DOLLAR TREE * PRICE INCREASE * WHAT'S ON THE SHELVES???? 

Dollar tree is coming to an end. 😢

Soon Dollar Tree will be just another Family Dollar

I was cranky when it went from Dollar Tree to the Dollar 25 Tree. $3-5 get outta here! Stuff at WalMart be 98 cents.

This makes my stomach hurt. The dollar tree was the one place I could always go and get what I needed and not worry about the price. I've depended on it for years. This will hurt a lot of people.

I understand that Dollar Tree is selling more expensive products now and so some of the prices are higher. I just hate to see the items that we have been buying for $1.25 go up in price. That does bother me.

Some people won't be able to afford things anymore. Sad!

So basically the customers have to pay for the new floor and the revamp by raising the prices. 😂

I didn't mind the $1.25 but now it's ridiculous to me.

At least the Dollar Trees you go into are nice and orderly. The ones near me look like the hogs and cows done been turned loose... every single day.

I feel that the Dollar tree with the price increase felt that since every one else is going up they followed suit, but on another note, I feel that it will be soon be the beginning to the end, because now you are in competition with your larger retailers.

I refuse to go down the Dollar Plus aisle. I didn't go there for anything over $1.25. I'm not even looking at it.

I liked it when it had more cheap practical items.😮

That is why the are closing a 1000 dollar trees and Family dollar,bc ppl arent shopping for their cheap products for the higher prices .. you are so awesome. I love your videos ❤❤from NC

They have raised it twice, it’s all downhill from here. I’m sad about it

I really stopped shopping at Dollar tree when they went up 25 cents. I go to Walmart alot more and shop Target dollar spot. I can still get household cleaning supplies for a dollar at Walmart and if I search around, I can find the same bargains for the basic stuff there too. There is no reason for me to choose Dollar tree over Five Below now

Too bad, like you said it was more fun knowing you could go in and everything is $1. I definitely will not be stopping in that often.

Price increases would be okay if my salary went up also!!

DT now has 15 price points....from $1.25 to $7.00 😡 They've gotten too greedy for me, so I'm done with them. A lot of what they carry I can buy cheaper at Walmart now. They really should change their name because they're no longer dollar tree. Some of their stuff is higher than 5 Below too. The products in the 2 stores here aren't organized by price. They're intermixed all thru the store with many products not even labeled with the price or a sign. It's too much hassle to have to find someone to scan it to find out what each thing costs. I saw that in some bigger stores, they put in scanners for people to scan the unmarked items themselves to find the price. 🙄 They can keep their over priced stuff !!!!

Then it’s not the Dollar Tree anymore. Very sad. The thing I loved about DT was that you don’t have to look at the prices, you feel like you can shop freely without watching every penny. It may as well be Dollar General, what’s the difference. I’m certainly not paying $5, I don’t know if it would be a better buy in Walmart or even Target Bullseye area. The store is only so big, something has to be cut out, and there are a lot of regular necessities people need. They keep pushing more choices. If I want more choices I’ll go elsewhere. NYC does not have Walmart and very limited malls, like one in each outer borough. Everything difficult to get to, certainly no parking lots. Very difficult to obtain what you need, and terrible for those on limited incomes and elderly. They also made an app, which works as poorly as their website.

Well you asked for my opinion and here it goes..... This store was the only store left that we could all go into and it was $1.00 and we all knew it. If we wanted to go get something for over a dollar we can go to other stores to do so. This was all our happy place. A place we can know by counting our items how much it would be except with the little extra tax of course. Now they have very sneekinly raise the prices up little by little which was their intentions to begin with. They just didn’t want to slap it in your face all of the sudden. They wanted for the public to get used to the idea of little things here and there first and adding the .25 to the dollar items. The CEO has turned greedy. He saw that by increasing the .25 brought in extra more. I think if us consumers don’t take a stand and picket outside saying BRING BACK DOLLAR TREE TO A DOLLAR! Dollar Tree will be a thing of the past. He is getting greedy and we need to stop shopping in there and take a stand. If nobody goes in to spend there money in there they will be forced to lower there prices again.WE AS THE BUYERS CAN DO THIS! If they don’t make money off of us they will not be able to sell at such high prices. We have control. We are the ones making him rich. Let’s take a stand cause it’s the only thing we have anymore to go to when we need $1.00 items.

We will either have to get used to the changes, or stop shopping there.

