Were you aware that you can buy pregnancy tests at the dollar store? You may question the reliability of such a test, but they’re actually over 99% accurate, which is no less than you’d get with any other drugstore test.
And if the results come back positive, you’re going to be glad you saved as many of those dollars as possible.
Plates
Whether you’re moving into a new place, getting a housewarming gift for someone who is, or you just need some new plates, why spend a fortune on them when you can get a pretty set from the dollar store? You could spend $30-$80 or even more on plates depending on where you look, but unless having nice plates is extremely important to you, this is definitely the way to go.
They even have several different collections available that appeal to different tastes, including the brightly colored Santa Fe collection, and the blue and white Paisley Dinnerware Collection.
Buckets
No matter what you need a plastic bucket for, whether you’re taking the kids to the beach for the day or you need some new gardening supplies, the dollar store has you covered! They offer an array of sizes, shapes, styles, and colors for every occasion. Around holidays you can also find things like Easter baskets to stuff with goodies!
Like cleaning supplies and storage bins, plastic buckets will be far less expensive at dollar stores than at most other retailers. They’re great for indoor or outdoor cleaning, or washing the car.
Cotton Rounds
Whether you use them to take off your makeup, clean your pet’s ears, or remove nail polish, cotton rounds are super handy to have around the house. You can get 80 of them for a dollar at Dollar Tree, so why not?
After all, who wants to spend $3 on something that’s just going to go right back in the trash after it’s been used?
Hair Bands
If you’re like most of us with long hair, you probably always have a hair tie or two around your wrist at all times. Unfortunately, even the good hair ties can snap in a heartbeat, so you may as well buy the cheap ones and save a few bucks!
You can grab a pack of 30 (black or multicolored) for just a buck. It never hurts to have extra hair ties lying around. Next time you’re perusing the dollar store make sure you take a stroll down the hair accessory aisle.
