[@madisonsims8390]

GIRL!! Thank you for doing a strictly dollar tree channel! Some of us don’t have access to a target, bed bath and beyond and more to us all the time. You make it feel real on this channel and not everyone has money but I do know a lot of us likes to do stuff cheap! We love you dollar tree queen!! ❤️❤️😭😭

[@SensationalFinds]

You are so welcome! I'm all about making budget- friendly as amazing possible, I hate overspending on most of the stuff at store like Target

[@onelynn36]

If you soak the wood Skewers in Water before you use them they won’t burn. I bought the skimmer. Gonna use it with DT funnel cake mix.

[@camiele4]

I was about to comment the same thing! 😄 ...Soak in water first.

[@xaza7774]

Be careful with the plastics in the dolla 🌳. They have bpa and other dangerous chemicals.

[@Gigi-zg8zh]

XaZa most of their stuff says BPA free right on them. 😊

[@dawnmonson6575]

@@xaza7774 not all their stuff has paid in it. I always read the labels before I buy stuff. There are lots of plastic containers there that do not contain BPA.

[@Tonino_and_Friends]

I was about to suggest the skewer thing. 25 min in water and it won’t burn. Also do this with born on the cob.

[@chezg806]

I use the silicone pads for my glue gun.. beats the $10 price on Amazon! If you use bamboo skewers, soak them in water for awhile to keep them from burning up.

[@zannamu]

Great idea!

[@paulaparsons9197]

I was just wondering that, my glue gun is such a mess. Thanks for the info.

[@denisebentick8172]

Thanks for this tip, I burn my fingers often. I will get some pads for my glue gun

[@shaylaster1607]

Glue gun idea!!! Yess thx you💡

[@astrylicona3292]

The Betty Crocker's scissors are "AMAZING" 👌

[@latoyawilliams3997]

Need to get those 💕

[@PunkRockDiva1979]

yes they are

[@KiKiQuiQuiKiKi]

I’ve had mine for about ten years, use them almost every day and put them in the dishwasher. They’re (seemingly) INDESTRUCTIBLE!😸

[@paulakelly9244]

And you can open smaller tops or caps with the jaws inside the handles. Ever try to get the cap off of your E6000 when it's glued shut? These scissors will open it! Amazing!

[@monicabiggs1761]

Yes they are I have a pair I love them

[@bettydasher5875]

The silicone brush is also good for spreading wood glue. Some woodworkers use it then peel off glue when dry and reuse.

[@kaylblake15]

Good idea!

[@nyc10037]

I’ve bought a plastic hand held strainer, kitchen scissors ✂️, the small silicon utensils, stainless egging spoon, measuring spoons and measly cups. Love their kitchenware selections.

[@k.anderson5039]

I love going to Bed Bath & Beyond & seeing lots of items that cost $5+ there are basically the same as DT. The vegetable brush comes to mind- it’s basically the same thing for way less. If you are familiar with DT it’s always satisfying to walk around BBB & feel like you didn’t get ripped off!

[@melissaalexander2355]

It would be useless to go pay more money at another store when u can get Awesome finds at the Dollar Tree for a dollar.

[@kwelch308]

Girl, I love how down to earth you are it's so "useless" being fake! Thanks for sharing these, I need the apple slicer for my boys! I use a lot of the kitchen gadgets you mentioned actually. I shop there so often. It's crazy how good quality a lot of their things are. When you're on a budget, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!! Keep the videos coming!! ❤️❤️

[@kiki29073]

I feel you with the husband thing. Mine broke my good apple coarer cutter trying to use it on a potato.

A potato 😂

Yes, I've gotten quite angry at my bf for ruining new kitchen stuff.

[@mmcnally]

The silicone mat for hot tools is such a great idea, tfs!

[@lisakelly7074]

I love the pizza wheel so I use it to slice my grilled cheese sandwiches my quesadilla is anything that I need to cut it just I don't use a knife it's either the kitchen scissors or the pizza cutter that's what I cut grilled cheese and quesadillas with

[@JodisPanacheJodisPanache]

Hi love your channel. thank you for sharing your favorites. Dollar Tree sells a shelf liner that is the same thing as thejar grippers you showed near the start. It is larger, I got one and cut it down into squares. Was able to get 8 to 10 out of it. Just thought I would share that. Take care, be safe and try to stay happy and healthy.

[@GilbertBeans]

That’s a great tip! 🖤

[@nikkitobin8356]

Thank you 👍👍👍👍👍

[@k.anderson5039]

Use the silicon pad to open jars with- the silicon give a good grip.

