Dollar Tree

I was able to find some things here that I haven’t been able to find at other Dollar Trees around me. However, I do agree with Todd P. about things not looking nice. One of the aisles that I walked down was a hot mess. There was stuff thrown all over the floor. It kind of looked like the shelves threw up. Even though it wasn’t the neatest Dollar Tree I’ve visited, I’d come back. I mean it is a Dollar Tree so I don’t really expect it to be in tip top shape. Cashier was friendly.

I imagine when times are tough, stores like Dollar Tree become more important for people struggling to make ends meet. There is plenty to find in this store for those on a budget and I’ve browsed around a bit to find a few odds and ends that I couldn’t resist — simple stuff, like a bottle of dish soap for a buck. Who knew?!
The downside is maybe with so many people shopping here, it’s tough for the store to keep things looking nice. Or maybe management just doesn’t give a sh*t.
Filthy carpets, shelves a ramshackle, long waits for check-​out.
Maybe $ 1.49 for dish soap at Kroger is worth avoiding this mess.

Much like my visit to a thrift store, I’m reticent about going to dollar anything or even worse, the penny less than dollar place. But we went in and it wasn’t that bad. Lots of discontinued or overstocked elsewhere items that are all one dollar each. Mind you, a dollar here and a dollar there of what you think is all savings and not what you really need (sounds like a trip to Costco) add up quickly. I did SmartScan one product and found it twelve cents cheaper online if they ship for free.
