Dollar Tree

I came in looking for a gallon of bleach. I had a hard time finding it. I asked the cashier if she could get someone to help me locate it because she wasn’t sure if they had any… She telephoned help. The woman who came to help stood far back and asked me what I needed. Instead of yelling it over to her, I politely asked her if she would come near and she did. I then asked her if she had any bleach. She said she didn’t know, but if she did, it was in (pointing «somewhere) down there. I asked if she could please show me. She says, «IT’S RIGHT down there, under the detergent.» I couldn’t see the detergent so I asked again if she would please show me. She looked SO mad… sighing and stumping in front of me… I said «geese». She replied YEAH!!! She then stood in front of the bleach (which was no where nearby and I wouldn’t have seen it) with her hand on her hip, looking as if to say: HERE it is. She never said do you need anything else… She’s extremely unprofessional and ghetto. I asked for a manager and found out that she’s the manager. LOL!
Stephanie is extremely polite and professional. She should be the manager.

Lots of great party items in this store… all for just a buck! Colored plastic forks, table cloths, napkins and even serve-​ware! And they even sell helium balloons there… the foil kinds… for $ 1! I will need to come back here later this week to pick up a balloon bouquet for a birthday party I’m planning. Service was pretty slow though… one cashier with a line of about 10 people. Someone in line finally flagged down a lady who was tidying up a shelf to ask if they could open another register.

WORST dollar tree EVER. I rarely enter Dollar Trees for this reason but I called ahead to see if I could bring my dog in (a small, quiet Yorkie who sits in my arms). I went in with my dog and the lady at the front said no dogs to which I said I had called. She then said it was fine. Fast forward 15 minutes and an employee rudely came up to me and said dogs aren’t allowed. I informed her I was told TWICE it was ok. She said the manager said the dog needs to get out. The way we were approached was incredibly rude and I don’t recommend this place to anyone. Meanwhile there were badly behaved kids running around throwing things on the floor but my well-​behaved dog is an issue. Can’t really expect anymore from a Dollar Tree though. I’ll stick to my downtown dog-​friendly stores.

Great deals on basic products and it’s the closest Dollar Tree to my house so any time I’m going by on a Saturday or Sunday I’ll stop in for a $ 1 Tribune and often other supplies that I’m running low on. There’s quite a bit in here that’s substantially more than a dollar at other stores so the savings can really add up.

The absolute best place to take your kids. Two items for each of the three kids, and it costs less than $ 7, with tax included. A great place for party stuff as well, since that stuff gets used up and thrown right out. School supplies as well. Holiday decorations are awesome as well, we put up a whole bunch of Halloween stuff and it cost us less than 10 bucks. The food? Bleah.

Mother Mary of God thank you for the large parking lot that this store has and thank you that I found all the goodies I needed for the little crumb snatchers in my neighborhood. Every year we have a Fall Festival in my neighbor’s huge backyard, and it has grown to be quite an event. We rent a bounce-​house for the kids. We hire a Magician (usually the same one who performed at our annual block party), have all kinds of games for the little ones (from grabbing mini-​pumpkins with their little teeth to an art contest to a pumpkin carving contest). Instead of pin the tail on the donkey, we have pin the tail on the scarecrow and we get a REAL scarecrow (not a cardboard version of a scarecrow). This year we have a family contest which is «make your own scarecrow» contest. The winner will receive a $ 75 gift card for any «Lettuce Entertain You» restaurant.
We appreciated the wide aisles and how well organized all of the items were at this store. We found faux tattoos, brand name sweets and treats, glow-​in-​the dark bracelets and necklaces (which kids always enjoy) and some Fall decorations which is perfect for our Harvest Festival. We were amazed how many things we purchased for our $ 150 budget. We were glad we didn’t have to go to another store, and found everything here, from Fall decors to mini chocolates, such as, Kit-​Kat, Twix, Snickers, Twizzlers, Dots, Milky Ways, and so many other goodies. We even found a face-​painting kit here. The kit was probably meant to be used for Halloween, but we didn’t care. It met our needs. The little crumb snatchers love to have their little faces painted.
First, Second and Third Place winners are given ribbons and mini trophies (which we found here). This year I was elected to head up the games, prizes and goodie bags for the kids. This store is clean, well organized and definitely not dreggy. It’s a dollar store — there really isn’t much else to say about this joint, except that everything really costs one buck. I even purchased several cleansers for the kitchen and disinfectants for the washroom with my own cash. In addition, we even found some paper lanterns that work with Double «AA» batteries, which will be used for our Harvest Festival.
Everything here is on the low down cheap, cheap, cheap!

