I feel like there's a lot of people who look down on the Dollar store. I'm not quite sure why, but I am guessing that they think that it's all cheap stuff. And yes--some of it is.However, there are a lot of products for sale at the dollar store that many of us use everyday. With such a negative stigma around dollar stores, many people choose to go to target and pay 5 or 6x more for the exact same thing. Most of these items are included on the following list:
1. Plates and cups
Probably 80% of the cups in my house are from the Dollar Tree...and we get compliments on them all the time!
2. Gift Wrap/ bows/boxes
This is a great way to save $ during the holidays
3. Party supplies
If you're planning a party on a budget, the dollar store is definitely the place to go.
4. School supplies and stationary
The dollar store often sells the exact same pens/pencils as CVS or Staples but just at a reduced price.
5. Tupperware
You can find some really unique containers for school/work lunches at the Dollar store.
6. Cleaning Supplies
You would be surprised at how many brand-name cleaning supplies you can get for only a dollar!
7. Movie Theater Snacks
No more $6 sodas and $8 popcorn…..
8. Cooking Supplies
Okay, maybe you won't find high-quality pots and pans. BUT, if you're a college student looking to do some occasional cooking...that $150 pot from Williams Sonoma is probably not worth it!
