Dollar Tree

Always 1 line open.
Never organized and ready.
Manager ignored the call to the front asking for an online pick up.
Look. I know things are laid back in the NOLA … I don’t care to waste both our times.

This Dollar Tree has the most horrible employees even with manager standing right next to them they still don’t speak or even look at you. It is always filthy inside and out. Make sure when you leave you have all your bags because it will not be replaced i guess they think people are trying to steal from them lol

Dollar Tree can’t be beat. I love this location on Canal because it’s easy to get to and my tax dollars stay in Orleans Parish. They always have lots of name brand items. I regularly will stroll through and stock up on pantry and cleaning items. Also, I’ve found some great brands that I don’t recognize, but when Googling, find out that they are popular in other parts of the country. I especially love going to binge shop on holiday decorations, of which they always have an impressive selection!
Sometimes it’s hard to get in and out of the parking lot, it’s kind of small and the store draws a good crowd, understandably. It’s also really hard to find a buggy that works. When you walk in, it’s a graveyard of locked-​wheel buggies because you can’t take them out of the store. One last issue is the long lines… but that’s a a staffing problem at Dollar Tree in general; they need to hire more employees and open more registers.

Store has a great selection, usually well kept. My biggest complaint is there are rarely enough cashiers. I almost always have to wait a while to checkout. Cheap is great but not if I have to wait forever for it.

I live super close, so it’s great for last minute things, batteries, or random holiday decorations. But there are always super long lines, sometimes so much that they incite mutiny — in December the lines stretched way back into the store and everyone was grumbling about the wait to check out. One dude took it to the next level and threatened to just walk out with his items. Then he did it.

I love dollar tree stores, but this is by far the worst dollar tree I have ever been to. I’m shocked that it has such a high rating but I’m guessing people are rating the brand not this location. This store is always filthy, looks like a damn hurricane went through it. Everything is thrown about in such disarray it’s unbearable to shop here and the carts are broken down beyond belief. There’s always a line 10 deep bc they are so understaffed. I tried to go last night and there was no parking so I just kept on driving. Not worth the wait. Ill be driving over to Carrollton location from now on. It’s worth the extra mile drive!!!

Oh dollar tree will you marry me? (sorry Costco, I’m cheating on you.)
I love this dollar tree! They have a wide selection of school supplies and right around Oct/​Nov they get a shipment of what I can only assume is workbook surplus. Several years in a row now I’ve scored workbooks that would have cost me $ 25 for $ 1. Can I get a huzzah?!? Homeschoolers? This is your place! Need modeling clay? They got it. Need magnets? got that too. Ping pong balls? you betcha. Markers? yep! Coloring books? That too. Classroom supplies? OMG yesssssssssssss.
Are you an Ebayer? They got shipping supplies!
On the party supply front. Come here first!!! More often than not I’ve fulfilled all but one or two of my party needs here rather than Party City (sadly Dollar Tree does not carry pinatas)
They’ve even have a craft section! Why have I ever paid more than $ 1 for glue sticks!!!
Employees leave a lot to be desired, most are rather cold. Lines tend to be long especially around holidays.
Mommy notes: Carts lock up about 2 feet from the door. Be prepared to carry all your stuff and wrangle the kids. Cheap toys. Dolls don’t have a full head of hair (but hey it’s $ 1!)

My one stop shop for costume accessories! They’re seasonal themed items are great for any costume you may need throughout the year (I mean, we are in New Orleans! When are we not dressed up)?
When I’m not looking for random items to makeshift into a costume accessory, I come here for holiday decoration shopping! I recently bought tons of Halloween decorations for $ 20! No need to waste away your money at Party City! I also like getting my Christmas decoration shopping here as well! Wrapping paper? Gift bags? They have it!
Quick tip: whatever you come here for, browse throughout the entire store. Sometimes you’ll find some great name-​brand items for only $ 1. I’ve seen Airborne, Halls Cough Drops, Softlips chapstick, Dayquil, etc. here!
Don’t be ashamed to shop at the Dollar Tree! You really can find some great deals!

