I wanted to do a little thing on the dollar tree here in butte, (it's between quality supply and walmart if you've never been). There are alot of things that you can get here WAY cheaper than anywhere else. Here are just a few things I regularly get there rather than elsewhere:
-cold lunch fillers (my favorite is the 6 pack of peanuts since my son loves them)
- makeup (yes this may sound strange but they get shipments of name brand items all the time, they may have your favorite. I've seen sally hansen, covergirl, e.l.f., etc)
- toothpaste, packs of floss picks, and toothbrushes (they have a pack of 6 for $1)
-kitchen utensils, sandwich bags, etc.
-pet products (they have leashes, toys, dog bowls, and I've actually found that their urine remover spray works better than the $20 bottle at petsmart)
-paint brushes, sandpaper, tools
-toys (my kids will break it no matter how expensive it was so I figure $1 is better than $20. And I like that I can send my 7 yr old to pick anything off the shelf and not have to say no because of price)
-birthday party and wedding supplies
-over the counter medicines (they have children's benadryl and almost any supplement you can think of)
They get new shipments every week, so if you ever get a chance, you should take a walk through. You'd be very suprised what you can find for $1!
