I like dollar tree you just got to know what or what not to buy. No food unless name brand & check expire date. No electrics but so much fun to decorate, cards , wrapping paper & few other things also try the cleaners let it sit for a few minutes & see if you like it. I love it, just fun go in with an open mind and I do understand some stuff is ****** but go into utube so many will give reviews of items. /they now have Hallmark wrapping paper & cards. If you have young children so fun buying coloring books, markers & something to fill an Easter basket. Who can buy scotties tissues 148 count for a dollar? my grocery store charges way more. Got rubber maid containers for $1 who does that? Just know what to buy or not.

Am not a fan of Dollar General but do like Dollar Tree. There is not a Dollar General anywhere near us but Dollar Trees are popping up everywhere. I would be concerned if the sticker said Dollar General on it....I would think maybe it was an irregular or somehow imperfect..,which is fine, but not for toothpaste or anything else I would be eating or putting in my mouth or on my skin. I have shopped in Dollar General a couple of times while in other towns; they seemed overpriced for what they were selling. Jmo


I decided to check on how many we have of all three inside my city limits and way more than I thought.  Dollar General 12, Family Dollar 11,  Dollar Tree only 5.  On the highway for the 40 minute drive from my home to my son's home I pass three Dollar General's and two Family Dollars.  This is all rural areas and with little population.  These stores are really growing.

Yes, Dollar Tree pickles are excellent!

 

Taste just as good (to me) as supermarket brands at higher prices.

 

In fact, I like the smaller pickles even better than the larger ones.  

 

Our Dollar Tree stores are clean, organized, etc.

 

Love their greeting cards, too.  All nice, crisp cards.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

I don't care for Dollar General. They're too expensive😃 lol.

Seriously, though, I was just at Dollar Tree yesterday to pick up some gift bags. I also picked up two DVDs, shrink-wrapped together, BBC coverage of two royal weddings--William and Kate, and Harry and Meghan. The HM one was about 90 minutes long. The WK one was 2 hours long, and also had a backstory on Kate, which ran for about 45 minutes. You can't beat 2 DVDs for a buck.


The pain they have cost us, the evils that never happened.
