Dollar Tree

Phew! Just made it 4 min shopping was just enough for a story at least! Managed to spend $ 24. In that brief amount of time. The security at door forewarned with a kind smile, of my severely limited time, so a few shakes of patriotic vigor later I emerge at close, beliguerd by fatigue,
I free Matilda for a moment of respite and map reading of my own to know how to venture Home. The store experienced-​= –successful. The personalized, «Hey, hey you,» gesturing me to ‘shoo’, with his hand. A
man in a car w/​? Securitas, written on the side of the vehicle from which he was gesticulating, never emerging from, barely cracking his window-​from, …this is where my orders to shoo’” must be coming. THIS, I could have lived without. I soon realized after minutes of non communication, that i was thought to be a hooker. No explanation or gesturing on my part, would sway him him to think possible, my simply being a shopper, having just finished shopping and putting many bags in the car, pottying my dog, attempting to get directions home on phone would convince him otherwise. I was a Walking Want Ad, for myself, seeking immediate employ, tax exempted HO.
I think I’m flattered. Yes, at 58.5yrs old,
I am flattered.
I love the Dollar Tree.

What can i say if your near by a dollar store or 99 cent store before going to the theater ls always best to stop by and stock up on 99 cent candy instead of paying 4 bucks for the same candy at the movies, just make sure u have deep wide pockets or a lady friend with a purse to sneak in the goods lol.
That was my tip for to the day now lets get back to this dollar store. Honestly im not to fond bout the location, not because of the area but more because of the weird front parking they have on the stockton blvd side. The store itself was packed with merchandise they had more parking on the side of the store i mean plenty more its basically all empty on that side. They have a whole bunch of balloons to pick from if u want a get a bunch of them for a special occasion or what not. I will come back to this location is near my house its fully stocked and everything is a dollar, whats not to like about that? Lol

Love that this location is big meaning that they have a lot more stuff! This area isn’t the nicest but they do have good stuff there. It’s not too hard to find parking, they should really re pave the parking lot though cause it’s very bumpy. There is always a security guard at the door sometimes handing baskets out which is nice. The inside isn’t too messy where you can’t locate anything. Love the great stuff for a $ 1!

Ok so this Dollar Tree Store has everything you need and want, but don’t need. They always have the things the other Dollar Tree Stores don’t have. I have to come all the way over here to get the heat pads I like, they always have them. They carry a lot of different items here.
The store is never really clean, you find random items all over the store. Today they have one register open and the line is super long. That’s not surprising in here at this Dollar Tree. They never have enough registers open. Must come with patients! The other thing that disturbs me about this particular store is there are always homeless people hanging out front. Its really dirty out in front of the store, right in the entry way. And there is always someone digging in the trash looking for bottles. That trash can is forever running over!
Its always busy in here and out of all the dollar stores I’ve gone too, this one is pretty ghetto. The staff changes often and they are not always friendly. Some of them are ok, don’t get me wrong. I’mjust saying most of the ones I’ve crossed aren’t always so kind.
Anyways so here I am and the one line thats open is already long and the guy in front of me is paying for his stuff in coins (smh). Never come here to be in a rush. I must admit they are always pretty stocked with their supplies tho and I love the birthday and decoration section and my granddaughter loves the toy section. The parking lot gets busy and people drive like their in a hurry, so be watchful.

i like to come here and find some random stuff i usually don’t need. I am always working on projects and the first place i think of is the dollar store. i was working on a project with making a scrapbook for my cousin graduation. From previous shopping experiences here i have noticed they have lots of scrapbooking supplies such as stickers and school supplies too.
i came here on purpose to look for them stickers to make the scrapbooking pages stand out. since it was a graduation scrapbook i am working on and those stickers they carry in the stores works with all occasions and my specific occasion too.
this store is pretty organized by aisle with what category you are looking for. when you enter the store they usually have the season and theme or occasion with all the supplies and accessories you need. like for right now they have all summer table wares and plates and napkins and etc.; most of the items are bright and attractive by the entrance. i usually put tons of unnecessarily items in my basket but when its time to line up, i ask myself if i need it and then put 75% back haha.
the lines tend to get very long. the lines do move slow, and the checkers are usually slow. also most time they are short staff as well. they do have a security guard in the front who is friendly. they make sure you don’t carry a big bag or a backpack and no bags for guys or else they tell you to put your belongings in the cubicle locker for free. they are strict on the bags situation.
overall they have a big section for party supplies which is very big. lots of different occasions from birthdays to wedding and holidays too. They have an aisle with pet accessories such as toys and leash and food as well. lots of food items as well from can food to frozen food as well. a while ago they advertise the dollar steak they had on sale too. i have tried it and it was ok and marinated as well.
overall its a pretty neat store. i know its in a not so good neighborhood but with the large quantity of items they carry keep me coming back. also warning there are lots of loiters and no one tells them anything since they are customers as well. just nicely say no and it should solve the problem. hope this review helps and thanks for reading. add me or follow me if you haven’t. thanks i’d like to keep in touch with you on Unilocal

I always come here to get my random few items. Foil, gift bag, party décor, or cards.
The quality is well worth coming here. –2 stars due to the LINES. When it gets packed it takes awhile. But when it comes down to it, you can’t beat the price. So I end up sucking it up.
The store seems clean, & pretty organized considering I’ve seen other stores similar to this one & it’s just horrendous.
Will I stop coming here? NO.
I’ll just have to go on a day I have patience. Haha.

