In this video The Deal Guy is showing the dollar store secrets behind the recent $1.25 dollar tree prices now that they don't compare as well to their competitors. This do not buy dollar tree video is meant to help you find the best dollar tree deals at dollar tree 2022. You may have seen a Do It On A Dime video where she did an AMAZING job explaining some of the best items to buy but I wanted to compile a do not buy list of everything $1.25 that should be considered dollar tree do not buy.
I hope this dollar tree shopping video with dollar tree secrets and dollar tree tips that should show you when to search for dollar store near me and dollar tree near me and when not to visit the store and instead pick up a better bargain. This dollar tree shop with me was so fun to make and required no dollar tree coupons so I hope you enjoyed it :)

It was a sad day when one of my favorite stores morphed into "Dollar and a Quarter Tree." Thanks for pointing out these particular non-deals, Matt; inflation is a killer, especially those on fixed incomes, so we've got to pay close attention.

@kimberlypatton9634 2 года назад

It kinda felt a bit like we were conned for a while before they waited to squeeze that extra quarter out of us....not seemingly such a big deal all that much ,but when you own Dollar Tree,those quarters add up on the grand scale...And it just made me a bit more discerning ,this tactic seems even more sneaky and deliberately intentional since the vibe is coming through that they're slowly adding merchandise that is a higher $5 ,$10,$15. Price point to shmooze us like it's all innocent! Being a veteran of management in retail for lots of years,I can spot the game from a mile away,and it's not wrong to be in business to make money,it's just the slight tinge of being roped in for a chump in a way ..But I will still get a good deal for my $1.25.Money doesn't just get handed to me free these days .

In essence even at the $1 price point, some items were already priced higher than other stores but it was worth it for the convenience of DT. Now with the +25% price hike it's not even worth it with the convenience factored in.

What not to buy is a great series! Also, another idea I got while watching this, and sort of a spin off of this series: Where to buy your supplies for...1) cold/flu season (tissues at Aldi's, OTC meds at x, cough drops at x); 2) holiday baking (flour at x, sugar at x, decorations at x); 3) holiday decor (lights at x, figurines at x, outdoor blow-up lawn decorations at x); 4) etc.

I was really shocked when Dollar Tree didn't follow Five Below's way of business model of different prices. DT did not have to raise the price of everything in the store at the same time, which as people have mentioned in the comments, is 25 percent on all their inventory. Canned goods, candy, pasta, etc .. still could have stayed at a dollar. I think they got greedy and it will burn them in the long run, as those extra quarters really add up quickly.

@gunstarr8 2 года назад

Former Dollar Tree employee here, it's been such a shame that Dollar Tree took a nose dive down with their price increase on those items. They even sell Hot Wheels cars at that $1.25 price, but is even sold at some other stores for around 95 cents.

Thank you! This is exactly what I have been saying that that $.25 adds up very quickly and it tipped the scales to make Walmart cheaper and you get a lot more variety there.

I came to this same conclusion about baking mixes. Then saw Walmart came up .39 to eclipse them and that the 99 Cent Store had also cut a lot of .99 cent items in favor of 1.49 items (and so interspersed it was a nightmare reading the tags). The true savings is carefully reading dates on items at Grocery Outlet :/

I was just in DT today, and bought less than usual after realizing, I could get most things for less at other stores where I shop.

In the cereal segment I saw to the left Dairy Pure shelf stable milk. And as a big milk drinker I can tell you that this is EXCELLENT quality milk! Better than a lot of store brand refrigerated milk! Unfortunately not all DT stores carry it, I found it once at one of my 5 stores, I bought a bunch of it, but have never seen it again. Some DT stores (none of mine! 😠) carry Gossner shelf stable milk, which is the same milk as Dairy Pure. And that info comes directly from Dairy Pure! I just ordered a case of Gossner from DT, it cost me double the in store price with shipping 😠. PS: Wal-Mart's spring water may be only $1.08 for a gallon, but it does not taste very good.

@dogcatfamily2476 2 года назад

I truly appreciate your wisdom and caring. For those who don't understand the fuss of " it's just a quarter more!" Listen it's a 25% increase with many name brands gone and sizes cut it's no longer a great deal. I depended on Dollar tree for my cleaning supplies, clothes and food spending @$75 a week with it now costing @$97 with 25% increase plus more being taxed for @$88 extra per month. I'm glad they now have greater crafting and clothing options but, I am sourcing much MORE elsewhere. Appreciate the Dollar General tips since I don't look there.👍😘 💲 Tip: the Loma Linda packet entrees are only $1.25 at Dollar tree but, $4.95 at most health food stores and they are unique, healthy and super delicious. Usually in canned tuna/ meat section. Jennifer's Garden Spring Rolls are restaurant quality ( better because you can bake til super crispy not fry!)

