Looking to shop for the best deals on the groceries and home goods you love to keep in stock? Your first stop might be Costco, the retail giant that is known for having more of almost everything at a low cost.
It might surprise you to discover, however, that there are actually a few of the same products available at Dollar Tree that will get you more bang for your buck. Here are the five items with greater value at Dollar Tree than Costco.
Toilet Paper
An essential product you always needed to keep stocked in your home is toilet paper and picking a four-count pack of Dollar Tree’s Scott Comfort Plus 1-Ply Bathroom Tissue for $1.25 each definitely beats out the 36-count Kirkland Signature Ultra Soft Bath Tissue bundle you can find at Costco for $24.99.
Batteries
Do you need to recharge your electronic devices? Stock up on batteries the next time you are at Dollar Tree, where an eight count of E-Circuit Super Heavy-Duty AAA Batteries is on sale for the low price of $1.25. That might shock you when compared to the 40 count Duracell Coppertop Alkaline AAA Batteries for $17.99 at Costco.
Plastic Cups
If you are planning on throwing a party in the near future and do not want to deal with the mess of doing dishes afterwards, then head to Dollar Tree where you can pick up a 48-count pack of Red Plastic Party Cups for just $1.25. That’s saving you some money in your wallet rather than spending it at Costco on a Kirkland Signature Chinet Plastic Cup pack of 240 for $13.59.
Trash Bags
It’s a messy job, but making sure your trash is taken out in a secure and strong bag has to be done. That’s why you need to shop for trash bags at Dollar Tree, where a 35-count of Essentials 13-Gallon Scented Trash Bags in a variety of colors only costs $1.25. If you went to Costco and picked up the 200-count box of Kirkland Signature Flex-Tech 13-Gallon Kitchen Trash Bag, you’d get home only to find that price stinks when measured up to Dollar Tree.
Baby Wipes
Your little ones deserve a fresh clean and you deserve to save money on keeping their most sensitive areas comfortable. Accomplish both by adding a 72-count pack of Smart Care Fisher-Price Baby Wipes to your cart for just $1.25 the next time you are at Dollar Tree. Skip going to Costco, where a 640-count box of Kirkland Signature Premoistened Flushable Wipes will cost you $19.99, plus $3 in shipping if you order it online.
