Dollar Tree

«I’d buy *that* for a dollar!»
This «Dollar Tree» is my absolute favorite. Unlike other shady dollar stores, everything here is a actually $ 1. Party supplies, greeting cards, candy, «Valentina Hot Sauce»…what CAN’T you get here?
You may be thinking «It’s crap!»…and you’d be partially right. You can, indeed, get plenty of crap! Alas, there ARE a few treasures…
Many of their drinking glasses and glass containers are manufactured by «Libbey Glass». Libbey supplies glassware to an impressive array of restaurants, pubs, and hotels. They are of the highest quality and made right here in the USA. You could bash someone’s brains in with a Libbey whiskey tumbler. That’s quality! But I digress. Some candleholders, mugs, and wine glasses are from «Greenbrier International» in Chesapeake, Virginia. I believe that is Chinese owned as they import, but plenty of Greenbrier goods ARE US made. Check your sticker/​label for where items are manufactured, not distributed from.“Dollar Tree” offers a large selection of US-​made scented/​unscented candles… even 100% soy varieties. (Check the bottom) It isn’t uncommon to find some Canadian goods mixed in the lot. There’s certainly no shortage of foaming soap dispenser refills, body washes and other bath goods that are cruelty-​free. Occassionaly, «E.L.F.» goodies are here. Their brushes are vegan and the entire line is cruelty free. Oh, the feelz!
Ladies, you can find killer cosmetic storage options. Desk organizers, school supplies, books, gift boxes, gift bags, ribbons, and party platters for a song. Paper goods are always a win. Plenty of pharmaceutical staples such as rubbing alcohol, peroxide, aspirin, etc. Every holiday imaginable there will be isles of ridiculously-​fun goodies for celebrating. Did I mention the «Arizona Iced Tea» Tallboys?
But, back to crap. While the staff is refreshingly friendly and the store is spacious, clean and neat, the piped-​in tunes are dreadful. Not loud, just yeeshhh. Also, I’d personally avoid the toys, including pet products; China has a history with lead-​laden and toxic toys and pet goods. I implore you to read your labels. Your pets and children count on you! Lest we not forget, the knock-​off «Pop Tarts» are a d*mn abomination. Hey, they can’t all be winners. So come on in! Browse these dollar wares with a watchful eye; you just might be pleasantly surprised.
Maybe I DID buy a craptastic, dancing, solar-​powered Devil for my dash; don’t judge me…

They have a lot of very nifty stuff. For a good price even. Just beware, sometimes it gets a little chaotic inside.

Everything is a dollar! I’ve gotten away with shopping here plenty of times for minor things. They now take credit cards.

The Dollar Tree is so big that you can almost chop it down like a real tree! (lol)
They have a lot of things in there, but I haven’t been in there in a couple years. But when I was in there, the worker Ryan wouldn’t ever help me find anything I was looking for, he’d just always ask me if I wanted to come over once his mom went to sleep and sneak into her liquor cabinet and play some Sega Dreamcast. I didn’t even know the guy either, I only know his name was Ryan because of his name tag (it said Ryan M to be exact). He looked to be in his late 20’s, but he said something about doing it on a weekend because his «friend» couldn’t come over on a school night…

This Dollar Tree is huge! It has a ton of items ranging from party supplies, kiddy toys, kitchen wares to cleaning supplies, canned goods, frozen foods and so much more. Everything is a dollar!
Most things are actually pretty decent. Of course you have some cheaply made stuff, but it is only a dollar, so if you get a few uses out of a tool, or toy, it shouldn’t hurt that much.
This locations is by far my favorite of the Dollar Tree chains because of its size, broad selection and good staff. Definitely worth a shot if you are in the area.
