Imminent snowstorms mean smart shopping beforehand for your household.

And don’t overlook Dollar Tree for grocery shopping on a budget before the next snowstorm. Here are six of the best types of grocery items to grab at Dollar Tree right now.

Water

Water is a top grocery essential to pick up ahead of any snowstorm. Prepare to aim for at least 1 gallon per person per day. Dollar Tree sells an abundance of water options, including a gallon of Crystal Geyser for $1.25. 

Canned Goods

Canned goods are staples during weather events, and Dollar Tree delivers on options. It has canned goods from Chef Boyardee, Campbell’s, Del Monte, Libby’s and Hunts, so you’ll have nonperishable food through a power outage.

Granola Bars

Granola bars are another good nonperishable option to pick up before a snowstorm. When it comes to granola bars at Dollar Tree, you’ve got relatively healthy and versatile options, including quinoa bars, fruit and grain bars, chocolate chip bars and Nutri-Grain bars.

Bread

You can stock up on loaves of both whole wheat and white bread at Dollar Tree too. At $1.50 per loaf, they’re a steal. For that low price, you can grab a few and stick them in the fridge for longer-lasting freshness. 

Peanut Butter

Don’t let your energy wane just because the power’s out. Protein sources like peanut butter and other peanut snacks, like Nutter Butter bites and Ritz peanut butter crackers, can keep you feeling full for longer.

Crackers

Dollar Tree offers plenty of shelf-stable snacking essentials too — perfect to keep in the pantry during power outages. Shoppers can find saltines, Cheez-Its, oyster crackers and honey graham crackers for just $1.25 each.
