Dollar Tree’s dollar holds strong against warehouse prices in a handful of household staples, even when bulk buying often has advantages.

Here are five household staples at Dollar Tree that stand mighty against warehouses like Costco and Sam’s Club.

Glassware and Kitchenware

Here’s something to say cheers to: You can get glassware and kitchenware, such as a long stem wine glass, for a fraction of the cost at Dollar Tree compared to warehouse stores. Dollar Tree sells a highly rated one for $1.50 each while Costco sells a six-pack for $52.99.

Party Supplies 

If you’re looking to get the party started, then you’ll want to start with Dollar Tree over warehouse stores. Dollar Tree offers a much wider selection of party supplies like gift bags, tissue paper, bows and decorations throughout the year — not just during end-of-year holidays. You can get large foil and holographic gift bags for $1.25 each. 

Hair Accessories

You don’t have to let your hair down on a good deal. Dollar Tree sells claw clips for $1.25 each. Meanwhile, Sam’s Club sells claw clips for $1.50 each, but you have to buy a bulk pack to get that deal. 

Seasonal and Garden Decor 

Ring in spring for less at Dollar Tree. These whimsical fairy garden miniature houses or mini fairy garden decor are $1.50 each at Dollar Tree. Costco is selling decorations of a similar springtime vibe — larger but still similar — for $124.99 each: a female rabbit figurine and a male rabbit figurine. 

Storage Containers 

Storage containers for office and craft supplies and other household items will generally cost you less at Dollar Tree. These highly rated clear storage boxes with handles and lids cost $1.50 per unit. Meanwhile, Costco sells these popular, larger clear bins for $44.99 for a six pack — that’s about $7.50 a bin, although larger, you could get five of the dollar tree ones for the same $7.50.
