Read MoreAs far as dollar stores go, Dollar Tree is one of the best. (Note: If you haven't been to a dollar store in a while, everything is $1.25 now).
They have an extensive section of tableware, much of which looks very attractive..I can't speak to quality, but I was tempted to buy some.I ended up just getting a coffee mug which I like a lot. It stands the microwave oven very well and when I dropped it on the kitchen floor I felt sure it would shatter, but it just bounced without a mark on it.
Mainly I go in there for emergency food, and I have not been to every department but it all looks laid out well and you should find everything you need for the home.
The food department has a large variety variety of canned and boxed food. I especially like Campbell's beef barley which is hearty and hard to find the days.
Not everything is well known brands. They do have Schweppes ginger ale and Pepsi at pretty good price although bottles are 1.5 liters which if you do the math is about the same price as the supermarket.
In fact, not everything is really discounted. For example, name brand candy bars and chocolates are usually shrunk to the $1.25 size. For a quick meal I really like the Campbell's soup, which are classic and hearty (like beef barley, which is hard to find in supermarkets these days).
Another thing I liked was a large package of shortbread fudge cookies - not a name brand but delicious.
There is also a refrigerated section. Not very large unfortunately. I liked the Donald Duck juices, which are pure fruit juice. However, beware of the prices, some of which can go up to $5.00. I found the prices marked on the shelf but not always accurate. I got four meals out of some Arby's french fries, which were very good, but cost $4. Ice cream was scarce, but a good price if you can find it!
So, mostly it is an excellent store which I highly recommend. It has mostly bargains, but look out for items that are not!
I always feel good at the checkout when I get eight items for $12. Well done me!
