13 DOLLAR TREE HACKS that beat AMAZON (unveiling our viewers' BEST kept secrets!)

[@danielledemello7382]

I work at Starbucks and when I’m feeling down I write “you are enough” on customer cups and it brings me joy. Got the idea from you so thank you.

[@DoItOnaDime]

I love that ❤️❤️

[@semwriter]

Did you get the black light flashlight at the Dollar Tree? I don’t see it on their website. Thanks

[@dotgoodwin4312]

That's so nice of you!

[@GinnySmith700]

That’s so nice. I’m sure it makes their day.

[@KCorrine]

That is so sweet! What a great way to lift you and the customer up. I want to come to your store just for that reason! Hugs to you!

[@laurenharper4392]

Your “you are enough” is what got me watching your videos. You are helping people more than you know. Thank you♥️🥰

[@kellymcfalls1458]

@laurenharper4392 . We are NOT enough Jesus is

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Be the sunshine today in someone’s life by helping them out in some small or big way or by listening to them fully if they need it. Have a Beautiful and Blessed day and week.

[@Sangfroid2]

I have NEVER seen such a well stocked Dollar Store as yours!!!

[@sociologyaddict8689]

Same here in Massachusetts, and the aisles are so narrow.

[@Goldphool]

They know she could come at any time, she's more important than a secret shopper!😂😅

[@suevajgrt342]

My guess...a staged store just for these videos

[@ivoryrichardson4074]

I live in a large metropolitan area- our Dollar Trees don’t seem to carry some of these items. Do they sell black light flashlights now?

[@tinytt854]

I went to Commerce City Colorado and theirs is stocked like hers. It's a little city you can drive through in 20 minutes or less. Our Denver and Aurora stores are barely stocked or shut down.

[@yennykim7113]

I always love when she says “you are enough” it just a simple reminder you’re amazing too 🥰

[@janicefendley663]

You can also put Pine Sol on cotton balls and put it in a trash can in your bathroom kitchen or laundry room, then the scent lasts longer. I had a friend who wouldn’t put the laundry away until her husband got home, so he could appreciate that she had worked all day too.

[@JanetCucino]

I've also used the candle wax squares in the Bathroom trash can. They also last a long time!

[@realfakedoors2]

The boot trays also make great humidity trays for your house plants! Just add some river rocks or lava rocks and add water so the rocks soak it up. Add more water as it evaporates. This also makes a great drip tray for house plants (with or without rocks)!

[@TheSaltySiren]

I use mine to mix soil and perlite together, when I’m repotting my plants. 🪴 So many versatile ideas!

[@stephaniewolfgang9730]

Thanks for this. I have a lot of plants and often have spillage on papers and other things..this is a great idea

[@christinamorris8193]

What section are they in?

[@JamieM470]

I have a boot tray under the litter box. Plenty of room on one end for him to step out into the boot tray & it catches kitty litter better than a kitty litter mat.

[@crmuirhead]

They also make great splat trays for any one who likes to get messy with paint and ink!

[@kbarnes6855]

😊Yay🎉🙌🏼 I got a mention in the video regarding the bedsheet tucking technique. The spatula has to be wooden, not plastic. And a long handled shoe horn works great too. Thank you for sharing all these useful hacks from your loyal YT community. We learn from each other! 💕

Yay way cool congrats

[@ednahall2538]

I recently started watching your videos. After trying years since 2016, I have been overwhelmed and just let everything go. Your hacks and suggestions and your kindness has given me new vigor. I love how you have given me encouragement and the urge to start caring about my surroundings again. It means that I am starting to think about me again.

[@denasharpe2393]

Welcome back!!! You are enough❤

[@irenehht7358]

When you make fairy bread, turn a plastic sandwich container lid upside-down and put a layer of sprinkles in it. Put the butter on your bread, place the bread butter side down on top of the sprinkles and give it a light press. The sprinkles stick better and won't go bouncing everywhere for you to clean up 😀🇭🇲

[@TheSaltySiren]

Brilliant!! Thank you for the idea!!❤

[@midnightkitchen8379]

That’s a good idea! I will try that next time I make the kids dairy bread ❤

[@pnchandler9820]

Tucking in sheets with a cutting board is amazing for more than one reason. Those of us blessed with natural, strong fingernails and those with tips can attest to this hack. Way too easy to break a nail tucking in sheets! You are my newest angel. Thank You!❤

The “swiffer” glass cleaner is my jam! Thanks, Kathryn, for always inspiring!!!

