It is a big day. A big day indeed. Here's the deal. The Dollar Tree opened in Chaska today. Yes, I shop there. But do you know who loves it the most? Lily. My 11 year old daughter Lily. She makes jokes about dreaming about it, about roaming the aisles and about winning the lottery and spending all of the winnings at The Dollar Tree. Why is it a cool store? BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS A DOLLAR!!!
What did I buy today? Three packages of clip-on pumpkins to dress up a front door wreath for fall. A black tee shirt for Lily that she needs for her school play. 2 pairs of black socks with cats and polka dots on them for Lily's play performances next week. 6 rolls of tape and a dispenser for my son Zach. And a package of 4 sharpies. I spent 8 bucks plus tax. That is it. BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS A DOLLAR!!!
Might I add, Lily discovered chips that taste better than Doritos, have half the fat and they are A DOLLAR!
My favorite gluten free PopChips are only A DOLLAR!
I buy many things only from that store. I often shop at The Dollar Tree about three times a month. I guess I am a bit of pro.
Here is my top 10 list. Because THE DOLLAR TREE OPENED TODAY IN CHASKA!
1. Zip Lock Bags
2. Medical supplies such as bandages, bacitracin, hydro-cortisone, ibuprofen, cough drops and allergy meds.
3. Hallmark and other high quality Greeting Cards
4. Party Decorations (all themes)
5. Christmas Wrapping Paper and wrapping paper for all occasions
6. Office supplies, calendars and school supplies ( the washable markers, both thin and thick are the bomb, but avoid the weird waxy crayons. Nobody likes them. Always stick with Crayola.)
7. School Snacks- Veggie Sticks, Rice Cakes, Pretzels, Fruit Snacks, Cookies.
8. Weird food items that are amazing. Shelf stable soy milk is great for traveling. Their pizza sauce is wonderful. We make our own pizza's a lot, and we love it. Dirty Rice and Beans. Fantastic selection of simple packaged sides. Cereal. Yes. My kids love the full size boxes that they sometimes have of name brand cereals. And full size jumbo movie theater candy. (See the picture above. Isn't that a beautiful sight?! All the shelves looked like that this morning! Perfectly stocked!)
9. Kitchen Utensils. I counted over 50 items for use in the kitchen. Not all of them are quality, but at least 40 were. Measuring cups and measuring spoons, plates, cups, bowls, pizza cutters, sugar jars, the list goes on and on.
10. Holiday Decor. Every holiday, The Dollar Store is ridiculous. SO many cute things and lots of great items that I send to school with my daughter to give to her teacher to decorate the classroom. (They shouldn't have to pay for everything. Help a teacher out!)
Best of all. IT IS ALL A DOLLAR!
So shop. Shop local. Shop at the Chaska Dollar Tree today!