[@shellynngirl1983]

Those grip pads are also great to keep cakes sturdy on your turn table. Especially when your making smaller cakes. It keeps the board still so that it doesn't move while you're icing. Also I use them to stack pots so they don't scratch, and I also use them under hot pots when serving something warm at the table.

[@malikisaflowerboy47]

The Betty Crocker Scissors are Great. The center area can be used to open bottles. I honestly don't know how I missed it all these yrs. It makes it So Easy! No more scraped hands!

[@theresak9915]

I love the timer... I use it for everything, not just cooking.. set the timer to remind me to pick up clothes from dryer (I' m in an apartment), time my cleaning (that's how I motivate myself!.... 30 mins cleaning... go lol... without the timer, I'm Useless!! ;) xo

[@latoyawilliams3997]

Need to try this.. Thanks for motivation 👍

[@kharlie22]

I actually used to do this in high school in the morning. That way I knew how much time I had in the bathroom, getting dressed and whatever else before I had to leave for the bus.

[@GilbertBeans]

I didn’t know they had the jar grippers! Definitely grabbing them. I love having scissors in the kitchen. I use them for everything. Open up packages, food, whatever. Those marshmallow skewers work great! We’ve had ours since last year. My boys have the smaller utensils in their kitchen 🖤

[@TwinkleToeMoe]

I LOVE the silicone brush!!! No more brush bristles on my meat!

[@vjc4502]

Love the scissors. The squeeze bottles are why I left the safety of my home to go to DT...& $40 LATER... Agree with measuring cup labels that wear off, but the betty crocker spatula is great. The skewers, scraper, scrubber n expandable forks work great too! The rubber covered tongs n baster have lasted 1 yr! I'm shook!

[@tonyahice614]

Isn't it funny how much we can spend at the DT? Lol I'm always going in for a couple things & coming out having left so much of my $$ with them

[@evamyrick9803]

Sarah, I use those same scissors to cut pizza too.I gave up on pizza cutters years ago. Hint when using straight skewers, if you use two what ever you put on the skewers will not rotate when you turn you food over. I own a bunch of the DT ones. But I like my double pronged one the best. My favorite kitchen item is the wire cake racks. I was buying the racks that came in two pc. . I have a large 12 ft x 16 ft pantry that has 9 of those 4 ft wide by 78 inches tall wire metal shelving units. I used the racks to close off the shelves on the ends or back side that don't touch the walls. I just zip tried them onto the shelves. Then on the end of one unit that the end is easy to get to I bent the racks into square "U" shapes and attached 10 of them above each other forming wire holders for my, Press N Seal, tin foil, wax paper, parchment paper, baggies and so forth. You can also do this to make spice racks or all kinds of things. In the garden section last year I purchase 4 of those flower pot trolleys. You know the ones that go under the pots and have little wheels. I use them as lazy Susan's in my cabinets I use the stainless steel scrappers to clean off the top of my Blackstone flat top griddle. I also sharpen them and cut a lot of vegetable at one time. I rest my glue gun on one. There are many uses for them. The skimmer is also good for dipping out pasta from the water. I cook in glass pans and you can't just dump the water off, the pasta will stick to the pan before you get it all dumped into a strainer. I find the DT micro fiber dish towels USELESS for drying dishes. Thanks Sarah for sharing your best kitchen items from DT.

The condiment bottles are also great for things other than in the kitchen!

[@amyeethomas2495]

Sure are!! I lost the bottles to do my tye dye so I got these same bottles to use 2/$1 can't beat it!

Hi Sara, you always give us wonderful ideas. Dollar Tree should honestly sponsor you!!

[@mtherfnprincess]

I definitely love those Betty Crocker scissors they are amazing. I recently picked up a few mini silicone items as well. I love their kitchen storage items. They are pretty good quality especially for snacks definitely not useless.

[@jessicatheriot1115]

I use the garden gloves with the rubber crom DT to open jars works awesome! My husband thought this was useless until he needed it and it works beautifully.

[@rebeccazody1278]

Jessica Theriot great idea!

[@SimplyMindy]

Yes girl! Those tools are definitely not useless!!!

[@loulalucille8946]

Those condiment bottles are great for putting icing in and making pretty cakes/ cupcakes!

[@mzm4574]

Are you soaking your bamboo skewers for a few hours before you use them? I find that usually helps but I do love the metal skewers also. They're so totally not useless 😅

[@dawnbrooks5349]

I basically like mostly all them, but my favorite is the scissors. I would be “Useless” without them.

