I used to go semi regularly to pick up things like handsoap and cleaning products but everything there now seems a lot worse than it used to be. It's lower quality cheap stuff if that's even possible. Nothing there for me now.

I buy the Dermasil hand lotion. It's free of parabens, pthalates, and fragrance, and it's thick and creamy. It's a large tube and you can't beat it for a dollar. I also like the Shugar Soapworks oatmeal and lemon verbena soap. Huge bars, hard, and last a long time. They're almost $4 a bar on amazon. They also sell vinyl shelf liner, and the roll is exactly the right length to cover the top of the low bookcase I keep some of my plants on by my bedroom window. No worrying about spilling water on it.

I recently bought some wonderful Day of the Dead solar lights at Dollar Tree. I'm a solar light nut, and DT allows me to indulge inexpensively. In fact, when I find a light I really like, I order a case of them from DT online.



Another item I buy there is Bullseye Barbecue Sauce. A lot of the grocery stores around here have stopped carrying it, and I paid way more than $1 when I ordered it from Amazon once. It's our favorite BBQ sauce for burgers.

I was in one today, first time in 5 years. Bought a lizard looking thing that when left in water will grow to 6X it's size. Got if for my 2.5 year old grand daughter so she can scare me with it.

i buy their batteries. They don't last long, but you get so many for a dollar, that the value adds up.

That is our favorite BBQ sauce. I didn't know Dollar Tree carried it! I'll be getting it next time.
