Those spring rolls are more delicious than they have any right to be! I do them 2 minutes in the microwave then I transfer them to a pan with cooking spray and crisp up the outside. So flaky and light!
Those Jennifer’s Garden egg rolls are seriously legit. They come 10 in a pack. I was skeptical but SO glad I bought a pack to try them. Air-fried them for 10 minutes total (Instant Pot air fryer lid), and guess what I did afterwards? Went back to DT and bought 3 more packs. 30 egg rolls for 3 bucks?? Heck yea!!!
DT always beats walmart. No parking in the back forty. No having to fight finding a parking spot. You don't have to check your own self out. I'll gladly pay a few pennies more
😊 I really appreciate you shopping for the rest of us. I hate to shop and do not have the time. You cover a range of products and there is something there for everyone. Thank you so much for taking the time and the positive energy you have about saving yourself and us money. Be well! 😁
There is actually so much you can use coupons on at dollar tree. Some coupons don't specify sizes those are gems. 50 cents off the jimmy dean products coupons comes out a lot as well.
Absolutely, a you save sooo much comparing it to the approximate size at the movie theater! No worries I do always buy the large popcorn buckets there, so they are getting $15 from me there...
If you’re on a tight budget, want a variety of items, Dollar Tree always beats Walmart. Why? Because I can’t afford to buy the larger size packages even though it’s a better buy. I need to buy small and get a better variety of items for my upcoming week. If I have a little extra left in my budget, I will try and buy a bigger item to stock my pantry, but that is not always an option
Same. I’m only cooking for me, and as nice as getting the better buy is, i appreciate the smaller portions. I don’t want to eat the same thing all the time
Also, if you are only cooking for one (or two) items like roasted red peppers (that I use, but not all that often) will go bad in the bigger size. So DT wins here too
I totally feel you on the DT items fitting my budget better even though the larger sizes may be a better deal. I also like the smaller items bc storage is a challenge in my tiny pantry.
I call our comfy retirement house "the dollar tree house" because we have had a dollar tree in our town for 20 years now and we've saved so much as to help us get this nicer house.
Yes on the spring rolls!! We load up on these and no complaints as we incorporate them with homemade or take out Asian entreees! Saves so much money !!
I'm glad to see the spring rolls on here. Mom and I found these about a year ago and couldn't believe how good they are....nice clean ingredients, also.
I pick up a jar of those red peppers every time I go into the Dollar Tree. I've added them to non-lettuce salads all summer long. They're also nice on a sandwich when it isn't tomato season.
The milk is great for 72 hour kits, camping and emergency milk when you run out and the kids don’t tell you! Lol. I buy at least 5-10 so I have it when the power goes out, when we go camping so I don’t need to worry about milk going bad, and when it gets close to expiration, I use it to cook or bake with!
@@homestatzfarmher8919 Here in germany, we mostly use milk of those type. I haven't had fresh refrigerated milk until I was 22. And I don't really taste any difference to be honest. I still buy it.
Thank you for sharing. I'M A WITNESS to the Spring Rolls and BBQ Lay's stacks being legit for years now. The textures and flavor of these are unbeaten in my book. Not wasting time convincing, I will be using my energy stocking up Honey!
I can’t get enough dollar tree! Shopping, diys creating clever crafts, watching videos like yours, hauls, shop with med, store tours. Making my own video of DT too. I just can’t get enough. Please keep your videos coming.
Honestly, getting a little cheapie rice cooker changed my world. I use it for rice (which is literally the best rice I've ever eaten not from a restaurant), yes, but for cooking for one or two people it's SO convenient and doesn't heat up the house. I also regularly make oatmeal and single servings of pasta or steam veggies, and can meal prep x8 hard boiled eggs for the week in one go. SO good.
From DT I want to add the frozen meatless meatballs, cauliflower rice, Celeste personal pizzas and chicken and pork potstickers. Also want to add Lysol concentrate that makes 5 gallons of all purpose sanitizing cleaner.