I’m fearing $5. Is the new $1.00

I don’t like the change. Dollar tree was the place I could take my grandbabies and feel like a millionaire, lol. Now I’d have to ask them how much something is before I buy it😢

Dollar Tree was a place to buy close out or discontinued items for $1.00, then $1.25. But now it’s just another Family Dollar /Dollar General! It will be Walmart or Target for me, after all Target has coupons and rewards. Good bye to an era 😢

A price increase wouldn't bother me as much, if I knew it meant that they were increasing employee wages, but I doubt it.

This is so sad to hear. Dollar Tree was fun to shop in when it was $1. You could buy something without feeling like you had to check the Walmart price. Once it went to $1.25, I just shopped there a lot less because $1.25 adds up and there wasn't so much the feeling of a bargain. When DT goes to multiple prices, I will be done except for some of the holiday, crafting and office supplies assuming they remain $1.25. If they have multiple prices on these kinds of items, I'll probably just go in for the wreath frames since those are unique to DT. I hate the 99¢ Store, Family Dollar and Dollar General because you have to check every price and it's not worth my time and effort (not too mention how dirty and disorganized they are). The same will be true for DT. I'm truly sad to hear this.

The issue I have with our store is there is not near as much for $1.25 as there used to be to make room for the $3 and $5 things.

My DT changed over with the different prices awhile ago. I don't like it. 😮 I miss when you knew the price for everything. Now I gotta pay attention when I put things in my basket. 😅

Absolutely one of the most organized and clean Dollar Tree I have seen in years

It's fine. Can't change it. As long as people can still get their basics for 1.25.

I know that changes are inevitable, but you may as well shop at Wal-Mart/Five Below

Those starbucks drinks tripped me up. I bought two thinking they were going to be $1.25....NOPE $3.75. I've never been so mad at my dollar tree for not properly displaying the price of these items beforehand 😥

They need to change the name of the store..everything is sky rocketing

You don’t have to fix your hair for me ! Your scarf is cute🤟

Hey Pretty! This is just another change in the world 🌎 of retail. It seems they are bringing in more $3-$5 dollar items, and less of the $1.25 items. On the other hand, you're getting more, but paying more at the same time. I have learned to adjust to changes I've encountered and keep moving. Did you know some DT's have self check machines? Thank you for sharing and have a beautiful blessed day. ❤

I want to thank you pretty for bringing to our attention the price up at dollar tree. BUT girl every thing else has gone up, so to me its really not a shocker lol 😂 I just go with the flow 😮😮😮😂😂😂 take care girl 👧 ❤❤😂😂

The increase in pricing is an unfortunate issue that affects everyone, plus the quality sometimes gets lost in the process, too. It’s very sad 😢

It seems like they are simply expanding the DT plus items. The items that are typically $1.25 haven’t changed! I like that we have more options!

I’m disappointed like so many others. It was unique and fun to shop for deals when it was all $1. With the variety of prices being introduced, it is just another store where we need to compare prices with other stores to get the best deal. It loses its appeal and I don’t stop in as often. When I do go in, I don’t buy the higher priced items based on principle. I have heard from others that they do the same.

Sad to see prices change....might as well go to Walmart, Big Lots, and the other stores as the draw for Dollar tree for me is not there. I may go in to look from time to time but I won't be buying much there. That same thing happened to the 99 cent only stores....I rarely buy anything in there now. They will probably lose some customers but raising prices for those that still go will balance out for the store in the long run as prices will continue to rise.

Dollar Tree was like the last place you could go and feel like, yeah I can afford this and I'm not being overcharged. Disappointing 😒If I wanted Five Below stuff, I would go to Five Below. On the other hand, for people that don't have other options like Five Below, it may be needed. And hopefully, if they're increasing prices, product quality and size will go up too.

I hardly go now to DT and have been going to Dollar General for the $1 items. tfs

I personally am so disappointed with Dollar Tree! These companies don't care anything about us, the consumer. I had an experience a couple weeks ago with some items that were $3.50 & $5.00, unbenounce to me. Needless to say I couldn't get my money back because as we all know, DT only does exchanges. Because of them raising their prices, we should take a united stand and demand they give refunds like every other retail store. I promise you that I will NOT buy anything over $1.25! If I wanted to pay more then I would go to Walmart, Target, Dollar General, etc. They just had to be greedy and change things. I'm not happy at all!!!

We are getting Dollar Tree/Family Dollar stores built in my area. Its a combination of both stores,only a few rows have $1.25 items.

They should change the name of the store

I can tell u those $5 furry blankets r AMAZING & they r the same size & feel like the $20 ones from Walmart or dollar general! I buy a lot of them for the homeless bags I make & I cleaned out a whole row when I saw them because u can't beat a $5 throw blanket!!!

Well everything is going up in price!

