4 Bath and Beauty Products That Are Cheaper at Dollar Tree Than Target

There is a lot of fantastic shopping to be done at Target. It’s well known that you can try to stop by to pick up one thing only to walk out with several bags full of great buys that don’t break your budget. However, Target does not have the market cornered on bath and beauty products. 

In fact, Dollar Tree often can go toe to painted toe with Target in terms of offering better deals on makeup, bathing products and other beauty items.

Here are the four bath and beauty products that are cheaper at Dollar Tree than Target.

Dollar Tree’s bath loofahs come in a variety of multicolor options and cost $1.25, whereas Target’s bath loofahs start around $2.00 and, depending on the brand and quality, can go up to around $5.00.

Going to Dollar Tree ensures that you have a smooth shopping experience, as well as smooth skin from your new exfoliating tool you saved money on purchasing. Plus, you get to pick from a variety of color options, like green, purple, pink and blue.

You never know what you’ll need a cotton swab for, which is why it’s always great to have some handy for applying cosmetics and cleaning off parts of your body and face. But why spend more than twice as much on Q-Tip cotton swabs at Target when you can get the same number of 100% cotton swabs at Dollar Tree?

Make sure to pick some up for every bathroom in your house the next time you shop at Dollar Tree. One Dollar Tree shopper commented, “These have become my favorite … as of late. They don’t leave a bunch of cotton particles in my ears like most other brands.”

• Price at Dollar Tree: $1.25 for an all-in-one cosmetic pencil and pressed powder set
• Price at Target: $6.00 for just a pressed powder

Adding a bit of makeup to your face while being on the go can be a hassle if you have to put a set together. Luckily, Dollar Tree offers the L.A. Colors Expressions cosmetic pencils and pressed powders set for only $1.25 — complete with assorted beige, tan and nude pressed powder and a pink satin all-in-one lipstick, blush and eyeshadow pencil. Compare that with E.l.f. Beauty’s low-cost pressed powder compact at Target for $6.00, and you’ll see the difference right on your face.

One Dollar Tree shopper gave it a five-star review, raving, “The simple full-mirror (my very favorite part of the product design) snap compact is easy to carry in pockets or small bags, and the design is very classic and attractive … It has some high quality staying power to boot, and beats higher priced products of its class that I have tried by far.”

• Price at Dollar Tree: $1.25 for an 8-ounce bottle
• Price at Target: $18.99 for a 7.9-ounce bottle

One of the staples of your bath and beauty routine should be moisturizer. At Dollar Tree, a bottle of B-Pure moisturizing body lotion is a fraction of the cost of an AmLactin daily nourish body lotion available at Target. The bottles have nearly the same amount of lotion, but you actually get a bit more in the bottle — and in your wallet — with the Dollar Tree option.

An anonymous five-star review exclaimed, “It’s only $1.25! Can you believe it?” It went on to thank the discount retailer “for being the unexpected hero” in their skincare routine.
