A Kmart shopper was left stunned when she found a $49 item that was better than the $500 version of the same thing. TikToker @obgyn_en_halley took to the app to share her find with her followers and absolutely blew their minds.

Halley revealed she got her hands on the $49 Weekender Tote from Kmart, saying, "I'm comparing it to the $500 baby bags that I've looked at. I'm just going to show you."

Bringing out the bag, she said, "They were just putting them on the shelves when I was in there. And when I tell you I saw it from a mile away and was like, 'What is that?'

"I just feel like the camera's not going to do it any justice, but look at this," she said as she showed off the features.

Halley loved the vinyl material and the striped lining, as well as the fact that it has a pocket that can be unzipped to attach it to a suitcase while travelling, a laptop compartment, as well as a large pocket at the bottom that's perfect for shoes, or even wet things like swimwear as it's lined with plastic and it's even ventilated. It's also expandable, and Halley adds that all of the zips are of excellent quality.

"How does Kmart have the audacity to make a bag like this for $49?" Halley questioned.

"The quality on it – Kmart can't keep doing this to me because I'm literally going to go bankrupt," she joked. "There's so much room in here, are you kidding! This is insane."

Halley shared that she was going to use the bag as a baby bag and would put snacks in the bottom with an ice pack, thanks to the plastic lining.

"I just needed to share this it with you, because I can't even deal!"

Halley's video has been viewed by almost 623,000 and many others shared their love for the tote, with one user saying, "I've had this exact Kmart bag for literally MONTHS and I've put it through hell and it's still like brand new."

"Saw your video, wanted one, sold out practically everywhere, double checked, Kmart near me had some in stock, ran in at lunchtime, last one in store, grabbed it, started using it immediately as my work bag because it fits E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G and looks so cool!" another said. "Love it! So thank you!"

"I’m currently looking at baby bags & this is PERFECT!" a third wrote.

"I don't need a baby bag anymore or any more bags in general, but I'm going for a look tomorrow," someone else joked.

"Honestly you have sold me," another said.

"This will be perfect for my Bali trip with my toddler," one person added.

"I was like, 'oh that’s pretty cool, might have a look next time I’m in store,' then I saw the extender and immediately purchased," another quipped.

"I still have a bag from Kmart from 4 years ago and still good after 2 kids and using it for work," someone else shared. "I love Kmart."
