I love Dollar Tree!!! I buy my sunglasses there too-I refuse to spend money on something like that. Other things I buy there: school supplies, kitchen utensils, certain snacks, greeting cards, and party items. My biggest bang for my buck is the silk flowers. I decorate seven family graves with seasonal flowers and it gets quite expensive. Dollar tree flowers hold up nicely in all kinds of weather and they’re so much cheaper than Walmart.

Super savings Steve. I think with items such as washing up liquid and Sharpie, you are paying for the "brand". Sometimes, they are better, but a lot of the time they aren't. Oh and some of these big name companies actually make "own brand" products for different places. It apparently happened here, when someone bought a multi pack of crisps (potato chips) from Aldi and it had a packet of the big brand equivalent inside. So it just goes to show you how much of a price hike is put onto things. it's actually scary right now the prices of things with absolutely no obvious justification for it. Happy shopping at the other Dollar Trees 😊

I like the Dollar Tree the best. Yes, you can save quite a bit. Sundries are also a good deal, I would go and pick up allergy meds, ibprofen, they are not the full size but at $1.25 a pop, it's a good savings. I don't like their cleaning products but I do know people who love them. I will buy their name brand cleaning products but they don't always have them. Craft supplies are a great savings and since I they started selling cards, I only buy them at Dollar Tree. There are KZitem video's out there on what are the best and worst things to purchase at Dollar Tree. Anyways, if something doesn't work out, we're only out a $1.25

Big savings on all of those, plus some amazing imaginative stuff in their craft section and this time of year they have lots of gardening supplies including organic potting soil! In the stationary section they have name brand security business envelopes which normally cost at least $4.99 or more at a regular stationary store.

Also, I bought some valentine candy that I gave friends as a gift, but was embarrassed when they found the candy was pretty stale. So you have to watch what you buy.

Hello Steve and Jim!! This is really an informative video!! Having just bought our 2nd home in Palm Springs (hmmm...that doesnt read correct....1st home there, but the 2nd home we currently own), I feel as quitting work got pushed down the road a bit (was hoping to quit work in 5 years at 60). I really should get better about checking this kind of place out. I do know our dollar tree has Moon Pies!! But, I need to watch the sugar intake, so I dont get those any more. I think I want to save my sugar grams for date shakes at Shields again!!! So, part of my problem would be not being as familiar with what Dollar Trees stock is. We go to Walmart, and it tends to be 1 stop shopping for us (we live 35 miles from a town with any reasonable shopping). But....armed with a little extra knowledge, I bet a Dollar Tree-esque place could easily save us $100/month. Amd that extra $100 could go to paying down the CA mortgage faster!!

Often delivery stickers on parcels are thermo printed. That means you can use a lighter or flame to heat the sticker to black out your address. I buy those long stem fireplace lighters at the Dollar Tree to heat away my address. Of course be careful not to light it on fire. Just pass the flame close to the sticker and it will turn completely black. Often you can still read the address because the ink is more shiny than the black marker. That is why I'd rather use heat than marker. But heat won't work on paper printed and then taped down delivery labels.

On a challenge, I went to Dollar Tree to see if I could get the ingredients I needed to make the cheapest dinner possible. I succeeded !!! For $ 3.75 I was able to make a dinner for two that was great. I call the recipe "Spam-Braten", and yes, you soak the Spam slices in sauerkraut juice !!!

Never buy batteries from the dollar store. I did once, D batteries they lasted about a two months. Usually the good brands last about a year.

I have been going to dollar stores for years and they have the best greeting cards for less, carpet pieces for $5 and of course cleaning supplies. Walmart is good for some things but not everything.

@@theretiredlifewithsteve The Saturday before last Valentine Day I decided to send my great niece's their Girl Scout cookie money in a card. At their age, I thought they would get a kick out of getting a Valentine Day card in the mail. The store was crowded, and my husband and I were looking at cards asking, "Do you like this one?" My husband noticed a group of ladies staring at us, so he told them we weren't there to buy cards, we just come to look at them. So, I chimed in, "Yes we are on a budget. This saves us a lot of money." BTW we did buy each other a card and one from the dog. 😆
