If you haven’t jumped on the “save the planet” bandwagon yet, you should, since single-use plastic is terrible for the environment. Enter: reusable shopping (tote) bags. You can store these bad boys in your trunk and take them with you wherever you’re doing your shopping, and you can rest easy knowing that you’re doing your part to reduce plastic waste.
Plus, they’re good for carrying other stuff, too, and handy to have around in general.
Flowerpots
Everyone should have plants in their home. They are not only good for our air; they liven up a room and make everything feel a bit cozier. And thanks to the dollar store, you can get two and three packs of smaller terracotta vases, along with some single larger ones, for just a dollar.
These make excellent starters for family crafts, too!
Feminine Hygiene Products
If you’re a man, you’ve already skipped to the next item, but if you’re a woman who still requires the use of pads and/or tampons, you know how expensive they can be, and it just seems unfair to have to pay so much for something that’s a health necessity.
Luckily, the folks at Dollar Tree understand the struggle. Here, you can find an eight-count of store-brand tampons or a 16-count of store-brand pads for just one dollar.
Socks
If you’re like most of us, you probably lose socks in the laundry quite frequently. At this point, it’s sort of just expected that the sock gnome will come and scarf one of them down every now and then, forcing us to buy more socks (or walk around mismatched.) Luckily, you don’t have to spend a ton of money every time this happens.
After all, it’s not like you need cashmere socks, right? Dollar Tree offers two and three packs of regular white socks alongside some cuter, printed pairs that cost $1/each.
Frames
You don’t need to spend a fortune on a frame to make your photos and paintings stand out. Isn’t that what the painting itself is for? So why not go light on your wallet for the frames?
Dollar Tree carries a lovely selection of different types, materials, and sizes of frames, all for just one dollar.
