Independence Day is right around the corner, making now the perfect time to pick up all things red, white and blue ahead of holiday price hikes. Skip the holiday chaos of big-box stores and enjoy a much smaller dent in your wallet by shopping at Dollar Tree instead.
For party treats that keep holiday spirits high and prices low, head straight to the Dollar Tree snack aisle. Here are 5 affordable, festive and flavorful expert-approved picks for your Fourth of July celebration.
Wyler’s Italian Ice Berry and Cherry Assorted Freezer Bars (10 ct.)
- Price: $1.25
Made with budget-friendly ingredients — mostly water — these popsicles are a summer lifesaver for adding festive flair to your holiday without draining your wallet.
“Check your store for red, white and blue freezer pops like the Wyler’s Italian Ice Pops that feature strawberry, blueberry and lemonade flavors,” said Melissa Cid, consumer savings expert at MySavings. “These are the perfect cool treat on a hot day.”
At just $1.25 for a 10-pack, each pop costs only $0.13 — now that’s a pretty sweet summer deal.
Takis Blue Heat Tortilla Chips
- Price: $1.25
Got spicy chip lovers on the guest list? Grab a pack of Blue Takis to bring the heat while staying on theme.
“Grab your favorite red, white and blue chips such as Doritos, Takis and Tortilla chips for a patriotic, salty and crunchy snack mix,” Cid said. “This is a snack teens will especially love!”
Everyone loves a good handful of snack mix, and the red and blue Takis make for a bold addition that turns up the heat. At just $0.63 per ounce, you’ll get fiery flavor at a budget-friendly price.
Pop Secret Popcorn, Movie Theater Butter Microwave Popcorn (3 ct.)
- Price: $1.25
Fuss-free, delicious and crowd-pleasing, this Pop Secret popcorn is perfect for tiding guests over before the main meal — or for something to munch on during fireworks.
“Movie theater popcorn is only $1.25 for a box of three and is the perfect all-American treat,” Cid said. “Pair it with one of the many Fourth of July snack containers, bowls and cups that Dollar Tree carries.”
Easy to elevate for parties, this snack is a highly wallet-friendly buy. At just $0.41 per bag, value has never tasted better.
Twizzlers Strawberry Flavored Twists
- Price: $1.25
Add a touch of nostalgia to your snack spread with festively-colored Twizzlers.
“Candy is always a good choice!” Cid said. “Choose a red and blue candy mix that doesn’t melt like red Twizzlers and Blue Raspberry Starbursts!”
Feeling extra festive? Use the Twizzlers as straws for drinks to cut down on plastic and keep things playful. At only $0.25 per ounce, it’s a pretty sweet deal.
Benzel’s Pretzel Rods, 8 oz. Bags
- Price: $1.25
Want to get creative? Grab these Pretzel Rods and dip them in vanilla or chocolate frosting, then top with red and blue sprinkles for a low-cost dessert that adds major wow factor to your snack table.
At $0.16 per ounce, enjoy them on their own or jazz things up with toppings. Whether you enjoy them during the fireworks or while watching the parade, these salty snacks put a festive twist on a classic snack.
