This $1 Dolly Parton Meal Prep Tool at Dollar General Is Your Answer to Flavorful Summer Cooking
One of my favorite healthy eating hacks isn't exactly a secret. Meal prepping good-for-you ingredients ahead of time makes it so much easier to pack your day with nutrition instead of junk. But aside from chopping, dicing, mincing and storing those items, I also love to make my own salad dressing. Let's face it, while the dressing might not be the healthiest part of the meal, it sure adds a flavorful punch. And I've learned that having refillable squeeze bottles on hand lets me store a few homemade dressings at the start of the week, giving me easy access when I have a bowl of greens or even grains in front of me.
But as I've also learned, I like my kitchen tools to be as colorful as the rainbow of ingredients I'm using to cook or assemble what I'm about to eat. And no one does cheerful kitchen accessories quite like Dolly Parton and her line of housewares at Dollar General.

Made from durable plastic, the squeeze bottle features a happy pink design with white daisies and butterflies that is almost guaranteed to make you smile. The easy-to-squeeze bottle gives you precise control when drizzling oils, sauces or dressings, while the secure screw-on cap and pointed nozzle help keep messes to a minimum.
If you want to mix things up, the bottle also comes in blue and yellow colorways, each using the same print as this pink version. At $1 a pop, you better believe I bought one of each, and they're currently housing three different styles of vinaigrette in my fridge.
Dollar General has so many budget-friendly home finds that go far beyond your kitchen, like hanging solar lanterns with an industrial farmhouse feel, as well as versatile storage pieces that are perfect for organizing and decluttering your space.