I guess I have become numb to the dollar store not being a dollar anymore. Recently on a trip here I noticed that there were no prices, so I found someone who worked here and I asked, «How much is this item?» And she said, «A Buck! In fact, everything in the store is a buck or under!» What are you kidding me? Every other dollar store now charges more then a buck for anything. Dollar Tree you are my one and only Dollar store from this point on… unless I am in an emergency and I need something from a closer dollar store.
Yes everything was a dollar in here. As I walked around, there were no prices anywhere. A store with no prices because everything is a Buck. How can you go wrong with that? Maybe I should do my Christmas shopping here? Okay I probably will not do that but I can surely pick up some great stocking stuffers for the family. Dollar Tree I think I love you!
This location is great because they have a big parking lot. Not only is everything a buck but the parking is free. Take that LAZ with your inflated parking rates! LAZ should be a dollar and hour… that seems far but it is not going to happen ever in my lifetime.
The store was well organized and there were lots of things to choose from. There was food but I did not go over to that side of the store. I was looking for some props for my child’s upcoming school presentation and I was able to score everything that I needed. I also was able to pick up a bunch of art supplies. Who doesn’t need a glitter marker? I really don’t but to get 10 for a buck is a great deal. Walmart can not even beat that price.
My only issue was that they did not take Mastercard. Who does not take Mastercard? I have never heard of that. They would take Visa but not the MC! I am very confused. I thought at the end of the day those two cards were the same. Luckily they are not one of those stores that only takes Discover or I would have been in real trouble.
So if you are looking to pick up a bunch of stuff for only a buck, then stop in here. The staff was extremely helpful with great energy. They answered all of my questions even though they were busy setting up selves for the upcoming holiday. I felt like I was annoying them but they did not seem to mind the two times I approached them with questions. Three cheers for Dollar Tree!!!

I love the dollar store. I love that I can stock up on many household items for buck! I don’t like how narrow the aisles are and how long you have to wait to checkout (there is always only one line open, why?). But those things will not deter from shopping there.

Everything’s a dollar! Yay!
Okay…judge all you want, but I actually buy groceries here. Yep.
They often get close-​outs of brand name items and I save tons! Keebler Graham Crackers, SmartOnes frozen products, Gatorade, Kellog’s items, and the list goes on! The surprises that show up on these shelves never fail to amaze me!
Their normal product lines are great too. They have quite a variety of spices, Malt-​O-​Meal brand cereals, great cleaning products, plastic food containers, car air fresheners, toothpaste, antiseptic mouthwash, movie candy, party supplies (cups, plates, napkins, etc.). Uhhh, I could keep going, but I think you get the idea.
We’re all trying to save a few bucks these days and DT does it’s job!
Whenever I need something quick, and don’t feel like heading to the nearby Jewel, Dollar Tree always gets the job done.
BONUS: HUUUUUGE parking lot.

