Envelopes
Envelopes are something you should add to your next dollar store list. Depending on the size, you can get between 40-80 Mead envelopes for a single dollar – that’s an incredible deal!
They also carry bubble mailers and other types of mailing supplies for less than you’ll find elsewhere.
Art Supplies
Now, if you’re a serious artist that requires some serious art supplies, this may not work for you. But, if you’re just in need of some of the basics, like crayons, paintbrushes, colored pencils, glue, glitter, poster board, etc., the dollar store has you covered.
They have a pretty big craft aisle with everything you need to get through that project.
Candy
Candy is something that the dollar store has an awesome selection of, and all for $1 or less. They even sell some of the better name brand kind, although they may be smaller portions than what you find at other stores.
But they do sell things like six-packs of fun-sized Milky Ways and 1-ounce bars of Godiva. Their dollar selection of candy is way too good to walk past if you’re there!
Cough Drops
You may be scared of buying any kind of topical or pill type of medication from Dollar Tree, but they still carry some name-brand stuff that can help with certain types of ailments. Among some of the things you’ll find are HALLS cough drops.
They may be smaller quantities than you’ll find elsewhere, but they’re perfect for storing in your purse, pocket, or car when you’re feeling a bit under the weather.
Bleach
Bleach is bleach, no matter how much money you spend on it or what brand name it has slapped across the bottle. In this case, you can get 2.84 liters (96 ounces) for a dollar.
It’s a no-brainer, really. And that’s not the only cleaning supply you’ll save loads on by shopping at the dollar store. Keep in mind, though, that the bleach brands at the dollar store might have a smaller percentage of active ingredient and you could need something stronger for heavy-duty cleanup.