For about 3 years, we've had Moon Pies here in ND. We just love them. The packaging is just adorable! We put these in our birthday loot bags. Surprisingly the children have never tried them before and they loved them. I already knew about them from way back in the 60's as a girl brought these to our Girl Scout meeting for treats for all of us.
Loot bags are basically party favor bags that you give to each child when the birthday party has ended to take home and remember what a great day it was. I usually fill it with candy, moon pies, suckers, stickers and small toy. Oriental Trading Company has great ideas for small toys to add such as stuffed little puppies or kittens and much more. I figure the children are only young once, why not treat them all with great loot bags.
Those spring rolls are the real deal! There is no junk in the ingredients! And I think they taste better than other grocery store brands that cost 5X more.
Good to hear! I'm leary of buying any frozen food at any dollar stores after I got a bell pepper blend and was sick all night. I checked the package and found it was from China.😝
I was an assistant manager at a local DT for several years, and I love the Jennifer's Garden stuff! Oh and we have had the moon pies here in NW Minnesota since at least 2017.
Great idea they never have them or they're crushed. Will buy these and the Seaweed snacks 4/$1 and the premium nut blends and rice snacks.👍 TY! I never thought of this.
The spring rolls are delicious. I rummage thru the junk drawer to find leftover duck sauce packets from take out orders 😜 Also …. Be warned … the fudge mint cookies are just like GS cookies. So good.
Thank you! We are stocking our winter pantry...the deer have already changed to winter coats, so we are looking at a rough winter. We will be stocking up lots of broth, 🥯, lemon juice and pretzels
Deer are already changing their coats? I guess I had better get over there and stock up. Thanks for commenting. Not looking forward to winter. You're comment got me moving. 😊😊
I like their Jasmine rice, it always turns out light, fluffy and delicious. Rice is my kitchen nemesis and It never turns out right when I use the white or brown long grain rice. Also their frozen peppers and onions, asparagus and fruit for smoothies I feel like are great deals. Those spring rolls with some sweet chili sauce, YUM! And their seasonings are a great deal too! A lot of the time they have name brand overflow, like the Kingsford brand.
I will do anything, even if the price per cent being more, to not EVER give any of my money to Walmart! That's just me, someone who researches and what the general public doesn't know about that corporation is astounding. Their hands are in all the evils we're suffering from.

I'm a fan of the breakfast Barbeq frozen sandwich. Pit a few pickels and oioion And it reminds of McDonald's Mac rib sandwhich..and can a A little more bar b cue sweet Sauce. Good stuff
The shelf stable milk is awesome for people who don't use a lot of milk. I haven't had to pour out spoiled milk since I started using it. I put my parents and single friends on to it too.
If you have the space, try freezing your standard milk. Hubby and I don't drink a lot of milk, but I'll need it a few times a week for cooking - I purchase 1/2 gallons and divvy up into a few empty water bottles, so I always have 16-32oz of milk on hand. Small containers thaw quickly, with no loss of quality once thawed.
@@WeberIMayRoam I wish I had space in my freezer. My mom used to freeze milk when I was growing up. Sometimes she even mixed it with powdered milk. Living on a fixed income and looking at possible shortages, I've been spending extra to make sure I have enough. Wish I could afford a small freezer, but I don't have anywhere to put it anyhow! 😂
@@rivahcat8247 I looked for some yesterday but, the only regular milk was 1%, so I passed. I did pick up 2 almond milks for when I start back on keto. I wasted so much of that expensive milk!
I love the frozen seasoning and veggie mixes.. makes dinner so much easier!! Oh and the thin pizza crusts are bomb!!!! So good with their sauce also!!!!
@@junepoirrier2351 & @Cheryl Mccray thank you both for your service and hard work. My daughter is also a teacher in Alabama and I always hear her talking about spending her own money on her kids in her class. I wish teachers were paid the money they deserve!!

