[@thedealguy]

People have been asking me for months for a video to save money at Dollar Tree, so if you enjoyed this video, please give it a THUMBS UP as it helps me in the KZbin algorithm and subscribe! 😀 What are some of your Dollar Tree hacks and secrets??👇 Comment Below 👇

[@melissakirk9033]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I have ordered from them online and had it delivered free to my local store but there are some items they will only ship to your home. I'm also glad you told people that we they don't always have to buy in bulk online because I watched another video about shopping online at Dollar Tree and they didn't tell people that.

yes ever since Dollar Tree increased their prices to $1.25, i've noticed there are many things which make better sense to buy at Walmart

From a Dollar Tree Addict, 😜 You Nailed It!! Great Advice! If you are lucky enough to find a good store with great employees, count your blessings!! 🥰❤️🤗

Yeah I've learned there's 2 larger Dollar Trees in my local city!

[@kathyfowler1274]

[@Tazzitta]

Didn't know about the coupons, THANK YOU!! I always use coupons but never thought to use them at dollar tree. These days every single penny you can save adds up. I happen to be on an extremely tight budget lately so I thank you, my family thanks you and my pocket thanks you for all you do!!! We Love you too! ❤️

I always thought those green baskets were for re-shelving! Now I’m going to check them out next trip

[@mollysmith6055]

Same here!

[@tinytt854]

Yep. Me too.

[@terirachelsims8928]

Every year Staples has great prices on "back to school" items. The spiral notebooks, for example, can be 4/$1.

[@calcat7375]

Exactly Walmart also has the notebooks 4 for a dollar and if you need to you can order them from pickup too

[@rfowler6039]

I agree about checking out different Dollar Tree stores in your area. I have 3 and one is a total mess, one is okay, and one is perfectly clean. Kind of like Goldie Locks, I found one that's just right! 🤣

[@thedealguy]

That’s usually the case 😂

[@Kimzeb0410]

Same here with my local dollar trees.

[@Yormsane]

Dollar Tree's shelves are often bare because the stores are so understaffed. I'm sure the back rooms are piled high with unopened boxes of new stock, but there's never enough staff to actually re-stock the shelves. I've been seeing this for the last couple of years here in Colorado Springs, and I feel sorry for the over-worked (and under-paid) staff who are trying to keep the ship afloat.

[@j.m.7056]

Same at my local Dollar Tree. The staff are great but overworked.

[@CrystalKat]

😳 Just when you think you know it all about Dollar Tree… You have out done yourself Matt. Thank you!

[@Cheray_]

Just saw the same sprinkles in my store's clearance yesterday! Great tips...I stock up on customer appreciation day and those coupons usually work at Family Dollar too😉When buying online...ship to store FREE! Better stores tend to have flowers and hula hoops outside😉Not all holidays clearance like Christmas, they have to stock signs and decor because they never ship back to warehouse to keep low prices!! Only Valentines candy will clearance at mine😢 My best tip: know and talk to your DT managers👌🏾Tyfs❤🙏🏾

[@thedealguy]

Amazing tips! Thank you Cheray!

[@beckielocke6804]

I work at dollar tree, your dollar tree is set up different than one up here, we have the clearance up by the registers, we finally got new registers and now are store looks great, I've worked for dollar tree for 5yrs now , love my job...

[@PaulaZF]

This was a really good video! For notebooks, I have seen them around back to school at Staples for as little as $0.25! My other tip, most stores put their discount areas as far away from the front of the store as possible. That way customers have to walk past all the regular priced items to get there. Target puts them on the end caps at the back of the aisle. I’ve even walked into a clothing store for the first time and headed to the back and found the things on sale. Works almost every time!! Also, the more expensive the store, most of the time, the better the discount. Saks Fifth Avenue had great discounts. When I worked downtown I was in there all the time and found great deals on quality items. Keep smiling!! 😊

[@StonettesEnigma]

YAY! An "extra" Dollar Store video! These are my favorite, even if I can't always find a specific item. Thanks for all you do for us Matt! ❤️

[@dalemorris7014]

Halloween & fall stuff usually shows up in our Dollar Tree in the summer, Christmas shows up in August as well as Back to School, etc.

[@kathywiseley4382]

Same with my store. Easter items have been there since the middle of January.

[@reneerupert5830]

Way back in 2008, I binge shopped at the dollar tree to furnish the first place I lived in. I filled two carts and spent like $150. It was in NH so there was no sales tax. Just stuff 🤭 that place was my little heaven for so many years. These videos really bring me back

[@carolynalison4997]

You have the tidiest Dollar Tree I have ever seen, Our here in Lakeland, Florida is a mess and it's dirty. Thanks for great info!

[@audreykate12]

Funny you mention impulse spending. I love your videos because they “scratch the itch” to window shop!

[@Gransonec]

Of course, if you are buying something that supposed to be on clearance, pay attention at the register, because they often don't change the prices in the computer. Even for holiday clearance items, some of the items still ring up at the regular prices.