[@lauriefuhry6642]

I am wondering how well the " swiffer" glass cleaner hack will work on the dog nose prints on glass. Anybody tried?

[@Metqa]

I'm wondering if I found a way to clean the outside windows of my house. You know you are feeling good if you care about cleaning the outside of the windows.

[@SunShine-cu8vl]

My favorite part of your videos are when you say “you are enough”. It makes me smile and tear up. Thank you!

[@gourdhead22]

Kathryn....I laughed till I cried about the pinesol comment. I am 67 yes old and when my boys were little I did that with pinesol all the time. Glad to see others still use this trick. Back then no videos youtube I thought I was the only person that did that. My best friend was the only person whom I shared that have with. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love watching your videos. Thank you for reminding me that I am enough. It's very heart warming. This was one of my favorite videos...have a blessed day hugs Sheryl from Indiana 💙🎨💙

[@roguetaco5487]

Honestly, I'm going to do this the next time my in-laws come over (not that I don't tidy up for them) but yea pin-sol smell takes it to the next level.

[@kathyfowler1274]

Gourdhead22, I Love your story!! My best friend is a bit of a clean freak. 🥴 I’m not as much. 🤷‍♀️ I even feel guilty if my car isn’t spotless when she gets in. 🤦‍♀️ So Silly!! Just live and be happy and be enough!! 🤗❤️

[@Abstracted_]

My Mom, who I loved and admired, really messed me up. She had a lot of rules. 1 was never use PineSol because people who used it were just trying to mask the smell of roaches. I’m 68 and still trying to fix my thinking. I’ve made a lot of progress. 😱

I have chronic health issues and live with chronic pain..... your cleaning hacks have helped me so much more than you could ever know!! Thank you!!💗💗

[@ibosquez5238]

Does your state have a program where they send someone to help you do things around the house? I'm in Texas and live with chronic pain and I'm on disability but they send someone to help me with dishwashing, laundry, sweeping mopping and cooking.

[@Patti-1962]

@@ibosquez5238 I suffer from a long list of autoimmune diseases but since I've only worked part time, I decided not to go through the stress of trying for disability. So I think it would be harder for me to get help, unless it was physical therapy or home health. My husband will be able to retire in two years (very early, but a blessing that we can), so that will take care of it. He does most of the cleaning now, and with what I can do, we get by. I'm so glad you are able to have help!!

[@ibosquez5238]

@@Patti-1962 It's really tough to get disability in Texas but by the Grace of God I got a judge that stood up for me leaving my lawyer speechless and stupefied. He said that never happens. That's God's influence, I think. I really did not expect to get any help at all. I was so surprised. Edit: Anyway, I just wanted to say that God gets the credit.

[@rebecacabral1]

In Brazil we have drains on the bathroom - not only in shower area - and we do the scrubbing thing with the broom all over. It's a staple for cleaning, we learn it from early age, so it's funny for me seeing you guys raving about it 😄 We also do it in the other rooms, like living room and bedroom. We scrub with the broom/soap, then water, then squeegee. It's the most effective cleaning ever. For some kind of flooring, we buff it with dry soft rag wrapped around the squeegee. I loved seeing my porcelain floor looking like a mirror. 😍

[@k.anderson5039]

I have always wanted this to use wet brush & squeegee the water on floor into drain. I know it gets cleaned better. I notice places in Europe also have floor drains. America also has the bathroom stalls with 1/2 inch gaps so you have no privacy so we don’t do bathrooms well. Part of me wonders if we don’t have floor drains because some people thinks it’s not modern, classy or aesthetically pleasing. It makes cleaning faster & more effective but maybe when most women didnt work they had more time to clean. Now most people women don’t have the privilege & we need all the help to clean faster & still do a good job. I notice in other countries the entire bathrooms is tiled to ceiling which is great for cleaning too. Older bathrooms are often tile up to mid wall which is so good by the toilet but now most people just pee on the wall so it’s always going to be smell & never all the way clean on porous surface

