Also, do the bars have a barcode on the wrapper? How are they scanning them individually?😤 I haven’t found any of his snacks yet but, I’m on the lookout!
Hi Lisa, Thanks for sharing, I am in upstate NY and the Dollar Trees have been to taking the boxes of Feastables and breaking them up and are selling them $1.25 a bar. 😠 I think they should not be allowed to do that. (just my option) I feel like we are getting ripped off! If they do that, they should be making them a lower price not $1,25.
Some DT’s in MA do that. The one I worked at always did that and it pissed me off. They do it with drinks, socks, anything in big packs, which is not right and I HATE when they do it.
The great thing about peppermint Is that it will keep bugs away. So a lot of people that I have cleaned for said that they had started noticing like ants. Or a few of the spiders or whatever not a lot. So I will whip out peppermint oil peppermint spray. And it keeps them away
Hey pookie. My dts are also selling the bars individually. I went out of town and found the boxes. I really really wish the dt would put limits on the hot items. For example the sesame Street set. Resellers are coming thru and clearing the shelves and I think everyone should have a chance to get the hot items. I went to one of my dts and the manager told me she sold out of everything in 30 mins to 4 ppl. That is bullshit. Sorry if I offended anyone, that's just my opinion. Jen.
I don’t know if it was a direct result, but I complained to customer support about how incredibly messy and under stocked two of my local Dollar Trees were. I went in a week later and both of them had staff from corporate that were cleaning and stocking.
Tfs Lisa!❤ OK, you asked & here's my take: I am a die hard $🌳 diva. No I do not like the changes they are making. Yes there are still deals to be had, HOWEVER, dt can do better! I went to 2 of my local stores & with this new pricing I found the same item for two different prices. Also, I've noticed some stores do take apart the multipacks & sell them individually. Very frustrating & is gradually turning me off from shopping more regularly. 😢 love you & your content ❤️
They should make the little solar lanterns in the shape of fruits. I have what I call a "LIGHT GARDEN" where I buy just one of the solar lights the DT gets and I just have them all grouped together like a flower bed and I have them all different heights and colors and shapes. Brings me joy and I have my favorites.
I have the spray in the cleaner. And I love it. I think it works really good. I have not tried the wipes seen it. So I will have to go back and see about those.
Hi Lisa! I work as a Stocker at my Dollar Tree and I think what's happening at some stores is the person who stocks the items doesn't look at the package count on the case. It tells you if things are sold individually or like a whole box or a six pack for example.
Hello thank you so much for your comment I really appreciate it!! Ok I thought they had a list! Or something like that! I wonder why the manager is not catching that mistake! Thanks so much for helping ❤️
If they're anything like the manager at my store, they are probably overloaded with a ton to do and they may not have noticed. We haven't gotten those bars yet, but if we do, I will check the label and see what the actual count should be.
Our DT does that even to bottled water of a 6pack. I also hate when all the employees get all the good stuff and if you ask they will go in the office and bring out what is left over. They did that with the Sesame stuff😡 I haven,t seen any cute lanterns 🏮yet in any of our 3 DT's. Love your peanut shirt, Wet-n -Wild also has a Peanut collection like the Sesame Street. Hope that will come out in DT's too. Nice haul. Love from FL.🥰
Unfortunately that’s what’s going on at my closest DT. I went yesterday and there were two dented boxes of the Resses Mini cereal sitting on the shelf. I took one and was going about my own business when and employee literally stopped me and asked me where I got the box. She openly admitted she had boxes on her cart because “it’s all my son will eat”. She basically admitted she didn’t put the whole case on the floor and was about to accuse me of taking product off her cart. It makes me not want to go back. Honestly if it wasn’t for the bakery seconds they get weekly, I don’t think I’d shop there anymore. They never have enough cashiers and this store is obviously not stocking everything they get
Them selling the bars individually would infuriate me. I'd be tempted to open up the bag of cookies and dump them on the shelf and tell them to sell each cookie individually. 🤣 They did that with the 4 packs of Evian canned sparkling water. Get on the ball, DT!!