@technole 2 года назад

I always think of these things when I stop into Dollar Tree, their profit is tied to people buying some of their slightly more expensive items than you'd get at say Walmart. The convenience of not having to go to another store to get other things.

I ended up spending over 90 dollars at D Tree a few weeks ago, those quarters so add up super fast!! And the quality has gone downhill, sadly.

@Tarkus_ 2 года назад

There have always been items you could get slightly cheaper elsewhere, but at $1, it wasn't worth worrying about. You still felt like you were getting value overall. But now it seems like there's not much point in even bothering to shop there, unless it's for specific items that you know are (still) a great deal.

@x.Aura.x 2 года назад

YESSS thank you for this one!!! so many of us in the DT community have been compiling all sorts of price comparisons now that the price increase went into effect, like you gotta strategize these days and there's constantly shortages so if you can only make it to one store in your area you wanna make it count and make sure you're getting the best price. Walmart and Dollar General let you see ahead of time what's in stock online and in their apps so you can plan accordingly and won't waste gas driving all over trying to track things down. I'm still waiting for more wow factor items to show up for that 25cent increase at Dollar Tree though, and I'm not impressed by the Dollar Tree Plus stores with their $3 and $5 offerings. But it'll take some time. However, fun fact, Dollar Tree seeds are still 4 for a $1 because it's printed on all of their packaging! It should ring up that way automatically but it doesn't hurt to point it out just in case ✌💓

Great video! I don’t know if anyone has already mentioned this, but at Dollar General you can get a 16 oz. box of baking soda (a great non-toxic cleaner) for 55 cents, which also beats Wal-Mart’s pricing. Also, I try to eat organic when I can. I’ve noticed that some natural food stores (like the one near me) sometimes have specials on Annie’s mac and cheese, selling boxes for $1 each.

Good on you for pointing out the price differences now that the $1.25 is in effect at Dollar Tree. In my personal shopping, however, more and more I find myself buying my usual items wherever they are available! The stores where you live seem to be well-stocked, but near my house, if something I need is actually on the shelf where I am shopping at the moment, I'm likely to go on and get it, "while the gettin' is good"! Too often, lately, waiting for a better deal at the next store is a risky strategy, as they may be sold out of that particular thing.

That item shocked me the MOST!

@klupo1100 2 года назад

Matt like many have said I’m glad you shared this with all of us. It may only be a quarter but this shows how companies are taking advantage of the consumer. Also Aldi has gallon water for .99 beating them all. Thanks again Matt for your video.

I don't know why someone would rip you for an honest comparison and the effort it took you to make videos like these. Keep up the good work Lil' Buddy always a Thumbs from this Squirrel.

@Seoulsearch616 2 года назад

I really appreciate your videos. So helpful and with information we can use in our everyday lives. Who has the time, not to mention gas money to run from store to store every time? Your videos help point us in the right direction of where to go for the best prices. Thank you! 👍

I’ve been a loyal Dollar Tree customer ever since they came to our area in the late 1990’s but like many of life’s friendships this loyalty has come to an end. 😞 I “get” why DT had to increase its pricing, but for those needing to watch their budgets doing a little sleuthing will keep more money in your pocket.

@rw8873 3 месяца назад

Please consider doing another of these - the NOT list I find much more helpful than the must buy. Taking a look at the oz. price is important as well! Thanks for your hard work and enthusiasm

@janeballenger1830 2 года назад

I didn’t think the price increase was going to be such a big deal, but you made some really good comparisons. Thanks Matt! Wonderful as always.

@lisat.8138 2 года назад

Thank you, Matt! This is news to me! I had no idea that Walmart prices were lower than Dollar Tree on some items!

@jo-joswelcomehomekollectio7274 2 года назад

Once again. Ty for your hard work to bring better value to our lives through competitive pricing options. Idk how anyone could “shred” you in the comments for trying to help everyone get more bang for their buck. But I appreciate it!!!

@parisgreen4600 2 года назад

Great video, thank you! I love D/Tree, but the new prices are a drag. I just went to Dollar General today, stocked up and compared some prices. Some items that I used to get at D/Tree, that are still $1 at DG: paper towels, tinfoil, gallon zipper bags, tissues, plastic forks and spoons, small trash bags, and dental floss. You can do even better if you have the space and cash to buy in bulk (6-pack of paper towels for $5), but that depends on your situation. Our local DG is a little further than D/Tree, but if I only go 1-2x per month, stick to a list, and bundle it with other errands, I think I'll save in the long run. One bargain at Dollar Tree that hasn't changed - they carry our local newspaper for $1, which is even lower than the marked price ($1.50 for the weekday and $2.50 for the weekend).

