      the craft section is amazing :) its a bit further out, but i think i'll go there instead of dollarama, prices there are ridiculous, i like that most things at dollar tree are $1.50.... would like to make it a monthly visit :)

I'm assuming its the same owners? do you have other dollar stores or just the dollar tree... we have dollarama, there is three of them close to me, dollar tree a bit further out and we only have two in my city....both further away, i'm hoping they'll open one closer to me so i can go more often :)

    I just love Dollar Tree. I've had to ban myself from going in. There was a time when I would be in Dollar 🌳 1-2 times per week. I have that barbie shoe rack set at 2:07 & 2:45. If you paint it, it makes a great doll spice rack for the kitchen. I haven't seen that barbie tea set, I must go in this wknd and get it. I used the microfiber cloth at 3:54 and turned it into bedding for my doll's. If you hand-wash it gently and air dry it, it gets even softer and fluffier. Love that pillow idea at 10:25. You've just inspired my next craft. 😊

    I know other people have said this, too, but that is one of the best-stocked, best-organized dollar stores I've ever seen. I'd love to browse those crafting and toy sections 😍
    Also, I've had those exact same conversations with myself about not buying stuff I already have (7:48)... but also never having enough fabric (11:18) 😅 I think every crafter KNOWS they should use what they already have, but there's always that one craft item they just can't get enough of.

My husband actually grabbed me one when he took our son to Walmart today and I got the best one (to me, lol) that I really wanted... The mini zen garden. But Temu also has good stuff. I'm going with the lifestyle series and going to make a display with an antique printing press drawer.
