dollar tree

route 7 — Fri, 23 Jan 2015 02:01:11 GMT

Family Dollar and Dollar Tree are now emerged. Who knows how it will work out but I for one like both stores for "junky value". Dollar Tree is the best for cards, wrapping paper, etc. and sometimes you can get a bargain at F.M. I just hope "Dollar Tree" remains the same - One dollar for pretty good stuff!

Was in Dollar Tree today, bought 18 bucks worth of stuff. Love it! I, too, hope it doesn't change.

I read somewhere that the best "bargains" in Dollar Tree are cleaning items. I have bought a few "swiffer-like" dusters and love them. I also don't need Rx glasses anymore since I had my cataracts removed and I get the nicest readers at Dollar Tree. I was paying $5 for them at Publix and I discovered them at DT. Now, I have at least a dozen pair all over the house.

We have a Dollar Tree and Dollar General right next to each other. Can't beat it with a stick.

It's a bitter merger....hopefully they'll resolve this soon. All these 'dollars'...all 8.5 billion of them! Zowie!

I like the SOS-type pads that are sold at the Dollar Tree, along with the "eraser-type" cleaning sponges.

I also like to shop in their office supply section. I buy my pens and mechanical pencils there, and buy large mailing envelopes there, too.

Love Dollar Tree! As mentioned, great prices on wrapping paper, cards, cleaning supplies, office supplies.....pretty much everything! Hope nothing changes if a merger happens.

I agree. I've never been to a Family Dollar store

One of my recent guilty pleasure has been to watch Dollar Tree "hauls" and reviews on YouTube...there are so many! I like to see what other ladies purchase and recommend. There are items at the DT I did not even know they sold! I have been purchasing some great things recently (name brand products...Infusium 23 leave-in conditioner, South Beach protein bars).

I always head to the Dollar Tree first. Where else can you find things for $1??? I suppose now that this merger is happening, this will change. Every time you get some place where you can actually save a few dollars, something happens. When you get to be older and your income is limited, every dollar counts. I don't think Family Dollar and the other similar places have nearly as good prices.

i love dollar tree! we recently got a bigger one and then of course we have half a dozen more in any given direction. i love that they now take coupons - Lime-A-Way toilet bowl cleaner is something i MUST have because living with 4 guys i have found is tough on a bathroom! even when you have several! they had the Lime-A-Way and i had coupons for $.50 off! i got enough to put a few bottles in each bathroom so i am good to go until at least fall now!

I like browsing the Dollar Tree, especially for cards and stuff for kids. I have never been in a Family Dollar store, but from what I have heard, not everything is a $1 like the Dollar Tree!

I buy cards, gift bags and tissue frequently at Dollar Tree. Recently I learned from my 4 year old granddaughter, they sell the same cards every year. I didn't know my Grands saved their cards. She informed me the Christmas card I gave her this year, I gave to her sisters previous Christmases. Turns out I gave all 3 girls the same 4 year old card, too.

Thank you for pointing out how ungrateful my 4 year old grand daughter is.

Note to self, keep petty stuff off these forums.

"sheesh. some people!"

That's cute. I am amazed at what my grandkids notice. Nothing gets passed mine either. It took me a while to realize that some of the greeting cards at DT are repeated every year.

I thought it was pretty observant when my GD pointed it out. I didn't realize the girls save all their cards then periodically take them out and play You've Got Mail.
