It is no surprise if you have been reading my blog for awhile, you know that I LOVE the Dollar Tree. I even recently became an affiliate because I spend so much time there, and love sharing about all the fun things I find. While at the store recently, I realized how many every day items I always go to buy at the Dollar Tree, before I go anywhere else. Here are the items I recommend you check out.

GIFT BAGS
The Dollar Tree is the definite place to go if need a gift bag. They have an entire wall of amazing bags of all sizes, themes, and designs. They have birthday bags, wedding bags, baby shower bags, holiday bags and more. You can buy giant bags for only $1 that can cost several dollars at other stores.
WRAPPING PAPER
Instead of paying high prices on wrapping supplies, the Dollar Tree has big selection of wrapping paper, gift boxes, ribbon, tissue paper and bows. I would much rather only spend only a $1 on something that is going to be ripped and thrown away after opening.
Greeting cards is another item that I always look for at the Dollar Tree, especially if it is for a younger person who cares a lot more about the gift than the cards that come with it. Dollar Tree carries Hallmark cards for all occasions. The heartline cards are 2 for $1. There are some specialty cards and other cards that are $1 each, but even at $1, a lot cheaper than other stores.
PARTY SUPPLIES
I always go to the Dollar Tree for party supplies of all kinds. There are two aisles dedicated to party supplies, not only to do that have many colors to choose from, they also have many themes.
Recently the party aisle has expanded to include baby shower items, wedding/engagement party items, party favors, back drops, photo props, specialty balloons and more. (I have an upcoming post with a lot more info on the party supplies that will be posted shortly.
CRAFT SUPPLIES
Every Dollar Tree now has a crafter square with a variety of craft supplies. While not all Dollar Trees have the same size Crafter Square aisle, you can find paint, paintbrushes, small canvases, wood to paint, yarn, and lots of miscellaneous items. I always check for craft supplies at Dollar Tree, before paying higher prices at the regular craft store.
BOOKS
I check the book section on every single visit. I have found some amazing finds for only $1. I especially love their cookbooks. If you would like to see some of my book finds, I wrote about them in post about cookbooks here. I have also recently found, best sellers, craft books, design books and celebrity biographies.
CLEANING SUPPLIES
You can save a lot of money buying cleaning supplies at the Dollar Tree. I love their 6 pack of scrubbing sponges and dish brushes.
TOILETRIES
Cotton balls, Q-tips, and cotton rounds can really add up if you buy them at the big box store or drugstore. They don't have to though, because the Dollar Tree has large size packages of them for only $1.
I buy all of my toothbrushes and toothpaste at the Dollar Tree. They carry brand names, often in multi-packs for a fraction of the cost. If you are traveling, they also carry many travel appropriate toiletries and containers.
MAKE UP
Did you know that the Dollar Tree carries brand name make up? While you might not find everything you need, you can find Wet n Wild, and ELF all the time, and occasionally Maybelline, Flower and Hard Candy. I also really like the LA Colors brand that is the store's main brand.
FACE MASKS
While I do not have a picture of the face mask section, I buy all of my faces masks at the Dollar Tree. I am sharing this picture of the Oh K Hyaluronic Acid with Vitamin B3 and Sea Kelp Hyrogel Mask because I am very excited about this find. After I bought this mask and loved it when using it, I found out it is sold at Meijer for $6.99. Score! I got mine for only $1.
HAIR ACCESSORIES
If you have longer hair or girls, you must stop by the hair accessory aisle. I get everything I need for my hair for a low price, and they are frequently name brands like Goody and Scuncii
Here is a closer pic of some of the name brands that are a much higher price at big box stores.
CONTACT PAPER
Dollar Tree has a large selection of contact in several different styles. I like to use it as drawer liner or in the fridge. While I have not seen it in my store, they sold a chalkboard version not too long again.
ORGANIZATION/STORAGE
You can't go wrong buying storage containers at the Dollar Tree. They have many different styles, colors and sizes. My store was a little low on stock in this picture, but the spring and summer storage lines are really good this year. The spring colors are pink, peach and light gray, and the summer bright blue, teal, and bright pink. You can see many of the options on DollarTree.com here
FLOWERS
FOOD STORAGE
I have to pack my lunch to school every day, and there a food containers of all shapes and sizes in multipacks perfect for my lunchbox. They even carry name brand products like Rubbermaid and Betty Crocker.
GLASSWARE
If you ever need glassware, you can find what you need at the Dollar Tree. Stemware for a dinner party, they have it. Margarita glasses for Cinco de Mayo, they have those those. (heavy duty amazing ones) Decorative jars, or mason jars, they have them too.
KITCHEN ITEMS AND GADGETS
Many items from their kitchen aisle are currently in my kitchen. I love their strainers, and mixing bows with handle. I have serving and cooking tools like spatulas, tongs and scissors. I have their measuring cups and spoons. I also use their cutting boards, paper towel holders and so much more.
CANDY
I hit the candy aisle quite often. I stop there when I want to have a variety of candy to decorate cupcakes, gingerbread houses, or special treats. I hit this aisle before movie night, road trips or just want a snack. The bags are a little smaller than the regular store, but that's okay because so is the price.
SNACKS
I also hit the snack aisle. They carry regular size chip cans, Chex mixes and even brand name cookie mixes like Betty Crocker. Do you like ice cream? If your Dollar Tree has a freezer section, you can find portion size containers of Snicker Twix and other brand name flavors of ice cream.
SEASONAL
One of my favorite things to buy at the Dollar Tree are the seasonal items. It is the perfect place to find basket fillers, stocking stuffers, and even holiday decor.
This year I was missing a box of our ornaments when I wanted to decorate for Christmas. Instead of worrying about where they were I decided to decorate our tree with Dollar Tree buffalo plaid and red truck ornaments. I think it was one of my favorite trees to date. The missing ornaments did eventually turn up after I had already decorated the tree, so they stayed in the box this year.
One last thing that I love about the Dollar Tree. If you are trying to find something and you can't find it at your store, you can order it on the website and have it shipped to your local store for FREE. I had a really good experience when I have ordered and currently ordering again because I need a certain item for a craft that I am making that recently sold out.
What are you favorite things to buy at the Dollar Tree?
