I am going to get some soap products and sponges this morning. I haven't been to Dollar Tree in several months. I know that it's really the $1.25 Tree now, and that many products there cost well over that. I've been fooled a couple of times.
What kinds of things do you get at your equivalent of Dollar Tree? For me it pretty much comes down to soap products (including shampoo) and, occasionally, "yellow tube" antibiotic ointment. I don't buy food at Dollar Tree. Except for that sweetened iced tea in the green can. You know. Whatchamacallit.

No thrift store or mall here. You have nowhere to go to buy bargain products. If yoi want you must go to the capital city.

@TheHorse Nope. It's too far. Here in our region. And it's Bacolod, capital of Negros Occidental.

We haven't been to a Dollar Tree in several years. I used to buy candles there and, sometimes, different candy that you can't find in Walmart. (I like Cherry Sours and Coconut Haystacks.

We don't hit our dollar tree or equelvents there of much anymore. Last time I think we bought band-aids. Our Family Dollar or Dollar General don't have eletric carts so George avoids them.

That’s what I call it, the dollar-and-a-quarter tree.

I don't go to the Dollar Tree as often as I used to but when I did it was mostly for things like cards, gift bags and cleaning products.

I bought a round container there, but I ended up not using it. It was too hard to open.

Inflation has done for our Pound shops as everything doesn't cost a pound anymore

I get half gallons of window cleaner and Spiik and Span cleaners all for $1.25 each. Since the spray bottles of window cleaner and Spiic and Span are a lot smaller than the big jugs, I just use them to refill the spray bottles. Sometimes, they have a package of 36 dishwasher pods for $1.50 That's a super good buy, but they disappear from the shelves quickly.
It wouldn't let me post this until I changed the spelling of spiik, it's a bad word.

Enjoy! We have that kind of store...it called OSAVE, the products there are cheaper, if you buy it from a regular store. Maybe because some of the products' expiry dates, when you buy it in a local store, you will see the expiry dates are set for 2 to 3 years, but in OSAVE, the expiry date is set for one year. But they are all safe and healthy.

Sounds like you can pick up some bargains at Dollar Tree.