I think if i had a billion dollars I would still shop at Dollar Stores. I’ve tried everything they sell:
Fake shick quatro razors… check. Not bad either.
Shaving cream is the same if you like generic.
Toothpaste is name brand.
Cleaning products are good. (probably the best deal there)
Cola…probably the same but not really a good savings.
Deodorant not good.
Frozen food… haven’t tried cause i don’t like frozen food.
Pretzels good.
Stupid bags to put stupid gifts in… are good if you are a female, dumb for guys.
Candy…oh my good is so cheap and good and smaller portions, which helps sugar junkies like me.
Could go on… Really a nice addition to the shopping center that includes a Post office, a defunct all you can eat Chinese place, a liquor store, and the opportunity for a haircut along with a few other place like a Baskin Robbins. Do yourself a favor for a most magical shopping experience.

I once ran into an old boss of mine shopping for God knows what here. What this means is that if you do not retain John H as an employee, you will probably end up shopping for essentials at Dollar Tree.
I was just looking for some horn-​rimmed glasses for my Colonel Sanders costume, so I’m exempt. I also picked up an ovulation predictor kit that I’ve been meaning to place in a friend’s sock drawer for quite some time now.

Sigh. I find these dollar stores so depressing.
They take me back to the days of being a small child and my mom taking me against my will to hunt antiques and random tchotchke at rummage/​yard sales (my mom being less smooth than her American suburban mom counterparts called them garage sales). Anyway, I hated going and by the time we hit up garage #4, I’d protest by locking myself in the car and sulking.
End rant. So these days I do actually exit the car when in front of the Dollar Tree, but my shopping excursion is usually more sprint than spree. On this particular trip, I found balloon weights, watermelon-​hued containers good for containing… stuff, markers, clipboards, ribbon, tape (3 for a dolla, holla!) and other party essentials. Would I shop here for kitchen wares, personal toiletries or make-​up? Gosh, no… but they do have a ton of useful items in addition to the utterly useless.
So what’s so depressing? The freezer section along the back wall. All the frozen entrees that no one else wanted, methinks. I haven’t used a microwave since Nov. 2009 and I almost felt a pang of guilt looking at these displaced orphans… but not so badly that I took one home. Sorry, guys!

This Saturday, $ 8 and change at the Dollar Tree bought:
–Two air fresheners for my car
–Aluminum foil, name brand at that
–Plastic zipper baggies
–Plastic wrap
–Two books for my 1 ½ year old niece
–Beef jerky (I was hungry)
Sadly, when sending my niece’s Easter gift home at the post office next door I left the books on the counter. No worries, though; for A DOLLAR, I can buy her another set. I could probably even buy the whole rack!
Everything here is actually $ 1. That’s right. Gift bags? Yep. A substantial assortment of household cleaning products for your Spring Cleaning mission? Totally. Throwing a party but need paper goods and favors? Stop in. Tools and flashlights? You got it. Want to decorate your house for the season? Martha Stewart away. Heck, you can even do some of your grocery shopping here. Bonus is that some items are 2 for $ 1, or even 3 for $ 1. Dangerous, yetthrifty! It’s like the IKEA for knick-​knacks — you’ll find yourself buying things you don’t need just because you can!
They have a huge parking lot as well so you can easily park your car and bring home half the store with you.
They do take major credit cards (including AMEX and Discover) and the cashier was super friendly upon checkout.

Warning: Must exercise restraint upon entering Dollar Tree.
Yessir. I almost bought three Christmas platters today. They were adorably cute, you see (one snowman, one Santa, one reindeer) and ONLY $ 1. Then I remembered I would NEVER use them and let that dream die. Back to reality…
Big draws here?
+GIFT BAGS: Seriously. I’m tired of paying a billion dollars for one gift bag, so I come here to stock up. They actually have a great selection of Christmas bags, wrapping paper, bows, boxes, tins, etc. I also grabbed a pack of 25 cellophane gift bags (complete with gingerbread men print) for a mere $ 1. (Perfect for wrapping lil gifts for the co-​workers!)
+PARTY STUFF: Cutely decorated plates, utensils, napkins, tablecloths, balloons and other random party décor. For a friend’s bachelorette party, we practically bought all the decorations here AND creatively improvised with other random items in the store. This is def a cheaper option than Party City and Card and Party Outlet.
+ETC: Cleaning supplies, lint rollers, USB cables, hair ties (the GOOD kind), pens, pencils, and zip lock baggies. Random assortment, indeed.
+Visa/​MC accepted, hollerz!