Thanks for the research and leg work. Could not help but notice at Walmart the dollar priced Colgate toothpaste you picked up was HALF THE SIZE of the same brand at Dollar Tree (...so TWICE as expensive). The Dollar Tree I frequent is around the corner from work, so I tend to stop by for coffee creamer, kitchen supplies, party or potluck meal necessities and other little things. It's convenient but also the people working there are courteous and helpful UNLIKE my experiences at MegaSize stores. For a few extra cents on each product, I like the dollar stores and their people and will continue to show them patronage FWIW. Still a big fan of you and the fam and ALL the good peeps in your comments section of each video you produce! I think I speak for many when I say: We LOVE you!

@patriciabarr2161 2 года назад

Oh Matt! This sort of videos, comparing sale prices, are a MUST on your repertoire! 😍 Thank you for your work Matt. 🙏

@Vro- 2 года назад

I appreciate the dollars and cents behind this if it's something you want to stock up on. I don't have a Walmart, Aldi or other store close by so you'd have to consider your time & gas is worth something if it's a one off item.

@phyllisriley5509 2 года назад

Thank you sooooo much. I needed to be enlightened on these differences. You are Awesome!

@ruthferguson6903 2 года назад

Thanks Matt. After reading the comments, I am surprised that so many people did not realized that, even BEFORE Dollar Tree increased their price, they were not always the best buy. Over the years, I never shopped regularly at Dollar Tree because I saved more money at other stores, especially when I used coupons, which I did regularly. You have to comparison shop. Dollar Tree does have good bargains on some things and if you buy those things go for it. I won't buy something just because it is cheap. I have to know it is something I need or will use; otherwise, there is no savings.

@joycedagostino8869 2 года назад

Thanks Matt, that was very helpful especially with the price increase at Dollar Tree and what other stores have better deals. Right now stretching the budget is important!

I love Campbell's Kitchen Classic soups. The portion is perfect to fill me compared to a Chunky soup (or store equivalent) which can be a better deal quantity wise but overfills me. Kitchen Classic is still $1 at Dollar General though and at least at my stores, their selection is usually better. One canned food I will look out for at Dollar Tree though is Hanover Soups. It's always $2 or more at the grocery stores here, but shows up at Dollar Tree sometimes although I believe it's overstock as it'll be one or two types. I highly recommend trying Hanover soups if you see it (and like canned soup and the flavor, obviously) as it's some of the best out there in my opinion in tasting closer to homemade.

@auntiegliz737 2 года назад

I love this kind of video. Walmart is raising some prices by a substantial percentage especially on less expensive items (name brand cake mixes $1.34 at my Walmart and a *50%* increase on the Great Value raspberry vinaigrette, for two examples). I expect more price increases especially now that DT has raised theirs, so this is something we all have to keep an eye on. That being said, a price increase at Dollar Tree is way overdue. We've all enjoyed that gravy train for years longer than was reasonable to expect, but I do buy way fewer items at DT now because of the increase. They may end up losing in the long run, as impulse I'll-figure-out-what-to-do-with-this-later purchases will likely decrease a lot. Thanks for the tips!

@David-rx5eo Год назад

I have always been price conscious, but you can't keep items at $1 forever and still get good items for that $1.

@TheTangledSkeinsCrafter 2 года назад

I enjoyed this what not to buy video. Looking forward to more! :) I was disappointed when our dollar tree raised their prices last year. Some of the items are now more expensive than our local Walmart or other dollar stores. It makes it more time consuming and difficult to save money when you have to travel all over town to get the best deals and with gas being so high.

@alexa5927 2 года назад

I was thinking the same. Depending on how much you need to buy, it might make more sense - or in this case, ‘cents’ - to just buy the stuff at Dollar Tree if that’s the closest place. My math skills are definitely being challenged these days when it comes to figuring out the most cost effective ways to get the things I need.

@tiwanaml 2 года назад

With the high price of gas comparison, shopping is the best. Most of this can be done on the web or phone, or an app prior to shopping.

@patriciatinkey2677 2 года назад

But at least Matt will keep us informed & on the right track!

@teressagoldstein3769 2 года назад

With the compare to prices you quoted from other stores it would seem that it’s always been cheaper to shop around elsewhere for same price or cheaper before the .25 cent price hike. I too love Dollar Tree especially for seasonal and party decor plus few other items that they have as a special buy. Although not all stores carry same items and with higher gas prices it’s not worth it to shop around at other Dollar Trees for that particular item. Thanks for video!

@nellyquinones4152 2 года назад

I appreciate what you do by helping the consumers to find items at a better price but it also depends on where you live. Dollar General is not as cheap in my area than Dollar Tree on most of the items. I still feel that your videos are helpful keep up the good work.😉

@cindygrothe7474 2 года назад

Thank you for this video and comparing all those items.now I know where to save on products I use.