[@happybabygirl4]

I use that veggie brush for my nails

[@wendyschnapa7582]

I like the condiment silicone bottles to transfer large jar or bottles of condiments, lotion, cleanser etc. I have many of them around the house. i use the scrubbers and little dustpan and sweeper too. Not everything in DT is useless. Like you said, many of the items are good substitutes for high prices items that do the same thing! Thanks Sarah!

[@TiffanieRose91]

I love using the little mesh strainer to rinse my rice! I need to get a new one.

[@luannebarlet7316]

I've become somewhat useless in the kitchen since all my chicks flew the coop! DT has plastic cutting mats, two in a pack! They are great to have under your art project, protects from paint and glue! TFS

[@kaylblake15]

Yes! I use them for crafting too!!!

[@bonnienewkirk-rhoades6008]

Agree! So many uses. I use them to extend the height of the sides of my cat's litter box-she sometimes overshoots, ew.

[@judymiller1530]

Love the silicone pad tip, and I've had my kitchen scissors for over 3 yrs. Used all the time and never had a problem. So they are a must in my kitchen. Bamboo utensils are also a must in my kitchen

[@judysbakeryandtestkitchen1654]

Mark the size of your measuring cups with a sharpie! Then they aren’t “useless!”

[@relayniedarcy]

Sharpie wears off after a while too.

[@momof3boyspr]

Thanks for all the suggestions 👍

[@Knight-of-Sarcasm]

Didn't know about the silicon; I'll hunt for that. Been using some of these for years. One thing you didn't include is a quilted placement sized "drying mat" that you place under your dish drainer on your drainboard. I have two and they are LIFE SAVING for keeping my drainboard dry during dishes. One of mine is a small one and one is a larger one. I need to grab more larger ones my next trip to DT I swear. Been tempted to get the white bowl, but I have a discarded Kitchen Aid metal bowl that has a ring I can slide my fingers through to hold still so I've held out on getting it, but I have picked up their stoneware bowls in a few colors for cereal for the kids--if they break, it was a buck. They come clean really well and stack decently. (Don't leave a can that you're rinsing for recycling in a white bowl though. I think I asked for trouble there) I've bought their packs of silverwear, I'm on the hunt for their wooden spoons--no luck so far, sadly--and I have my favorites I get each time from the meds section: Tylenol Sinus, Sudafed, Mucinex, and allergy in a pale green box. I bought my hair stuff from there. I bought their lanterns for use when the lights go out (have used them one at least for that and a few times when our parking lot lights were out and trash needed to go out). The dog collars work for my cats who destroy collars anyways. LA Awesome.Their pressboard door decorations are on my door for each holiday. Current one says Dream It! On the back is a metal butterfly in purple with a bead--it's my favorite of their door hangers. I LOVE Dollar Tree, but I know that I can get into so much danger in there. That's not to mention the food that I can buy! :)

[@akavienne]

One thing I'd add is the Betty Crocker spatula. They are great for scraping out from pans or bowls.

[@soniaetovar6041]

The silver scraper is not “useless”, it can have so many uses. I use mine in the kitchen when cutting veggies, I am able to scoop them up into a pan. Or you can use it to scrape off labels on flat surfaces after wetting it. I too love the white mixing bowl, but I use mine to throw my peels or scraps when I’m cutting and chopping. Betty Crocker scissors are great. 👍🏼 I love your idea of having a set of cooking stuff just for bbq, I’ll have to try it. Thanks for all your love and suggestions

[@tashak443]

The can opener from Dollar Tree is useless! Breaks on me every time ughh. But definitely down to try some of your suggestions!!

The bins are a life saver!! Neve useless!! Just reorganized my pantry with all white (then switches to all black) bins and it is so calming and pleasing to the eye 😌

[@elenacala]

I use the betty Crocker scissors for cutting bacon into dices and cutting green onions etc. Just wash them after each use.

[@wlknonsonshine]

The mini colored spatchulas.. I bought like 5 already use them for EVERYTHING lawd yes they are my favorite go to when I need a spiritual! Highly recommend

[@Msleelee9487]

i'm loving this stuff and the curtains in the back I need those

[@RoyaFelder]

I love all of my dollar tree items!! Everything is so useful. I’ve purchased some other most expensive items that have been useless, but my dollar tree items do the trick for the most part.

[@garmtpug]

I do have some of these items from the Dollar Tree. The only one I wouldn't buy is the apple slicer. I find that any that I've purchased, expensive or cheap, have not worked properly and some broke. I just use a knife now. I'm glad you've got a decent mixing bowl for your baking. I have one similar to the white one you held up, but it's quite heavy plastic. It works great for mixing just about everything. I have a scraper also and use it to pick up chopped fruits or vegetables on my cutting board. It seems to pick up every tiny piece. A great tool. I've got the silicone hot pads but wouldn't recommend them for taking hot items out of the oven. They just aren't thick enough and I've found the heat comes through very quickly!! Ouch! A fun video and makes me want to get to my Dollar Tree. Soon....

