by Lauren Novak

Published January 26, 2020

Dollar stores can be filled with some great deals. On the flip side, they can be filled with junk that might not be worth the small price. If you simply learn which products are the best deals and which products you should buy elsewhere, shopping at the dollar store can be worth it.

There are many different dollar stores, but the big three are Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, and Dollar General. Of course, these days they offer products for a little over $1. These can still be great deals and save you tons of cash! Let’s start with the BEST deals to always shop for at a dollar store:

It doesn’t always make sense to buy an expensive card or decorations that will just get thrown away. Many dollar stores have great greeting cards that are only $1! You can also get plastic plates, cups, utensils, streamers, balloons and other party decorations for a fraction of the price at another store.

Many dollar stores offer name-brand food items or generic replacements that taste just the same. A dollar store is definitely the place to go for snacks, candy, and drinks.

3. Personal care products
