Our Favorite Dollar Store Finds

Last updated on October 9th, 2019 at 11:39 pm

Almost everyone has a dollar store in their neighborhood, and if you’ve shopped in one, you’ve probably noticed that the quality of the products they stock can vary. If you know what to look for though, you can get good quality items (and often the same brands you normally buy) at a tremendous savings!

Here are some of my favorite things to buy at the dollar store:

where to buy cleaning supplies
Cleaning supplies, like window cleaner, sponges, scrub brushes, mops, brooms, “Swiffer” cloths,etc.

best place to buy drugstore products
Drugstore items – I often find name brand deodorant, kids’ shampoos, toothpaste, and more. It’s very hit and miss as to what you’ll find, but always worth a look.

Dollar Tree party supplies
Party supplies like gift bags, wrapping paper, tissue paper, paper plates and utensils, favors, and decorations.

where to buy greeting cards
Greeting cards, note cards, thank-you notes, etc.

best place to buy umbrellas
Umbrellas — I don’t know if the umbrellas sold at the dollar stores are very high-quality, but I seem to break or lose them no matter how much they cost.

best place to buy office supplies
Office and school supplies, like paper clips, sticky notes, legal pads, tape, rulers, and more.

where to buy holiday decorations
Seasonal items like Christmas wrapping paper, ribbons and bows, stockings, Easter baskets, Halloween decorations, etc.
