What you ACTUALLY should be BUYING at Dollar Tree

[@ButterflyElsy]

Reading to our children is so powerful; those books are helpful but it's YOU reading to him and teaching him that makes the impact! Keep it up, momma.

[@maltafirechild6273]

I learned this advice of reading to your kid in a very young age and my daughter loves to read that's why she wants to be an engineer.. or in my case the teacher came up to me and said they want to test my kid and find out she's gifted because I read to my kid in a very young age.. so every person I met that has a child always said read to them even if you're tired read to them..

[@ButterflyElsy]

@@maltafirechild6273 that’s amazing that your kiddo may be gifted! Reading to them is such a special time to share, too!

[@angelmerricle3049]

The items I tend to keep going back to Dollar tree for are: Greeting Cards; Gift Bags, bows, tissue paper, craft supplies, Party Supplies, foam plates, cleaning supplies, Seasonal home decor (I decorate for EVERY HOLIDAY). Also, boxed milk, quick oats, seasonings etc! I’m a huge dollar tree shopper since 2014. I became single in 2013 and dollar tree helped me economically. It’s one of mine, and my daughters favorite places! Loved this video! Thanks Bethany!

[@hendrickscopeland640]

Hi Angel, how are you doing?

[@caroli323]

I love the greeting cards. When my brother turned 70, I bought 70 cards and sent him one each day starting 70 years prior to his birthdate. It was so much fun to pick them out - there were NO repeated cards.

[@severenkoski856]

I LOVE this idea! For a friend's 40th I bought and wrapped 40s presents all from DT.

Thank you for doing so much price-comparison footwork for us - it really helps.

[@madelynmolina3945]

Cleaning supplies, crafting items (cannot be beat) and books are my favorite items at Dollar Tree.

[@UnderAPileOfScrap]

I agree with your list whole heartedly! I shop our DT quite regularly for tons of stuff. Interesting story: a friend had a co-worker that was getting married and my friend knew the relationship wouldn't last, and that the girl would leave & let the guy have everything. My friend wanted to buy them something useful, but not something nice that the ex would end up with in the end. I recommended DT kitchen items and she thought that was a great idea. So she bought them just about everything they needed (it was $1 at that time) and she was glad she did, because they split up a year later and yes, the girl let the guy have everything, so my friend was happy that she went that route.

[@amandahill7540]

Actually on the foam board, for the same piece u get from dollar tree I have paid over $3 for at Walmart. This was before dollar tree sold them. So the foam board really is a great price for what u get.

[@BargainBethany]

Yes so true Amanda! I showed a clip at Wal-Mart of their foamboard. It was $3. I will say it's sturdier but if you can get away with using something less sturdy, I'd go with the Dollar Tree foamboard! It's not like its flimsy just not as strong but does what you need it to for the most part!

[@mimi-422]

Love buying fresh new dish pans,and sometimes great cleaning products, Espically AWSOME!!

[@Cowboys_All_Day88]

Favorite item is the scrub pad with soap handle. The additional pads come in a pack of 2. It's THE perfect shower cleaner! Also plastic cups the ones that come In a 4 pack for $1.25. Nail polish the small ones that come in a 3 pack they go on smooth and have beautiful colors. The purse pack hair ties comes in handy, oh the 10 pack of disposable shower caps that's what we use at parties for covering up bowls, condiments like mayonnaise to keep the flies away. There's lots more but those are my staples.

[@kayeyeager8006]

Bowl covers, genius!

[@ShanMarie1974]

Love the crafters square section and school supplies/stickers!

[@Yrutnec1]

Thank you, little girl! Great video! I am a super supporter of DT and go every week for craft supplies. I hate that NC distribution is about 6 - 8 weeks behind and then it is limited quantities....but that still does not keep me away. The funny part of this video is when your husband was lifting you up to grab items! **** I applaud and appreciate you for NOT belittling Walmart (I LoVE that store and shop at least three times a week) What I find is that Walmart does carry a higher-end quality than DT....and when I hear KZbinrs 'trash' talk Walmart, I lose respect for their words. Your supporter from NC. 🌸🌸🌷🌷🌺🌺🌷🌷🌸🌸

[@lindsayfarley1595]

Fellow NC gal here! I didn’t know we were 6-8 weeks behind and I used to work at one! The workers definitely buy things up before they even hit the floor.

