Dollar Tree Bargains

March 9, 2010 by Aliesha

I’m always amazed at what I can find at the Dollar Tree for only $1! It is literally one of my very favorite places to shop (I’m not kidding!). Here are a few things I scored recently.
1) Spray bottle for watering the seeds I have planted indoors. I usually get a spray bottle at Walmart for the same price, but this one is twice the size of those bottles.

2) Green woven trivets. These came two-in-a-pack, so I thought it was a good deal! And it’s a really pretty green… the picture doesn’t do them justice. (I just realized all three items in this picture are green. It’s one of my favorite colors.)

3) A new pot for my succulent plant. My succulents have outgrown their current pot, so I’m going to re-pot the biggest one in the new green pot and leave the three tall, spindly ones in the old pot.4) A Rubbermaid water bottle. I love this thing! I was going through SO many plastic water bottles and knew that it really couldn’t be good for the environment. I’ve always been opposed to water bottles with straws (I don’t know…maybe because I feel like they are sucking my face inside the bottle?), but when I saw this one I was sold. Pretty top? Check. Big enough? Check. (Holds 20 oz.) Non-face-sucking technology? Check. Just a lid that snaps over a hole to drink out of! Perfect. And the price… unbeatable.Where are your favorite places to find bargains?

    Cool finds! I love Dollar Tree too! I also like to check out Target’s $1 area, but I have to be careful not to buy too much there, just because it’s $1!

    Im off to the dollar tree! LOL! I have a water bottle I use a lot at home.. its the kind they give u in labor (its from when I had taite)… but it wont fit in a cup holder … so its kind of annoying. It is nice however for once ur in bed because its hard to tip over.. but still not practical for out and about.

    Love those green pot holder things, forget what u called them 🙂 I need a few!!

    Love your succulent and the pot you got is perfect. I have a jade plant I really like too and it’s so easy to care. For kids and babies I also like Once Upon a Child. I also have a great consignment store called Trendy Tots where I have found wonderful items and toys too.
