MASSIVE CHANGES HAPPENING AT DOLLAR TREE!!! - This Is Ridiculous

[@teresawort9124]

Thanks Danno !... Dollar Tree isn't Dollar Tree anymore.

[@debkirk1933]

They should put all the $5 and $3 in their own isle

[@barbarafallin2038]

Our Dollar tree has everything in separate isles ,and big signs up

[@ravynwynter9526]

I don’t know how to feel about it all except overwhelmed. It’s basically five below and family dollar now.

[@toniasmith82]

In my opinion I feel as if Dollar Tree is becoming more like Dollar General.

Part of the adventure for me was seeing what I found at the DOLLAR store. Then it became the Five Quarter Store, and now it's just a store I'm probably not going to go visit anymore.

[@MelodyBosh]

More and more Dollar Tree is becoming like Dollar General and Family Dollar. Dollar Tree is not the cheapest any more.

[@pinschrunner]

I would rather the more expensive items NOT be co-mingled in the same aisles as the normal $1.25 items. Inevitably I make mistakes despite checking shelves

[@AdventureswithDanno]

Agreed

[@Mack-c6i]

Me too ✋️

[@deborahlewis656]

That's it for me and dollar tree, the reason I liked it was because you knew everything was one price, hated the mess and hodgepodge prices at family dollar....fast forward to now; basically just family dollar😢

[@Vanasse1]

I agree. It was so easy and convenient with everything being the same price. That’s what set it apart from other stores. Then, of course, they ruined it.

[@dianekelly4597]

​@@Vanasse1Inflation ruined it. Dollar Tree had to raise their prices to survive. Blame Biden/Harris economy.

[@Sun.ce.214]

I agree as well. The entire point was that everything was a dollar. It may not have always been the best quality but at least you knew it was cheap. The only thing I get from dollar tree nowadays are dish scrubbers, my purple crest toothpaste and maybe a dish rag

[@Susan-tk4hw]

I agree with you about the 5 dollar items being put in a separate area😮

I think that DT is going to price themselves out of business if they keep going this route.

[@danniemcdonald7675]

Or they will have to change their name. But, then again, you still have Family Dollar and Dollar General.

[@sjrogers7498]

It's just a matter of time before there's only one $1.25 isle, just like the Dollar General has one $1.00 isle. I do not like that the prices are all mixed together.

I can't afford a pet anymore and all my life I've had 2 cats at a time. My kitty's passes away at ripe old ages and were happy kitty's at that and I was with each one of them at their time of passing, my voice was the last voice they heard, not the doctors. Thank you Danno, for starting off with cat food, it brought back fond memories.

Rescues provide food and vet care for foster parents. Just something for you to consider because then you provide, love, affection, service and training but not costs. We always need foster parents in order to pull animals from death

Same, although I still feed those who come to my backyard I don't keep them. They are likely to be long term lost, abandoned or feral because they aren't close to humans and they enjoy their outdoor time. Lots of cats are abandoned here after co. They don't mind me feeding them and sunbathing with me tho, just not my family members nor my neighbours. When I asked for help from a charity (I'm financially struggling as well) I got rejected. They told me they aren't feeding stray or feral unless I catch them and send them to their charity. So I decided not to reply to them and I received an angry message from them saying I have to bring them to them. Their shelter is full anyway, God knows what they're going to do with them if I did.

You're very welcome!

[@riderofthewhitehorse]

I agree with you that once upon a time it was a great convenience to know exactly how much things cost inside dollar tree. Whether it was $1 each or $1.25 each, at least you could add it up and get a rough total. Not anymore, it's a guessing game with now more stuff left behind at the register.

[@bittylovin7973]

Love the goofy socks at Dollar tree. My son has some Ramen socks lol

[@JohnPotts-kq7kk]

Agree, I love the goofy socks also & have bought several pair!

[@ellenfr3100]

I buy all kinds of grocery items at my local Dollar Tree. Now, if you shop there, please check out their selection of shampoo and body washes. They cost $1.25 to $3 each. I usually buy the $1.25 ones. The scents and the quality of the body washes are great, and the matching shampoos are also fantastic. My hair is so shiny and beautiful. Both are better than the high priced items found in other stores. The boxes of store brand tissues are another great buy.

