Every cashier, on every transaction, every day, all day long, at our local Dollar Tree, asks the customer:
“And, would you like to donate to our Christmas Presents for the Children of Military Families?”
JFTR, I always do.
FReepers may scorn the Dollar Tree, but when one is a widow on Social Security, and NOT getting any other assistance, it is a great place to shop for dried beans, pasta, paper goods, and non-perishables.
That extra “Dollar for the Troops” is often my last one.
I walkaway from Dollar Tree with a full cart, when across the Parking Lot at Target, I may have been able to purchase one or two items. And more often than not, the Brands are the SAME.
Just Sayin’.
We shop at Dollar Tree a lot.
Toothpaste and brushes, Mouthwash, razors, shaving cream, paper goods, etc.
Ours have frozen foods and refrigerated items. Dozen medium eggs $1, bologna, canned goods..................
My favorite question at the dollar store is ‘how much is this?’
They are a good store.
I love Dollar Tree. I go about 6 times a year and I usually end up spending $50.00 or more.
Bought a bunch a stuff this Monday to make Christmas Baskets for my co-workers.

I think many who scorn Dollar Tree have never actually been in one...I initially went there for gift wrapping supplies... and I have found excellent product/deals on wrapping paper, tissue paper, gift bags, and party supplies.
I also bought plates (ceramic) and mugs to fill with goodies as gifts.
Since then I have walked thru the store and found some excellent buys on Curad bandaids, trave-sized toiletries, Gosmer milk (non-refigerated), and some Betty Crocker kitchen items.
I have bought several boxes of their emergency candles—28 hours of lighting for a dollar.
Yes, it all comes from China, but no store can boast much made in America now :(
Shoot....I make a very good living...and I shop at Dollar General all the time.
