Dollar Tree — It’s Awesome. A laundry spray and cleaner. Works great, cheap.
I happened to have a spray bottle of "Shout" and one of those sprays from DT. The DT spray was about three times more effective at working on an oil stain!
The dishwasher boluses work better for me than the more expensive ones as well. There is some chemical in the "jet dry" type of drying aids that I happen to be sensitive to, and those do not have it. I liked the looks of the dishes done with others, but I value my health more.
Dollar Tree — It’s Awesome. A laundry spray and cleaner. Works great, cheap.
This was at least one of mine!
The Awesome Oxy laundry spray pretreatment, and the granulated Awesome Oxy laundry enhancer.
One spray on a stain or potential stain, and one scoop, and clean sparkling laundry...any color!
Why pay $6.99 for a tub of oxy-clean, when about 3 $1 versions equals it?
And as we are both allergic to laundry perfumes, and only use the"free and clear" laundry detergent (NOT bought at dollar tree), there is a slight scent to the granulated, but so subtle it just smells "clean".
I wear only wool socks in winter, the Dollar Tree "woolite" detergent is great for those.
I will by the Dollar Tree $1 laundry soap...to do things that aren't or won't be in constant contact with our skin...like the bathroom throw rugs.
It does a great job too.
I DO have the OPs mini flashlight on my key chain. I bought a bag of 20 of them some odd years ago for $4.00.
There are too many Dollar Tree items that are favs of mine, too many to list!
Probably one of my favorites is: a rubber jar opener.
It was free from an insurance agent.
It conforms to any size lid in the palm if ones hand, and makes it easier to open stubborn jars.
Either they can put them on tighter at the factory today, or have better sealing capacity, or (groan!) I'm getting older enough that I'm losing strength to get a grip on things (double groan for the pun!) to open jars!
Dollar Tree always had very nice paint brushes. Cheap enough to throw away after one use, but nice enough to keep and reuse, if you wanted to go to the effort to clean them. The last couple times I have been in the stores, it looks like they are replacing them with the cheap chip brushes that really are nothing but disposable.
2 for $1 greeting cards, & a light up magnifying glass that I keep near my chair, when something is too small for me to see or read ( one item) All Dollar tree.
Greeting cards 2/$1
Gift wrap & bags
LED Bulbs
Batteries
4 way screwdriver (keep in kitchen drawer. The good tools are in the garage.)
Toilet bowl cleaner
Magnetic grocery list pad
Rubber jar opener - free
Big bottle of vinegar (under $3) used it to kill weeds. Saves money on paying someone to pull weeds. It works but you need to keep up with it.
Address labels - sometimes these are send unsolicited. I use them and they are free. Haven't gotten any lately though.
I've shifted so much of my shopping to Dollar Tree, so I have a hard time deciding.
All the flashlights I have bought at DT have been pretty great. And being in the van after dark really necessitates decent lights.
Also, the buffet-line serving-gloves they sell at DT, 100 for a buck. I use them all the time for tasks where I do not want to get my hands dirty and do not need to waste a more expensive pair of gloves. Great for checking oil/trans fluid, picking up greasy rags or paper-towels, handling tools, etc, etc.
Rare find in $1 store
Umbrella yep a folding (telescoping) Umbrella that can easily fit in pocket or purse. Bought 12. 3 years ago, and 4-5 remain.
$1 reading glasses. If you buy the 4.0 power ones and go camping, you can start a fire with them
The dollar tree reading glasses are great as well as the sunglasses. Although less of a selection there, birthday/holiday cards are a great deal too.