It’s sad :( everything is going up and now seeing that! It’s like now over 6 dollars if you want a box :( just not worth I don’t think! It’s not a high end grocery store
Nice haul!!!! Where did you find the cookbooks? Just wanted to say that I look forward to your hauls every week and you are the reason I still shop at Dollar Tree.....thanks
Happy you found the whole box , my stores are selling them separate , the employees always keep the good stuff back for their self or their families , which sucks .
Peace Tracy, rather than roll your eyes, is there a legit reason you can't correct/address the situation so the staff/stockers etc realize what they're doing is WRONG?
Sad that the employees are opening boxes and selling individually. If I were you call the customer service line and report that store. Bad management and that is why I left working there.
I could write a very long comment about how I feel about Dollar tree raising their prices, but I will just keep it short and sweet. They are going to raise their prices to the point where they put themselves out of business the writing is already on the wall. They’re already in trouble financially, and they have closed some stores. That’s what happens when you get greedy.
Yep!!! Now if we wanted that box it would be over 6 dollar for the box!!! This is not a high end grocery store! Its hard seeing everything going up and keep going up and now this just kinda makes everything grr 😠
We pay up to 2.00 in Canada and your dollar is way better than ours. Plus we sometimes don’t get the same things and the Canadian dollar tree staff flip out if I ask about something I saw online from the US.
I'm with ya about the great foodie finds and stocking up. When we eat out it's soooo expensive too. Love getting stock up Items as well. We tried the cookies my kiddos enjoyed them they are soft. Me I prefer the waffle cones lol
Right I know your a family of 6 also! Ohh man that’s like 100 or more bucks just for a dinner :( is your stores breaking up things like that? I might have to ask them next time ❤️ I don’t want to sound rude but I’m curious 🧐
What!?!? That’s totally Not right 👎🏻 for the store to separate 😮they also do that with the water 💦 packs. They should be sold-as they came into the store!!
OMG!! I just paid $10 for that coffee pot descaler..exact same bottle! They shouldn't break open packages and sell the bars separately. My stores never get the really popular stuff. I have 3 stores in my city and not 1 got the Sesame Street COSMETICS!!! You got a great haul.
Wow!!!!! I was thinking it was around 8 bucks or so dang! Right I really want to know why they do that? I don’t get it! Yea I have not found much! :( hoping your day is going amazing 🤩
It’s definitely gotten worse since dollar trees first came about I remember going to the dollar tree in the 70s and they had great things to choose from I got a metal mesh pasta strainer it’s vintage now and I use it all the time! It’s my favorite strainer I put it in the dishwasher too it never rusted or dented! SO GOOD 😊
Aggravates me to no end when some stores separate multi-packaged food and drinks. I wonder if they think they are pulling the wool over our eyes or if they just don’t know any better? I haven’t found the MrBeast bars yet, but the chocolate chip cookies are pretty good. They are soft. I liked them. Thanks for showing us some new goodies.
Right I don’t understand why at one but not the other? Don’t all DTs have a rule on it or they can do whatever? I should ask next time but I don’t want to come across rude but I’m just curious 🧐 ohh yummy
A lot of times the individual bar is labeled that is not to be sold individually so that is a clue they should not be opening the packages. I haven't found any Mr. Beast stuff.
Thanks for another great haul Pookie! I would be ticked off to see them selling the bars separately. Greedy greedy greedy! I still love the hunt for a good bargain but those little things make it a bummer. I hope you are having a good week. 💕
My favorite store was selling them as individual bars!!! It made me soo mad!! They must have had at least 50-60 of each flavor. I wasn’t happy when they went from $1 to $1.25 because that was a 25% mark up which is huge. Now they want to make stuff $1.50 which is another 20% increase. I know businesses need to make money but we all know their pockets aren’t hurting.
:( right! I think it’s a big bummer everything is going up and this just adds more sadness to the mix :( but I do love the Dt and love finding the deals!
