Dollar Tree

Grab a cart, you’ll need it! If you forgot your bags they usually have brown paper bags at no cost. This location is huge and in addition to the normal fare it has refrigerated foods, frozen foods, chips, sodas, toys, kitchen things, and also freshly delivered bread products on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you time it right sometimes you can find bread that costs $ 4 a loaf at HEB in this place for a buck! Careful though, sometimes they do not clear all the old bread off the shelf and I’ve seen a moldy loaf here and there. Gotta look them over carefully but it is well worth the effort. Bread is always a random assortment it seems but I’ve scored great bagels here in the past. Their alternative brand of Lays style potato chips are great as are the bags of pretzel sticks. Enough candy choices in here to give ya the beetus. The 3 liter bottles of soda for a buck are great value for folks who are not super picky about brands. I’ve found eggs here a couple times for $ 1 a half dozen which is cheaper than the nearby grocery places. Also found some peppered turkey bacon and tortillas too. The kitchen stuff here may not last forever but the value for what you get is very strong. Cleaning products here can be hit or miss but the LA totally awesome cleaning line is quality stuff and you can’t beat the price. Big containers of oxy clean type stuff can be found here too which is a great laundry cleaning booster among many other uses. I have probably cut a good 75% off of my cleaning product budget by shopping here with no noticeable difference to my family and house guests. The generic swiffer style dusters are great. The foil bake ware and BBQ tools for cooking or grilling is a fantastic value here. BBQ fans will be very happy. The stringless tea bags are a great value at 100 bags for a buck. Wrapping paper and gift bags aplenty for cheap.
The paper products, paper towels, toilet paper, etc are usually sub par and are to be avoided. Do not buy the coffee here it is awful. Some of the canned goods are actually cheaper at HEB so you have to keep an eye out.
Plenty of good places to eat nearby too! Sadly getting in and out of the parking lot from the IH-​35 access road is a pain, but it’s worth it.

I was planning a gender reveal for a good friend and needed some «1 use items» for the event. I needed an inexpensive flower vase, balloons, and plastic table covers. They had all of it, for a dollar each! I HIGHLY recommend starting here if you are planning a party. You can find so many things for so much cheaper. For example, I bought a pink mylar balloon with «Its a girl» written on it for $ 1. Then I went next door and they had the same exact balloon for $ 2.99. Dollar Tree even fills it with helium for you.
This particular store was well stocked and had a lot of things. However, the customer service was subpar. The manager was helping me at the balloon counter and he did not have a pleasant attitude. To be honest though, prices are so low, I would totally come back even if the service didn’t change.

This location is by far the biggest (3−4x the size) of any other Dollar Tree I have ever been to!!! AND, it was very well organized, clean, and there were actual employees around that were very helpful and knew exactly where everything was at.
For fellow frequent Dollar Tree shoppers out there: You know how sometimes you find something you want and the store only has 2 and you need 6… then you stop by 3+ other stores to try to find the extras… sometimes successful, sometimes not… don’t waste your time and/​or gas money — just beeline it to the Shops at Tech Ridge!

Cheap wine glasses!!! Cheap crafting supplies and a great assortment of misc, stuff we all like to buy. They even sell the (Scentsy type) wax squares for the warming trays. 4 squares for a dollar you can’t beat that.
The staff is always really friendly! I go here about once a week just to walk around and pick up stuff I don’t really need but, can use. I just bought Chinese lanterns for my patio that are battery operated.
It may be a bad thing this place is within walking distance to my house but, I digress!
