FYI: those mason jars that hold tea candles also hold the volatile candles. They are great for heating up water or keeping your mug of coffee hot! Yes, the wax does melt inside the bottom, but I use that extra wax to make more candles! Cardboard Toilet Paper holders make great candle molds! I usually twist 2 cotton strings together for wicks and they are very bright!

[@americafirst9144]

Great way to use old toilet rolls.

[@NoOneUKnow-c3y]

I bought one of those cotton string mop heads to use for candles wicks. At the time, I only paid 1.00 for the mop head, but now it would only be 1.25 and you would probably have hundreds of cotton wicks from just one. Great idea on using the toilet paper holders for molds.

How exactly would you use the tp rolls for candles? I gusee I'm not understanding it completely? Thank you

[@deltorres2100]

FYI-here in Houston,Tx…. I heard the clerk telling someone else at the store that the prices will be going up to $1.50 soon ,so it’s a really good time to stock up so may not have to go for a good while. I’m sure that’s what I’m gonna be doing on products that I buy constantly.

[@susieramick7202]

Thanks for the warning. $1.50 will really change our shopping trips. I've heard many DT reduced some products to $1but I've never seen that at our stores.

[@MittenPrepperVet]

Super Glue - I use a thumb tack to close it up and toss the original cap. Ain't NOBODY got time to get their fingers glued together right?! LOL

[@sherriebyrd3784]

Wonderful haul! The Himalayan salt has been harder to find at the DT’s around us. I always pick up A-1 ,cherry pie filling and pineapple every time we shop. Thanks always Jinnie!

[@americafirst9144]

Target has a good A-1 knockoff that is even cheaper.

[@chesterricherson3565]

Don't forget that wooden, spring type clothes pins are available right now, not expensive, may not be easy to find later, I have been buying some to share with people who may not have thought of them.

[@lindagranger6111]

I picked up a pack today. Love them

[@Bloodhoundjed1]

I have picked some up, to hopefully use, when my husband repairs my clothesline. We have everything for it, just need the time and the weather to cooperate.

[@gailoreilly1516]

Good idea!

[@JANICEK-wu4vq]

I was at my local $tree today. Bought canned fruits, matches, fish Taco seasoning, Apple juice boxes, bleach, disinfectant concentrate, chilli powder, lentils, gingerbread house kits, composition notebook to start keeping tract of my pantry inventory. Will be going to another location later in the week. Thanks for your $tree videos. I always see something you bought that I don't have and need!

Coffee filters between cast iron is a great idea. Thank you friend❤

my store does not have the jar candle holders... those are cool...those little stackable storage containers... I use for my gravy mixes and taco, chili. ranch dressing... anything in envelopes that wont stand, also the rice and sauce and noodles and sauce... I date the bb date and it allows you to put them in order of date so easier to rotate... thanks for the video... Deb from South Dakota

[@mellosings6180]

$1 Tree sells packs of 10 mason jar lid toppers for canning. Thought that was a great deal

[@supergg07]

I got some under the bed organizers like that but I unfortunately bought mine from Amazon and paid way more than that but they seem to be more durable I put all my extra toothbrushes floss, deodorant, and anything else I can think of that is for hygiene

[@maxibake9323]

The plastic shoe boxes, usually with Black lids are great to stack with labels on & toiletries or cleaning supplies in. Or they hold Packet mixes upright & tidy in your Pantry too.

[@tammymanuel9158]

I bought a couple of the under the bed blanket storage bags, filled it with blankets, went to pick it up and the one side ripped open. I was so mad, but what do expect for a $1.25? I would not put anything with any weight in them. My blankets were not that heavy, either. I wad bummed about it. 😔

[@TXJan0057]

The drop clothes can be used to line your tub to fill. During an emergency if your tub is real clean or if your drain doesn't hold tight you can line your tub and fill it with water.

[@dialdude]

Jinne, one of the best videos so far. Great selection, simple testimonials, great price too.

[@deltorres2100]

I also like that shelf stable milk I use for cooking, so nice it’s hard to fine. I’m gonna have to go back and stock up. Make sure the dates are long enough…

[@lindanelson4526]

I have several clear shower curtains that I thought I could use to cover a door or window. They are quite a bit heavier than the drop cloth. My store is really low on food, it almost seems that they are going in another direction with their stock.

[@chughes-lv3oe]

When my shower liner gets yucky, I replace it with a new one but I wash the old one (could be reused in the shower in a pinch) and save it for other things. They come clean and a few minutes on low heat in the dryer makes them soft and pliable.

[@gailoreilly1516]

I bought a clear curtain to line my bath tub to store water. I haven't tried it yet but planned on duct taping three sides using the fourth as a cover. Just a thought.

[@lindanelson4526]

Great idea. I pick them up at Dollar Tree when I see them. So many good uses.@@gailoreilly1516

[@grlnexdoorable]

Use a spray bottle of water to wet your windows, and that will hold a layer of bubble wrap. This lets light in and holds heat. Both Frank's hot sauce in Texas Pete hot sauce dehydrate beautifully.

[@comfortcreekranch4948]

Wonderful idea!

[@grlnexdoorable]

​@comfortcreekranch4948 which idea?

[@alyssacampbell1958]

The hot sauce being dehydrated. Canned items close to expiration date can be dehydrated as well to extend shelf life. Rain country has videos on dehydrating a lot of stuff.

