Dollar Tree

Yay for dollar stores that are ACTUALLY a dollar! Not 1.99, not 4.99, but literally, every single item in Dollar Tree is 99 cents! (but s*** it was 99 cents! yay mackelmore!).
This could be your plasticware headquarters – or your school supplies headquarters – or even your craft headquarters or teacher supply headquarters. Okay… maybe not headquarters per say, but the variety is HUGE and impressive and INEXPENSIVE. What more can you ask for? This location has a great selection of kid’s craft and craft supplies. I’ve seen mosaic sticker-​picture kits, yarn and beads, baskets, bible school themed items, ribbon, and more. In the school supply aisle you will find a section with teacher themed items. I once found an 8-​pack mini behavior/​incentive chart here that I will be using. Stickers galore here too, as well as banners, bulletin board decorations, flashcards, etc. Yesterday I saw packs of papermate pens. Can’t beat that!
The greeting card selection is also very nice. They have added a designer card section, called Forget Me Not. These cards are $.99 but well worth it, as they look like the more expensive ones you can get everywhere else. $ 4.99 for a birthday/​wedding/​graduation card? I think not.
As with any inexpensive store, there will be items that aren’t high-​quality. For instance, I wouldn’t buy toilet paper here or the faux flowers in the home goods section, or the body washes, but most everything else is pretty good quality and you can save money if you rack up here. As an avid Sam’s Club shopper, I buy all my freezer bags, sandwich bags, and snack bags here. Costs several dollars less than name brand and they still do the job. I’ll edit later with the name of the ones I get for any other bulk shoppers.
Please give this Dollar Tree a try. Peruse the entire store, you will find something worth purchasing that you can definitely use. Over the years I have become more and more impressed with the selection and variety of things you can buy (hardcover books, gardening supplies, frames, food, party supplies, gift supplies, note cards, toys, games, storage supplies). Yay for Dollar Tree!
