Dollar Tree

Disgusting!!! This place is the worst dollar store I’ve ever been too. The floors… Restrooms… Staff… Just rude. Maybe I caught them on a bad night.

I’m not usually a fan of dollar stores. Most of the time, I can find what I need elsewhere for less. But when I need something like wrapping paper, holiday trinkets and treasures, I head here to my local Dollar Tree.
This store has everything you could possibly need: bleach, hangers, mops, and peanuts (although I don’t recommend buying these things together unless you want strange looks). You are covered. In some corners of the store it’s like a back-​alley in Chinatown, with every off-​brand plastic toy you can think of. But that’s really not why I patron the store. It’s the awesome holiday gift trimming selection!
I came here last night on a search for several small decorative boxes. There, on an end cap, were adorable Christmas boxes cute enough that they didn’t require wrapping. Cheap and quick — perfect for the Holidays. I stocked up like a complete hoarder, and left happy with my dollar store purchase.

Clean and well stocked.

I just wanted to buy index cards so I came to this store. I found what I need to buy. As I was waiting in line, there was only one register opened and after 5 minutes, the line started to get longer but the cashier did not call to have the manager call another cashier to open up another register. I am just glad i didn’t have to wait long. I got out of here in about 5 mins.

There are plenty of great deals here. Out of all the Dollar Tree stores in Bakersfield, this one on Calloway is the best. They are always better well stocked, organized, and cleaner compared to the others.
You can find just about anything you need here. There are not only generic named items to purchase here for a dollar. There are also brand named products for a buck!
This is a bargain paradise, and I’m glad to have them close by.

This is actually one of the cleanest Dollar Tree Stores in town lots of great finds for so cheap. Seasonal merchandise, gift bags, greeting card 2 for a dollar! Got to love the Dollar Tree.

Plates and napkins and of course some great candy

What can you find at Dollar Tree? Cheap stuff. A crapload of cheap stuff. I think it is physically impossible to walk in and buy just one item; at least I never have.
This is my favorite place to go to buy cheap trinkets for my kindergarten classroom treasure box. I buy small bottles of bubbles in the wedding section (I love to think outside the box), balloons, plastic rings and barrettes, and a wide variety of little plastic toys. This stuff is a really big hit with the 5 and 6 year old set.
This is also a good place to pick up all kinds of things. You can get mouthwash, toothpaste, and all kinds of personal care and beauty products. I like to pick up brushes, barrettes, and hair claws. You can find cute plastic containers in all shapes and sizes for organizing things. I buy plastic tubs and baskets to organize classroom supplies. You can get ziplock bags for cheap, too.
Dollar Tree carries a lot of seasonal merchandise as holidays approach. If you want to buy stuff for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter, etc. just visit a couple of weeks before the holiday and you’ll find all kinds of themed merchandise at a cheap price.
Surprisingly, they carry a number of name brand items. For a long time I avoided shopping at dollar stores for anything other than things for my classroom, because I didn’t want to get stuck with off brand inferior crap. Well, guess what? My stepdad is a big fan of shopping at dollar stores and it was him that convinced me to climb down off my high horse and check them out for myself. Yes, there is a lot of off brand stuff in this store, but there are also a lot of well known name brands hidden here and there among the aisles like little Easter egg bargains.
Come on down and take a look. You never know what you might find, maybe even a chocolate Easter bunny if you get lucky on timing.

I get regular household supplies, cleaner, garbage bags, etc and walk out feeling like a millionaire because I’ll have bags of items and it usually doesn’t cost me more than $ 25! :0)

Typically a great selection of cheapo trinkets. You can also get off-​brand food items here, so woohoo!
I LOVE this place, though, and I think I’m addicted. It’s great for craft items– teachers and other childcare professionals, check this place out! I love how they have tonnes of stickers and cards. I’ve even gotten a pretty funny book here («Talk to the Hand!») that normally sells for 25 $…of course, only a dollar here at the Dollar Tree.
Be careful when it comes to purchasing body care products though. I’ve found that «splurging» on normal products when it comes to those items is the best idea, because Dollar Tree body wash is typically just watered-​down chemically-​enhanced soap. Nasty. Also, be prepared for a LONG line– every single time I come here, there is usually only one cash register open, and a long wait in line.
Love the store though, and I will most definitely keep coming back and coming back and coming back!
