Honestly when it comes to food or household items I don’t really think you get a better deal at Dollar tree. I find that it’s worth it to purchase those items at Walmart or Costco because of how much I can get for the price. At Dollar Tree I like to get their cards, gift bags, and Tupperware.

Food Storage Containers, paper plates, sponges, nail care tools, pony tails and hair clips, vases, jars, glasses, etc, and random little things like laundry baskets and storage baskets. It's my go to for the things I'd normally catch myself spending $20 on. I've even gotten cooking utensils from there and they're just fine! Not super durable, but hell, it'll stir spaghetti sauce!

Grocery shopping: do you just go to one store and do the best you can to stay on budget or do you go to multiple stores to get the best price on different items?

EDITED TO ADD: In the few days it has taken for admin to approve posting this (thank you for all your hard work!), there have been SEVERAL posts in budgeting groups about homes being burglarized after women got their cash from the bank or used their cash at the grocery store.