[@susanwhite3007]

I have to say I agree with all your pics! The reality is when you buy items the quality may be less than other stores, but your right, it gets the job done.

[@robindelgaudio211]

Picture frames & diamond wrap is my favorite things to buy at Dollar tree. I also love their coffee ☕ mugs

[@hendrickscopeland640]

Hi Robin, how are you doing?

[@cindytulip6716]

I buy a lot of the clear mats from the kitchen area, not only for the fridge, but so many other uses! My fav!

[@ezeatery]

I absolutely loved every second of this video. Loved how you showed similar products at Walmart and Hobby Lobby and their pricing. One of my favorite things are their kitchen shears and those (I call them to go containers), the foil ones with the lids. Agree with everything you mentioned. Again, great video!

[@WendyandBradPitt]

I agree. You can tell a lot of work went into making this video.

[@YourWorcesterGirl]

I love the foil containers with a lid too! I buy them for holidays so I don't end up with days worth of leftovers. That way the family/friends don't feel pressured to return them.

[@mandy82]

I swear by the dollar tree blue and white broom. I have had it 15+ yrs and 3 different houses/moves. Its still in great shape and we use it all the time!!!

[@teresasmith224]

Love the gift bags, party supplies, storage bins , craft items, hair supplies, more to many.

Hey there, I'm an American living in Canada for over 20 years now and I never appreciated my American stores as much as when I started really shopping here looking for things and not finding them. *this is at all types/kinds of stores, not just DT.* I have to say though I do like our Dollarama stores, but DT here is okay too.

My favorite item, cereal containers! They are so much more online and in other stores but they seal well and the quality is surprising. They arent as large as some other containers but you can buy more containers and still save a bunch.

[@janeindacochea6199]

I agree with you on all the items on your list. If I had to pick favorites, I can’t choose just one. My favorites include organizing, crafting, cleaning supplies, and of course cards, wrappings, and gift bags. Great video.

[@susanmcdonald5960]

My favorite things from Dollar Tree is the hand garden tools, pots, wildflower seeds, metal garden stakes, solar lights, coconut liners, basically I love their Spring garden items.

[@bonita1228]

Favorite item: the aluminum cookie sheets that come in a 2 pack. They are a bit thin but they make the best cookies. You can cook a crispy frozen pizza.

Hello beautiful genius! I do love their cards, gift wrap, party supplies, some craft and organization items, sometimes the quality of their material causes it to break easily, so I rather invest in a heavier/ better quality items. Their dishware and books are awesome for the price!! But you are right, not all DT are created equal, so you have to be really lucky to find everything! In all DT's. Give yourself some credit girl!

I was in DT one night and I was trying to reach something on the very top shelf and this man came by and asked, can I get that for you, LOL. Gotta luv our dollar tree community! As far as the sesame street books, I bought them for my boys when they were Coopers age and they loved them. I also read them a bedtime story every night and I will cherish that time with them. Now they are all grown up and they are great readers! Thanks for a wonderful video!

[@hendrickscopeland640]

Hello Cynthia, how are you doing?

[@greeneyedredhead61]

#1 item I buy at dollar tree is: the pre-cut aluminum foil sheets. I don't get the Reynolds wrap ones because they are smaller and you get less of them. They have another brand there and the sheets are larger and you get more of them. I use them for wrapping up breakfast burritos or tortilla wraps or sandwiches are basically anything that I might want to take in my lunch. I do my other things from Dollar tree but those are my number one go to item at Dollar tree. Other things I get that I find a great bargain are also as you said Bethany the greeting cards. Two for a dollar is really the way to go. I also get the generic form of Neosporin. And so so much more. I have stopped by and some things there because of the price increase but some of them are still worth buying.