[@susandooley9630]

I just bought several kitchen things as an 8th grade graduation gift for my 14 yr old grandson. I’m going to HAVE to go to a different Dollar Tree to find some of those items!! BTW?? My grandson, who wants to be a race car driver or work on them?? Absolutely LOVED his gift!!! LOL so did his 12 yr old brother, since he gets to eat what his brother bakes!!

[@kristinj6298]

Love that strainer for rinsing canned beans

[@essencexoxo6374]

Great idea for the silicone pot holders for hot tools. I also have purchased the mini wisk to whip up my hair color and developer...it's life. Paying more than a $1 is Useless 🙃. Thanks for sharing.

[@SodiumFilledPondue]

Yes I bought a bunch of those for my salon. We all love them for mixing color.

[@hotmessmomtv4117]

I use my old bamboo skewers as paint stir sticks, for crafting, and all kinds of stuff! They're so cheap and usually come with so many in a package! But definitely prefer the metal ones for grilling 😂😂

[@denisebentick8172]

Thanks for sharing, the silicone pads and skewers were new to me. Thanks for showing them on the video. I had the measuring cups for a while now and they are fantastic.

[@rosalrosa5346]

[@HomeCentsWithNell]

I love the tip about using the silicon pot holder for hot tools! Thanks. And yes, the measurements on my old measuring cups would always rub off- not anymore!

[@lenanewton9766]

Hey! I'm in Philly too! Yes I know how "useless" our backyards are. Or front. I totally agree with you on the kitchen utensils. But don't buy the can openers! They work like 2 or 3 times and thats it! Love ya for keeping it real.

[@KindlySo]

I bought a pizza wheel cutter at the Dollar Tree and it is fabulous! Even has a blade guard. I did put a drop of super glue on the screw and nut, as I had another that fell apart, but it is a great tool to have.

[@rebeccazody1278]

[@annreeve9280]

To open jars, I use a small bottle opener. I has a magnet on it, so I just store it inside cabinet door hinge. When pull jar out, I just release jar lid and put opener back on hinge, shut the door and voila! Easy!!

[@cindywhelan7059]

I have everything that you showed in the video. Love them and it would be absolutely crazy and useless to buy any place other than Dollar Tree. 🥰

[@Naturalchic3]

I agree, the bamboo skewers can be hella *useless*. Many a marshmallow has been sacrificed to the flames because of those dinky sticks. My favorite DT gadgets are the "Take It To Go" reusable travel cups that come 2 in a pack. I use them for hot and cold drinks and they're great. Their ice cream scoop (mines is about 4 years old and still perfect) and those Betty Crocker scissors.

[@jamiefaith5905]

I have purchased the marshmallow roasting sticks several times they work great but I have had trouble with the handles coming off but to salvage your tool you can diy a wooden handle for replacement. Great video for first home items.

[@Sabrina79]

Paying top dollar for kitchen utensils is useless when you've got Dollar Tree! Sarah we get those same rubber grippers! My favorite thing, though, is the Betty Crocker black cooking spoon - which I like to say was the best dollar I ever spent! 😉 I've had it for years and it's indestructible!

[@caroynjohnson4535]

I’m so glad when you talk about items, you actually know what they are for and how else they can be used. I don’t need to hear any useless information. I hear enough of that at home . Lol. Thanks lv ya

[@D..._]

Thanks for your tips and good advice. If you ever use wooden skewers again soak them in water as long as you have time for. Soaking them is what keeps them from burning. One time I soaked mine over night with a smokey hickory seasoning to see if it would something to the food. I don't know if it did anything but it was a fun idea to try.

[@purrplerose30]

Loved your video! I feel so "useless" without some kind of dollar tree content or items each week. You make them more wonderful every time! Love you!

[@joanwalford1959]

Very informative video. A week ago I purchased the bowl and love it. Wish the material was a bit sturdier. Saw the skewers will puchase. Reason your wooden skewers may have burned is because you did not soak them long enough before using. Like the idea of using the plastic bottles for condiments. Keep posting these useful ideas as it will help others from buying stuff that is a waste of money. Love youtube videos they help a lot.

[@suzannesmith5064]

You can buy so many things from the dollar tree that is better than any other stores. From cooking pans to laundry soap. Even there sippy cups are great . thanks for your video . love them