[@PWatts-ff2fd]

[@lovedr606]

1. omg, the microfiber towel glass cleaning idea is so brilliant. My mirrors are so tall I couldn't get to the very top without a step stool. Kinda mad that I never thought of this before! 2. Another thing to add to the puppy pad at the bottom of the garbage can--I add 1-2 drops of peppermint essential oil, and even if something stinky goes in the garbage, you only smell peppermint. It is helpful if you have barely anything in the bag and don't want to waste the bag taking it out to the outside can, but you don't want to smell anything when you open up the lid to put more garbage in. All you get is the Peppermint smell.

If you start making the boys clean their own messes in the bathroom they start getting a lot more neat and tidy. Give them a black light and set them to work.

[@Moms1958]

Or they can sit down, there’s no medical or physical reason they have to stand to pee

[@JesusisKing222]

That’s a great idea to give them the black light to use! Would definitely make it fun!

[@nancy9478]

​@@Moms1958 uhm, no. Where did you get that idea? Just teach them good aim.

[@irishpixierose]

​​@@Moms1958 absolutely agree and they can use TP to be cleaner. I had a childcare worker/sitter relayed her husband's thoughts about it. Saying the boys would be made fun of in the men's room when he uses a urinal and wipes. Ah, nope. There is no TP at the urinals and they can use a stall if they prefer. He should have taught them what a urinal is, how to use it and that it's perfectly normal to use a stall in the men's room. Manhood is much more than standing to urinate.

[@trishgels]

I kept a bowl of Cheerios on the back of the toilet, that way, my stepson could toss a few in & aim for those. My daughter was so much easier. Funny story, when my she still used her own little potty, I once found her sitting there quietly, looking at a board book! I asked her what she was doing, & she said, "I'm trying to concentrate!" I then added a ½ basket on the wall at her height for a few board books

[@jenniferggreer457]

Along with the pinesol "hack" I had a coworker who was in her Late 50s tell me, (was early 20s then) that she would have a vacuum cleaner out, plugged in , and a bottle of pledge or other cleaner, and a sponge/towel or which ever..sitting out in a very obvious pace so that if someone dropped by in a "lazy day" she'd say "oh I was just catching up on cleaning, but I can take a break .come on in" in reality she was laying in the couch! I always thought that was funny

A Hack: In 2021 I had a stroke in my spine. I can no longer walk and I have to wear adult diapers. My husband buys the puppy pads by the box to use under me in my bed so if I had an accident they help keep my bed dry.

[@Simply_Lynda]

Love the window/mirror hack with the microfiber on the “swifter”. I have a big glass mirror in the bathroom and I’m short so cleaning isn’t the easiest. Should be super easy now 😊 In the garbage disposal, the little black rubber seal pops out for cleaning. I do it about once a month. It’s crazy how nasty that thing gets in just a month and I went years without knowing it came out

[@dchall8]

Mine doesn't exactly pop out. It fits into grooves in the side of the drain, but once you know that, it comes out easily.

I have been scrubbing mine attached. I will try to get it out. Thanks!

[@sandraimboden6660]

Fuller or Stanley sells a great brush for that chore. Bought mine in 1995 and use about monthly. I drizzle Dawn on it, and scrub lightly. Takes off all that gunk. Seems worst when visitors help and put cooked meats down it. I think it would smell soooo badly without it.

I'm going to use the fiber cloth hack on my swiffer for my patio doors and for cleaning regular doors as well.

[@Mom2anAngel1019]

Thank you for the Fabulous with baking soda tip! It’s made my house smell so good! I also put Pine Sol in the toilet bowl brush holder. So every time you pull the brush out you smell the pine sol. Instead of the just the brush, then place the lid down to hold the brush until it’s down dripping after cleaning.

