The DIY taco station using a $15 Kmart item 

The Queensland shopper took to the group to share her 'game-changing' dinner hack using the Kmart Bamboo Cutting Board with Storage which is down from $29 to $15. 

The board, which comes with four compartments and two graters, is designed to cut and dice fruit and vegetables efficiently and with less mess. 

However, this shopper fashioned it into a taco station, which she then transported to her bedroom for a cosy dinner in bed. 

She wrote in the post, "Not sure who needs to see this but the $29 bamboo chopping board with drawers makes an excellent taco station!"

She then shared a photo of the setup, which included grated carrot, diced onion and tomato, lettuce and mince in the clear containers.

On the chopping board part, she had placed the taco shells, ready to be filled with the toppings below.

"For other taco toppings, we also had cheese, guac, sour cream and taco sauce on the other board. I ran out of space," she added.

"I use mine all the time for normal cooking as well and it makes it so organised."

Another shared: "Tacos in bed. As a mum with a small child, this is what dreams are made of — uninterrupted tacos in bed."

Then someone else wrote: "I need this in my life!" while a different user replied, "Take my money!"

Meanwhile, other people shared the countless ways the board could also be used. 

"I absolutely love my chopping board but I made mine into a coffee station," said one, showing off her nifty setup which included tea bags, coffee and sugar in the drawers and a coffee machine and mugs on top.

Others suggested using it for picnics, cheese and crackers, charcuterie and meal prep.
