Like Tupperware, food storage containers are something else that can be found at the dollar store. Here, you will find some excellent deals on plastic containers that really don’t need to be name brands to do their job well. Although they do sometimes have Betty Crocker and Ziploc (and other name brand items), depending on the store and time.
The dollar store offers all different sizes and styles of food storage to suit your needs. Dollar Tree even offers different sizes of packs, including a mini 10-pack of Sure Fresh storage containers.
Cough Drops
You may be scared of buying any kind of topical or pill type of medication from Dollar Tree, but they still carry some name-brand stuff that can help with certain types of ailments. Among some of the things you’ll find are HALLS cough drops.
They may be smaller quantities than you’ll find elsewhere, but they’re perfect for storing in your purse, pocket, or car when you’re feeling a bit under the weather.
Bleach
Bleach is bleach, no matter how much money you spend on it or what brand name it has slapped across the bottle. In this case, you can get 2.84 liters (96 ounces) for a dollar.
It’s a no-brainer, really. And that’s not the only cleaning supply you’ll save loads on by shopping at the dollar store. Keep in mind, though, that the bleach brands at the dollar store might have a smaller percentage of active ingredient and you could need something stronger for heavy-duty cleanup.
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.
