I am a big fan of the Dollar Tree Store. In just one place you can find such a wide variety of items for a great price (that price being $1, of course)! I think it is a great place to buy items you might already need to purchase but at a much lower cost than most stores.
The Dollar Tree is certainly full of some of the basics that you might expect to find including: paper goods, party supplies, toiletries, candy and various food items. In fact, that’s just the very start of the expansive list of products you can find at the Dollar Tree.
Today I want to share 5 unexpected items you will find at the Dollar Tree.
Wall Decals
People are loving wall decals these days. You see them a lot in children’s rooms and baby nurseries, but they have also become quite popular in the main spaces of the home. You can buy expensive decals or you could pop into the Dollar Tree, and choose from their wide selection of decals for any wall in your home. You can also think outside the box and create framed art using these decals.
Books
Did you know you can find books at the Dollar Tree? They have children’s books, books for teens and adults, cookbooks, coloring books, word searches and other activity books. You never know what you might find. I have yet to find a cook book at my store, but popular books are often snatched up quickly. Next time you’re at the Dollar Tree take a look at the book section, you might just find a hidden gem.
Teacher Supplies
Before having children I was a classroom teacher. Teacher supplies can be pricey, so it’s nice to have a place where you can buy needed items inexpensively. You can find certificates, banners, posters, flashcards, motivational stickers, mini-whiteboards, and many, many other options perfect for the classroom. These can obviously be used in your home, day care or church as well.
Accessories
When it comes to accessories, the Dollar Tree has you covered. You can find sunglasses, fashion scarves, socks, winter hats and gloves, headbands, bows, and clips. (I know I’m forgetting something.) Our family favorite in this category is probably anything hair-related. I have purchased many a head band and hair-tie for my daughters from the Dollar Tree. I will also say that their hats and gloves have held up over the course of a couple winters. Check out the numerous accessories the next time you are at the Dollar Tree.
Name Brands
I think some people steer clear of the Dollar Tree because they think everything sold in the store is an off-brand. That’s not true! The Dollar Tree is full of name brands including (but certainly not limited to): Almay, Betty Crocker, Bic, Brillo, Campbell’s, Colgate, Crest, Dial, Goya, Hanes, Lays, Scotties, and Softsoap. If you see a name brand you like and normally purchase, scoop it up and save yourself some money. It’s also pretty cool when you can match up a name brand item with a coupon. Hello, free (or almost free)!

I love the Dollar Tree! There really are some good finds there. It’s a great place to go to fill Easter baskets or stockings. I was really surprised by the number of craft supplies ours had!
They keep expanding their craft supply section, Allison 🙂 Today I bought some fun pom poms.
Thanks for the information!
You are welcome, Julie!
Wall Decals?! Whaaaa??!!! Ok, now I gotta scour the two dollar trees we have here and see if I’m so lucky!
Our decal section keeps getting bigger and bigger, Jasmine. I hope you find some…so many great options!!
I buy sunglasses there all the time! Then I don’t feel bad when they break or get lost. I love the idea of using wall decals in frames!
Yes, Vicki, sunglasses are a great pick! I have purchased a couple and have been happy with them.
OMG! Little Golden Books! I forgot about those! Thanks for sharing, I haven’t been there is so long and had been thinking of going soon!
I seriously love the dollar tree! I always treat the kids to a book from there when they earned a reward and surprise!.. they have super cute holiday decorations!
That’s such a nice idea, Stephanie! You’re right, too, they do have great holiday decorations.
