Before I left work today this afternoon I picked up a few things. Not a huge purchase but considering I picked up five things and only paid $5.07 and that was after tax I think I did pretty good.
I got:
-32 oz bottle of lemon juice
-full size parmesean cheese
-8 pk AA batteries
And
-2 bags of tater tots
So the lemon juice and parmesean cheese will get plenty of use and the tater tots will be used with dinner tonight. The batteries were for the room sprayer we keep in the bathroom.
So all useful things.

Thry are very useful indeed. We don't have Dollar Tree here maybe because our currency is Peso. But we have different shopping/grocery stores.

I LOVE the Dollar Tree. The only thing here on your list I find always to be a bad deal are the batteries. They are usually just not worth the dollar. Better to pay a bit more for ones that are more charged and will last longer. Just my two cents.

It depends on what brand you get. We ferry three or four different brands. Ive never had an issue.

I do love shopping at DT. I just wish it was closer. I always come out of there with a armload of stuff. The thing I don't really like about DT is that you go in there for one or two things, and come out with 10! lol

@thislittlepennyearns I got strawberry which is their favorite. My favorite is the brown sugar.

There's lots of practical everyday items at Dollar Tree or 99 Cents Story not just a weird Oreos flavor.

Did you find a new weird flavor? All we get in now are the original and the golden ones.

We have a Family Dollar, but their prices have sky-rocketed! You got some great items, for a very cheap price:)

I do shop at the DT from time to time, Each store in each town carries different things.
