8 Dollar Tree Items Frugal People Should Be Buying When They See Them This Summer

Dollar stores may not be everybody’s cup of tea, but whether you like it or not, they have some cheap products that could save you a lot of money.

You may not always get the best quality of things, but who needs gift-wrapping paper to be top-notch quality?

Several good deals are lurking in every Dollar Tree, and that’s why we’ve made this list for you.

Here are some of the best bargains to catch at your local Dollar Tree store.

Pool Toys

Summer means pools and water, and Dollar Tree has great and cheap pool toys. Especially since kids often ruin and lose these, there is no need to spend a lot of money and get very high-quality stuff. I’ve gotten pool noodles, pool balls, floating toys, diving toys, and sand toys at the dollar store. 

Greeting Cards

Why pay an obscene $4 or even more for your friend’s birthday card that you buy at a supermarket or specialty store when you can pay a fraction of that price at Dollar Tree? It may even be a good idea to stock up on some birthday cards from Dollar Tree and stack them for the right occasion.

We all have friends and family, and they all have birthdays every year. Unless you’re going to be DIYing every greeting card, you may as well get a couple of greeting cards to save for a rainy day.

Picture Frames

If you don’t have any precious art that you’d like to have framed professionally, then why not just get your frame at your nearest Dollar Store? Whether it’s some family photos or your children’s art from school, there’s no harm in paying a fraction of the price for a frame at a Dollar Tree.

Plant Supplies

If you’re into gardening, then you’re probably the type of person who usually stocks up on gardening supplies when the gardening season starts. If that’s you and you’d like to save some money, then why not hit up the nearest Dollar Tree to save a few bucks on this upcoming gardening season’s supplies?

Party Supplies

It’s always a good idea to buy your party supplies at a dollar store, such as Dollar Tree. You don’t need top-of-the-range quality for something that’s supposed to last for one day. Think paper plates, table covers, streamers, decorative bags, and all the things that make a kid’s party fun.

Office Supplies

It’s probably best to avoid markers, pens, and mechanical items like staplers at a Dollar Tree, as you’ll want decent quality for these things. However, that doesn’t mean you have to avoid everything from the office supplies department. You can still get away with purchasing your sticky notes, composition books, and some other useful supplies for your office.

Vases

One can never have enough vases. This is especially true in spring when those stunning flowers from your garden are blooming. Vases can be really expensive, but they don’t have to be if you purchase them at the right place. Dollar Tree is your best friend when shopping for your next vase.

Hair Accessories

If you have long hair or have children who do, then there’s a good chance that you or your child will use hair accessories daily. Hair accessories can be expensive, especially since they are easy to lose and need to be replaced occasionally. That’s why it’s probably best to buy them at your nearest Dollar Tree so that you won’t have to be forking out too much for these every few months.
