They usually have like actual ingredients for a decent price. Used to be able to get a pound and a half of rice, beans and actually decent corn tortillas there. Spices were a little flat, but you could make a few meals for $10.
What type of lame video idea is this? He must have not grown up poor. Which is a good thing. I don't wish it on anyone else, but come on man. I've lived long stretches of time off places like CVS, which some have way worse selections than this place! Dollar Tree and some similar places have everything you need just to live, period. Not for a day or week. Years! Like you said it even has ingredients. I'm always shocked about the prices and items when I go into one. I always feel like their inventory changes based on what they can bulk buy.
@@dianapennepacker6854 It's usually a trick. They sell things with lesser quantity than places like Walmart. You have to look at the net weight. The vast majority of food stuff they sell, you can actually find just as cheap or cheaper at Walmart.
As someone who worked for dollar tree I can tell you that your store is a lucky one, it’s kept clean and well stocked compared to a lot others, most the employees don’t like working for the company because both corporate and the managers don’t care about the employees
@WhyshNomas69not broke, smart. You can get a decent sized pineapple at Aldi fire less than 2 bucks. Food is decently fresh/edible, and it’s a lot more cost effective than say Walmart or Kroger. If you think spending money smarter is “being broke,” you need to reevaluate what you’re spending your money on.
Pretty sure calling it "vegetable oil spread" would make it less popular and thus less expensive. Vegetable oil is much cheaper than the other kinds of oil you can get.
It's thin but try the vac sealed t-bone 1$ steak. I haven't tried any of the other choices but I had that at a cook out. I can't lie, I'd purchase myself now that I've tasted.
I love that mindset, pretty much same as mine. We don't have dollar stores in Egypt but still I aim for products of reasonable price with average or higher quality and it works like a charm😊❤
As a note, those cakes and the breakfast sandwiches are $3 per box. Two servings per box. Ive been an employee. Those cakes are the absolute bomb. In day to day life, its more cost effective to get that same brand of breakfast sandwiches in a higher count box at an actual grocery store. Same witu their knock off uncrustables. But fir this challenge, they work. Dollar tree also has plenty of ingredients, boxed goods, canned goods, etc, to make actual meals. But, that apparently isnt as good for content. I hated working here, but they are a great resource for many things. In my stste, they even take food stamps. (Most of the employees are on food stamps, and have another job, lmao)
As a former employee; I wouldn’t risk getting food from dollar tree unless you make sure it’s not expired. I’ve had lots lots of customers come to me with expired food and my managers just put it right back on the shelf
The same at big lots and Walmart. Big lots tends to have a lot of expired items all the time. I currently work in Walmart and a lot of things you have to check. I've bought rotten potatoes once and didn't even know until I got home. I was so mad. 😂
When it became $1.25 that was the equivalent of 25% inflation, many items are now two bucks that used to be a dollar. That’s 100% inflation for poor people. And idiots that think corporations should be charge higher taxes are idiots because they don’t understand it’s the poor buyer that pays for that. Democrats in Illinois also raised taxes on gas, people don’t realize how many times you pay taxes on the same gallon of gas. It’s not just state impose taxes, there’s also federal, there’s the different corporate taxes at different levels and there’s more than that, you’re paying taxes repeatedly on the same items with money that was taxed. Friendly reminder that we were energy independent under Trump, but Biden spent his first month in office going back to Middle Eastern oil and stopping what was working by canceling out the different things Trump had done. Don’t even try to believe that it’s greener for us to get oil from the Middle East, it’s not, it’s efficient and shady.
If you’re talking about the sodas thats because Dollar tree doesn’t set the price for those the vendor does, so the come in and stock the shelves with their product just like coke/pepsi does at other retailers like Target etc. i can’t tell you how many time I accidentally asked a question only to find out they don’t work at target they work for coke and are just stocking their products lol.
Well a few years back the base price of items was changed to $1.25 for all items (thanks inflation) and dollar tree plus items in the frozen section have been around for a while, varying between 3, 4, and 5 bucks, and for the drinks, this was recent addition to the prices, although it doesnt apply to every beverage, only to the newer brands popping up at dollar tree, so far all I've seen is redbull and starbucks charging for higher prices.
Do not diss the shamrock milk. Their flavored milk is absolutely delicious. Favorites gotta be the vanilla and smores Edit: Shamrock milk came out with a cookies and cream flavor and its like drinking melted ice cream is so good as a little treat
The difference is the food would be really unhealthy considering the artificial flavors and preservatives. It would probably take 2 - 3 years off your life if you relied off dollar tree for year(s)
I used to work at Dunkins, and near it theres a Dollar Tree, im not kidding i would survive whatever came from that place bc tbh? They have the best things there P.S. If you ever heard of peace tea, try them theyre so good
Same. Back in the day when I was poor there were weeks when I had a $10 dollar tree budget for that week and would walk about feeling excited about my purchases. Today, not even worth waste my time. Their products are terrible now.
For your info, vegetable oil spread IS margarine, which is essentially a butter substitute. I wouldn’t exactly spread it on bread and eat it if I weren’t desperate, but it toasts pretty well, and it cooks stuff decently in a pan due to being vegetable oil.

Dollar tree is supplied by Walmart all these items are at Walmart for half the price or even cheaper that mac and cheese is $0.50 at Walmart most cases $0.27
I used to get half my groceries from the Dollar Tree when money was tight. Pre-made things can be a bit pricey, depending on what it is, but the ingredients are a great price. The orange sherbert is incredible, and it's a pint for $1.25.
It sucks that you can't have a portable washing machine! I was just gonna tell you to buy one. I love mine! I mention it every chance I get - the fully automatic giantex! I still have to go do the comforters at the laundromat during winter, but it has saved me a lot of money.
Zackary Smigel did a fantastic video on this where he ate nothing but dollar tree for ten days but he does alot of actual cooking vs just buying packaged stuff. It's a fantastic watch if you're into that kind of stuff

It's still that way, like sure the price went up a bit but it's still able to get enough food for cheap

Well there are a bunch of reasons
Like COVID or the government
Well they probably have been losing money for a while
It’s $1.29. Basically the same.
@@triple7marcI think some of their items are above $2 like in the video we see the Starbucks drink for nearly $4
@Salza02 not all dollar tress have the dollar tree plus yet. My sons store is still only $1.25 and one area still has $1 only items.

ryan trahan from dollar tree indeed

It's sad they're closing down most of their locations
Well… its sad that so many people shoplift or mug clerks, forcing many stores to close, not just dollar tree/general stores.
WHAT
They’re closing Family Dollar stores and like 20 old DTs
They’re* you were so close too 😅
they closing down mostly family dollar and some dollar tree locations. The merger was bad

Vegetable oil spread is basically margarine. They call it something different to sell it for a higher price.
It's not basically margarine...It IS margarine. That box hasn't changed in 40 years.
Pretty sure calling it "vegetable oil spread" would make it less popular and thus less expensive. Vegetable oil is much cheaper than the other kinds of oil you can get.
It's not good for health 😭 like you're earning dude atleast buy some original butter
It's fake butter all that shit is bad for you
@@KenikoBit’s labeled this because fake butter is viewed negatively
Those Cake Slices Always HIT!! I Get 4!!!😊
This is just where you go when you are in college or don't have much money. I still make college meals from dollar tree every now and then
