Ooh Are you like me? Dollar stores are my favorite places to shop!
Everything inside for a dollar but sometimes there are deals like two for $1 for certain card brands in the greeting cards section! And even then, items that come in packs provide even greater savings. Affordable is the key word here. When everything in life combined makes life so expensive, finally there can at least be some reprieve in your life, well, if you venture to come here and find what you need.
It's probably not for everyone. If you're overwhelmed, hate or are allergic to messy places, don't or even hate shopping with a passion, you don't have a house or office or family or friends ;) this place will not be for you! But what does that mean for me?! LOTS more for me to shop! Hahaha! :P As for messy, this place draws a lot of different ppl and probably - I'd venture to guess - products come and go quickly so I guess that's a reason for the store to be kinda in disarray. If you have patience to find what you need, you will not only get what you need but save some hard earned money.
Parking lot: I love it that they have their own triangular-shaped parking lot. It's smart and just the easiest way to park.
Customer service: Inside the workers might not speak English all that well but be patient and they will help you much as they can.
Products inside:
Great finds for household items (screwdriver packs, zip ties, rear view mirror items for your desk, clips of different sorts, bottle brushes, plastic hangers, ziplock bags, containers and also food containers that are stable poly propylene plastic, toilet paper, tissue paper boxes, paper napkins, condiments, vinegar, household cleaners, dishwashing liquid, hand sanitizer), simple office supplies (packs of pens, pencils, art supplies; writing paper and pads of different sizes; zippered pencil case pouches), things to simplify your life, gift wrap essentials and greeting and thank you cards, snacks, decorations (artificial flowers; nice/cute glassware), and a lot more I'm sure of that I missed bc I wasn't there all that long.
Today I was there for a pair of slippers to wear in the hotel room, ziplock bags and vinegar to wash and store my salads and fruits, and affordable a
greeting cards, but I also found other things I needed such as a pack of plastic hangers, an over the door hanger hook, alphabet beads and teeny clothes pins for a future art project, tissue paper, paper napkins, a large poly propylene plastic container for washing veggies in, and a couple rectangular containers for holding the veggies.
Later during this trip (so I won't have to tote everything around), I'm going to return to pick up some fun finds for prizes for my lions club (on Oahu in Hawaii) Tail Twister fun activities. I'm glad this place exists so that having simple fun and living a simple life can be somewhat more enjoyable and affordable.
Thank you for doing what you do, Dollar Tree! I appreciate you for stocking such great finds and for always attempting to keep everything stocked as organized as you can despite all the foot traffic that comes through your store! :D