I’ll just be shopping at Walmart for comparisons 🥳

Five Below changed too a few years back, because they they have items over $5.00.

I was really upset when dollar tree went up 25 percent .not even 10 percent .that was crazy ,then got use to that ,now this ,not very happy, at least target has some items in dollar spot for a dollar. Thanks for letting us know❤😊

I wonder if they will raise stuff to $1.50? Another store that's not worth driving to.

I rarely go into Dollar Tree now, so this isn’t an incentive for me to go at all. If I have to check prices I’d rather go to Walmart. But that’s just me. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I used to be able to turn my son loose in Dollar Tree, and give him a fun $10 shopping spree. Can’t do that now because he won’t be paying attention to the prices, and I’ll get to the register owing $50. 😂

At my Dollar Tree in Phoenix Arizona the minimum price of 1..25 has gone up to 1.29. Nothing is less. Has had the plus higher section for months. Compare prices in other stores before buying at Dollar Tree unless it’s the only store close to you. I’m disappointed with higher prices. Not able to save as much money anymore which my family needs.

The fun of Dollar tree was knowing everything was a dollar. I guess the change is ok but it's just not the same.

Its the Dollar Plus + ridiculous!!!

I have to say that I always enjoyed shopping at the DT because you could find good stuff and occasionally name brand deals at $1 and then $1.25. I quickly do check the $3 and $5 aisles but something had to be pretty spectacular for me to buy it because I can get that kind of stuff at Walmart, Big Lots, Aldi, Five Below, etc! Also, this is going to confuse lots of shoppers who don’t look at the package to check for a price and assume what they are buying is $1.25! ☹️

I don't like the change. They mixed the higher priced items with the $1.25 items so you have to be careful when you shop. I find myself taking longer to shop because I'm looking at the prices. LOL! Your right it's going to be like the 99cent store...booooo 👎. Maybe just need time to get use to but I did lose some interest in my favorite store 🙁

I don’t agree with the price increases on same size items, especially in the food section for those who can only grocery shop at DT, it’s too much…Now it’s just like any store, it doesn’t feel special. Now I go in and wonder if I can find a similar item for a better price elsewhere.🤷🏻‍♀️

Sign of the times...unfortunately😞 We all had fun while it lasted though😏

Here in Massachusetts it's been changed since the 1st of the year! Some they are calling DollarTree plus.. i don't like it. I have bought stuff in the $1.25 section an it rang up $5!

It looks like things are pretty much the same except the Plus part is throughout the store instead of certain isles. What I’ve been hearing is that the $1.25 stuff is going up to $1.50. I didn’t see you find that.

I think they raised their prices too much in one go. Maybe if the raised in to $2 instead of $3. They are going to price them out of the market.

Sry but I dont like where they've gone. Being on a fixed income I used to depend on the Tree to make the most of my limited money.

I try to stay in the lower priced section. The joy was finding something for such a cheap price. I tend to just buy craft stuff for the kid and cleaning stuff for me. Sometimes basic containers for organizing. I stay away from the electronics. I dont trust the quality so no point in paying $5+ to just throw it away. Its also giving me Big Lots.

Rumor here in az was the prices were being raised to 1.75 and that they would all eventually become like "family dollar" hence why some states have a dollartree/family dollar sores combined 😢

You have to know your prices. Unfortunately I found many name brand items are now cheaper at Walmart than Dollar Tree. For example, 1 item was $.40 cheaper and another item was $.76 cheaper at Walmart! 😢

I honestly wouldn't mind paying more if my stores looked half as stocked and as organized as your stores. I have 4 stores in my area and every single one of them looks like they're having a going out of business clearance sale. The shelves are mostly bare random with items scattered and piled up all along the the bottom of the shelves. Boxes full of items waiting to be put on shelves in every isle and empty display boxes filling the empty spaces on all the other shelves. Also they only open one line and it's almost always so long that I will leave instead of wasting all that time in line for one or two items. 😕

I think it would be nice to see the price per oz. on items bc there’s no way some of that stuff is a better deal; Crest, Oreos, generic cereal. Personally, I find myself just going for the $1.25 items. Anything else and chances are I’m buying it at Walmart.

We (in NJ) had a store called DEALS that became a Dollar Tree. I loved it but I also liked when everything was a dollar in the store. I do like the Plus Section of DT that they currently have. I got some nice Halloween, Christmas and Easter decor well worth the 3-5 bucks and some good storage options too.

I go to Dollar General $1 isle and get a few things they may be cheap and small but its in my budget.

Mine has a few shelves of $3 and $5. DT Plus. But I saw 1lt soda signed for $1.75 ( I don't drink side so I don't care) Mine is an absolute hole. So I only enjoy DT when I hitch the wagon up and venture out of town. 😂 Thanks for sharing!

