When it comes to low prices and high quality, you might think that you need to head to Amazon to fill up your cart with everyday essentials, gifts, and little luxuries. However, before you log on, stop by Dollar Tree first to check out the aisle of shelves filled with great buys that not only beat Amazon when it comes to quality, but cost as well.

Here are top Dollar Tree items that outshine Amazon in price and quality.

Conditioner

Conditioner

  • Price: $1.25

Every hair on your head needs a little bit of boost, but when you shop at Dollar Tree, you can pick up a 28-ounce bottle of Personal Care moisture rich conditioner with vitamin E for only $1.25, beating out the same sized bottle of Amazon Basics soft and sleek conditioner for dry or damaged hair at $4.19. Plus, the conditioner from Dollar Tree now comes with a new and improved formula to leave your hair feeling like it just came from the salon.

Throw Blanket

Throw Blanket

  • Price: $6

Not just any throws-glow in the dark blankets that will light up after you flip the switch. At Dollar Tree, you can get 60- by 50-inch glow-in-the-dark polyester throws for $6 each and available in four different, fun patterns. Compare that to Amazon’s glow-in-the-dark blanket which only comes in one style at the same size for $14.99 and the answer is pretty clear on who is the winner.

Food Containers

Food Containers

  • Price: $6

Where are you going to store your leftovers? It’s either going to be in one of the 14 options contained in the C.O.S. round food container set from Dollar Tree for just $6 or Amazon’s set of four food storage containers with lids that goes for $16.99. Between the amount of storage, quality of materials and color options to help you keep track of everything you have in your kitchen, the answer can be found at Dollar Tree.

Twist Mop

Twist Mop

  • Price: $7

It’s a dirty job, so you don’t need to be overpaying for the wrong mop to not get the job done. Shopping at Dollar Tree, you’ll find the Standard Essentials twist mop available for only $7 and a five-star customer review. If you try to find a comparable mop on Amazon, the closest you can get in terms of price is $12.98 for the Eyliden twist mop that only had 3.5 out of 5 stars when it comes to customer reviews and satisfaction.
