Dollar Tree

Being big bargain shoppers, my mother and I just can’t seem to pass up a dollar store without checking it out. We were heading back to Bakersfield from Arvin, and decided to drop in to this Dollar Tree to see what kind of bargains we could scare up.
Dollar Tree carries many household staples for the low low price of $ 1 each. I love to stock up on cleansers, many of them brand name, here. You can find everything you need to clean your house from the floorboards to the rafters, including sponges and scrubbers.
You can save a bundle on toiletries here, even on name brands like Crest and Colgate, when you buy toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, bubble bath, shower gel, bath salts, shampoo, body lotion, and more. You can even purchase over the counter medications such as Ibuprofen and antihistamines.
Being an elementary school teacher, I can always find things here to use in my classroom. There is actually a section geared toward teachers full of colorful sentence strips, mini pocket charts, bulletin board cutouts, colorful banners, and so much more. I find many items for my prize box here both in the toy section and in the party favors sections. You can also find many items in the office supply aisle such as pens and pencils, erasers, glue, and so much more.
Speaking of parties, if you’re planning on throwing one be sure to check the Dollar Store out first. You can find tablecloths, napkins, plates, cups, and cutlery in almost every color of the rainbow. Do you need balloons? You can pick the rubber ones up (25/​$ 1) or get the mylar ones filled with helium for $ 1 each. If you need to bring a gift, you can buy wrapping paper, ribbons, bows, gift bags, even greeting cards here on the cheap. With the money you save on the basics here, you’ll be able to afford more elsewhere.
If you’re decorating for the holidays, check out their large section devoted to seasonal merchandise for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter, and many more.
This Dollar Tree is in a tiny little strip mall on the West side of Main Street between Gail Marie Dr. and School Street with very limited parking.
