Dollar Tree

The only reason I’m giving this four stars is because they usually only have one cashier open and the line gets pretty long. With that being said, this is one of my favourite stores in the area. Those little dancing solar buddies that are all the rage are sold there for a dollar when I’ve seen them for $ 5 or more elsewhere. Everything is truly a dollar there, and they have a great assortment of knick knacks, books, small toys, food, cosmetics… I love puttering around in there. I would give it five stars if the lines weren’t so long. I wish I could do 4.5 stars because that’s really the only disadvantage.

Dollar Tree is a fully stocked store where every item really is just $ 1. (I clarify this by stating the obvious since some places that have the word dollar in their name sometimes have a range of prices.) This location has an array of items available. They always have holiday items near the front of the store, and I find it to be a good location to buy gift bags, wrapping paper, and even an occasional card which I’ve paid $.50 for. They tend to have a selection of mylar balloons for the holidays, which I’ve also purchased there. They have a decent selection of glassware, plates, and mugs. There are beauty products including occasional name brand items, so it’s always fun to take a quick look and see if there are any great bargains. (Currently they have Revlon lipglosses in stock.) I’ve bought some ok looking sunglasses here which I didn’t care if I lost or broke after I got tired of spending much more elsewhere and either lost or broke them. Today I actually found some electric tea light candles at Dollar Tree that I’ve been looking for but hadn’t found anywhere else. Great, unexpected find! Check-​out lines can get long, but service is efficient and friendly. I had to exchange an item once and it was an easy transaction.
