Dollar Tree

I only shop at Dollar Tree for a few, specific items. On this trip, I wanted to purchase a ‘Congratulations’ greeting card for someone at work and a couple of helium balloons. The first balloon I chose — out of stock. So, I picked another one — but they were out of helium… in both tanks. Come on Dollar Tree, you can do better.

Needed to wrap up a last minute gift. $ 1 for gift wrapping paper and $ 1 for tape. SCORE!

I know, my husband thinks I’m cheap… but I’d like to call it being wise with my money.
Everything in this store is $ 1, and c’mon… we’re in a recession. I’d rather spend $ 1 on floss than $ 3 & save the other $ 2 for weekend activities.
Add up the savings & you’ll find yourself coming back.
Most recent purchases here:
–50 pack Mint Plackers floss (high quality floss– I actually don’t cringe @ the thought of flossing anymore b/​c it’s so much easier with these… and they don’t fall apart like the cheapy flossies)
— Pack of 8 wedding bubbles (bought like 30 of these for my wedding; cheaper than Michael’s or online stores) & the bubbles work!
— pack 20 of black clasp-​free hairties (because I lose these all the time & definitely like $ 3 – 4 at Walmart) … tip: do NOT buy their bobby pins though; the paint chips
— dustpan
— 2 decks of playing cards
— pack of 4 dice
— tissue paper for gifts
— pack of 48 clear plastic forks
— metal wire trash can (like for under the desk)
***tip: this place is actually really good for travel-​items (like toothbrush holders or small bottles, or travel packs of advil/​etc.) AND wedding stuff– like frames for table numbers or small vases or votive holders/​candle sticks***
And yes, they do take credit cards.
Yes, they do exchanges if you buy the wrong thing & are very nice about it (but NO REFUNDS).
Overall, definitely somewhere you should check out if you’re a student, like to get good deals, or just want to be SMART with your money!
