good finds at the dollar store

16 September 2014

You all know I love the dollar store. I even did a whole post on some of my favorite finds. I had not been to the dollar tree in a LONG time (months, which is a record for me) and I needed some clips for my hot rollers, so it was a good excuse to go in and browse. Here are some fun finds that may be at your dollar tree:

Shugar Soapworks soap -- this is a big bar of soap, so pretty, made in the USA, no parabens, made from essential oils and plant-based ingredients. What a great little gift or to fill a glass jar in the bathroom. They sell for sell for $8 a bar on Amazon!

Is anyone you know into duct tape projects? Stock up! These are great for stocking stuffers or throw a bunch together for a gift.

Essie nail stickers!! The exact ones are $10 at Target. Again, stocking stuffers or a sweet gift with a nail file.essie nail stickers dollar tree

Orange tin buckets: I am a sucker for tins. Use them for wheat or some pretty yellow mums -- what a fun pop of color.

Drawer organizers -- our desk drawer needs some help:

And this fold out turkey is purely sentimental. My Grandma had one and I thought it would be fun for the kids' table at Thanksgiving.

I'm not affiliated with the Dollar Tree in any way, although I should be by now. :) Have you found anything fun at the dollar store lately?

  5. A couple of people I know have bought cute Halloween striped paper straws at DT lately. Haven't seen them myself but I'm hoping to go soon before they're all gone!

  6. I was at the dollar tree just the other day, now that you mention it! I found some clear bins for my boys' socks, some hydrogen peroxide (always a great staple) and some epsom salts that, as it turns out, did not smell all that soothing. And a brush that I dropped and broke the first time I tried to use it. But hey, you win some, you lose some, right? Adventures in bargain shopping! =) Thanks Melissa!

  8. It's the cheapest place in town for balloons. We let the kids get one-per-year-they-are-old on their birthday. I love walking out of there with a big bouquet. It's also a favorite for little toys that look cute on top of birthday cakes or for a simple stack of items for a kid's birthday party.

  9. Hey Melissa! You will have to read my recent post about dollar tree bargains too! I must have found the soap around the same time you did. I found some other great stuff too. http://thepinkpeonyoflejardin.blogspot.com/2014/09/dollar-tree-bargains.html

  10. 1. Sudoku books - they are a bathroom essential, and cost 4 times as much at other stores. 2. Balloons - my gosh, what a bargain and they bring in specialty ones for graduations along with all holidays 3. Books - they may have been bestsellers 15 years ago, or a mild-seller, but I hate to take a library book when I travel, so this is a great bargain for a clean new book 4. Yes, the orange tins are adorable - I am planning a pumpkin baby shower and the wheels are turning
