Dollar Tree ~ what, if anything do you still buy @ dollar tree since coupons?

[MommyMoneybags]

Straws. There 100 for $1 and like $1.49/50 at Publix.

I also get gift bags and tissue paper there.

And the good ol' toliet paper. I'm in FL so no one doubles here so $1 is about the best deal around.

i go for the holiday decorations, party deco, and the frozen food section, they always have good deals there such as icee cups and really good jello!

I live in the Land Of No Doubles, so I buy more there than I would if my stores doubled coupons.

On a regular basis I Buy:
My kids favorite drink cup with straws attached, we call them straw cups
Storage containers for my kids small toys
Gallon zip locks
No rust SOS pads
Laundry stain pre-treat spray (like shout, but their brand)
Gift bags, ribbon, balloons
Foam board
Pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks and puffy balls for craft projects
Glitter, both glue and loose
Coloring/Activity books
Hand soap in a pump (coconut scented)
Soft foam "playdough" (molded like play dough when wet and it dries into stuff that feels like nurf)
Light sticks
Egg shaped sidewalk chalk (year round), does not break like the stick shaped chalk
Easter baskets, halloween candy buckets and other holiday supplies

I have also recently bought frisbees, jump ropes, squirt guns, small balls for outdoors, puzzles, toy child-safe magnifying glass, a screwdriver, net laundry bag, bag clips (to keep your chips fresh), drain strainers, bungee cords, pens, 6 pack of mini notebooks and many other things.

.....wait you buy pregnancy tests at the dollar tree?

that ranks right up there with using dollar tree condoms! ---are ya sure thats not why your using the dollar tree pregnancy tests?

They are ranked as one of the best tests you can get out there on pee on a stick-they are better than EPT. They also sell ovulation prediction kits if you are TTC which can be very expensive, but at the Dollar Tree they are of course a dollar. Both are highly sensitive, I would never, ever pay any more for a pg test, especially after reading on multiple site that some midwives even buy them there for their clients. I got a + immediately this pregnancy.

I also get soy milk for us there often, it is West Brae organic and cheap.


I also am in the land of no doubles, so I always check the food aisles for anything interesting that I may not be able to get on sale. It's hard for me also to get free toothbrushes etc w/out having a CVS or Walgreens, we only have RA and I only get there every few weeks, so I buy toothbrushes there. I also seem to get lucky and find make-up there.

Gift basket stuff is nice there, picture frames, candles, etc....Party supplies.

They have an all purpose cleaner called Awesome that works great.

Since I first posted in this thread I've started buying:

Their chicken biscuit crackers. My daughter and I fight over the box!
Their Minute Maid juice boxes and the 4 pack of punch for my daughter's lunch box.
Freezer and sandwich bags.

I still use the dollar tree for:
Party supplies
gift bags
coloring books
kitchen gadgets (pizza wheel, turner,etc)
pregnancy tests! LOL my pills work too good, and usually keep me from having my monthly. The tests keep me from freaking out every month!

Just a quick fact.....I used the dollar tree pregnancy test ummmm almost 7 months ago and got a big fat -, when another week went by and still nothing I broke down and bought a different brand and I got a big fat +. Hence 7 months ago, baby #6 due dec 11th. Trust me totally happy about our baby but i know some people might not take it like that so just a word of advice, if ever in doubt.
