Dollar Tree

So I came in this morning to buy balloons. I came in right behind another lady who also needed balloons. She was waited on by the front cashier who blew up her balloons and then rang her up. I waited over by the balloon station for several minutes while one employee was helping customers at the register. The manager Jim, was on the phone to someone by the conversation sounded like another mgr talking about the goings on of other stores. He clearly saw me waiting but just kept on talking.
Jim the mgr, stops to ring another employee up and still ignores me. The the cashier tells me I’ll need to get in line, which was 4 people deep.
When it’s my turn I tell him I need 12 balloons. He leaves the 5 people that are now behind me in line and starts pulling the balloons out of the drawers.
Finally the mgr hangs up and comes over to help the guy blowing up the balloons so he can continue checking.
GREAT prices, HORRIBLE service. I felt bad for the cashier who was doing his best to keep up during the rush with the mgr doing nothing to help.

Gift wrap for Christmas! I will tell you now please do not go to some expensive store and get your gift wrap stuff. I beg of you! I am doing you a favor… come here and get everything you need… tape, scissors, wrap, cute Christmasy holiday looking bags, cards… stockings even! Even little knick knack type gifts for your coworkers! The holidays are coming… save this tip and put it in your back pocket. I love Dollar Tree for little odd things here and there. They have really expanded this store too lately and put in more stuff.

It’s the 1.00 tree! What more could a girl ask for? Reasonable items for a reasonable price. This location is normally pretty clean, well stocked and in north euless. No complaints here :)

The dollar store. It has everything you need (except produce, meat, and clothes). But seriously… besides those items, it has EVERYTHING you need. And even though it says «dollar» on the outside, I’m still surprised that everything in here is seriously only $ 1. Isn’t that nuts?!
I stopped in today to grab some ribbon for a gift, and I was amazed at the wide assortment of product available. It seems to me that most items are pretty great quality as well. I didn’t feel like I was at a garage sale full of crap. This Dollar Tree is well organized, clean, and full of surprises. I had no idea that I could buy nice plates, bowls, glasses, and wine glasses here. I’ve been wanting to get a new set of dishes, and I’m definitely going to go back ASAP to pick out a set. They even have holiday colors!
Speaking of holidays (my favorite subject), The Dollar Tree has a decent selection of décor. Then they have a ton gift wrap stuff, make-​up and hair-​care products, office and school supplies, kitchen ware, boxed and canned food, flip flops and sunglasses, candy and beverages, vases and picture frames, candles and more. Take a minute to stop by, you’ll be surprised by what you find. And again, everything is actually $ 1!

My friends and family call me the coupon queen because I can stretch a dollar so far poor Georgie is unrecognizable! This is one of my favorite bargain spots. It is close to my job so I will pop in on my lunch break. They have the best selection of cleaning items, some national brands, and yes, all for a dolla! So when my our humble home starts to look like a frat house and I realize it has been a few weeks since I have vacuumed and mopped, I take my butt over here and load up on carpet cleaning powder, and all sorts of cleaners. Oh, and planning a party? Don’t go next door to party city. Get your cups, cutlery, plates and decorations here. I also have purchased many items for my upcoming nuptials here. Also, a secret between just us two, they sell the Star Telegram Sunday Edition… for $ 1! (With the Coupon sections!!!) Sshhh!

Let me tell you something about me: I have no problem letting you know that I beeline it to the clearance section just about ANYTIME I shop. It just makes mo sense to me to pay for a «brand». Granted you get what you pay for sometimes, but here you can pick up just about anything you need for $ 1. Last year I spent almost $ 100 on Xmas decorations all to not know where they are this year bc I moved. Never again. I took my cheap behind to the dollar store this year and I spent $ 30 to make my house look like Santa clause could live here!!! That even included me making my own wreath and wire cutters for the flowers as well!!! Which is wayyyy more pretty than the target or walmart ones. I also picked up things for my Xmas potluck like plates, napkins, cutlery, and cups. AND a coke bc I was parched after I filled my basket up with $ 1 goodies. :)
I always play the safe route with food items and things like that, but a snickers bar and cheetos are the same anywhere you buy them… and if you need it I’m sure you can stock up on some key pantry item like soups and rice if need be. Don’t act like you ain’t too good to get you some food out the dollar store, sometimes it is what it is. All in all, def a place on my list to save some $$!!
