Dollar Tree ~ FAQ

They also have easter candy marked down cheap after easter. I saw those chocolate eggs in a decent but small sized bag marked down to a quarter and bought some both in Pa and WV. They had some other stuff easter marked down but as soon as I saw chocolate nothing else mattered! :-) Also one in WV had Sunday papers too.

Nope, their marketing strategy, in part, is to keep their overhead as low as possible (hence the initial $7 requirement to use a debit card) so they can keep their items $1. They also do not give refunds, only exchanges.

The clearing house does reimburse them .08 per coupon, but according to NCH (one of the leading clearing houses) most retailers spend on average 20 hours a week handling coupon adjustments -- 1080 hours a year. Assuming that's for the entire Dollar Tree chain and the person making the adjustments makes $20/hour (that's an arbitrary figure, I know, but I think probably reasonable), it would take 270,000 coupons redeemed to make up the difference in adjustment cost alone.

I'll adjust coupons for $20 an hour, who's hiring?

They do not accept coupons but occasionally offer % off Q's through various credit card companies. So be sure to look through the extra ads in your credit card statements when they come in. I think Discover was the last CC company to send a % off Q out for DT.

I was at Dollar Tree looking for some stickers (Thanks to isis!) for the first time and was told they don't accept coupons, wow, I never knew. Guess I should do more homework at HCW before shopping.

They always clearance their Christmas stuff on Dec 26th. 50% off. When the wrapping paper's regular price = $1, you can't go wrong with 0.50 paper on the day after Christmas. And, most people don't think to shop there that day b/c who would think the Dollar Tree would mark anything cheaper than $1? One year, their Christmas paper included red and green solid, which I stocked up on to use as birthday wrapping paper.

Thanks this is very good information. I guess I will be one of the many at the dollar tree the day after X-mas. I love this site!!!!