I made these DIY chalk board mugs and I decided why not take a look at Dollar Store for chalk. As I got to the Dollar Tree Store, it is a bit typical. I didnt see any loiters or bums when I got there. When I went in, I went straight to the office/​school supply section. There were crayons, markers and all stuff. I walked over to the toys. I could not find any chalk at all. I was ready to give up. But I went to the end aisle of the toys and I found it. There were 20 pieces in a box with 5 different colors. They were jumbo chalk. I thought it was cool since they were packaged in 5 color sets. I was able to give a 5 color set to one friend with her DIY chalkboard mug. SO MUCH FUN. My friend receiving the present could decorate her mug all colors. LOVE IT! This dollar store was pretty decent. There were a few places that needs to be straightened but it was okay enough without a health or fire hazard. It was okay! I went home pretty proud of myself buying the chalk.

The Dollar Tree sure comes in handy. They seem to care about long lines here because they always call out extra checkers when the lines get too long. Always in and out.

I like this dollar tree because it seems to be more stocked on different varieties of items than all the other dollar trees. Like every other review, only con is that there are a lot of homeless beggars on the sidewalk and Its right in front of a bus stop. It doesn’t bother me. The employees are very nice and smiley at work everytime I’m there, from the door greeter to the cashier. Always a pleasant visit here. Keep up the good work employees!

who return stuff at the Dollar Tree it seems like everytime I’m at the Dollar Tree there’s always someone trying to return something its a dollar why don’t they just toss it away other than that its a dollar store what can you say plus it’s on Stockton Boulevard so you get the good and the bad

I hate making negative statements about a business that can be a positive aspect for the residents who patronize it, namely that «ghetto» word that other Unilocalers have mentioned. But, yes, it is in a run down, old shopping center that seems to draw the «ghetto» types, homeless, and those of us who have no choice but to shop at a store that directly helps out the low income and the economy affected, by offering a large variety of merchandise with prices that are hard to beat anywhere.
My boyfriend and I needed three specific items and dreaded the thought of fighting the crowds at Walmart. So after having lunch at a restaurant across the way, spotting this Dollar Tree seemed to be the logical choice to search for said items, due to its close proximity and the variety of bargains held within. We found a pill organizer, tablet cutter, even some nylon cable ties that we needed. But of course, I can never just get a few things at a Dollar Tree. I found several other items that I realized I needed while we were browsing. The store was kept neat, organized and tidy enough to make my shopping experience pretty bearable amongst the steady stream of customers coming and going.
Dollar Trees never seem to fail me when I need something in a pinch. They may not always have what I’m looking for, but more often than not, I get pleasantly surprised!
On a side note, some people like me, may remember when a terrible incident happened on April 4^th, 1991, at this building which was once home of «The Good Guys» electronics store. Armed robbers took over by holding people hostage and killing innocent victims in some misguided effort to bring acknowledgement to their cause of which I never understood what it was all about. Lives were lost, and «The Good Guys» store had to close down. Eventually, the sadness and violence became a distant memory, and this brave new store — «The Dollar Tree» managed to take its place…

Barefoot people. Dollar Store big spenders. Funny that there are so many «negative» reviews on this store. people! Its a Dollar Store!!! get over it! Stop trying to find diamonds where there are none. Ironic that the same people who talk the worst about this place, seem to ALWAYS be in there. Its a dollar store for a reason. Is everything that just cost a dollar quatlity? NO. I go in to get candles, cleaning supplies. Candy is cheap here. Those of you that come in and try to decorate your house, well you get what you get.