Yessssss Yessssss and Yesssss!!! I love Dollar Trees. I feel like I’m on a shopping spree when inside. I mean everything is really ONE DOLLAR; this is the way Dollar Stores are supposed to be. I mean if it says DOLLAR then things should be a DOLLAR; otherwise they should be named family dollarS or dollarS general, because you spend more than one dollar, but not here.
I love these places because of the frugality of it all, but also because you can actually find name brand, quality products in here for a DOLLAR. No gimmicks, no false advertising… ONE DOLLAR gets what you need.
My only complaint, but still a 5 star review, is that lines. You can bet your bottom dollar (no pun intended, but cute huh?) there will be a line when you walk in and when you walk out. It’s just the nature of the beast. But I don’t even really mind the line, well unless the manager is outside on a smoke break despite the long line, this happened to me at a DOLLAR TREE in Kenner; because it gives me opportunity to hairy-​eyeball other dollar items that I may also want to purchase.
This particular store has parking lot that is shared and always packed… so street parking is normally the method I choose.

This Dollar Tree is great when you’re looking for bag stuffers, party decorations and supplies, or candy to bring to the movie theater (because I love me some movie popcorn but $ 20 in concessions is redonkulous).
There Halloween decorations were extensive this year, and I’m sure Christmas décor is being shelved as I type this. I have attempted to buy them out of glow stick paraphernalia of which they have an excessive amount of options. The other section I’m very fond of is their fancy plasticware (wine glasses, silver plates and what not) and school supplies.
At check out, try and know how many of each thing you are purchasing, i.e. 18 packs of glow sticks to help speed up the process. I would definitely say, hit up Dollar Tree before heading to Party City for non-​specific party décor.

Yes, I’m a fan. We don’t have dollar stores in Hawaii. I miss them terribly. No, the workers are not helpful. 3 were talking and I waited and shopped before asking my question. 20 mn later they were all in the same position and the talking had not let up. I’m not reviewing the workers. I will endure to shop at a dollar store! :) This is a big store.

I came here for the purpose of buying a beanie, and did not find it here. Why don’t they sell hats?!
Other than that, seems like a cool cheap place to shop if I’m ever throwing a party, since there are a lot of decorations. Valentine’s Day stuff was already being set up when I was there, and the New Year hadn’t even started. I think the stock rotates here, so you’re not going to find everything you need.
The area seems a little shady a night, but there’s a private parking lot so you’ll be fine.

I’m not a huge fans of «dollar stores» as most of the products seems to be low quality. But then again, what do you expect for a dollar?
However, there are a few items that make this store a worthwhile trip for me me on a once a month basis. I’m a huge fan of the liquid hand soaps and refills, as no one in the city ever has a better price; and this is probably the main reason I shop there. The cashier probably thinks I’m nuts when I walk up to the register with 10 – 15 bottles of hand soap. I know many of you are thinking 10 – 15 bottles of hand soap is a lot of soap for one month, but my wife and I are are almost self proclaimed germaphobes (LOL).
This is also a great place to buy gift bags, as all sizes are just $ 1.00, whereas you’d pay 3 – 4 times this amount at a local drug store or card store. Other than that, this is just your typical run of the mill dollar store. It’s always busy, especially on the weekends, so I recommend going early in the day.

Four stars as in ‘I am a fan of a huge space filled with fun cheap stuff.’
Not four stars as in ‘You will find 4 star quality items here.‘
You will find ALL sorts of fun random things that may bring some joy into your life. I found some holiday decorations, a coloring book for the neighbors’ kid, some wrapping paper with Cookie Monster at the beach, and a pair of reading glasses and they were all only One Dollar!
This place was clean, orderly and had just enough fun finds that I know I will be back just to see what they have next time!

One of the largest Dollar Trees you will find around and what is there not to love about getting tons of stuff for a dollar (especially in this economy). I love taking my little one their for little surprises and they have excellent craft projects too which is nice because they are inexpensive. Everything is a dollar and what is their not to love about that!

New Canal Blvd. location… Not sure when it opened, but it’s definitely new, and I’m a huge fan. You can get all kinds of cheap party decorations and stuff without having to drive out to Metairie.
