Sometimes, when shoppers have a Sam’s Club membership, they might think they’re getting all the best prices. But, the truth is the Dollar Tree can still win out sometimes. Here’s a look at where Sam’s Club falls short in comparison to Dollar Tree prices.Â
Plush Throw Blanket
- Dollar Tree price: $6
Looking to give some warm blankets as gifts? At Sam’s Club, you’ll pay a hefty price for having a cartoon character on a 50- by 60-inch plush throw. Each blanket at Sam’s costs $16.94, versus Dollar Tree where embossed plush throws of the same size are only $6.Â
Aluminum FoilÂ
- Dollar Tree price: $1.75
Aluminum foil is always going to be needed in the kitchen. If you pick some up at Dollar Tree, you’ll save. Granted, it’s a small savings, but everything counts these days. At Sam’s Club, aluminum foil comes out to 5 cents per square foot and it’s 4 cents per square foot at Dollar Tree.Â
Pickleball Set
- Dollar Tree price: $1.75
For those getting in on the pickleball craze, you might want to swing by Dollar Tree. For a paddle and a ball, it will cost $1.75. At Sam’s Club, shoppers will have to purchase a set, which comes with two paddles and two balls for $27.97. Two paddles and two balls would only cost $3.50 at Dollar Tree.Â
Oven Mitts and Pot Holders
- Dollar Tree price: $1.50
At Sam’s Club, customers will find a set of two mini mitts, an oven mitt and a pot holder for $14.98. At Dollar Tree, shoppers can purchase a set of an oven mitt with two pot holders for $1.50. Though there are no mini mitts, it provides the same functionality and is much cheaper.
Clipboard
- Dollar Tree price: $1.25
This is a major price difference. At Dollar Tree, a 9- by 12-inch clipboard costs $1.25. At Sam’s Club, a smaller clipboard at 8.5 by 11 inches costs $7.98. There are virtually no differences in these boards and buyers will even get more space with the Dollar Tree version.