What perfect timing, I'm actually planning a shopping trip to dollar tree and was needing to do these exact price comparisons, this is so helpful !!! Thank you!😁
Thank you I learned a lot on your videos, I shop at Dollar Tree but mostly buy other things but food but will now check out the food deals next, would save a lot of money, I live alone and don't need large amounts at a time. Thank you
Thanks for the info. I have been reluctant to buy food at dollar tree just because I thought it was a bad deal or it would be junky. Now I will look closer, since I am always there buying gift bags, cards, hair clips, candy and have bought ornaments and comet. Love it.
Campbells soup at the $ tree (chicken noodle and Tomato) are HUGE-- 25% larger than the ones sold in grocery stores. 14.3 ounces versus the 10.5 ounces. Now that's a dollar or two well spent ! I buy these two flavors only, as to this day at 63 yrs of age, I've YET to make an edible pot of ckn noodle or tomato soup!
Those spring rolls are the best! My other DT freezer favorites are the 2-in-a-pack veggie burgers, the potstickers and what I think is their best value: the 10 oz. sack of frozen blueberries which I buy for my oatmeal.
for people living alone, the walmart oats, for ex, are not cheaper if i don't use them up in time and i have waste. i like the smaller packages - no waste.
DT has the best deal on their thin crust pizza crust as well. Amazon wants 6 dollars for the same item and finding Vigo Yellow Rice is a steal as well!
Went to DT a couple of weeks ago to check out the food. I came out with 5 bags for $33! I heard that another DT in another town (to which I go often) has even more food items. Their thin pizza crust is great - low in calories. Got the shelf stable milk for emergencies. Thanks for this video- I had never thought of buying food there.
The Campbell's chicken noodles soup is one of the items I get. They sell a can that is "20% more" then the regular cans. And so it a great deal for name brand can of soup when you can get Campbell's chicken noodles on sale at other stores.
Those springs rolls are delicious! Right next to the pepper strips in the freezer case you will find a blend of celery, peppers, onions and parsley that is so good in hash browns and soup, it's a good size bag. I am still looking for that dang shelf stable milk here in PA and we don't have it. I don't want to order online because I don't want 12 lol.
Gossner produces a CHOCOLATE MILK ?? !!!! 😳.. I'm gonna have to delete your comment and my reply before my 31 yr old son see's them! Have NEVER seen the choco milk !! Didn't know it existed !!
My dollar tree carries pepperjack cheese an 8 oz block for a dollar. Great deal. I also buy the red peppers and add them to pasta salads and sandwiches.
One thing I never expected to find at Dollar Tree was the "shower cap" style plastic bowl covers. You get a box of 17 for $1! Three different sizes and they are just sturdy enough to wash and reuse a couple of times. I would never have found them if I weren't looking for larger than 1 gallon zip lock bags.
I bought a loaf of bread there once. I figured bread is bread is bread. It was GROSS. I threw it out. That made me leary to try any Dollar Tree food. We love their mint cookies though. They are just like the Girl Scout Thin Mints to us.
I love the smaller sizes at Dollar Tree because its just my boyfriend and myself..some things he likes better and others for myself..it comes out cheaper at Dollar Tree than Food City...it's all about sales anymore with the cost of living now..thank you for showing us new items
We buy rice in the 50 lbs bulk sacks. We even have a metered rice dispenser set up in our pantry. There's only two of us, but we go through a LOT of rice. We buy more about every six months.
@@jillgott6567 my stepmother is Chinese and taught me a lot of her Chinese dishes that she grew up with, so we serve it with just about any meat or vegetable Chinese dish. We also love it as a side with a pork pot roast that was roasted with apples and onions--we like to pour a little bit of the juices from the bottom of the pan over the rice. Chicken and rice casserole, chicken and rice soup, risottos, pilafs, fried rice, rice porridge, horchata, Spanish rice with tacos or burritos, as a filler in meatloaf sometimes, etc. I have Celiac disease so I have to avoid wheat, barley, and rye, and be selective about oats due to cross-contamination (oats are often grown and/or transported alongside wheat), so rice is typically my grain of choice.
