B&Q is what we should be calling it now. I'm telling ya! Let's go on down to the Buck and Quarter store!!! Who's with me on this?

[@DoItOnaDime]

😂🎉

[@brittanys.7191]

I heard someone call it the “Five Quarter Store” recently so I’ve been calling it that too lol. 😂

[@aggiesnyder179]

I’ve been saying that since they changed it

Thank you for constantly updating us on organizational hacks or money saving dupes. And if none of us have told YOU lately….you are enough. 😊

[@funkway]

I was in the market for a planner to plan out our finances - I was willing to shell out $20+ for a fancy one. And while I was in Dollar Tree, I saw their little 2-year pocket calendars. It was just what I was looking for! And perhaps also served as a lesson in finances ;) lol

[@KeiferElliott]

Thank you for showing us the item and keeping the commentary just the right length. Your content is excellent, your excitement/enthusiasm is contagious! And YOU are enough! XOXO.

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

So many people are grateful for the gift of you, and I’m here as one of them. You inspire me, ma'am, in great ways. May God continue to bless you and your family.

[@DoItOnaDime]

You are such a kind person Alma. Your continued support means so much!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@Do It On A Dime thank you, Kathryn. That's who I am outside of KZbin.

[@anubis1133]

"You are enough." These three words, that we don't tell ourselves enough, just made my day. Even though I have a bad day, your spirit is just uplifting and inspiring.

Amen to that! ❤

The dollar tree OXY clean is my favorite. Totally awesome

[@fk1432]

I'm new here and first I was into the diys and dollar store ideas but the mental health reasons is why I stayed. This is the only place in the world where I get to hear at the end of each day, that I am enough. Thank you ☺️❤️💖

[@zefcha4670]

just got home from dollar tree (2-8-2023) 8 people stocking aisles 2 registers open. got tissues, barbie clothes for christmas, packing tape, scotch tape and rolled wrapping paper.

[@shereness3235]

Dollar tree has a stronger version of the broom hangers in the garden section, they appear to be upgraded.

[@tamarAW515]

I’m in Canada and we have neither store but I watch because I love your ideas and mostly your energy and uplifting personality. Times are tough and you always manage to brighten my mood. Thank you for being you ❤

[@SheaMF]

We do have Dollar Tree in Canada; well in Western Canada we do. Prices went up from $1.25 to $1.50 when they went up in the US. Some items are still a $1.25 though. Now we don’t have as much food. Most of the US DT I went to (in Washington state and in NYC) had fresh food and a freezer section; we don’t have that in Canada. Also, in the past few years, I can’t find as much pharmacy stuff here in BC.

[@tamarAW515]

@@SheaMF Not here in Atlantic Canada 🙁

[@SheaMF]

@@tamarAW515 Too bad! I love Dollar Tree. Now I hit Dollarama too. And being originally from Québec where Dollarama started, I still patronize them. But I am careful about what I buy there cause some items are $5 nowadays. Of course, we also have a few other franchises of dollar stores and some independent ones. But I love love Dollar Tree! It’s actually in my instagram bio! And I go to a bunch of different ones around greater Vancouver (I live in BC). They don’t all have the same merch. I currently live between 2 Dollar Trees that are less than 1.5km from my home, and I often go to both. And they both have Dollarama across the street, so I go there too.

[@IdolEyes84]

I’m in Australia and we have “$2 shops” yet most items are more expensive than that. We have one called “Ten Tops” and some things are good for under $10 so things aren’t very well made. We have Target yet not the same range as American stores. There aren’t as many stores here at the moment.

[@Metqa]

I use the flexible cutting mats for my wire shelves. I bought hanging wire shelves from ALDI last year, and while my jars fit on it well, they rattle as they scrape over the wires. I cut the Flexible cutting mat to the inner dimention and use the shiny side up and now my jars glide into place and don't rattle and clink anymore. Also use in the wire basket that holds my onions, no onion skin raining down! LOL I also put them on top of the Dollar Tree shelf Risers. In my cabinet, i keep a lot of measuring cup volumes: 1 cup, 2 cup, 4 cup and the little ones that measure mL , ounces, Tablespoons, etc. . Same issue: the glass cups rattle on the shelf riser, but also my shelf is unfinished but I don't want to put contact paper down just yet. Using the flexible cutting mat, cut to the inside of the shelf floor and the size of the shelf riser, I can easily glide the cups in and out AND if the cups are a bit wet still from washing, it doesnt' ruin the shelf with a few drops of water.

