For something that literally goes right back into the garbage can, trash bags can be super expensive – but not at the dollar store.
They sell both store and name brand, the latter of which is typically sold in smaller quantities than you’ll find at the grocery, but they’re still a good deal.
Storage Boxes
Using plastic storage boxes to organize things in drawers, closets, and under beds, can make life a lot easier. But those storage bins can cost an arm and a leg at stores like Target, etc. Something you would find for between $8 and $12 only costs $1 here!
That’s definitely an offer that’s way too good to pass up on. And, if you find yourself staring at an empty area on the shelf where the boxes are supposed to be – you can always order them from Dollar Tree’s website!
Books
With Amazon, many people are simply reading free eBooks on their Kindles today. But for those of you who still prefer to hold a physical book in your hands – you don’t have to spend a fortune for the privilege, at least, not for any of the books you’ll find in your local dollar store.
The coolest part is you can find both paperbacks and hardcover copies of some great stories for a fraction of the price you’d pay at a bookstore.
Coffee Mugs
Plain ceramic mugs are good for so much more than just coffee and tea. You can microwave soup and oatmeal in them, etc., which makes them a smart investment when you need to feed the family without breaking the bank.
You’ll find some solid color varieties along with some funny graphics if they’re more your style.
Caramels
While you’re still hanging around the candy aisle, make sure you take a look around for the caramels.
Stock up and keep some handy for the next time you feel like baking some extra-delicious cookies (if you can keep from eating them all straight, of course.)