It’s Stockon Blvd. It’s ghetto. Get over it.
Nobody here does a damn thing about the crowd that loiters outside of their store on the daily. You got your dude selling cheap perfume in the parking lot. You have the guy in the front trying to sell you his bootleg DVDs. You have kids trying to have you sign some petitions. And then of course, you have the bums. It’s like «everything at one convenient location», what more could you ask for?
But seriously.
It’s one of those awkward situation where you’re going to want to pull out your phone and pretend to have a conversation with someone just so they’d leave you alone (hopefully).
Despite all this, I still like shopping here. It’s worth it. Although dollar stores like Dollar Tree usually do tend to sell junk, that’s not always the case. I’ve come to find that this store actually offers really good items. Being one of the bigger Dollar Tree store, they get a lot of products in. On random occasion, they would even offer brand name products (specifically food).
People are very skeptical about what’s the catch for only paying a buck for an item, so I’ve generated some FAQs.
«How much is this?» –Trust me, this question comes up more often than you realize. Some folks takes this to be one of those dollar and UP store. It’s not. Most items are $ 1 (unless marked otherwise like 2/​$ 1 or 79cent candy bars). If it’s a taxable item, there will of course be tax. If it’s a bottle/​can, there will be CRV.
Are their food expired? –MOST of the time, no.
Why are their brand named stuff here for so cheap? –It’s called a promotion. Once in a while, they bring in random awesome goodies as a way to draw you back in the next time.
Do they sell latex balloons? –Not the ones with helium. But they have an AWESOME selection of mylars. WAY cheaper than supermarkets and party supplies stores.
Do you need a receipt for return/​exchange? –At this store, yes, you do.
Do they sell condoms? –No. But I hear the 99 cent store down the street does. Dollar Tree do, however, sell pregnancy tests. So if you wanna be lazy and not drive down the street, be sure to pick up one or two of these.
«This isn’t Wal-​Mart. Why the hell is there a door greeter checking off my receipt?» –It’s probably not you they’re trying to monitor. It’s their employee. A cashier can bag a lot of item for their friends/​family without actually ringing them up. Yes, checking off the receipts at the door can be use to reduce the chance of theft, but that’s not its only purpose. Customers shouldn’t take this personally.
«Psh, who’s gonna steal from a DOLLAR STORE?» –People who likes free shit a little too much. Trust me, it happens. Often.
All in all, I’m grateful that this store is around. Yeah, the line is ridiculously long (I say line/​is because yeah, there’s usually only one). Yeah, the crowd isn’t always a pleasant one. But this store have great stuff seasonal and all year long for a good deal you really can’t beat.

HELLO THIS IS NOT WALMART
Ok so everything a dollar or less and you have a lady at the front door marking my reciept. It is sad you hired a very over weight person and they sit there at the door looking up at you asking for a receip for something that cost a dollar. What would happen if the persin just watch off she can’t catch them she is to big. My point I guess is what is your point of putting this girl girl at the door.

$ 1 for Sunday newspaper is a steal!

My favorite dollar tree store. Good freezer foods in good supply and a ton of seasonal items when you need them. School supplies galore, even a teachers section with stickers and things for teachers. Alot of kitchen supplies as well. I always spend at east 100 $ every visit, there is soooo much stuff.
My biggest issue with this store is the shopping cart issue. They dont go outside!
WTF!!! I had a full cart of heavier items. like drink bottles and a 2 yr old so what do you do? I cant leave my kid behind whiile I go back and forth draging bags out to my car and I cant leave my items behind while I bring a couple bags at a time and my 2 yr old back and forth from the store to the car because its not the best hood (people are trying to sell me laptops outside the front door).
Dont fill your cart if you got your kids with you.

This dollar tree is a dump. Bums all over the outside. Lady asks for receipt at the door. not too bright if you ask me. Watch the register and you will know who pays. Security guard? Really? Trash all over parking lot and sidewalk in front of store.

There’s ALWAYS a trade off…
Leave your dignity at the door and you are engulfed in hoards of dollar treasures that you can accumulate faster than you can think about what you are actually buying. Hey… they’re only a dollar, who cares right?!?
I can call this place ghetto because they have a security guard & a worker who checks your bag & receipt… this isn’t Costco, right? Whatevs, I still dig my $ 1 baller-​on-​a-​budget goodies. I try to avoid this one, but its conveniently located next to my gym. Another justification is I’ve seen them advertise $ 1 steaks before, yeah… exactly my thoughts!
This store is actually pretty well kept and always fully stocked. It’s comforting to see some name brands. I don’t feel as trashy when I’m buying some fairly recognizable brand names.
Shamelessly, I get my dollar-​millionaire on here…

Love the store but this location is getting ghetto with folks standing outside the door just to stand there like there hanging out… SMH. feeling unsafe.

Where else can you find bags of Sugar Daddies for only $ 1?! Dollar Tree!
Yes, this one is in the ghetto and you do get sketchy people browsing the aisles (this is why they have the guy checking everyone’s receipts as you leave the store), but we wanted that candy!
This is one of the larger stores so you can find almost anything that you’re hoping to buy cheap. There are some well-​known brands, but the rest are mostly knock offs. What do you expect for only a dollar?
My boyfriend and I usually visit Dollar Tree stores to buy last minute things such as soda, cups, napkins, candy, etc.
