4 Dollar Tree Items Worth Purchasing Now

If you only think of Dollar Tree as a place for “cheap stuff,” you might be missing out on some truly great deals. Regular shoppers know that there are excellent items worth purchasing if you know where to look.

Dollar Tree, in fact, has plenty of budget-friendly, high-quality merchandise for use around the home, allowing you to skip the more expensive big-box and department stores for things you use every day or on special occasions.

Just what are some of the aisles with items that should catch your eye? Read on to learn more about high-quality items available at Dollar Tree.

“Dollar Tree has a wide selection of drinkware, from coolers and tumblers that are surprisingly stylish to plastic drinkware that’s great for kids and adults alike,” said Julie Ramhold, consumer analyst with DealNews. “But one area the store really shines is with its specialty glassware — Dollar Tree has not only wine and champagne glasses but also margarita glasses, Irish coffee mugs, daiquiri glasses, martini glasses and dessert shot glasses.

“Obviously, you don’t have to use these for cocktails — they can be used for desserts or just serving up whatever beverage you want in a fancy way. And at $1.25 each, you can’t beat the price, as you can get exactly the number you need without having to buy multiple sets.”

All year long, you have opportunities to give greeting cards, from birthdays to teacher appreciation, condolences and thank you cards. It’s not a bad idea to keep a bunch of these on hand, so you don’t have to run out every time an occasion presents itself.

The problem is, the average Hallmark greeting card can run you between $3.99 and $9.99 per card! Dollar Tree saves you significantly by offering these name brand cards at a hot deal of two for $1.

If you love fresh flowers or decorate with dried arrangements, why stick with one boring, all-purpose vase?

“Creating centerpieces for whatever occasion you want is affordable, and you have a ton of styles to choose from, including hurricane style, bud vases, floral bowls and even plastic terrarium globes,” Ramhold said of the Dollar Tree selection. “With that kind of variety, there’s bound to be a vase that works for whatever project you’re planning.”

Bubble wrap, padded mailing envelopes, cellophane, tape — all of the supplies you need to put just about anything in the mail do not come cheaply at your average office supply store. And half the time you do buy them there, they come in bulk amounts, when you only need a handful of say, manila envelopes.

Dollar Tree has you covered, offering just about any item you’d need for mailing small items or letters from your own home, at just $1.25 each.
