Last week, I shared a post on My 25 Favorite Things to Buy at ALDI and so many of you loved it that I thought I’d do a similar post on my favorite things to buy at Dollar Tree.
Here’s the thing about Dollar Tree, while everything in the store is truly only $1, not everything in the store is worth $1. Some things are GREAT deals. Some things are cheaply made and/or can be found easily for less than a dollar elsewhere. So when you shop there, remember this: just because it’s a store with great deals, doesn’t mean that everything in the store is a great deal.
For those of you who might not shop at Dollar Tree, I thought it would be fun for me to share some of my favorite things to buy at Dollar Tree.
1. Tissue paper
2. Wrapping paper and bows
3. Plastic serving trays and bowls (great for entertaining!)
4. Greeting cards (2 for $1!)
5. Plastic table cloths, silverware, cups, plates, napkins (these are great for parties and entertaining!)
6. Glow Sticks
7. Make-up (I usually only buy only brands I am familiar with, but I’ve had great success with buying lipstick and lipgloss from Dollar Tree.)
8. Pregnancy tests (yes, just $1 for real! And they work!)
9. Photo Frames
10. Beach Toys — great for when you are on vacation and forgot to bring beach toys or don’t want to bring them along with you!
11. Puzzles = super cheap entertainment for kids! And you don’t have to worry if they lose pieces! 😉
12. Party Supplies
13. Cheap Toys — we buy stock up on these for road trips or chore incentives. I will wrap them up and the kids get to open them and they love it! 🙂 {And yes, your kids might not be like mine and they might think that’s weird!}
14. Books — Most of these will be ones I’m not interested in, but you can usually find a few fantastic gems in the middle of all the junky titles! 🙂
15. Socks — They aren’t the highest quality, but they have two-packs for $1 for kids that we’ve purchased and had great experience with.
16. Waste Baskets
17. Flip Flops
18. Organizational Supplies
19. Hair Items
20. Spices & Seasonings
21. Plastic Wrap & Foil
22. Plastic Bags & Freezer Bags
23. Glassware & Mugs
24. Brooms
25. Sunglasses — yes, these are cheap, but they work great in a pinch!
Dollar Tree Shoppers: Do you agree with my list? Anything you would add or take off? I'd love to hear!
