Thanks, Laura. I did know a lot of the info but having a refresher was good. And I did learn a few tips, such as spray painting. I could put my husband on that task! Ha ha.

THank you, Laura. I'm new to decluttering, so organizing is on the back burner at the moment, but I've used empty plastic meat containers and mushroom containers in drawers. They aren't as beautiful as using these products, and I do hope to advance to this level one day.

Tissue paper was a lot cheaper at Dollar Tree than Target when I bought for a non profit.
Returns: they easily take returns but it is for exchange only, not money back. I use that quite often because like you/Laura mention, buy it because it may not be there later.
I 2nd the idea of multiple stores. I have several in my area too but I also look for them when I am in a different area.
I bought several utensils in gray there to use for my handling/mixing of raw foods so I don’t get mixed up when cooking.

I live in an area where there are a lot of DollarTree stores. And there is a wide variation in size of store & merchandise they carry. So my wife and I have a few favorites we go to, depending what we are shopping for.

I've used the online option for the Dollar Tree, but as you point out, they do have minimum purchases, usually by the case. A lot of times there are things online that I've not seen in any of my local stores. It's great for putting together gift bags!

For plastic organizer storage I really like the Simply Tidy line from Michael's. Many can be purchased for less in bulk too.

[@curlykiki8]

thanks laura! i’ve wondered about online shopping here.

[@sandrafisher2280]

Thanks for the info for ordering online. I shop for a camp every year and may need to look at ordering that way because I do need larger quantities for that.

[@jackieo8693]

Thank you, Laura! All good information!

[@georgeedward1226]

The price increase was inevitable. I'm old enough to remember a place called the 59 Cents Shop in lower Manhattan where my father took me back in the early 70s as he worked in that area.

[@carolbain7904]

What about buying from Home Goods for containers?

[@julietannOsfan1972]

In the UK we have Poundland.
Some of the items are ok but some are total rubbish.
A couple of the plastic boxes have been cracked.
Like The Dollar Tree, Poundland stuff is now a lot more than just £1.00.
It costs me £4.00 or £5.00 on a bus or train to get to my nearest Poundland, so it’s not always worth it money wise for me.
I would never buy usb cords etc from Poundland. I’d rather buy from Apple.

Oh, wow! I haven’t been in there lately to see the “upscale” pricing of more than $1.25😀