[@rhondakennedy819]

Thanks Matt. Be kind to one another. Stay safe. Love to all

[@thedealguy]

Thanks Rhonda!

[@GinaP-T]

Thank you so much Matt! You are the best! Love the tips you are offering in this video. Yes, stay away from DT can food department not only because of the price but always check the expiration date and be careful with the bumped ones and the risk for botulism.

Matt, I loved all the tips & tricks you provided in this video for Dollar Tree shopping! Thank you soooo much! *massive hugs* ❤️

[@adriennefein2284]

WOW. Thank you Matt. I’ve never even thought of this way of shopping. You’ve always shown us deals & discounts but this is wonderful. I’m grateful for your support, kindness, generosity as well as your understanding. Just 1 more suggestion again, can’t you please find the craft store Michaels. We can all use your detailed smart shopping & your daughter will love it 🥰

[@thedealguy]

Working on it Adrienne! Just want to make sure I have the best tips possible for the video

[@countrybootsgirl]

Seasonal in my area is usually 2 months in advanced. Spring was out as soon as Christmas was done.

[@CharlotteStockton]

The stacked carts of loose boxes are stacked so high that they appear to pose a falling hazard. This might be particularly true if small children are allowed to be around the vicinity and are playing. I cautioned my Dollar Tree regarding this when they had so many carts at one time that many of the aisles were blocked. Although I understand that Dollar Tree doesn't always have the requisite employees to unstack the boxes immediately, customer (and employee!) safety should always be a priority.

[@freekarella3024]

The DVD/digital download tip is so smart. I never even thought of that. Thanks.

[@eldazuniga7785]

I wish my neighborhood Dollar Tree stores were that clean and organized.

Currently canned chicken is .09 less at my DT. I didn't know I could use coupons. Thank you I learned something.

[@JD-tn5tb]

Maybe they changed their policy but Dollar tree last told me that there was no deadline to exchange items. They said they don't accept returns but always take exchanges as long as we have the receipt. So one year I bought a bunch of supplies for a vision board party but didnt use all the sissors and glue, etc so I was able to exchange the supplies for something else several months later. Thanks for all the other tips such as customer appreciation day!

[@thedealguy]

Wow that’s amazing! I just wanted to stick to the rules of 30 days for the video, but I have heard they may accept them after the fact. Thanks letting everyone know!

[@mr.a.]

Wow I always learn something new with you! Thanks! That DVD tip was helpful and we have family that are intense crafters so they always purchase after all the holidays. After Christmas they bought tons of Red and Green ribbons. They made Valentine’s Day wreathes with the red and will be making St. Patrick’s day wreathes with the green!

Every time I go to the DT in my area, I don't know why since they never have anything, I ask the manager when are they getting their deliveries, to date, I have received 3 different answers.

What a great job you did on this video! You dropped a lot of info I did not know and will be looking for the next time I'm in the Dollar Tree. I knew about the canned goods and the box mixes - but I did NOT know about the "Clearance Section" (but perhaps my store doesn't have one). Another thing this particular video --- I have never ordered online from Dollar Tree, but your information has inspired me to look there as well. We love you Matt!!

Great hacks! Dollar Tree definitely does its restocking on Fridays. I stopped by my local DT this past Friday around 1:00 pm. I was unable to shop all the aisles because associates were restocking with huge carts that almost completely blocked some aisles. I would have been better off leaving and coming back a few hours later.

[@margaretnewton5985]

Aww I just love these videos. I loved the hacks and although I am in Canada I often see items you have mentioned. One thing that I particularly live in my Dollar Tree is Christian cards. All seasons if one's life. We use Dollar Tree for our Subday School and often find wonderful items that work really well with our theme. Have a great day! You have brought lots of smiles to my face today.

I agree with the price on can items except the Bumble Bee albacore tuna, at my Walmart the price for the same size can is $1.75. So you can save .50 at Dollar Tree for this item. I love all your KZbins. Thank you.

[@maryklenewski7190]

Thank you so much for sharing all the deals!

[@PaulaMooreCreations59]

In reference to ordering online; if you order in bulk, ordering twenty four items, some stores will exchange your extra items for something in the store. They will not give you money for the items but, like I said, exchange for an equal value in the store. This makes it much easier to buy online. Remember to check with your local stores before you expect them to exchange.

[@DarkFaery]

One thing I've found that's a great deal in the office/school supplies aisle are two packs of top-bound, college ruled notepads for $5. For some reason, the top-bound notepads are always priced higher.

These are great finds! Thank you for sharing! Our local Dollar Tree is not great, as it lacks a lot of the items you show in your videos. Side note: Matt, I've noticed that your voice and enthusiasm are a little bit muted compared to previous videos. Did someone say something about you being too loud and too much? I'm not complaining or criticizing at all. Just curious because it feels weird not listening and watching you with the high energy I was used to. Love your channel and videos!
