Dollar Tree

One of the better dollar trees. They always have everything in stock and things you can’t find at the smaller stores.

A very well organized and fully stocked dollar store! I came to get some wrapping supplies and was very impressed by their selection. They also have aisles dedicated to uocoming holidays– for instance, they had 2 full aisles of valentine’s day stuff that would be perfect for hosting parties, and another aisle for st. Patricks day! This would be the place to go to get cheap things for decorating. Lots of disposable utensils and plates and stuff. The fake flowers look pretty nice too. Plus, they have a parking lot so it’s super convenient.

Yeah, it’s the Dollar store — big deal — we stopped in here to pick up a bunch of little plastic toys, tons of candy, faux tattoos, among other things — for 25 to 30 kids on our block. It was our 15^th Annual Block Paaaaarrrrttaaaay. There were 25 houses (couples or singles) on our block who participated this year (25 out of 30 houses). We had several meetings to organize our block party. We always have a theme too. We were «in charge» of the goodie bags for the little crumb snatchers (a/​k/​a «kids») on our block and had a $ 100 budget. This store is well organized, well stocked and clean. This surprised me because some times these stores can be triple «D» (and I am not referring to «Diners, Drive-​ins and Dives» here). I have found some Dollar Tree stores to be «disorderly, dreggy and disgusting,» but not this store. We purchased tons of mini candies, sour patch candies, little plastic toys and colorful glow sticks (bracelets and necklaces). We also picked up faux stick-​on tattoos, and even found some finger-​stache (mustache) for the little boys. Even the girls wanted the finger-​stache (which surprised me). The little girls got some mini-​stickers for their tiny nails. They seemed excited to get these — we even found some stuff for face painting. I was really surprised to find a face painting kit, but maybe it was meant to be used for Halloween, but hell, I used it for the little crumb snatcher’s tiny faces. We had a fantastic Magician for the kids, face painting by yours truly and live music (the DJ was incredible and got everyone involved from dancing to musical chairs). The kids were on a sugar high from noon until 10 pm (I’m sure the parents were not happy about this), oh well. The kids were like super balls — bouncing all over the place on a major sugar high! This year our theme was «patriotic» because we wanted to pay tribute to our troops. We managed to find small flags and other patriotic stuff. Several of our neighbors have sons and daughters serving in the U.S. Army and/​or Marines. We used the mini flags for our community tables, which were loaded with a myriad of salads and desserts. We even purchased red, white and blue balloons and had them filled with helium. I had no idea that the Dollar Tree store even sells balloons for all occasions, like the «Party Store» and, WOW, these were a lot cheaper here! I also had no idea that they sell name-​brand stuff (like cleaning supplies for the washroom or kitchen and even some name-​brand cosmetics). So, I was like «WTF!» On the other hand, my friend/​neighbor was like «Holy Mother Mary of God — thank you for all the good stuff that we found here» and with that we shouted «Amen and Amen» and got the hell outta there.

It’s a dollar store.
Don’t get all hoity-​toity on me, the Dollar Tree can make for a lot of fun… we were throwing a rather large family shindig and I had visions of a s’mores buffet.
A s’mores buffet?
Yes!
I bought minis of every candy they had: Brach’s Caramels, Snickers, Reese’s, Milky Way, Kit Kats, Butterfinger… even retractable marshmallow roasting sticks. We used multiple marshmallows with homemade cookies instead of graham crackers. It was indulgent and the kids (and adults) LOVED it.
While here I also purchased toys like big boxes of sidewalk chalk, cute individual bottles of bubbles– perfect to entertain the youngest kids.
What surprised me was the name brand cosmetics. Yes. Maybelline and l’oreal nail decals to amuse the older tween girls! No clean up, no chemicals, and no whining. This is rare for a tween so if you are faced with one, buy these for a dollar each instead of paying more elsewhere.
And for me, Physician’s Formula brow wax– which sells for about $ 5.00 at the drugstore but here is a sweet deal at $ 1.00. Good stuff.
They have tea lights and candles, which were placed in tall clear glass vases and lit the yard romantically when it got dark.
So get here to pick up some cheap treats and bargains when you are already loading up on dollar store cleaning products (Comet, magic eraser, bleach, glass cleaner and that like…) as one does.

Came in here for some simple supplies for an art project. The place is clean and well organized. Not to mention the cashier was friendly!
