8 Things We Love to Buy at the Dollar Store

Your local Dollar General, Dollar Tree, or other dollar store can be a great source of inexpensive goods that can save you tons of money.

Some items are a better deal than others, though, so it’s good to go in with a plan. Next time you hit up the dollar store, keep an eye out for these items!

1.

Certain toiletries and personal items

While some generic toiletries are best avoided at the dollar store, there are quite a few that can save you big bucks.

Q-tips and cotton balls are pretty much the same wherever you get them, but they cost much less at the dollar store. Reading glasses, sunglasses, and toothbrushes (especially ones for kids) are a steal.

Cleaning supplies

Whether you’re cleaning the couch, your bathroom, or clothes, you can find just about any cleaning supply you need at the dollar store. This is a great way to try out a new cleaner that you’re not sure about.

2.

Baking supplies

If it’s time to bake cookies or bars, stop at the dollar store first. You can get aluminum foil, parchment paper, and wax paper. Disposable aluminum baking trays can also be picked up in packs here.

3.

Food storage

As long as you can find BPA-free food storage, get all you need at the dollar store. They often have name brand items, like Betty Crocker.

4.

This makes it less of a hassle when you don’t get your food storage back from people. I also love to snag my food storage and sandwich bags.

Party Supplies

These are so cheap (well, $1) and perfect for kids birthdays and get-togethers. I have even noticed a lot of character supplies. Totally worth the $1 you will spend vs several elsewhere.