Yummy!!!!! 😋 you think they would have a list or a note from someone saying this sells like this? I remember when I was a manager at a store I had a list of instructions
I've been did my $2 trees and found those bars in their boxes full size. My son like the double chocolate one. I saw the cookies but they were peanut butter and I didn't think my kids would go for that
Dollar Tree is definitely changing in Florida, where I live. One of my favorite Dollar Tree, which has a dollar tree plus and items selling for $4.25, $5.00, $6.00, etc. Outside of the plus section. They also put scanners in the store so you can check the prices. When I go to this Dollar Tree, I don't even feel like im in a Dollar Tree. I feel like im in a Family Dollar or Dollar General. I do not like this. I only shop $1.25 items. Love all the good finds. I will definitely be on the hunt for the Mr. Beast bars.
Hi Lisa I had that happen with the 4 pk of flavored seltzer there are only 2 flavors and the 4pk is $1.25 plus deposit. I have twice in two different DT had people try to charge me $1.25 each can. They had to get managers involved to verify it is def $1.25 per 4 pk. 🥰
HI Lisa, haven't commented in a while now. Love your peanuts shirt. Would love to know where it came from. I have minimized my shopping due to the higher prices at DT but many things are still a bargain. I over shopped too many DIY items and my house is full of that stuff still (since the pandemic). Hence I only try to buy what I need or will use realistically. I was upset over the .25 increase but now I see so many other things that have really skyrocketed that .25 seems very minimal now. I would love it if you could call the DT home office and inquire re the DT policy of unpackaging and selling individual items from larger packaging. I can't say I have noticed it my stores (Bay Area, CA ) but I would call and complain if I did. Well, thanks for all you do! Enjoy your summer & the beach! 🥰
Hi, Lisa👋🏽 Dollar Tree will have a shortage of merchandise. In the next coming days. A DT Manager received an email saying that the trucks are being rerouted to Oklahoma. Due to the tornado touchdown at the warehouse. Hopefully, it won’t be too bad here in Michigan. Keep your fingers crossed.🤞🏽Ps. Dollar Tree New 2024 calendars is $1.50, not $1.25. It’s on their website😭
When they bought family dollar things started to go bad. They couldnt save F D so they are evolving DT into more if a FD. Also, when they hired the former Dollar General big wig things also started going downhill. I'm looking for dollar deals in other stores. Done with DT.
Yeah some stores are doing things the right way then others are not. I'm still not happy about the price increases either. 😭 Im still a dt shopper but very selective on what I do get. Gotta save money where ever we can. 🙂
Those bars I haven't seen at any of my DT's, but I have seen DT open items & sell things for $1.25 each. I have also seen ppl from other states buy something for $1.25 & when I find it, they have it for a higher price. Also, I have seen where something is $1.25 & an other DT that's not to far from it sells it for higher. All those big packs of tie dye sets you ppl found for $1.25, well I only found them at one of my DT's, but they were selling them for $5. So, I didn't purchase them. I believe the manager made that decision. Not fair. Also, I don't understand why some of my DT's have the bread items for $1.25 & others for $3. I wouldn't waste my money on that coffee cleaner, when you can use vinegar to clean it. You get more vinegar for your money. Sometimes I'll see vinegar at Dollar General for $1. That coffee is delicious. My bf & I give it 2 thumbs up.
I agree with you that things are changing the prices are rising they are ceparating items is just sad because serting people go there for the deals and to safe some money specially with the economy being so high and groceries are overly expensive
I agree with your statement about restaurants. It’s ridiculous to spend that much for food you can make at home. Okay, I want to see you make the crafts in that book😂😂😂 Hugs, friend!
