Dollar Store Shopping Tips

In today's economy money is tight for all of us. This is why I love Dollar Store Shopping. You can find the best deals. This page is all about teaching you where to look and how to get the best for your buck! ...... Literally a buck. That's right, you can really come ahead and spend very little cash. Does that sound good to you?

You can find good health and beauty aids at low cost. We all can use hair shampoo, razors and hand soap. Are you in need of any cleaning supplies? I have used the dishwasher soap, bleach and fabric softener sheets. These are name brand items and I have found them for $1! 

I am going to give you a few stores where I frequently shop. I am also going to give you some recommendations of products that I purchase too. Some are great and I use them daily. Others are not so great and I personally do not use them. Don't let that stop you from trying them because they may work great for you.

I have some tips for you to keep in mind before you shop for any Dollar Store Deals. A quick phrase that I like to use is SPOT the deals.

S is for Specials, P is for Patience, O is for Don't Overpay and T is for Time. So find out when the Specials are and have the Patience while you shop. Do not Overpay for an item and plan on spending The Time to look properly.

        Dollar Store Shopping Deals

  • Dollar Tree

There would be no true $1 deal without this store. However everything now is $1.25. I guess it is in the $1 range. Yes, every item in the store is $1.25. This store is Amazing, and you should experience it. You will definitely get your money's worth here.


The great thing about dollar store shopping here is the selection. They have name brand items and non brand. I have used both and been pleasantly surprised. Never count any item out because it may become your fave!

Some items I recommend when Dollar Store Shopping is the Gain dryer sheets and Dawn dish liquid. The Spic and Span is great to mop the kitchen and bathroom floors. The dishwasher soap works great and I save tons by buying it. So be sure to look and start saving cash today. I guarantee you will find some items your household can and will use.

  • Health and Beauty Aids:

There is a great big selection of products. There is an endless supply of bath soaps and body washes, shampoos and conditioners and lotions. I personally don’t really care for the off brand body and hand lotions, but you may love them. They have cold medicines, pain relievers and vitamins cheap. You can save tons buying these items here as opposed to the bigger stores.


  • Stationery:

I absolutely buy all my gift bags, wrapping paper and greeting cards at this store. There is a countless supply of party decorations, favors and treats. It can be a one stop shop for hosting a party or if you are planning on attending one. Why pay triple the price at other stores? These Dollar Store Deals can save you so much!


  • Food:

Yes my friends, there is a nice food selection at the Dollar Tree. Be sure to check out the freezer section. Some stores are bigger than others, so the variety of what they offer will differ. I have found great spices, rice mixes and cereals. Some of the Popsicles and ice creams are really yummy...:0)


  • Household Items:

You can always use extra kitchen towels, dish cloths and kitchen utensils. There are garbage bags, ziploc bags and foils and wraps that you need. Why pay more for paper plates and paper towels when you can find them here for $1? Their mops and brooms and dustpans are really great. So be sure to check these out and pick up some much needed stuff.


The only other tip I can share is that you must go and check it out for yourself. I absolutely love dollar store shopping at this store. Make sure you browse each aisle so you don't miss anything. Be prepared to find some really great bargains. While I am on the subject of $1 deals, I am going to share another goldmine on another page. Penny Shopping is another great art and I will show you the tricks as well.

 Another store is Wal Mart. They have The $1 racks from time to time. These are absolutely amazing! They are mostly clothes, but great deals. They normally mark them down at the end of the season. You can really clean up for yourself or even better for your kids. It's tough to find clothes for $1 at the thrift store, let alone brand new. So dollar store shopping can happen at any store! 


A quick tip, A great idea is to buy ahead for the next season. For kids you can buy the next one or two sizes up. I buy them and keep them in a storage tote. So when the next season comes, you can be so far ahead of your shopping. You can do this for yourself and your husband!

So are you a fan of my Dollar Store Shopping? I know I am. It can be so exciting not only finding a great bargain, but saving so much money. My friends, I am off to the next bargain. See you at the checkout!
