s easy to assemble and comes in multiple colors
• Smart shopping tip: The five-pack works out to about $7.19 per bin, while the eight-pack is $89.99 (about $11.25 per bin) — so if you buy two sets of five, it will actually be cheaper than buying one set of eight.
