Dollar Tree

The dollar store is the best place for party supplies. Everything you need and didn’t think you would need would be in the store for only $1. I used to spend so much money buying party favors at other party stores for the kids now that I can filled the loot bags with tons of toys for only a fraction of the costs. Other than party needs, it has many other things such as houseware, cleaning products and as I mentioned before…things that you don’t think you need, you would ended up buying because it is only $1. more

$1 stores are full to the brim with items you "need" and items you "want". A sampling of things I buy here: holiday/party paper plates, napkins, etc., (for entertaining and just for fun - the kids love them), zip-lock bags, plastic food containers, (great for taking to parties - who cares if you leave them), toys, (cheap but great when you need something basic), stickers, art supplies, play-doh, wrapping paper & ribbon, cheap gifts, (picture frames, knick-knacks, etc.) They have food too and I've only purchased snack items but I suppose most of it would be o.k. (thanks to the over processed, long shelf life world we live in) although I would recommend checking the expiration date. If you decide to make the Dollar Tree your main shopping location (and I guess I'm kidding here) be sure to compare prices. Some things, foil paper, for example, are cheaper at Target. The Dollar Tree carries more name brand items than other $1 stores I've been in and this location happens to be right by my gym, so it's one of my favorites. NOTE: The word "cheap" has been used several times in this review and there's no sense in denying it, some of the things are cheap but hey, for a dollar, can you really go wrong! more