[@maryannwagner6192]

I preferred when all the higher priced items was on the plus isle. Now you have to be careful what you pick up because what you think is $1.25 may be higher priced. I don't like it like that 😢

[@odiecap62]

I went to dollar tree yesterday, here in AZ., and I was shocked at how the prices were so high on the same items that used to be $1.25 😮😢

[@maggiegarber246]

They’re just moving things over from Family Dollar, aren’t they? The Dollar Tree in my small home town has FD on its signage; it’s a duo!

[@SirReptitious]

For those who buy the cheaper dry foods like Meow Mix and Friskies... As Dan noted, the Meow Mix 3.15lb bag is $6, which is about 20 to 40 cents less than most grocery stores. And the 6.3lb bags are $12.xx. So both are $2/lb. The grocery store I go to used to have the 6.3lb ones BOGO every so often. But then I checked walmart and saw that they sold the 30lb bags of Meow Mix for $29.xx, so just under $1/lb. I kept the last 5 6.3lb bags from when I bought them BOGO and just refill those bags with a 30lb bag. I use chip bag clips to keep them closed and fresh. I feed 4 stray cats, so one 30lb bag lasts a pretty long time, but I still keep 2 or 3 on hand in case a shortage happens in my area...

[@paulawinstead5660]

Just priced the Meow Mix at Kroger this Am. $6.79(3.15 lbs). Found the Friskies bagged food for $5.79(3.15 lbs). I bought the Friskies instead.

[@williammckinley1035]

I believe a lot of Family Dollar stores that are closing are being converted to Dollar General stores. But I bet next year, they will start combing a lot of the Family Dollar and Dollar Tree stores into one. I've seen several places that have done that already.

It's no longer the Dollar Tree it's just a Dollar General/Family Dollar Store with a different name. Don't assume what you picked is a $1.25 because you will realize at check out your bill grew 3X times what you were planning on paying or have the funds for. They should rename the store to: The Dollar Tree Mystery Store, you figure out the price.

[@hummingbird7713]

DT's CEO said that higher priced items would be mixed in with $1.25 items. We're going to have to check the price of each item we want to buy instead of just grabbing them from the shelves. A while back, I saw Folgers containers displayed on a shelf between glassware. I thought to myself, DT is selling Folgers for $1.25? Then I looked at the shelf tag and it said $5.

[@dianeshover1465]

It’s just a marketing tool for DT to make HIGHER profits. Be a SMART consumer👍👍

Our Dollar Tree has certain tooth paste for $5.00. The other day I found gift items for $10 & $15.00.

Dollar Tree near Tacoma WA was looking VERY sparse. I grabbed a couple of Christmas decorations, and I always get greeting cards and gift bags there. I did notice a few of the $3 and $5 items.

[@SuziGalaxy2024]

You have to be careful because Walmart has many of those canned goods cheaper. For example canned corn I just bought for $.50 a can. Some prices are better here though. I ignore the more expensive items.

[@cactusflower2]

I liked it better when everything was a dollar. I shopped there more often. Since it went to $1.25, I try to check out other stores $1 spots. I wish they would keep some items as $1. But I still shop there.

[@AnitaLonski]

Dollar tree has gotten greedy like everybody else. Thanks Danno for the info

[@AmyBeckelhymer]

Krogers has the same size Folgers priced at $7.49. The dollar tree price of $5.00 is a good buy.

What would be the problem! If you get bargains go for it. They are offering other things that are a bargain but can't offer for 1.25. I read the shelf label at my grocery store .

I have never seen you mention the "Nutastic", the Nutella-type spread. It has healthier ingredients and is very good. It is also made in Italy. The marble pound cakes are not great but far from terrible. They are shelf-stable and can be served with fruit, preserves and whipped cream, ice cream or whatever, so I have one on hand. You never know when you need a quick dessert. I am not happy withthe mix, like you said, unless they use stickers.

