If you don't like paying inflated prices for basic staples then Dollar Tree should be your go to store for basic supplies. Everything in the store costs only $1 each. Some things, like the greeting cards, are actually 2/$1.
Dollar Tree carries a variety of items from toiletries (toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, shampoo & conditioner, razors and shaving cream, and much much more), and over the counter medications (Ibruprofen and Acetaminophen and more).
This is one of the best places to pick up any household cleaning item you can think of. My house cleaning lady was very picky about cleansers, but she never complained about anything I purchased at the Dollar Tree Store.
Planning a party? They've got everything from paper and plastic napkins, plates, and cups to party favors and even gift bags, wrapping paper, tissue paper, and bows to get you on the right track. Do you REALLY need to pay $3-$7 each for fancy gift bags at other stores when you can get nice quality ones here for $1? I wouldn't even think of it!
There are plenty of arts and craft supplies, office supplies, and even a section with items that elementary school teachers would need in their classrooms. And they're priced SIGNIFICANTLY lower than at the teacher supply stores.
There's a large section that rotates through seasonal items: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines Day, and Easter to name a few.
If you're outfitting your dorm room or first apartment they have a great selection of housewares such as plates, bowls, mugs and glasses, kitchen gadgets, even stuff for your bathrooms and closets. Get organized for a fraction of the price you'd pay even at Target or WalMart.
There is a section full of food, but my favorite section is the candy aisle. I'm picky about my candy, but they have plenty of familiar brand names such as: Nerds, Hot Tamales, Skittles, Mike & Ike, Reese's Pieces, Swedish Fish, Lemonheads, Dots, Good & Plenty, Sugar Babies, Milk Duds, Whoppers, Jujyfruits, M&Ms, Butterfinger, Snickers, Baby Ruth, the list goes on and on,
The cashiers here are very friendly, too. Mom and I got to chatting with Jackeline who kept a smile on our faces. We were chatting about the price for helium filled mylar balloons and why the 99 Cent Only Stores charge $1.50 for balloons filled with helium and the Dollar Tree only charges $1.
This is a very pleasant place to shop. I scored some plastic organizers for my classroom and my mom picked up some baby blankets for her puppies.
All in all, it was a good day to save! read more