@@Stevie37 I also eat a lot of rice, for the same reason: Celiac disease. It's about the most versatile, least expensive carb that is still safe for me. I make it plain sometimes and add milk, cinnamon and sugar to it for breakfast. Way cheaper than GF oats.
Our Dollar Tree carries these boxes of “minees” brand cookies. My kids love them. Perfect for school lunches. There’s 10 packs of individually wrapped cookies in the box, and each pack has 4 cookies.
Another good video. Panko breadcrumbs are also great on top of vegetables, like baked broccoli and cheese, and pasta dishes. Mix with butter and maybe some dried herbs or a pinch of salt. Kicks it up a notch. BAM!
Love their Bagels ! I purchase alot of items from Dollat Tree, and am going to be looking into their canned meat for my pantry - will check ingredients. I try to keep milk on hand Soy especially then shelf stable milk and even dry whole milk. That way I do not need to worry if I run out of one kind I have another on hand.
Been buying my gnocchi there for years, and the pretzel rods, great. I used the green candy melts and dipped them in it for Halloween, boogers on a stick! A great treat!
@@lynnheffron6905 I store them in pantry until I cook them. Vacuum sealed, and like a dried pasta. I have a recipe for caramelized gnocchi with tomatoes and mozzarella, it’s a delicious meatless dinner.
I don't like the spring rolls, but the husband LOVES them, so I try to pop a package or two for him for snacks. We *adore* the pot stickers though. Pork and Chicken are great.
They have potsicker's,I can't remember the brand name of them. However they are delish with the spring rolls. Also they have coconut milk occasionally. TFS
My dollar tree has the larger Campbell tomato, chicken noodle soups, large can of Campbell pork and beans as well as Hanover beans. I get the azul coconut milk. I eventually used my shelf stable milk for rice pudding and homemade mac and cheese
The egg rolls are delicious! They have four kinds, and they are large and come with a packet of sauce. I sometimes just eat two for dinner or lunch or a snack.
Love the Mexican Instant Coffee. Any kind of frozen spring rolls can be put in a covered heavy frying pan after spraying the Coconut Oil Cooking Spray. Cook stovetop on medium to low for 6-7 minutes. Turn them over for another 3 minutes and you have crisp cooked the rolls in less than ten minutes. I cook for one so despite knowing how to prepare food in large quantities, I now cook extremely simple. I use a 10" heavy non stick frying pan with a clear glass cover for 90% of all I cook. The smaller sizes at TDT keeps snacks fresher. You go girl.
Hadn't done a big shopping this month as I've been I'll and after I watched this terrific, educational video. Thank you Christine! You reminded me that what ever fantasy I've had to go to a regular store and shop, I've gone back to what I was doing years ago. Now I go to DT first before any other store. I found almost everything you showed in this video. I ended up with a cart full and it came to only $44 an incredible low price for the same things at regular stores here in the Chicago burbs that go as high as $5+ per item but I got for (wait for it) a $1. Again, bless you for reminding me about ounce to ounce value and give DT a try.
Those spring rolls are more delicious than they have any right to be! I do them 2 minutes in the microwave then I transfer them to a pan with cooking spray and crisp up the outside. So flaky and light!
I do mine in the toaster oven and they get so crispy and delicious ☺️
The lime juice is fine. Pour a glass of lemon and a glass of lime. They are the SAME color!! The icky green color is the container!!! Lol.
Those Jennifer’s Garden egg rolls are seriously legit. They come 10 in a pack. I was skeptical but SO glad I bought a pack to try them.

I know it’s sometimes not as good a deal, but the smaller sizes of food items are so handy for camping/RV trips 👍
Also if you use coupons on the name brand cereal you can actually get them for $.50 or free
There is actually so much you can use coupons on at dollar tree. Some coupons don't specify sizes those are gems. 50 cents off the jimmy dean products coupons comes out a lot as well.
These smaller sizes would be good for single seniors.

