Dollar Tree

These places make me want to wash my hands after going in there. But, that’s not why I am there, I’m there to find stuff for cheap. The place is a pig-​sty, and I feel badly for the underpaid staff, but the selection for cheap Xmas stuff was great.

This dollar tree has a wide variety of things to buy. I love their frozen food section. They got good selections when it comes to frozen dinner/lunches.The packaged dry foods aren’t so good though. I had bought some cookies and crackers at one point and they tasted stale. There is also a strange gas smell in the store.
Customer Service is great but they should have more than two registers open.

This is one of the bigger $ store with lot of groceries.
I came in specifically for clear tape. They didn’t have it on the shelf, so I asked one of the associate to check it for me in the back, but he said what’s out is what’s out.
I wonder if it’s a policy that they can’t check in the back, but this is my second $ refusing to check in the back. I would feel relieved if they at least went to the back and looked. Oh well, it’s a $ store!

This store is always a mess. ALWAYS! On top of that, they never have enough lines open. If there is a line of people going to the back of the store, common sense would tell you to open another register. But hey, it is the dollar store after all.
While I don’t appreciate the two things I’ve previously mentioned, I do appreciate that they are very well stocked. From cleaning products to snacks and everything in between, they usually have exactly what I’m looking for (and then some).
They’ve also done a little remodeling recently. I guess it’s an attempt at making the shopping experience better. So, for that and having a nice selection, this store is A-​OK with me.

The assistant manager of the rockville store is very rude. She doesn’t respect her coworkers. She talks them down and makes them feel worthless right in front of customers! God knows what else she acts like away from customers. Marissa, to do well, treat your coworkers as equal workmates and no customer needs to see your disgusting behavior.

Everything here is actually a dollar… and quite a lot of it is actually good stuff. I come here for party supplies (paper plates, cups, utensils, tablecloth covers) a lot since I host a lot of play dates for my kids. We also get school supplies, floss picks and balloons here. It does get crowded and messy on the weekends though. The people who work here aren’t the friendliest but they also aren’t rude if you ask them a question, etc. Turnover is quick though so if you see something, grab it or it won’t be here tomorrow

This location is very convenient, but the selection at this Dollar Tree is abysmal. Once I went to buy nail polish remover and there was only one bottle on the shelf! Perhaps the staff was planning on unloading a shipment soon, but I did not get to even ask about it since the only employees I saw were managing the two check out lines six-​seven people deep.
They rarely have what I need so of course I buy a bunch of other stuff anyway.
BP and I get the individual ice creams from the freezer from time to time. That’s always a positive…

It’s a dollar store, people. You are not going to find Coach and Clinique at a dollar store. Almost all dollar stores carry exactly the same merchandise. I go to this one often as it is around the corner from my office. They usually have what I come in for. I am taking away one star because it is messy. I am taking away a second star because I do not feel the people are approachable if you have questions or need help finding something. Other than that, it is a dollar store. Not a bad dollar store. Not a remarkable dollar store.

All I can think is: you get what you pay for! But in this case, probably less than what you pay for. Everything here is junk! The food section looks like the kind of processed junk that can survive for 5 years without refrigeration. I did not see anything of decent quality here and will not be going back.

OMG This Dollar Tree makes me want to gnaw my eyeballs out. Its an utter clusterfuck. Things are in a completely mess. Disorganized. Theres always a line at the checkout counter and Im ALWAYS bumping into customers. Damn its annoying. Please avoid and go to the other Dollar Tree down the street.
I only come here for the freezer items but Im thinking I may have to find an alternative.

I enjoy coming here every once and awhile, especially for holiday supplies. But, if you come here for holiday items, come here quick because they run out fast.
They have just about everything here-​food (they even have a refrigerated sxn), school supplies, toys, party supplies, art supplies, gift wrapping, toiletries, and much more. When I come here, I never seem to leave empty handed. The quality of the items here are generally pretty good, especially for a dollar.
Unlike a lot of dollar stores, everything at Dollar Tree is actually a dollar! Love love love it! Good finds at a great price. I’m a fan of Dollar Tree.

At Dollar Tree EVERYTHING costs no more than $ 1. I’m a huge fan of dollar stores but it really annoys me when a store names itself a dollar store just to entice people. I have a lot of respect for places like Five Below and Dollar Tree because they actually sell things for the prices they claim in their store names.
Perhaps the reason Dollar Tree is successful is because it is part of a chain. Quality and consistency is a goal of theirs, and while certain holidays call for inconsistency when it comes to tidiness, you can always count on them to have items for just a dollar (even popular brand items such as Colgate, Little Debbie’s, Kleenex, Utz Chips, Energie, Suave, the list goes on…)
I find Dollar Tree to especially helpful when it comes to holidays and school supplies. Being a teacher and often having to find supplies for over thirty kids at a time I’m always on the look out for the cheapest prices on quality items. Granted a lot of items are seasonal Dollar Tree does carry a variety of useful items and foods on a regular basis.
Here’s a quick list:
Candy and snacks– Sour Patch Kids, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (8 pk), Hershey’s Milk Chocolate (8 pk), Theater sized boxed candies (Mike and Ike, Hot Tomales, Junior Mints, etc.), Twizzlers, Charms Cotton Candy, Andes Dark Chocolate and Mint, Swedish Fish, Skittles, Nerds, Runts, Weaver Popcorn, Utz Chips, Little Debbie snacks, etc…
Health and personal care items– Colgate toothpaste, Crest toothpaste, Colgate toothbrush, Suave shampoos and conditioners, VO5 shampoos and conditioners, L’Oreal shampoo, Dial Soap, Gilette shaving crème, Jergen’s lotion, Softsoap liquid soaps, Irish Springs and Zest bar soap, Halls coughdrops, Tylenol, Carefree pantyliners, etc.
They also carry Disney, Nickelodeon, Palmolive, Ajax, Clorox, and other brands. You can find a great selection of party supplies, houshold items, books, food and snacks, arts n’ crafts, and cleaning supplies here at most Dollar Trees like this one.
A new thing I like about this Dollar Tree is that they began carrying frozen and refrigerated foods. Don’t worry my friends and I have been shopping at Dollar Tree for years and we’ve never found any spoiled or expired foods. Again, I think it’s because of they are well known and are part of a big company.
If you haven’t checked out Dollar Tree, you really should. I must say you may find yourself addicted and wondering why you never shopped here sooner. There’s always plenty of parking both in the front and back of the plaza and this Federal Plaza Dollar Tree is in good company with Micro Center, and TJ Maxx.
Beware: Holiday items are often ransacked during busy shopping seasons like Christmas, Halloween, and Valentine’s. Try the Dollar Tree on Georgia Ave. in Wheaton or the one on Ft. Meade Rd. in Laurel if you’re desperate for certain items and can’t find them here.
