Betty Crocker items at Dollar Tree

simplyfriends — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 22:11:36 GMT

I recently made a trip to Dollar Tree to get a few crafting items. They have the best kitchen utensils by Betty Crocker. I've had my kitchen shears for a year and I use them almost every day. Also, that $1 choc chip cookie mix is yummy... it only makes 12 but that's all we need.

All those red utensils - don't drop them on the floor, they break.

@simplyfriends I used to buy that cookie mix ages ago. I'd usually buy 2 or 3 and make cookies as it saved time making from scratch when DH, son and I were so busy. Nice memory.

Hard plastic breaks easily, especially on tile floors.

I have found that many of off brand pkgs of cookie mix and muffin mix are pretty good.

I haven't been in a Dollar Tree in ages. I do need a few kitchen gadgets so I'll check these out. Thanks! 🙂

I have quite a few of those kitchen gadgets in my two RV's. There is no need to buy expensive items for part time use.

I haven't had any problems with the quality of the items and nothing broke when I dropped it. I do not have hard tile floors in my kitchen, though. I have several pairs of those kitchen shears. I buy extra because my DH walks off with them to use in the garage.

I bake a lot of bundt cakes and the Dollar Tree has the perfect cake carrier! It's not large or heavy, but just right for a 10 cup bundt cake. Now I don't feel bad if I've taken someone a cake and they don't return the covering.

@lork I need more info! Is it plastic? I've never seen this there.

I love dollar tree. The different sized foil pans they have are great. Whenever I'm making lasagna, etc, I make extra and freeze. Lately they've had funnel cake mix (I can't remember if you add milk or water). It's a fun little treat.

I started buying BC items a couple of years ago here at our Dollar Trees in Texas.

yeah, they got little bit of everything on the wall. I bought one of their strainer bowls to drain macroni and boiled potatoes, can go in dishwasher.

don't like those spatula's though, they snap. Spatulas best bought at Walmart if you can manage to stand and look at anything before the aisle fills up. OXO makes great stuff too have to go to Bed and Bath for the higher end stuff.

I had a friend who was looking at the tools and pulled one of the peg, and the one above it came with it, hit her in the eye and she ended up with a black eye for a long time.

I love Dollar Tree and other $ stores. I have had the BC long 2 sized (on end ) spatula for a long time and find it better at cleaning in peanut butter jar than my spurtles.

I do not like thier lunch type Betty Crocker containers as none of the lids will snap tight and stay . Did not work well for DH's packed lunch. I am pitching them and going back to Rubbermaid.

I do love to shop there. One does not need to use a calculator or ask ' how much is this ? '

Yes, the bundt cake carrier has a clear plastic top and a white plastic "plate" bottom. It's hot heavy duty, but works perfectly for my needs. I have trouble finding it (with the other plastic wear pieces), it is not always available. Last time I found them in a local store I bought 5!