The thin mint cookies at DT are just as good as the Girl Scout Mint Thins.
They are made in the same factory as the girl scout cookies.
@@Arrietta1977 a
!. PM
I think they r good but not the same as girl scout cookies cuz of the texture I keep those one the counter but the real ones go in the freezer.
That's the truth ❤️
I agree! I love them!
Those spring rolls are the best! My other DT freezer favorites are the 2-in-a-pack veggie burgers, the potstickers and what I think is their best value: the 10 oz. sack of frozen blueberries which I buy for my oatmeal.
for people living alone, the walmart oats, for ex, are not cheaper if i don't use them up in time and i have waste. i like the smaller packages - no waste.
I freeze leftover oatmeal in 1/2 cup portions. Works beautifully.
I agree! Sometimes I don’t want or need a big container since it’s now just my husband and me.
I totally agree about the spring rolls! They are wonderful!! 🥰
DT has the best deal on their thin crust pizza crust as well. Amazon wants 6 dollars for the same item and finding Vigo Yellow Rice is a steal as well!
That rice is awesome.
So good tasting.
That crust is my favorite!!! I like their pizza sauce as well
I'm in the pizza business and agree. I even use it to make pizza in my pellet stove. Very forgiving.
!
Went to DT a couple of weeks ago to check out the food. I came out with 5 bags for $33! I heard that another DT in another town (to which I go often) has even more food items. Their thin pizza crust is great - low in calories. Got the shelf stable milk for emergencies. Thanks for this video- I had never thought of buying food there.
The Campbell's chicken noodles soup is one of the items I get. They sell a can that is "20% more" then the regular cans. And so it a great deal for name brand can of soup when you can get Campbell's chicken noodles on sale at other stores.
Have you tried Walmart Campbell's soups. Most of the time they are cheaper. Then if you get coupons for the soup you can get it cheaper
I always buy my chicken noddle soup at DT as well
I buy the CN soup there too. Greatest deal. We add clams to ours. We love it.
@@erinmccarthy5589 Coupons can be used at the Dollar Tree also ! Which makes the Campbells ckn noodle and tomatoe soup CHEAPER than wally world.
I get the Healthy choice chicken rice soup, by the case if they have it. $1 at tree, grocery stores over $2. Not all grocery stores sell these.
I love pita with hummus, roasted red peppers, onions, tomatoes, and turkey - it is so so good!!
Those springs rolls are delicious! Right next to the pepper strips in the freezer case you will find a blend of celery, peppers, onions and parsley that is so good in hash browns and soup, it's a good size bag. I am still looking for that dang shelf stable milk here in PA and we don't have it. I don't want to order online because I don't want 12 lol.
My sister works at our Dollar Tree Store. She said the spring rolls are delicious they came with 8 in a package. They go really fast.
Those spring rolls are the bomb.also the Snyder's honey wheat pretzels dipped in Nutella oh yeah
Great video! Thank you Christine, you are appreciated by so many.
Thank you so much!
The coconut rolls are amazing. After the suggestion to try them I'm hooked
I dip in cool whip
The Gossner plant is in Logan, UT. We always stock up on shelf stable milk when we drive through. My kids love the chocolate milk.
I love this milk, nobody really drinks milk in my family but me so it works great.
I wish dt had the chocolate.
Gossner produces a CHOCOLATE MILK ?? !!!! 😳.. I'm gonna have to delete your comment and my reply before my 31 yr old son see's them! Have NEVER seen the choco milk !! Didn't know it existed !!
@@paulawinstead5660 not just chocolate other flavors too. Cookies and cream, banana, strawberry, rootbeer, vanilla.
My dollar tree carries pepperjack cheese an 8 oz block for a dollar. Great deal. I also buy the red peppers and add them to pasta salads and sandwiches.
Great deals! The spring rolls are awesome!
One thing I never expected to find at Dollar Tree was the "shower cap" style plastic bowl covers. You get a box of 17 for $1! Three different sizes and they are just sturdy enough to wash and reuse a couple of times. I would never have found them if I weren't looking for larger than 1 gallon zip lock bags.
