Busy mum shares ‘genius’ camping trick for storing oils and sauces without taking up too much space – and inspires thousands to do the same
Thousands of parents have praised a mum-of-two after she shared her clever camping trick.

While the bottles are normally used to hold bathroom liquids, such as shampoos and soap, the seemingly ‘genius’ idea worked just as well at storing small amounts of oils and condiments.
