Dollar Tree

So as far as dollar stores go, this one is pretty great. You can let them know that you’d like to order things from them in bulk, like kitchen towels or baloons. Or as you know, buy items single like soap dishes or jars.
When you’re on a budget, where do you go? Dollar stores. What do you eat? Ramen. BAM twofer! Get lots of ramen for unsettlingly low prices (why is it so cheap, what’s wrong with it) lol.
The customer service is OK, nothing that screams make this a 5 star review. And it leans towards the messy side. But like I said, you can buy bulk, get candle holders, buy children’s art supplies, get random cheap books, dirt cheap sunglasses or since we’re rolling into fall– scarves.
I recommend coming in for decorations, holiday related or not, great deals on food items (be wary of dates) and fun little gift bag stuff/​stalking suffers like scented liquid hand wash or seemingly unique imported chocolates ;)
Four stars for consistently well stocked shelves and selection, minus one star for messiness and mediocre service.

So… I’ve worked at a Dollar Tree for 4 years. This one is the worst one I’ve seen. It is NEVER clean. The people who work there have personalities like… rocks. Everything, every isle just constantly looks like a train wreck. There are always people stocking shelves and i’m always like… do you ever even bother to pick up the Isle a bit… the location of the store is really convenient. I love walking down here on nice days to get a popsicle or something. That is where the two stars comes from.
Also behind the first register there are always bags and bags of bottles… idk what that is about…

Great crappy batteries, lighters, napkins, duct tape, and those little things that you need.

I’ve been in this store several times over the last year and each time I visit I’ve received excellent customer service.
The store is clean and the checkers have been friendly.
The only complaint I have is that there are often pan handlers at the entrance harassing you for money.

I’ve always been OK with Dollar Tree and always will be. Like I said today in my check-​in comment, Dollar Tree is a great place to get replacement gloves, hats, and scarves if you lose any of them (which we all do during the winter). I also like it for cards and sometimes gift bags. Cleaning products are the real big bargain here. I don’t see why anybody should have to pay crazy grocery store prices for these items. Some of their Christmas decorations are tasteful and I look forward to have a few around the house to supplement what I already have on hand.
Just like any store (including Costco) I think you need to know your products and their cost at other stores and still be a smart shopper. It will soon become apparent what’s good and bad to buy.
I have found the employees here to be friendly and professional. If I have a problem, it’s easily solved. The parking lot is huge, I have to say, and it is convenient to Grocery Bargain Outlet just across the street to pick up products that I don’t want to buy at Dollar Store.
Dollar Tree is a great place to have in your shopping arsenal. Take your shopping bag along because you’ll want to fill it up (it’s kind of intoxicating to find things for a dollar — reminds me of being turned loose in a store after getting allowance when I was a child). Shop and enjoy, I say!

I don’t have a bad thing to say about Dollar Tree — this or any other one. Things that you can get for a buck at dollar tree that are super awesome or save your life: cleaning products for a house of people, that oxi-​clean shit, big wine glasses, tooth picky things, sugar free candy (sometimes), sherbert in summer, texas toast, potstickers from a local maker, cheat glasses and the beaded holders!
What more need I say. Negatives — none really, except don’t get too used to anything. I used to like the sugar free candies they sell but now they suck and I have to plunk down the $ 3 at Freddies. And also — if you go in to buy 3 items, you will leave with 9. The rule of 3X applies at all dollar stored. The St Johns store is smaller than others — but just fine as is.
The parking lot is pretty large — but somehow seems to never have anything open near the door. Who all is parking there?

The number above is for some bulk order thing.
This is the number of the actual store on N Lombard: 503−240−0647

What a mess…
That parking lot!
The disgruntled, yet somehow snobby employees.
Once you get through these travesties, you realize all there is to buy is plastic garbage made in China.
I don’t see the point.

I love the Dollar Tree, and now AT LAST the mothership has landed one its pods up in the hood! The Grand Opening has finally come for this half of the long-​time former Honda store (the other half across the street of course is now a Grocery Outlet).
Sadly, this is NOT one of the Dollar Trees with the huge, vertical Marquee signs outside, like the one @ Lloyd Center. Aren’t those a SCREAM? Something tells me they went slightly over-​budget (and off-​theme) and broke their own rule («Everything here is a dollar!») with them bad boys. Fortunately, the cooler, wiser heads prevailed for the store up in No Po. The last thing folks want other people thinking is that we’re all like Ostentatious, and just love to flash our ice, etc etc. … ;p
Bonus points for those of you in this hood long enough to remember the 88 cent store in downtown St. John’s (right by where Thai Cottage is these days). I’d say even adjusted for inflation, having a dollar tree take the place of the 88 cent store is an awful good deal. Yes, there are mountains of useless crap… just thinking of all that cheap junk food, all of it with megatons of cheap, easy carbs makes my head hurt and my tummy just a little queasy. Yuck. But there are still some great deals to be had! LIke that creepy, cheesy sleazeball media whore kept saying on «Robo-​Cop», «I’ll buy THAT for a dollar!»…
At the very end of this memorable scene…