[@eveny119]

Part of the problem was the sizes of things like in the food aisle, were getting smaller and smaller A 12 oz bag of candy became a 10 oz than a 6 oz. Spices came in big containers, then they got smaller and smaller and some werent being restocked. So they raised the prices and brought in the higher priced items. But the cheapest of items never should of gone up, like notebooks, you can pick up for 25c in Sept is 1.25 and.never on sale. The confusion all the different pricing causes is overwhelming, I dont think they have sales and even after a holiday, they just remove the items (food they may discount). A better system would be to have $1.25 items on the bottom 2 shelves not next to each other. And to run sales on the other items once in a while. Ive only gone twice since the price change and they werent carrying what I wanted, or the item was much smaller. Their web site is a great tool for making a list but I find that my store and my shipping address can't get may items I would have bought. The second time I was there the store had only 4-6 shoppers. And I hadnt bought anything over 1.25

[@vanessagaines5940]

The boxed milk is a great value at dt

[@debbellable]

Prices at dollar tree are becoming confusing because the $1.25 products are mixed with higher price products. Maybe if they could separate them by location it might be easier.

[@acrazydayandelliemay]

Being I recently worked there, I can tell you most employees don't take pride in putting things where they go. Dollar tree doesn't pay their employees very much and expects a lot. They even now took away the bells at the front counter. Yet still expect you to run a register all while putting out 28 boxes an hour. Then customers get mad cuz the cashier doesn't know they are there. They basically have you running around like a chicken with your head cut off. Our store manager was told she would have 2 full time managers along with 2 part time. Then was told oh no you only get 1 full time and 2 part time. So when shopping there, I would keep my expectations low. The company basically keeps all stores under staffed on purpose. I worked as a manager for several weeks without ever getting a pay increase and was expected to open and close but they never gave me keys yet. So the store manager would come unlock in the morning and lock up before the store closed. I still shop there, but I'm just saying don't expect much. And yes they are starting to put stickers on everything as people are getting confused. I would say before the end of next year everything will probably have one. I would say the one exception would probably be the vendor items. Such as name brand soda and drinks owned by Pepsi and coke and any chips that are name brand. Frito lay being the main one.

[@ElegantlyYours]

The price increases aren’t worth the trip anymore imho. I can get the same thing for only a few cents more at Walmart. As for the seasonal stuff, I did get the ornament picks for $1.25 but if those prices go up as well, I might as well shop where I had before DT. Now they’re just becoming another Family Dollar/Dollar General. Seems like it’s just a matter of time.

[@penniephillipp936]

The more options the better

[@lon_dawg]

The bread and bagles are always expired by a week at the Dollar Tree in my neighborhood 🙄

[@staceyanderson3723]

Seems to me it would cost less to mark everything over 1.25 and not mark those that are 1.25. It is important to remember to check the quantity of things over $1.25. Some things are a good bargain if you research other places. I do that in store before I purchase over the 1.25.

[@jenallen5202]

I am happy pet stuff is there but most of it is pricey. My DT no longer had their bread . Not paying 3 bucks for a loaf even as a name brand. Also they had canned turkey for a deal 2.50 for two is better rhan 4 17 at walmart . Im in central FL.

[@tophorn7348]

Thanks for this video. The mixing of the different products & prices will be $🌳's undoing. Nobody will want to go to the "Guess the Dollar Amt" store anymore. It seems a pointless waste to close Family Dollar stores, but turn a working franchise into another which they're closing up. Does that make sense??🤔🧐🤨😤 Anyways, there was a pole-mounted electric price checker (like they USED TO HAVE at Walmart, but took'm all down) at the soap aisle (@ 19:18), but you didn't mention it. Who knows if it would work, or show the correct price. If Walmart couldn't keep them updated, why should $🌳 be expected to be any different? I used to love going to $🌳, but I blv its time is up. Unless it goes back to the old "Only A Dollar!" slogan/format, folks will become disenchanted & refuse to frequent the stores anymores.😒

It's crazy! It's going to be so confusing and we go to Dollar Tree for dollar items. This is just like Family Dollar or Dollar General. DO NOT LIKE IT! Some enterprising person should open a new Dollar Store. I love that Dollar Tree has more variety and better quality items with the $1.25 prices, but all these other prices are absolutely crazy, and have now gone to Dollar General and Family Dollar for some of the same items for less because they will only charge $1.00. They are about to lose this faithful shopper I fear. Also, I'm really tired of going into the store and leaving early every time due to none of them running their air conditioners and in the south the stores get too warm to be in with no air circulating, so our shopping is always cut short. Yes, would love to see a Christmas video, Danno!
