Dollar Tree

Everything’s a dollar. Well, most things. There’s quite a selection of personal and household items, food, cards, etc. If you are looking for top quality, then it may be a miss. However, there are some name brand stuff in here up for dibs, so you may get lucky. The checkout process may be a wait since there was only one cashier working when I went. The manager came out and started cashiering after she seen the line increased by more people. I admit that this doesn’t happen often in dollar stores. We did go on a good day and was happy overall with the visit.

I never thought I would be reviewing a dollar store, but I should never say never because that is exactly what I am now doing. I have been in this store a few times and wasn’t quite impressed. However, leaving this store a few days ago, I was so excited with all of my bargains that I just had to write a review.
Lets talk about toothpaste for a minute. The selection they have is huge. Granted the tubes are a bit smaller than the average tube but for a dollar it is a great value. I use the Crest Whitening With Scope and I was really shocked to see that Dollar Tree carried it. And even more shocked that they were not expired. My friend also picked up the Crest Whitening 3D (I think) and this is normally a formula that is more pricey. However, here they were a dollar too!
While browsing through the store I came across the Secret deodorant I have been using for years. Like the toothpaste the size was smaller than usual but it was only a dollar and it was the scent that I like!
Several months ago I picked up really cool coasters here. They were a leopard print and they look great in my living room. I picked up a box of kitchen sized garbage bags the other night and didn’t expect much from them. To my surprise they are strong and hold up well.
Dollar Tree has a large selection of candles too. I was surprised that they had M&M’s Scented Candles in stock. They had quite a few different scents but I bought the Red Hot Cinnamon. I just cant believe they were just a dollar each.
Lets talk about candy for a minute. OMG they have every movie theater candy available. Same size boxes that the movie theaters sell but yes only a dollar! I couldn’t resist when I saw that they had Red Hot Tamales. Spicy and delicious just like I remembered them. None of the expiration dates were even close to expiring either. I would definitely hit up Dollar Tree before you go to the movies. It’s insane to pay movie theater prices for the exact same thing you can buy here… for a dollar.
I walked out of this store so happy and giddy with excitement. I cant wait to go back and check out the kitchen isle. I didn’t have time to linger but next time I will allow myself more time to shop. I am a cheap date, LOL. For just eight dollars I was a happy girl.

I love this store. There are so many so-​called «dollar stores» where not everything is a dollar. Everything in this store is a dollar and they have a huge selection. I found some awesome nail decorations and greeting cards at 2 for a dollar. Obviously the quality of some of the items aren’t great but there are many things that I feel I am getting a deal on.

It’s always good to have an alternative. And a good one.
I needed a super toilet cleaner and BBB was unable to have that (LOL — probably not pretty enough for them!) but was surprised at like — EVERYTHING they have!!! like proper aluminum foil for $ 1!!!
The big YAY was the aluminum pans i use to bake my dinners in! As a 60 hour weeker I like to prepare the food with sauce in these pans and just dump it in the oven each night — hello = 3 for $ 1!!! Now that’s friggin good.
Big downside. There are only 2 (sometimes 1) people at check out and it always seems like people give up waiting on line and just leave…
