Store Spotlight: The Dollar Tree

I'm sure most people have either heard of or have been to the dollar tree, but most people do not realize how many great items can be bought there! I love to buy organizational items there. 

Office Supplies
Make sure to check out the office supply section as well. Poster board, paper, drawer organizers, and other basic supplies are always available. They even carry teaching supplies and craft supplies.  

Kitchen
In the kitchen aisle, there is often name brand plastic storage and sturdy glassware. I've gotten a lot of unique items there like cute spice jars. You just have to watch. 

Storage
In the plastic storage, I have found some great bins for closets and shelving. I recently found dog treat storage containers. They had paw prints on them and were only a dollar each. I bought 6!

Food
And don't forget the food section. I would stay clear of the off brand food, but often, you can find some great name brand food. My stores sell both Pepsi and Coke products. 

Holidays
And don't forget to stop in for the holidays. They've always had great selections for holidays. I've gotten great bouquets, wall decorations, etc., for less than half the price of anywhere else. I made some cute centerpieces for thanksgiving and Christmas for under $10 each. 

Gifts
And finally, gift wrap, gift bags, and cards. If you're looking for basics, they've got them. The cards aren't fancy, but they are great for stocking up or if you are including them with a gift. They have cellophane, tissue paper, bows, gift boxes, bows, and even party supplies. Everything you might need!
