Consider Not buying these items at the Dollar Tree.
1. Paper Products
Although you may get them for a dollar, the amount you’re getting is certainly not right for the money. For a little more, you could get paper towels and other paper products in vast quantities at other stores.
2. School Supplies

Stores such as Target, Staples or ShopRite often have back to school sales that dole out more supplies for a very reasonable value.
3. Toys
For something that children are going to spend the most time with and may also put in their mouths or swallow, you want to be as careful as possible. So, going for a single dollar, cheap toys is definitely not a good choice.
4. Batteries
Dollar Tree
Cheaper batteries do not come with as long a lifespan as some good quality, branded ones. So, buying good ones for a little more seems a smart choice.
5. Gum
For a buck, you’re not the getting the same amount of gums in one package. If you don’t want the repackaged gums, go for other stores where you could bag a great deal with coupons.
6. Soda

A good branded soda will cost you much lesser at a grocery store. In fact, with a sale or a coupon, you stand to get the best out of your money there instead of a Dollar Store.
