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!
