1. Products are cheaper because they are smaller
Here’s the first entry on our list of dollar store secrets: To keep their products at one dollar, these stores often sell smaller products compared to ordinary retailers. This can only mean one thing: Yes, you’ll be happy to save some money when purchasing the products, but you’ll eventually come back to the store to buy a new one faster than expected.
In fact, dollar stores aren’t the only type of store that relies on this sneaky strategy. There are many other renowned brands that do the same thing, and you should be aware of them.

I was just at my Dollar Tree and most items are now $1.25. But I disagree about your comment about food items. Canned goods are a great deal and there are a number of name brands. I just bought Campbells, Healthy Choice and Swanson canned soups. There were also DelMonte and Dole fruit and veggies in cans. Regular size cans. And the brand of Gnocchi is Pampa and from Italy. I also see same at my grocery store. I suppose all stores are different.
I completely agree with you. I buy dry beans, and there’s nothing wrong with them. Also a few frozen items are great. We need to do our own research.
I totally agree with you.. there definitely items or products that are cheaper than the grocery stores, etc… Still best place to shop for discounts
wish this was for Canada!
once when traveling, we could not find a grocery store and it was the only place we could find a loaf of bread. Once while staying in a resort area, i.e. prices in the stores and restaurants were very high so we went to the dollar store and bought 1/2 pints of ice cream for $1.00 each. It was great for dessert or a snack while we watched TV. Now we only buy facial tissues at the Dollar store for $1.25 and that’s still cheaper than Sams and the grocery store.
whoever throws shade on Dollar Tree has not had much experience with these stores. Or else hasn’t done much shopping anywhere over last several years. it is absolutely one of my favorite places to save a few bucks, including many canned goods, eye glasses, pet supplies, mouthwash, kitchen tools, etc, etc.
Yes, I agree about canned good another replier made! I buy Healthy Choice Chicken Rice soup on line by the case because I am GF and this soup doesn’t bother me!!!!! So I buy 5-6 cases and pick it up at my local Dollar Tree. Great to have on hand in case of emergency as well!
I love dollar tree.