FYI! Puppy pads are awesome for underneath the kitchen or bathroom sink. It’s easy clean up if there are any accidental house cleaner spills. And if you have any slow leaks you will notice them wayyy faster.

[@KathrynGaines-ty9zo]

Wow great suggestion

[@katesk286]

I feel like for under the sinks a more sustainable option would be the reusable pads on Amazon. Still easy clean up and they are reusable. Albeit a bit more expensive but the cost comes down significantly when you're reusing... I also used them for my baby's when they were small and prone to spit ups.

[@katrinahereford7532]

When I was in my late 20s, I had a friend who was an elderly Australian, she was married to a full blooded Cherokee. They had an acre of property, and half was a vegetable garden. She raised and sold all different colors of canaries (her nickname was "Mary Canary). At that time, my daughters were little (they are now in their 40s, and I am 68).She made your "fairy bread" she called it "tea party bread" she said they served it at tea time. She made it for my daughter's and gave them a little demitasse cup of cooled tea with it. They felt very grown up, learned to respect fancy china cups and it kept them quiet and occupied so we could visit.

What a great video Kathryn! I love when the boys and Charlie join in testing the treats for us, so cute!

[@tiffanys4767]

Never seen a dollar tree this well stocked and organized. Lucky!

[@singeratheart88]

Yes!!! I have used the shoe mat hack for years now and it works wonderfully! We now have a German Shepherd 1-year old that makes a mess with the water and it collects into the shoe mat and contains most of the mess! It's fantastic!!!

[@elh1977]

I'm glad I saw that hack because I used that pet mat and it's not good. It ended up warping up and breaking with the water.

[@cattastroficka196]

Oh my gosh, we have two GSDs and they ARE messy drinkers! I ended up putting a bath mat under their water bowl.

[@tinamcclure7984]

When I was in juvie back in the 80s they used a broom to clean the bathroom floors. Yes I was a problem child lol. Thank you for all your tips. And you are enough too. Oh on that broom and dustpan hack I would e6000 and 2 combs so it went across the entire dustpan.

[@dchall8]

PERFECT application for E6000!

[@carriquilts218]

I pour a splash of pine sol in the base of my toilet scrubber keeper! Not only does it help with any smells and disinfects it long term... It also smells great for days!

When I was a little girl (in the 60s) my mom would make me the same treat she enjoyed during the great depression. Buttered bread with sugar sprinkled on top! Not as colorful as fairy bread but pretty delicious!

[@blrville]

Oh yes, my mama did the same thing for us.

[@kirstiekoschnick8433]

My husband is Dutch and they have a snack using chocolate sprinkles and buttered bread called Hagelslag. So simple but fun for kids.

[@sandycollins3613]

I've never been to a dollar tree that is as organized as the one you film at! I love your enthusiasm, and I learn about products and hacks from you. Thank you 👏👏👏

[@apriltatum5543]

Thanks for giving me some inspiration this morning 🙄. You have a lovely family and you are a joy to watch 😘

[@shannonyeates1359]

Yes! Aussie fairy bread is very popular at kids party’s. Mix it up with other sugary toppings. My favourite is jelly mix, collect the rainbow 🌈

[@michaelp9707]

My favorite one is The Dustpan/comb hack ill be doing that one👍.Waxing shower 🚿 doors is great as well just dont spill any on the tub floor 😬.I have used hot candle wax to seal high moisture bathroom seam areas,so wax is great for spots where toughness is not as important.

I love DT small containers for my craft supplies! I keep tiny mirrors, crystals, little gems of varying sizes, etc. I keep them upside down in drawers so I can see what's inside, vs right side up w/labels. If I can see what's in them, I'm more apt to use w/e, as I visually skip past labels & choose what I see. I also love mini canisters to display on shelves. I found little glass containers in the shape of the plastic DT cookie jars. They come full of tiny diamonds. So, I took those our, & filled them w/different sizes of pearls. Just adorable!

