Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I treated myself to something new for the holidays and was shocked by the haul I found at Dollar Tree. Every book was only $1.50, and I expected junk, but after checking Goodreads, the reviews all look genuinely promising.
- The dollar tree has the cutest cards for much less
- Dollar Tree
- Is there a Dollar Tree nearby? They have surprising good offerings in most places.
- Dollar tree for toothpaste, toothbrush and stuff like that where you can get name brands quite cheap
Cons
- Yeah I've never found dollar tree to actually be a good value, ever. Most unit prices are double or triple what you'd get at the big box stores.
- cheap staples like a can of corn it’s going to be $1.25 at dollar tree but $0.50-$1 at Walmart or any other grocery store. Or rice is under $2 for a 5lb bag at grocery stores but $1.25 for a 1lb bag at dollar tree.
- Dollar tree's mostly a ripoff per ounce now. smaller sizes = worse deal only good for spices and candy. aldi crushes it for actual groceries
- Dollar stores are usually not a good value by weight.
- dollar tree is becoming less and less value on most items.

having memories of shopping at the 99¢ store some 20 years ago, i don't have a problem with dollar tree's prices now being 1.25 or 1.50. they are still a great deal.
