IKEA might be a household name for its inexpensive and on-trend ready-to-assemble furniture, but fans of the Swedish retailer know not to sleep on IKEA’s organizing superheroes and bags. In addition to its iconic blue shopping bag, IKEA’s DIMPA storage bag is a bestselling organization solution for a reason.

This surprisingly sturdy clear organizer can be used anywhere and for everything, from holding spare car tires in your garage (yes, really) to bulky winter bedding — and it’s currently on sale for less than $5.

Many budget-savvy IKEA devotees already know about the popular storage bag, which measures 25 1/2 by 8 3/4 by 25 1/2 inches and normally goes for $6.99. The design of the bag is deceptively simple with a clear rectangular body, a zipper, and sturdy black handles, and it lies flat, so it takes up minimal space when it’s not in use. However, it’s an all-purpose storage option that’s garnered over 1,000 rave reviews on IKEA’s website. 

Countless happy buyers praise the DIMPA storage bag for being a good-value purchase, thanks to how strong, sturdy, and large it is, as well as the waterproof material that keeps moisture out and protects whatever you’re storing inside. Some commenters shared that they use the versatile clear storage bag to cover outdoor furniture cushions, store tents and tarp, or to load up with miscellaneous items during a move. 

“So these bags are awesome and so versatile in what you can use them for and they keep everything dust-free,” one buyer raved. “I store a multitude of things in them in my home and garage, including spare clothes, bedding, suitcases, floor fans, wallpaper, oil-filled radiators, kids’ toys, cat carriers … my list is endless!”

Many also called the product a game-changer for moving day. A viral TikTok video from last year shows user Alizeslifestyle using IKEA’s DIMPA bags to load up everything for her move, showing just how versatile and strong the product is. The TikToker filled the heavy-duty bags with everything from clothes and duvets to electronics and board games, and then neatly stacked all of them at the end. 

Now that IKEA’s DIMPA bag is even more wallet-friendly than usual (for the time being), it’s the perfect time to stock up on these versatile storage solutions before they go back up to full price. 

However, if you don’t live near an IKEA or want a dupe that’s even cheaper, Amazon sells Lifewit 4-Pack Clear Clothes Storage Bags that look identical. The pro of these bags is that they’re sold in a four-pack — but they are a bit smaller than the DIMPA option.