I love using the small snap boxes for storing my earbuds (2 pairs) and the stupid usb-c that I need for the one (and nothing else in my house yet). Makes my smaller items easier to find/not lose

[@dj_alboe1360]

Thank you SO MUCH for telling us about the hack for tucking in the sheets!! I have arthritis, bone spurs and torn discs in my back and I've had to have my son make my bed for me for years, because tucking in the sheets hurt too much. I had one of those plastic cutting boards, tried the hack and I can make my own bed now!! That might not seem like a big deal to an able bodied person, but for me, it means more than I can put into words.

[@mariadelosangeles154]

I use the dog pads in my bird cages bottom tray ...easy clean up!

[@nikkidare54]

It was a big thing in bird forums a few yrs ago to never ever let birds near those pads...the "fiber filling" in them is apparently fatal if ingested by birds....not telling u how to care for ur birds, just passing info along..

[@loveangel94]

I enjoyed this video!! My Mother passed away almost 8 yrs ago. She saved my baby bottle brush and I it for cleaning 💜

[@l8nightroker1]

Can’t wait to try the dustpan and comb hack! I have been wanting one of those brooms so bad but just couldn’t bring myself to pay that much for it.

[@shelliemathews1043]

Same!!!

[@kigeerdink6662]

Great video, one of my favourite little tricks is to use the cutting mats in the kitchen section to hold up my long thigh high boots with a socket or ankle length stocking over the top to prevent spiders from surprising you by being inside your boots. As an Aussie, Fairy bread was very common for birthday parties and using either a cookie cutter or sandwich cutter you could shape them into fairy wings and sometimes mixing chocolate sprinkles with the rainbow sprinkles makes it tastes even better.

[@gailagilliland3268]

Thanks for such a good dollar tree, hack video! I started writing things down and ended up having to watch a second time to make sure I got everything I wanted to buy. I have six hacks for a total of 11 items that I intend to purchase! You are my go to girl for dollar tree purchases. ❤️

[@CATSCRATCH52]

ME, TOO!😃

[@lifetodamax]

Kathryn! You introduced me to the world of Dollar Tree content during the pandemic and it's really awesome how your channel has blown up! I can tell the different production and presentation improvements you've made that make your channel more polished, but it's still the same positive, creative, personable down to earth you. With the high angles in this video, I thought you had a drone for a minute haha. Great camera work Charlie! I love this video features hacks from viewers. Audience participation and engagement!

[@spyduhgirl]

Fairy bread is an Aussie birthday party staple 😍 We love you too Kathryn! No one had told me I was enough today & I nearly teared up.

[@meganmccaffrey5066]

My daughter’s preschool made fairy bread as a snack when they learned about Australia. It has been a year, and she still occasionally mentions it and I will make it for her.

[@syguzman5739]

6:39 This is a common treat in Australia. It's usually served at kids birthday parties 🥳

[@angelicone181]

Agree, its definitely a common birthday party treat here. Definitely not a peasants pop tart, we actually have pop tarts here.

[@ornettej3485]

I use the push broom attachment to clean my shower. What a back saver!

[@rsunamita8667]

I like your enthusiasm in showing all those hacks. It makes me try all of them

[@bunniesandroses499]

along time ago I tried to tell someone about the broom in the bath, its good that you demonstrated it, it's great for elderly people or if you want to clean it quickly.

[@frostwalker3202]

I can personally recommend the hack using a boot/shoe mats for pet food and water. We also use a puppy pad liner on it so that clean up is easy. Wouldn't recommend doing that if you have actual puppies in the house or small dog that's housetrained but we have cats and works wonders!

[@amylou5559]

You are a treasure to Dollar Tree and Me. Even though your store is a mess it is well stocked. I'll watch you again. Thank you

[@tiabeaniesemotionalsupportdmon]

My mom’s place is right on the Intracoastal Waterway and the entire back of the house that faces the water are huge, long panes of glass… she has a heck of a time getting them clean (and she is of retirement age, so probably not the best thing for her to be climbing the ladder to wash those windows). I’m going to tell her about that window/mirror washing hack!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!♥️🥰

[@pingpong1265]

I love your energy for your videos! All of your videos are so motivational. I always get in a cleaning mood after viewing!