[@nanaof6babies]

I'll be looking for those can organizers. Great haul Jinnie.❤

Hi Jinne! I love your grocery hauls! I went to the town an hour away today for picking up our repaired car and went to the grocery store over there for the first time. I'm making chili for canning and meatballs for canning either tonight or tomorrow. I might poop out tonight. I will be canning carrots over the next few days. Plus working on canning the apples. It can't last much longer.

[@danniemcdonald7675]

I keep thinking that I'm through canning for a while and then something pops up on sale! 😊 I canned meat sauce plus meatballs in broth over the weekend. Getting ready to go to the store and get a couple of rump roasts ($3.99/lb) to can. I may can a jar of stew to use up some potatoes and carrots.

[@suegeorge998]

@@danniemcdonald7675 that happens to me too, and I know it drives my husband crazy because he thinks that I do too much. I'm 65 and have health problems but as long as I can I'm going to can like crazy. The good deals at the grocery stores are becoming fewer and farther between. I take advantage of them when they are there though.

Hiya Jinnie, I have looked for the moisture absorbers and can never find them. And the jar tea light holders!

[@americafirst9144]

I can't remember which dept. they are in.

[@marcymoran6481]

I’m in Clearwater, Florida and found the tea light mason jars on the bottom shelf-only a few left, so I grabbed 2.(That was 2 Saturday’s ago) The moisture absorbers work great but are hit or miss!

[@jeanetteschulthe1andOnly]

A book I like is "Poverty Prepping: How to Stock Up for Tomorrow when you can't Afford to Eat Today" by Susan Gregersen. This is a simple personal finance budget/plan laid out. It is household money tips. She does the food budget first, small steps first, such as going to the store with a list of only needed items, should one of your items be on sale put the difference between the sales price and regular price in a "milk money" jar. (instant gratification) After a while, that savings will allow you to purchase items not on your list but it is a brand you use and it is on sale, you put this money aside too, either when you purchase or as you use the products. I got this book because I worked with low income folks, it sounded good. I also used methods close to these to get out of student debt. This is so simple, some people complain to the author. Some people have a knack for managing pers. money. This is a "in the wrist" item, you have it or you don't. Some of us were taught through the years as kids. For people who do not know, this can be a game changer. This book is 70 pages and large print.

[@heatherkenniston3780]

Moisture absorbers are great. They are on the list for next shopping trip! Still looking for the wound care kit.

[@kimstarr1559]

Great stock up !

[@joycedagostino8869]

Thanks Jinnie. We have a Grange that makes stocking and gift boxes for seniors in nursing homes or those who don't have family and asks for donations for Christmas and I always like to go to DT to get some of the scarves and gloves and other things that they have on their wish list like candy and the puzzle books. Wish our DT carries the headlamps, I don't think they have ever carried them but I keep looking! The sewing kits aren't the best quality, so I have found a similar size empty plastic box at DT and fill them with better quality thread, needles and so forth. They're handy for college students or anyone who needs a small kit but don't have space or need for lots of sewing supplies. I used the clear plastic drop cloths to put over garden beds in the early spring, they help "cook" any weeds that come up early and also help kill the weed seeds too.

[@gingerzelidon3573]

Great Budget Prepper Pantry Stock Up, Jinne! I love your idea of using a paper coffee filter with a few drops of essential oils as a dryer sheet, that's one of the best uses for those paper coffee filters, I've ever heard. I appreciate all that you share! Thank you!

[@laurievoelker9005]

You could also put coffee or sand ,something in the bottom of a used up sauce jar, any jar, to hold tea lights . Great video ❗

[@kmiller6002]

Im going to DT next week and im really hoping to find a lot of the things you mentioned... Ive got 3 stores locally... Might have to make a Day of it 😜😜 Thanks for sharing and for giving suggestions on other options for the uses of some of the products Jinnie 🤗🤗🙏 Kendra

Hold on to them if family goes to waterparks great for log rides last time we went one parka was$ 9.00! So glad I had my DT parkas. That was 5years ago can you imagine the price now. The shelves were really sparse. Thanks for a great haul.

[@darlakennedy8660]

Thanks again .love your helpfull viedos.

[@brendanelson1027]

What a nice haul, Jinne! You always find such useful items & have great skills in sharing multiple uses of many things! Our DT stores do not have a lot of the finds at your stores. I have looked in vain for the wound care kits.... but for the fall our stores had 21 piece first aid kits in nice little tins. The tins are about 3-4" square, just over an inch deep & have a couple of gauze pads, tape & different sizes band aids. I am creating my own wound care kits by adding more tape, gauze pads & a roll of gauze, alcohol wipes, a tube of triple antibiotic & a tiny pair of scissors. I will be gifting a tin for my friends to keep in their cars. And I love the coffee filters! I use mine for drying & separating different seeds. If I am in a rush I can just write what the seeds are from on the filter, then layer several seed laden filters into the oven to dry. When finished, I just fold each filter & pop in an envelope until next planting season. Will definitely be looking for the soda can organizers. We are redoing a small bedroom into our deep food pantry. Those can organizers would make life much easier. I was going to use foamboard to make the " first in first out" can organizers, but those DT ones would get me started. And I will be looking for the men's gloves, too. Thank you again for taking the time to share. Blessings from NW Florida.

[@Bloodhoundjed1]

I have only been able to find 2 of those wound kits here in TX and that was probably almost a year ago, when I found them. I keep looking for them. I did purchase two of those small first aid tins and gave one to my daughter. I never thought about putting seeds in the coffee filter a great idea, as usually I am using a plate, and paper towel. I do write on paper towel what my seeds are, while they are drying and then transfer them to a bag, after they have dried. We also turned a very small room into a walk in pantry.