What is up with all dollar stores smelling the same? I dunno, maybe I’m a weirdo but don’t they all smell like some odd combo of plastic and floor cleaner? I notice these things…
So anyways — this is a surprisingly nice dollar store. All the holiday décor you’ll ever need and you won’t blow your entire paycheck (that only tends to happen at Target). I would highly advise coming here over a party store for all types of paper goods needed for any type of party, holiday or otherwise. Tons of random off brand cleaning supplies. And, EVERYTHING is actually ONE DOLLAR, which is not true at most other stupid dollar stores these days.
I was in line, and a cashier looked right at me and turned her light off with no explanation/​apology/​anything and just walked away, so that was slightly appalling. However, I obviously just moved over to the next register… so, not exactly any harm done, but still…
Store is in a large plaza on Ashland, so don’t fret about parking… the lot is huge.

I like this place. It’s a bit smaller than others but loads of good junk for $ 1! Today I was on a mission for rocks for my newly purchased fish bowl and I found them! Thanks DT.
I always come here with an agenda for one or five things and leave with 12. Good thing everythings a DOLLAR!
I found super cute hair bows… even though I should keep that to myself.

This place is AMAZING! They have brand names that you would find in Target or Jewel but everything, every single item is $ 1!
It’s truly incredible. Every time I come here my mind is blown
They have bath and body products, huge packages of party plastic ware as well as paper plates, gift wrap, toys, groceries (butter, cheese, frozen dinners ect), aluminum foil, plastic wrap and today I got 2 rubber made take-​away containers for a dollar!!!
I also noticed that they are now carrying pregnancy tests, which seems kind of sketchy to me, but you have to respect the immense range of merchandise at this store!

This is one of those dollar stores where everything is actually, ONE DOLLAR. Hence the name, Dollar Tree. They should call it ONE DOLLAR TREE. Anyway…
Pros:
*Lots of crap for $ 1.
*Big parking lot.
*Right next to the Post Office, Liquor Store and King Buffet. (for all of your buying, mailing boozing, and eating needs, I s’pose)
*Wasabi cashews!
*Cheap décor if you are throwing a party! (or decorating a tree)
*Cheap plasticware. (cups, plates, etc)
*More fake flowers than you can shake a fist at.
Cons:
*Lots of crap that is like, $ 2 or $ 5…won’t be found here (packages of paper towel, better cleaning products and the like).
*They don’t take Mastercard. (what!?)
The gist: If you are throwing a party and need a lot of stuff you’ll maybe use ONCE, why overpay for it? Take a trip to the Dollar Tree and see what you can make happen with a skinny, itty bitty budget. It’s kind of fun :)

DT, I’m not sure why I didn’t give you 5 stars right out of the box. For that I apologize, but I’ve seen the error of my ways and I’m righting my wrong.
Woo-​hoo! I just got back from the DT and I’m riding high on the buzz from all of the stuff I got for such a steal! For $ 14 and change I got:
* 2 plastic pitchers for a party I’m having
* 16 16oz solo cups
* 20 plastic/​disposable cocktail glasses
* 1 plastic table cloth
* 2 silicone spatulas — just like the pricey Crate and Barrel ones, which are good to 410 degrees
* cork screw/​bottle opener combo
* 220 plastic straws
* A disposable aluminum cake pan
* A plastic party tray with little areas for dips, chips, etc.
* A terry cloth headband (don’t ask, it was an impulse item)
If you haven’t been here you have to check it out. Sure there will be some brands you don’t recognize, but there are tons of name brands too. And the candy my friend, if you have any sort of a sweet tooth watch out because it’s all just $ 1.
Bottom line: this place is awesome, don’t take my word for it, check out Brett G’s review — I’ve turned her into a believer.
