Don't sleep on Dollar Tree. I mean the bougie person in you may want to disassociate yourself from…read moresomething perceived as low quality or for the masses, but I gotta tell you. There are so many gems here. Admittedly, not all dollar trees are created equal, and I literally leave my town to shop at this one. The store is spacious, clean and well organized. I detest going to junky stores where everything is all mixed up, battered and abused. This is where you want to be if you're planning a kid's party. Skip expensive party stores, this place has everything you need for cheap. I bought ballons, streamers, unicorn themed paper plates, napkins and so much more. Heck, I even threw in a random plushie, unicorn basket, crayons, and squishy things.
There are lots of name brand items. Careful through, some things that are $1.25 are actually more than you would typically spend at the local grocery store. Additionally, one thing that caught me was that nowadays, there are $3, $4 and $5 dollar items, so make sure you pay attention. Naturally, plan to spend more than the 2-3 items you came for. This trip, I actually only came for scotch tape and yeah $0 bucks later I finally shuffled to the checkout counter.
Note: If you are a senior or person with a disability, you may want to bring a rolling cart/bag. You can't take the shopping cart to the parking, so if you have a large haul, it may be tough to carry all the bags. Half the carts have wonky wheels.