@MoneyMindedMichele 2 года назад

In some ways the price hike at DT has meant higher quality merchandise as far as their seasonal and special buy/close out from big retailers is concerned. For the more everyday stuff, yes, you have to be more judicious when deciding what is a better deal there vs other retailers.

@thedealguy 2 года назад

I agree! Still love the dollar tree for many different items, but just wanted to point out these specific items for regular shoppers :)

@kdaonne1 2 года назад

Good morning Matt. Thank you for showing us the differences and disparities of price, quantity and Net. Weight. You are truly a Deal Guy. Thank you for your willingness to be transparent about shopping and how we have to be wise and “knowledgeable” consumers during this tumultuous time in our economy. And of course blessings and best wishes to you and your lovely family.

@gailjoe7217 2 года назад

Thanks for the pointing out Deal Guy! My only complaint with Walmart by me which may not be worth the savings and spending the quarter more at Dollar Tree, is their parking lot. The Walmart parking lot is a hassle to find parking and get out from. Dollar Tree's parking lot is certainly a safer and less tedious endeavor, and there are also 3 of them within a mile of the house when we go for walks.

@rosemaryj 2 года назад

That is what is great about my area, a couple of the Dollar Trees are in the same lot as Wal Mart or the next lot over, so I can go online and see which has cheaper things I might need or want. I agree on most of the things, but at least in my area of Orlando. I found some Dollar Trees have 3 packs of ramen for 1.25, but for the larger ones I go right next door to Walmart, and at times I find large name-brand cereal. Also some (not all) canned goods can be found for a dollar still. The one I go to had some baking soda (not arm and hammer) for less than a dollar. I found large box of pumpkin spice Cheerios, Count Chocula, etc. As for soap, if you get the small soap, it's better to go to the other stores, but I seen some refillable 32 oz name brand soaps at Dollar Tree. Sometimes I find name brand pens. Bic and Paper Mate at DT.

@Mustlovebooks15 2 года назад

Since dollar tree raised prices I pretty much don’t shop there anymore. That $0.25 per item really adds up quickly and makes me double think what I buy instead of all the impulse buying I used to do there.

@RLR117 2 года назад

SAME!

@aliblue3605 2 года назад

I only go there if needed. Not big on Dollar tree since they raised prices.

@gopherb3985 2 года назад

@b.k.r.doggielover5449 2 года назад

They lost a loyal customer with me. I am always price checking. And DT isn't the best place to go for a bargain anymore. That quarter really adds up. And their CEO is lining pockets with that extra cash. Shameful.

@gokaijourney2105 2 года назад

Thank you for doing so much work! Confirms what I had thought when the price changed happened.

Your absolutely right the only thing I bought at Dollar Tree was readers for $1.25 which mind you I only bought 3 pairs last time will buy them there you good job on you letting the consumer know to save money thank you very much we all appreciate that

I dont even shop at Dollar Tree, but I needed to know What Matt thinks. I just came for the Hello, and wishing your family all the best. Thank you Matt, also I'm waiting on my email from the security company. Thank you for the discount 💜

@jodip1661 Год назад

Great list. I've noticed a few items on your list were no longer great deals, but others I didn't know. Thank you so much!!!

@mmmitchell6887 Год назад

Good info 🙏! As soon as I saw the .25 increase at Dollar Tree, I knew the better values were elsewhere.

@barbkellen6658 2 года назад

Yes, I found out the hard way when it came to the school supplies for my grandkids I went to dollar store THINKING (this is what I get lol) it was cheaper. Then later went to Target for items that DT didn't have. I was so defeated. NOW I know!! LOL Another thing I will not buy at DT even if they are cheaper there is the batteries! A lot of the items even before the DT price increase were still cheaper else where. I think a lot of time time for some they do like to price compare but for lack of "not wanting to make another stop" we'll get it while we are in DT so there for getting it at DT. Thanks for doing the leg work for us!! You ARE appreciated Matt!!

@rosemarygrabowski5834 2 года назад

Thanks, Matt---this video is very helpful! I think you could do this kind regularly. It may be "only" 25¢ more at Dollar Tree now, but those quarters add up, and we're all pinching pennies even more these days. One more note: school supplies have almost always been cheaper at other stores, especially during the 'back to school' sales. You rock, Matt!!

@redblacklife 2 года назад

Yep, good things to point out. I still go out since there is definitely some cooler/better brand items now, but glad I stocked up on the basics before they raised their prices. Food is definitely not the area to buy, I only stick to some of the frozen stuff/out of convenience oh and the sundried tomatoes, sea salt, good health chips.
