Dollar Tree ~ newbie-lots of questions

[becca_doodl]

So, I have never been in a Dollar Tree. However, my sister in law a few hours away says hers takes coupons and she actually used one there the first week of July. I checked mine and they don't, and according to everything I can find, hers is unique. So, I'd like to send her qs to use (she doesn't coupon heavily but will use them if I send them and a list of items).

I have these questions:

Do all DTs have the same stuff? Can I go to my DT and make a list of items I can get qs for knowing she'll have the same things at her store?

Is stock plentiful or is it ones and twos of everything? Is it like DG that will ALWAYS have some of the same stuff, or it is just a crapshoot?

What name brands have you seen there that might have qs, including food, toiletries, paper products, or anything else?

Any other help would be appreciated!

Dollar Tree stock varies from store to store. The stock is a wide range of everything.
At my store I have seen suave, halls, Colgate, etc.
At least hers take coupons...I would say the best thing to do is get a list of her favorite items she likes to use if there is no preference cover the basic and throw in some extra.
If she can't use at dollar tree maybe she has a store that doubles and she can get the item there.

The stores in my area seem to carry pretty much the same things except for food. The food isle can really vary from store to store and the package sizes seem to be smaller than publix, wal-mart, etc. So some coupons might not match if there is a size restriction.