If your DT has them, get the canned kippers. They’re smoked, and taste so good. Better than the sardines!
Cool, I don't know what a kipper is, but I'll try it
@@coffeebeforemascara smoked mackerel
@@josweetlove1537 well, I buy the DT canned makeral, so I will surely enjoy it then!
@@coffeebeforemascara kipper snacks are so good. I use to carry in my lunch many years ago.
Those spring rolls are legit
The jars of Asparagus is delicious!
They are. You're right.
What do you think of DT's jars of mushroom pieces? (They're near the jars of asparagus.)
Potato stick's. FANTASTIC
I love the spring rolls. My husband was skeptical but once he tried them he was hooked too.
I love them too! Sometimes when I’m traveling I will get one and microwave in the hotel room for a quick meal.
I bought a loaf of bread there once. I figured bread is bread is bread. It was GROSS. I threw it out. That made me leary to try any Dollar Tree food. We love their mint cookies though. They are just like the Girl Scout Thin Mints to us.
I've been eating those spring rolls for several years now and they are the bomb!👍
I love moon pies. Yes the Spring rolls are delicious. Great Video
I hope there will be Moon Pies in Heaven ❤
The coconut rolls are regularly $7.99 at Costco, when I got them on coupon back in July they were $2.40 off. $5.59 is a steal! I stock up every time.
The dollar tree is GREAT. Thank you for sharing. Your a blessing.
I love the smaller sizes at Dollar Tree because its just my boyfriend and myself..some things he likes better and others for myself..it comes out cheaper at Dollar Tree than Food City...it's all about sales anymore with the cost of living now..thank you for showing us new items
The spring rolls are So good. Hard to find always gone.
Those spring rolls are so good! I buy a lot of the items you mentioned.
Those spring rolls are fabulous. I get them every trip to Dollar Tree.
We buy rice in the 50 lbs bulk sacks. We even have a metered rice dispenser set up in our pantry. There's only two of us, but we go through a LOT of rice. We buy more about every six months.
My husband and I do this via azure standard saves so much time and money
Wow that is a lot of rice. Would you be willing to share a few of the meals you make ? Thank you
@@jillgott6567 my stepmother is Chinese and taught me a lot of her Chinese dishes that she grew up with, so we serve it with just about any meat or vegetable Chinese dish. We also love it as a side with a pork pot roast that was roasted with apples and onions--we like to pour a little bit of the juices from the bottom of the pan over the rice. Chicken and rice casserole, chicken and rice soup, risottos, pilafs, fried rice, rice porridge, horchata, Spanish rice with tacos or burritos, as a filler in meatloaf sometimes, etc.
I have Celiac disease so I have to avoid wheat, barley, and rye, and be selective about oats due to cross-contamination (oats are often grown and/or transported alongside wheat), so rice is typically my grain of choice.
@@Stevie37 I also eat a lot of rice, for the same reason: Celiac disease. It's about the most versatile, least expensive carb that is still safe for me. I make it plain sometimes and add milk, cinnamon and sugar to it for breakfast. Way cheaper than GF oats.
Can you tell me about your metered dispenser? Where did you purchase it and name brand?
Gnocchi in chicken soup like a dumpling.... That is so smart!
Our Dollar Tree carries these boxes of “minees” brand cookies. My kids love them. Perfect for school lunches. There’s 10 packs of individually wrapped cookies in the box, and each pack has 4 cookies.
Ours used to as well.
I love those
The little spring rolls are so good!!!
Love the frozen tater tots and the Texas corn bread mix. Sometimes the spice area has great deals on name brand mixes.
Springs rolls gonna be a must try for sure!.
That candy is delicious! I stock up when they have it! They taste like natural fruit starburts.
Another good video. Panko breadcrumbs are also great on top of vegetables, like baked broccoli and cheese, and pasta dishes. Mix with butter and maybe some dried herbs or a pinch of salt. Kicks it up a notch. BAM!