[@bobbiewilliams5101]

Your uplifting positivity is matched only by your creative genius! Thank you for all of the wonderful ideas. I shop the store with a new perspective after watching you. Have a fabulous day and believe me…….YOU are a gift💕🙏

[@DoItOnaDime]

What a kind comment Bobbie. Thank you for being here ❤🥹

[@destrygraves]

Do the dollar tree pop up baskets fit in the cubby shelves? I’m a notebook junky and nobody has better ones. The one with the snap is a favorite. The composition books are a must if you are a list maker. One for each and so many decorated covers! The calendars that fold in half flat are awesome. Again one for each need: log for a pet, track your own health, one to keep with your bills (what is due when, when you mailed what), one as a follow up reminder for things you need to check on. The best part of your videos is always the end. You are enough. And today? You are more than enough! Oh, almost forgot the must have duck tape (I know it’s duct) from the automotive section. So many colors and patterns. The possibilities are endless.

[@avon1243]

I don’t watch all the videos that I have subscriptions to every day but I always watch Do It On a Dime! Good tips and the videos aren’t too long.

[@beth7126]

Your ideas are great! But your positive attitude is uplifting and contagious. I watch you for both reasons!

[@RitaCory]

Girllllll! I'm not trying to trick the algorithm. You truly rock! I always appreciate your content and delivery.

[@michaelad8686]

That laundry room idea blew my mind!🤯 Brilliant. Thanks for sharing your amazing creative ideas!

[@vladmira]

You make shopping at Dollar Tree more fun. I go on scavenger hunts at several Dollar Trees looking for these items.

[@AlishaZuniga1028]

Watching your videos lately really makes me wish there was a dollar tree with the $5 section near me 😢 I love those giant seasonal signs!🌷

[@rebeccahowie7234]

Don’t worry, it took a long time for my dollar tree to get the 5$ section too!! Mine slowly started getting random things for 5$. It’s still nothing amazing, just a few items; but I’m sure they’ll come soon for you too!!

[@sunflowers6172]

I can’t wait. So far it’s just the frozen food section

[@ashleyhackenberg]

You are such a ray of sunshiny positivity! So sweet and happy! Never change ❤

[@marycampbell6490]

You are definitely “more than enough” every day!!!! I enjoy every video of yours and learn something new with each video. Have a blessed day and week!

[@teubank7357]

Thank you for the idea of glue dots on the back of lightweight pictures. I have a family child care business and the kids are constantly knocking my pictures off of the wall. This will help so much!! I love all of your ideas and your spirit! You are such a blessing to so many. Keep shining your light!!

[@lesliewilson8909]

Thank you for taking the time to remind me every video that I am enough! We might not know one another but it still makes me feel good (& validated) hearing it from someone.

[@chasinglife43]

Oh my goodness! I just purchased a bunch of those lovely light green Dollar Tree organizers for my kitchen. They looked so pretty and springy, I thought a refresh was in order. Great minds..... 😉 I am so very happy to see your channel continue to grow and to see your success. You are so wonderful and lovely and kind. You deserve it all! Thank you so much for all that you do! ❤💖❤

[@traci4327]

Those chop mats are so useful. The speech pathologist at my school uses them for picture exchange communication boards. I found out they had run out of the ones they used to get and couldn't find them without a texture. So I directed them to Dollar Tree and now we will be able to help so many kids in our special needs school communicate.

[@carmenroche1631]

Love dollar tree but as you say, Target also has good finds. Thanks for everything

[@cyndifitzy]

Kathryn, I’m pretty certain you have just changed my LIFE with that hack cutting the broom holder to hold a rod! 🤯

[@liap1293]

I just love your creativity in repurposing all sorts of items.

[@michele8784]

Kathryn, did you see that Dollar Tree now has the broom organizers in black? No need to spray paint them anymore. YAY! ❤️

[@SheaMF]

At least in Canada, it looks like the black ones are in the garden section.

[@laurastory1853]

Tfs. I go to the Dollar Tree store more often now than I have ever before, I love all of the cheap bins that I was getting at Walmart. Plus our Dollar Tree has the new slim hangers that will create more space in your closet and things will not slide off. And I can get 30 for 5.00 and Walmart has them and they are 30 for 15.00. I really love my Dollar Tree. My only problem is that they sell false nails but not the glue and I really don't care for the makeup because they barely have any in the store. TFS.

