I've got mixed reviews about the Dollar Tree stores frozen and dairy sections. I live in Oklahoma and our store has only had these sections for less than one year. Though they seem to be doing well, I don't know about the quality and control of some of the brands they sell. I would think they all stock the same items, that you can buy the same brand of cheese in any of their stores that sell these foods, etc..
For example: I purchased a small tub of margarine spread and accidentally left it out on the counter for 2 weeks (got pushed behind the planter on counter) and it looked to not be spoiled and no moisture even pooled up on top of the margarine inside like other brands do. Of course, I tossed it. I think it was ''too processed'' and not as quality as other margarine products.
I bought a 24-slices package of American cheese, then grilled some on bread in a pan on the stove top, and more another time in a convection oven as open-face sandwiches, but the cheese slices would not melt like other brands of American cheeses, and each slice kept it's original square shape (even the hand-torn pieces kept their torn shapes and would not melt - in fact, the bread top would even stick to the bottom it was so plastic like). Too-processed? I ate some and it was not very tasty. I got 'tummy troubles' after consumption so tossed the remainder.
I purchased a bag of frozen TJ Farm shoestring fries and there was a quarter sized, 1/2" thick soft black almost hairy looking thing inside the bag. It looked like a giant raised mole off of a human, but who knows what the heck it was, yuck. Thinking it was perhaps a cooking buildup in the processing as I would assume the fries are partially cooked, or something like that in preparation. Yet I tossed that whole mess right into the trash because the ''mole'', as I called it, was too disgusting for me to overlook and keep the fries. Not gonna happen for me.
Overall, I now have mixed feeling about all Dollar Tree's frozen and dairy sections and from now on will only purchase items like popsicle treats of a known brand, if really needed. I gave the frozen and dairy section a few tries and am just not feeling like I will keep shopping there for frozen and dairy foods. It is my opinion many of the products are too cheaply made. read more
