Spring is in full swing, and so are the garden-related items at Dollar Tree. Retirees on a budget know not to drag their feet because the shelves won’t stay stocked for long.
Here’s what to look for before the store sells out.
Plastic Hanging Hummingbird Feeder
- Price: $1.50
Bird watching is an entertaining pastime to have in retirement. At this price, it’s worth buying several of these red and yellow plastic hanging hummingbird feeders. Red is attractive to hummingbirds because they associate it with high-quality nectar, according to the National Audubon Society.
Transparent Bird Feeder
- Price: $5
Retirees who enjoy watching all kinds of birds will want to pick up more than one transparent bird feeder at $5 each. The hook on the top makes them easy to hang, and the clear container allows for effortless feed-level monitoring. Choose from black, gold or teal roofs.
Garden Collection Solar Stake Light
- Price: $1.50
Retirees looking to add a warm glow to their landscaping without energy costs will appreciate Dollar Tree’s garden collection solar stake light. Not only does it provide renewable energy, but it’s also a great buy. Buy a dozen for $18, which is often less than the cost of a boxed set at a big-box retailer.
Buzzy Grow Your Own Plant Kit
- Price: $1.50
Taking on the task of a full-blown garden may not be every retiree’s dream. A great alternative is the Buzzy Grow Your Own Plant Kit. Dollar Tree shoppers describe this item as good quality, easy and fun. Each kit comes with everything you need; just add water. Choose from the following plant options: coneflower, daisy, strawberry, sunflower, tomato or basil.
Buzzy Children’s My First Garden Growing Plant
- Price: $1.50
Retirees can get grandchildren in on the gardening fun with Buzzy Children’s My First Garden Growing Plant. Choose from the following varieties: baby carrots, marigold, sensitive plant, watermelon and zinnia.