[@traceywhite5612]

I wish your videos were longer. You are so bubbly and happy all the time! We all need this positivity! ❤

[@drskuter]

I've been waiting for this video drop all week! You made my day! Now, if you could only nudge Dollar Tree to open up Dollar Plus sections in So Cal stores, my life would be complete. Blessings to you, dear lady!

[@reesepieces9947]

You can buy the Plus items on their website now! You still have to buy a case sometimes of smaller items which isn't a great deal if you don't need that many but some things are still min qty of 1.

[@shannondriscoll6590]

Wish my local stores had the bonus section. The comparison between dt and target was a great deal and ideas thanks for all you do.

[@angied.6375]

My 2023 travel goals are to go to this lady’s DT and finally find all these cool items she shows us!

[@tiphanneycusick5396]

I have been watching your videos for quite awhile. Our forever tiny home is being delivered in March, so a lot of your storage hacks, tips and tricks will be used. I love your channel.

[@heyumitsallie5056]

I used the broom handle hack but I used them to hang curtains since I’m a renter and it’s PERFECT! since I can’t put holes in my wall it works so so well!

[@Mama_Sunflower]

I have been able to organize my small studio apartment for me, my husband, and 8 month old daughter with all the help from your videos! I love your videos and all the tips!

[@DoItOnaDime]

That is awesome!❤❤

[@lanikim]

The Dollar Tree rubber broom head is great for removing ‘stuff’ that gets stuck in microfiber towels. I brush down my microfiber down so all the debris doesn’t clog my washing machine and attract mold growth.

[@silviazaleta132]

You're videos ALL are great. I get simany ideas to organize drawers and under the sink. I would like to see more before and after video captions from clients/friends you've helped. You are truly an inspiration!❤

I wish I could get her to come organize my very small space! She's a beautiful lady! Wonderful personality!

[@Lilbitsartzycrafts]

I love the saving tips that you present, I just wish the dollar trees I go have the same items, it seems that they sell out of everything I need. I will check out my local target to see what the dollar section has. You are enough

[@networkdivalinda]

Check your local stores to see what day their trucks deliver. Wait a day then go shopping. If my D&Q ($ & quarter) store is going to get it, it will likely be there that day. Our local store is kind of little so there are a lot of great things I see in DIOAD videos that I never find here. 😉

[@SuperAMgal]

Thank you for letting us know about the🗒, post-it notes, & storage bins. Also, we have and love the lint brush you highlighted. Picks up fur so well. ~Just note that it could harm delicate material.

[@sew161]

I appreciate you I'm handicapped, I watch your videos and know exactly what I am looking for, I'm able to get what I want without hurting myself.

Great video Katherine. I haven't shopped at Target in years, so it's nice to see, I'm not missing anything. I shopped at a Dollar tree for the first time while visiting my hometown decades ago. I was told they were moving west so I waited, not so patiently. You are a delight to watch.

[@gypsywolf2061]

I always love your dollar tree hacks! One thing I’d like to try are those cute daisy bins to organize my apothecary herbs and essential oils. I legit have an apothecary and the jars are all in a large bookshelf, except the oils, with glass doors so u can see all the clutter. I might also try hanging some of the small bins for my tiny bottles. Thanks for the inspiration!

Do you have any photos, I too have an apothecary, that my husband built shelves all around one of our empty bedrooms, which is nice, but...

Another quick idea for your fresh sheets, sprinkle a little baby or bath powder on your fitted sheets. They feel like silk and smell good too.

[@AmysAttitude]

As someone with psoriasis, I could never do this! I also want to add that some years ago it was found that baby powder can and has caused cancer.

Yeah I love watching these videos seeing all the great fines at the dollar tree and in target dollar spot. Then I go in my local dollar trees multiple trees and don’t find any of the products. Then I go in target and I’m lucky if I find one or two of the products. I’m so glad you’re able to find all of these great finds. I sure wish I could sometime.

Thanks for the comparisons. I really don't shop at Target as much as I used to. They were always a little pricier than the Walmarts and Dollar Tree type stores, but I'm noticing the difference even more so. It seems like they see themselves as a boutique anymore.
