So, the Dollar Tree is where I run to get garlands, signs, knickknacks, etc. … The best is how many kids, parents, and staff appreciate it all and how I get to tell them, ‘It’s Dollar Tree!’” —anonymous —misscherrieeeee —anonymous “Spices. I know I’m gonna get hate from the spice snobs about this one, but as a 20-something-year-old moving into your first apartment or home, you quickly learn that spices are expensive and add up really fast. Yes, they may not be as good in quality as name brands, but they get the job done.” —anonymous —anonymous —anonymous “The dollar store has allergy pills, basically generic Zyrtec, and they’re the best. You get 14 for a dollar, and it’s the same active ingredient. Best dollar store find my mom taught me.” —anonymous “I always buy generic medication at the Dollar Tree. Especially those things that you don’t use often, but want to have on hand (e.g. anti-diarrheal medication, diphenhydramine (Benadryl) for allergic reactions). They sometimes have shorter expiration times and a smaller number of pills in the bottle, but I would rather throw away 10 anti-diarrhea pills than not have one when I need it!” —anonymous —anonymous —anonymous —Kirstin, NC —anonymous —anonymous —anonymous —anonymous —anonymous “The Dollar Tree carries ‘L.A. Awesome,’ a spray cleaner that out-performs any other cleaner that I’ve tried. It is great for removing grease, whether on pans or hands. Also, it’s a great pre-wash spot remover and carpet cleaner. I’ve even used it for removing road tar from my Airstream trailer. It’s $1.25 for the trigger spray bottle, and the same price for the larger refill.” —anonymous —anonymous “I always buy greeting cards there. My older family members love getting birthday, Mother’s/Father’s Day, and Christmas cards from my family. Instead of buying the $5-$9 cards from other stores, we buy them from the dollar store to save money.” —anonymous —anonymous —anonymous —anonymous —anonymous —panda_13 —anonymous —anonymous —anonymous —anonymous —electricbutts