It was bound to happen. I think the best part is better quality and selection. I hope they will continue with cleaner and more organized stores with merchandise on the shelves instead of boxes on the floor. Also more checkers would be nice to keep the lining up at a reasonable level. Great and thoughtful video! Always appreciate you❤❤

I liked Dollar Tree when everything was a dollar. If I wanted other options I'd go to 5 below. Job lot, Odd lot, ollies etc. etc. Most of Dollar Tree's $5 items appear to be 5 Below items. I do agree that when this price change occurred the flooring and shelving changed too

Thanks for all of the info and the walkthrough. Personally I wish it had all stayed $1.25, but you made a good point that some areas don’t have much more than a Dollar Tree to shop in. If this helps them, then I’m totally fine with it. TFS xo Jen

You look great as always

Tfs. Dollar Tree has an app now you can use in stores to check prices. Some stores have scanners.

I was upset at first but as long as they keep the products that are already set as $1.25 the same price I think it will be ok. But then again they probably won’t stock as much of the $1.25 stuff because they need to make room for the more expensive stuff. Ugh.

At15:27, there are lilac silicone brush holders with suction cup attachments. I bought eight of these when they first appeared in stores to use as brush dryers. I can finally properly dry the brushes in a vertical position so moisture doesn't seep back up into the ferrule

Hi, I live in Las Vegas and my gf is manger at a DT and she. said they r rolling out in April all new prices so get what u need now

So it’s all running together??? I am a teacher so I’m waiting to see if this will impact school stuff. Sometimes I use dollar tree on stuff I know kids will destroy. My Amazon stuff is top shelf.

Yea definitely giving dollar general vibes now hardly anything low low

You can check the prices by scanning them online. I don't like that Dollar Tree NEVER HAS ANYTHING ON SALE‼️🤔 Anywho, if it means that employees will be paid more AND the stores will be neater...then I am all for it. Also, STILL WAITING for the $1 items. 👀

Happy Tuesday Ms Pretty ❤...... great video ❤..............❤ Mary

IT'S NOT GOING UP. Let me break it down to y'all. 😀 The majority of Dollar Tree items are still going to remain $1.25. What is going to change is the new PLUS section that they're adding, and as you can see there will be stickers indicating the prices (if not, it's that one store that failed). Also helium isn't cheap, hence balloon prices are going up (but this is everywhere). Soda is up, because this being done by the vendors request, not DT. Sunglasses and prescription glasses are up as well, this is DT choice. Not much else is changing. Supply and demand plus the tariffs are all contributing to this. Gone are the days of shopping at 1 store for all of your needs. 😞

Yes they are definitely trying to compete with 5 below!

I dont mind in the stores that are clean,stocked and have enough employees. However,most of the stores near me stink! Their raised prices have not changed how crappy some of the stores are!

The $1.25 is okay but hopefully that price don’t change.$3 to $5 is okay for some items

But I am also trying my best to not go shopping as much anymore because of all the prices now and how smaller the products we are getting there now too I use to go all the time but been going almost every 3 months now

Now I have to compare prices and items between my DT and my Grocery Outlet store...more work for us to get the best prices now😞

It is what it is!! It will be up to each person to decide if an item is worth an up charge or not🤗!

That's great that Dollar Tree is carrying more name brand items (at a higher cost). However, some of the $3.75 items I can find cheaper at someplace like Walmart, or on sale at the grocery store.

Its giving Dollar General vibes..

Are the prices low enough for me to make the extra trip there or just grab what I need at Walmart with my groceries? That what I’m thinking is the extra stop worth it? I’m not too sure anymore. I usually get all my cleaners there at Dollar tree. Maybe I better try and stock up before our prices here get raised too.

Yes it’s $5 where I live , I’m from Washington DC

I was cool when the dollar tree went up a quarter but now we might as well go somewhere else.

I used to go to Dollar Tree once or twice a week.,and spend about 15 dollars a visit, just because I was in the store hunting for bargain finds. I've on;y been three times since the price went to 125. I think last time I bought a card.

I like the stores with the plus sections because it gives you more options and is still ❤budget friendly.

I went to Dollar Tree last week and the prices had changed throughout the store. They also installed price checker/scanners (like at Target) in the aisles, which was a good thing, especially with so many different prices throughout the store.

I understand the price changes. Selling everything for $1 wasn't sustainable anymore. Hopefully, the overall quality of the merchandise will be worth the increase. Mainly because when the prices went to 1.25 a lot of items got smaller & less.