I see a lot of videos and tik toks how dollar trees holds stuff for people of their choice in the back for example the dupe santitizer of the one at Ulta this girl said she seen one lady with a few of them and when she ask about them they said someone done put in for the whole box of them how can they do that. I think that’s why our dollar tree never gets anything good only what they carry on a daily. It gets annoying
They are I love all the employees! They are giving less and less hours to them now and it’s hard to run a store like that 😪 breaks my heart things I have been told
Hi Pookie I got thosemr beast feastables in a 6 pack honestly they can open them up and sell them individually they were gross 😂😂 the chic chip bar ones were so bad I couldn't even finish it but the lb choc chip cookies from same guy are delicious I love those 😉 I've seen what you're talking about the 15 pack water I got as a whole case but I saw those broken up sold individually 🤔 also those granola bars that was a box they cut them open and sold those too by bar so yeah I know what you mean its annoying when it comes in the store one way and you see it different at the $1 tree I love when I find things on clearance for .50 & .75 cents too great buys 😎
Hey sweetie them beast bars I bought them in a box the other day in one of my dollar tree so today I went one half hour away from me and they had cut off the top of the box and selling it for 1.25 a piece and then I went to another one and she said that the manager said that they supposed to sell them separately I was like I’m not paying 1.25 for them small bars she was like me neither I said well I got mine lol I found the whole set of the twist hair products u have a great night
Hello ❤️ dang! This I think is my number one bummer about the Dt! WOW now that’s amazing 🤩 I love Dt we can get good deals but I get upset about this type of stuff
I look at it like Im either gonna deal with dollar tree and their small price increases or get stuck paying the ridiculous price at walmart or Target . I will never find the products I buy at DT anywhere for less than $4-5$. I despise Walmart , and Target is for wealthy people prices are ridiculous 😮 I will take DT and Dollar General anyday
I wonder if it's just new employees or if the manager are telling them to take them out. Kcmo we don't get alot of the good deals you find. But hopefully you and your family have a Fabulous week, know it's been rough. TFS..
Right I want to ask without sounding rude I’m really curious I don’t get it! It makes me mad everything is going up and now I have to pay over 6 dollars for a box of bars at the dollar tree 🤪 that’s not a deal at all!
Did you see there is a new dollar tree on commercial st in south Salem. It’s by the Fred Meyer and Ace hardware. We just drove by yesterday after a Dr appointment.
My local store sold these bars SINGLE… just as they did the 2 pack face masks. Made me so mad especially when I go down the road an hour and they sell them by the box/2pack. GET IT TOGETHER DT!
I thought selling single serving out of a box was illegal. Also, Dollar Tree may not be training their employees properly about laws/rulrs and that’s on corporate
I have heard that some of the things that are being hauled, the employees keep for themself which is fine, but they also sell on sites like ebay , and that's why we never see it in our store. I will say personally I have asked a couple times at two different stores for something I saw hauled and they look down and just say no we don't have it. I saw a video of a woman that wanted 4 hand santizers that everyone is hauling, she wanted them for her kids teachers she was fixing a teacher appreciation basket for them, and wanted to include that. she went to the DT and could not find them, as she was leaving she saw a woman with her husband leaving and she had several, so she asked where did you find that, and she said you have to ask the manager for it. so she went back in ask the manager and she brought out a whole box full of them, and she running her hand thru it like she was counting them, and then she said I can only give you 2. she said I needed 4 for my kids teachers, and she said I am sorry I can only give you 2. something is wrong here. and yes I have seen them break up boxes and sell things that should be sold in the box they came in.. sorry this is long. just wanted to vent since you wanted to know what we thought. thank you Lisa for your hauls and telling us on friday what not to buy. you help us all out..
I really appreciate you comment I know we’re all sad and mad and kinda bummed with the Dt! WOW i wonder if we have to ask because people are taken them without paying or just to keep people from buying it up! Makes me sad! Dollar tree has changed a lot in the last few years! I love the Dt but makes me kinda sad when that stuff happens
@@PookiesView Makes me sad too. I will still shop there but I don't like some things that are happening. I don't like seeing the $1.25 printed on stuff.. that makes it look cheap. so yes I am sad too
I don’t like the recent addition of prices printed on product wrapping, I feel it’s tacky. Also the shrinkage of quantity combined with the increase in price annoys me as it seems deceptive, examples the thank you cards now have four instead of eight so you’re paying 25% more for half as much. An increase of 150 %. Another example, coffee filters now have only 100 when they used to contain 150. There are still bargains but one has to be alert. I still enjoy the thrill of the hunt but I don’t like the direction this is taking.
Selling separately at my store. Like get real, DT. Corporate needs to advise the stores on how to separate or not separate items. Get your crap together. They don't seem to have issues raising the prices so you know they could send a memo if they freaking wanted.