Love their Bagels ! I purchase alot of items from Dollat Tree, and am going to be looking into their canned meat for my pantry - will check ingredients. I try to keep milk on hand Soy especially then shelf stable milk and even dry whole milk. That way I do not need to worry if I run out of one kind I have another on hand.
I love DT I get the lemon juice those small dinners canned soup it’s the place to go to when you on a budget love it
I really like the per oz price comparisons on screen. Thank you for making the video!
I buy the lemon juice to make lemonade. Sometimes I buy the cane sugar, name brand cereal and salt too.
Been buying my gnocchi there for years, and the pretzel rods, great. I used the green candy melts and dipped them in it for Halloween, boogers on a stick! A great treat!
We do that every year but we make witches fingers and also can do mummy's 💛💛
@Cynthia Willis, How do you store the gnocchi, freezer or pantry shelf? LMAO @ boogers on a stick 🤣
Never cooked with gnocchi before, but recently purchased some to make snacks in the airfryer.
@@lynnheffron6905 I store them in pantry until I cook them. Vacuum sealed, and like a dried pasta. I have a recipe for caramelized gnocchi with tomatoes and mozzarella, it’s a delicious meatless dinner.
@@Cynthia2v thank you for reply. I didn't know if they were dried or from freezer section. Your recipe sounds yummy!
Been on that spring rolls for 4yrs now from dollar tree, my family loves it.
I don't like the spring rolls, but the husband LOVES them, so I try to pop a package or two for him for snacks. We *adore* the pot stickers though. Pork and Chicken are great.
The potstickers are SO good!
@@Sincyn241 Yes, they are. I'll usually make 3-4 bags and refrigerate the rest for night time snacks.
@@selenadansfield1305 the potstickers are the best imo. My daughter will ask for them as an after school snack.
@@GracefullyPlanned Those pot stickers are AWESOME!
I wish I could have tried the chicken.....the pork were delicious!!!
Processed cheese slices in three flavors - cheddar, pepper jack, and swiss. Delicious for melty grilled cheese and tomato soup!
They have potsicker's,I can't remember the brand name of them. However they are delish with the spring rolls. Also they have coconut milk occasionally. TFS
My son loves them!
Potstickers and the spring rolls, my teens love them!! Way cheaper than at Sam’s club and the air fryer makes them super yummy
Dollar tree has awesome egg rolls too and also veggie ones
My dollar tree has the larger Campbell tomato, chicken noodle soups, large can of Campbell pork and beans as well as Hanover beans. I get the azul coconut milk. I eventually used my shelf stable milk for rice pudding and homemade mac and cheese
the spring egg rolls are yummy
The egg rolls are delicious! They have four kinds, and they are large and come with a packet of sauce. I sometimes just eat two for dinner or lunch or a snack.
Love the Mexican Instant Coffee. Any kind of frozen spring rolls can be put in a covered heavy frying pan after spraying the Coconut Oil Cooking Spray. Cook stovetop on medium to low for 6-7 minutes. Turn them over for another 3 minutes and you have crisp cooked the rolls in less than ten minutes. I cook for one so despite knowing how to prepare food in large quantities, I now cook extremely simple. I use a 10" heavy non stick frying pan with a clear glass cover for 90% of all I cook. The smaller sizes at TDT keeps snacks fresher. You go girl.
Hadn't done a big shopping this month as I've been I'll and after I watched this terrific, educational video. Thank you Christine! You reminded me that what ever fantasy I've had to go to a regular store and shop, I've gone back to what I was doing years ago. Now I go to DT first before any other store. I found almost everything you showed in this video. I ended up with a cart full and it came to only $44 an incredible low price for the same things at regular stores here in the Chicago burbs that go as high as $5+ per item but I got for (wait for it) a $1. Again, bless you for reminding me about ounce to ounce value and give DT a try.
I am a FAN of this Lady, She is So Sweet!!!
