Dollar Tree~~OH MY!!

I know. I know! Dollar tree is crap. Dollar Tree is all useless junk. Not everything is junk and maybe useful. You might be surprised.

This is one of my favorite stores. Just because you never know what is inside. Now not everything is great and it depends on what your plans are. I love to see what in store for me at DT. Last Christmas at Walmart I saw some Betty Crocker items. I did not have the money to buy these extra items. Well as luck would have it DT has some of the items I had wanted!! And for just a buck!! WOOHOO!! Walmart was several dollars per item. Also there were some socks that I liked at walmart. They were $2.97 for 2 pairs. DT had them for $1 for 2 pairs. they still had the Walmart tags on them.
Did I Know that DT would have these items? No, I did not but I stopped and checked it out. You have to look for great deals. They do not just leap out in front of you.

My DT favorites:
* Foil pans 2 for $1 (Turkey pans are 1 for $1)
* matches
* Christmas cards (Disney) (in season)
* some toys ( discontinued from walmart, ect)
* some cleaning supplies ( i love the foam cleaner)
* books ( sometimes they have great books)
* craft items
* teacher supplies (they always have something)
* rubber gloves for the kitchen (last as long as a name brand)
* plastic gloves ( 50 or 100 count depends on kind)
* party decorations
* plastic spoons ( keep them on hand for picnics or parties, if you forget your spoon, oh well)

I also have used several items that I would not normally purchase. We were having a pizza party and needed several cooling racks. I did not want to spend a ton of money for 10 racks. So off to DT I went. I found round cooling racks 2 for $1. So I bought 5 packs. I let the guests take them home after the party. I have also used there foil (never again!!) and a knife. I am the kind of person that if I know I will only use it once~ go to DT and get it and throw it away. Yes, I said it!! Throw it away. If you are in a pinch with money. Why spend $5 or $10 bucks for something you will never use again.

So go to your local Dollar Tree and see what it has for you!
