    Hello Katherine. We use the mini snap containers for small FIRST AID KITS for the homeless. My friend made about 50 of them and donated them to my ministry. The kit included band-aids, alcohol wipes, gauze, and she cut and filled straws with antibiotic ointment and melted the edges with a lighter to close. Our outdoor friends LOVED them.
    God bless you!

      Hi Josilinia. Thank you for your message. I appreciate you reaching out. I'm glad you love the idea.
      If you plan to share with people who are homeless and on the streets... the container is a perfect size to tuck under your car seat or in your glove box... so when you see someone in need on the streets you can hand them a granola bar, water bottle and first aid kit. It's also a great gift for your entire family and friends for Christmas or a get-to-gether. They will appreciate a mini first aid kit in their back packs for school, camping, hiking or baby bag. Even though we are prepared for a minor accident, let's pray noone needs it. Amen.
      God bless you.

      In suburban areas the “cheapest” thing they do is Target. So that means fuller stocked shelves and availability. Tho what I’ve noticed is the party favors n items are most popular in these communities at DT n DG.
      They most be doing something right if their stock shares together are larger then Walmart & Target combined!

    Those door alarms were a lifesaver for us! I have a son who's severely Autistic and when he was a few years old he was always running out the door rain, snow, sleet or shine those alarms helped us out alot! I even had to put them on his window because he would open his window and throw out his toys and since he was in the second floor I was afraid of him trying to jump out! 😬Again those alarms were a blessing!

    I put the whole splatter screen, knob down, in the bottom of our larger plant pots supported by 4 to 6 tile pieces. I want an air barrier in the bottom. Even though they have drain holes, the splatter screen stops fine soil from running out and prevents against the 2" packed layer that plants will develop over time. That layer never drains keeping the roots in a swampy mess. But not with a slater screen!

    Just wanted to bring up that what’s at the dollar tree near you really depends on the socioeconomic level of the area. Low income area Dollar Stores do not have the same quality stuff as the stores in mid/high income areas. Would love to see some videos like this at a Dollar Tree in a low income area. Money saving hacks mean even more to those communities 😊

      I'm in a low income area in an inner-city and it's not as though they do not have these things, but rather, that they hire people who couldn't give a ❤️ and it's all piled in massive heaps while the cashiers just sit there doing nothing other than complaining. The only thing people seemed to buy there was the cheap, crappy food. Went way out in the county and was blown away by the really cool stuff they had! Thankfully now that I have a car, I have this as an option, but as to the community, no, for the most part videos like these are on a different planet of priorities.

      Nope, not necessarily true that crappy DT stores are in low socioeconomic areas. I live in Roanoke TX, where the median household income is $100,888 per the 2020 census, and the Roanoke DT store is messy and poorly stocked.

    I used the plastic snap containers for a lot of things. I use them inside games to store all the cards and pieces, decks of cards, dice. I use them in my desk to hold thumb drives and memory cards. I made a cleaning kit for my daughter to carry a cloth and small bottle of glasses cleaner to throw in her bookbag. She has another one with her adapters and power cable for her tablet for school. I have one with clippers, a nail file, hair tie and sometimes jewelry on my nightstand. (Anything tiny that I use or remove right before bed that the cat steals while I sleep) I have a few empty ones ready to hold pieces whenever I get around to opening my diamond dot kit. At work I have sugar for coffee in one, flash drives in another and most used screwdriver bits in another. I almost forgot the ones I have in my bathroom for travel with cotton balls, qtips, floss picks and bandaids. I also have one with matches with the camping gear to keep them dry.

      Glad I read down to this comment because I was about to say the exact same thing….my mother in law has a camper in their back yard just so their guests and family have a place to stay when they (we) visit…..so each of us have our own containers we just bring our soap that way no one is using others soap (cause that’s gross lol) but also she wouldn’t want soap in their getting rank if she doesn’t have visitors for a while….she has each one of the kids their own little box she keeps in her house and she goes to the camper and decorated it depending on who is coming to stay and leave our little box right there so as soon as we get their we can unpack (it’s also how she keeps track of the special little decor for each family’s style)….she is pretty great!!! Also since our drive is so long (we are the ones that are 14 hrs away-everyone else is three hours max) so we use them as little dog food snacks and once they finish their snack they drink water from them (another hack for thirsty pups on the road is they love to drink water out of the spray bottles lol so we have those in the car too)

    Another gr8 Dollar Tree video Katherine.... as ALWAYS!!! 😉 However I found in this video that the most comforting & compassionately connected part was when you showed the clip of dropping & breaking an item in the store! You could gave edited it out,, but you didn't! And Thank You for that!! Let's be honest, I think just about every single one of us has dropped & broke something in a store. Which we then become embarrassed & shamed, even tho it was completely an accident. We didn't deliberately throw it down to break it & draw unwanted attention & judgement from others to be placed upon us. Nor to have immediate urges & panic to flood over us making pleas to pay for it (or clean it it up) or feeling that we should offer to. Only to be followed by overwhelming sorrow & agony sets in as we see an employee have to stop what they're doing to clean up your mess. Once more leaving us to feel as if we should the one cleaning up the mess we.... again.. "accidentally" made. (Poor Charlie handled it like a champ as tho it seemed! Again! Lol!!😉 My point being You are a person of admiration & inspiration for oh soooooo sooo many of us out here! It's because of those amazing qualities & characteristics, that you radiate a genuine kindness & peacefulness leaving an impression of perfection or gentleness or at the very least, probably someone who things like that would be less likely happen to. Which is silly of any of us to think, I know. We forget you're a normal human being just like the rest of us. You're not "perfect". Nor are you immune to the feelings of shame, embarrassment, guilt, or regret. So as much as you are loved, adored, admired, or depended upon by all of us out here, Thank You again for keeping it real & for the reality check! Cuz we're all just the same & in this together & there ain't a one of us better than another!😊😉 Much Love Chic!!!!!!!!! ✌💖😊
