- These are the top 10 things you should be buying
at Dollar Tree this August, 2023.
And with so many new products,
this could be my best Dollar Tree video yet.
We begin with the highly practical cup caddy.
For the next time you're doing a beverage run
for your friends or family or the office,
this secure plastic vessel
allows you to safely carry up to six beverages.
Could also be great for a party.
From cup caddies to scrub buddies,
this soap dispensing brush
is a dupe of the OXO alternative on Amazon,
which costs seven times more.
Here they are side by side, nearly identical.
This next bargain is from the beauty aisle
where both this moisturizing lotion and skin cleanser
are marketed as Cetaphil equivalents that cost a lot less.
I bought this to compare with the Cetaphil original.
The ingredients are extremely similar
and the performance of the Dollar Tree dupe
can definitely hold its own.
In the number two spot,
all the back-to-school gear is officially on store shelves.
Some of the top picks for my family
include these insulated lunch bags
with different color options
and this product could also come in handy
if you transport a hot lunch to the office.
I love these back to school plaques
which provide a photographic marker
of all of life's important stages.
My daughter, Mara, is heading to senior kindergarten,
and this is definitely something we will use
in her first day photo for our family.
Sensory products are highly popular in classrooms
and these pop it rulers are apparently a good way
to help with fidgeting and focus.
As a rule of thumb, I try to avoid a great deal
of the other back-to-school purchases at Dollar Tree
like notebooks and binders,
even these sandwich bags are cheaper at Walmart.
This brand new sandwich container however,
is something I have my eye on.
I love that the lid is built in for those of us
that are always forgetting the lid elsewhere.
This is a great Dollar Tree pickup.
Before we get to DIY and organization
in the number three spot,
there are too many phenomenal fall finds to include,
but my favorite ones
in the formation of these vibrant garden stakes
are the corn with this intricate mesh design on the inside.
The sunflowers are highly captivating
and definitely a testament to how that increase
to a $1.25 pricing at Dollar Tree
does have an impact on product production.
That same sentiment could apply to these glazed pumpkins
which serve as a bright seasonal accent.
Or these lovely decor pieces
to remind you that fall football season
is right around the corner.
My wife, Daria, does not miss an occasion
to take advantage of those windows stick-ons,
and the decals this year at Dollar Tree are lovely.
As another seasonal decor offering,
these fall doorknob hangers might match your style,
but in our house with our one-year-old
who has just learned how to open doors,
we use this as an auditory alert
for every time Riley is about to do something
he probably should not do.
As a final seasonal item to include in this point,
even though I cannot bear to acknowledge
it's almost time for Halloween,
this LED Halloween projector,
which is battery-powered,
has a much more vivid output
than the ones that we have seen at Dollar Tree in the past.
Might be great to have on hand
if you have kids or grandchildren in your household.
In the number four spot,
we head over to the Dollar Tree Plus section
with this incredible little deal
on this pack of sharpie markers.
You score seven for $5,
which works out to under a buck per marker.
This 70 piece pack of colored pencils,
another $5 high quality Dollar Tree Plus grab.
And I even found myself impressed
with this all-new selection of Halloween decor.
Even though I did mention
I considered the topic a bit premature,
I found items like this LED missed cauldron for $5.
I expect this to sell out very quickly
alongside these four-foot tall Halloween inflatables for $5.
Everything from ghosts and skeletons to these giant pumpkins
that I think I recognized from last year
to greet trick or treaters
or really confuse the folks delivering your packages.
This time of the year,
I expect these haunted doorbells at $5
to be another big seller.
Another fall decor Dollar Tree Plus purchase
I would consider
are these large and in-charge decor jugs and pitchers
for $5.
They look to be of a really nice quality,
more akin to something you might see from a gift store.
A Dollar Tree Plus purchase I would avoid right now
are these gelato containers for $5.
They're cheaper at Walmart
where you will find a much better selection.
And that same approach applies
to these Breyers ice cream tubs for $5.
Although the cookies and cream and Snickers concoctions
almost became an impulse buy for myself.
By the way, if you are enjoying this video,
feel free to give it a thumbs up
as that really helps my channel.
In the number five spot,
I don't remember the last time I was this excited
over a can of compressed air,
but this is not something I've seen
at Dollar Tree in a while
and it's a highly effective way to dust your tech.
I did buy this
and I'm currently enjoying it in various areas of my home.
I have alluded to the upcoming change of seasons
and this four-by-six-foot tarp
is back in stock at my local store.
It could be used to cover outdoor furniture
or assist with seasonal hay transportation
as depicted on the packaging.
I'm always a fan of these stackable bins
for anything from pantry to toy storage,
which I did buy.
These new large baskets with handle
are a bit smaller than your typical laundry hamper,
but they could work well in a dorm
or for anyone who has a few stairs to climb
with various loads of laundry to access a machine.
This three pack of baskets is brand new.
That's a really impressive deal.
That's around .42 cents per piece.
This could be great for crafting or for gift giving.
That time of the year is also not too far away.
Black or gold wire baskets for office storage
and all sorts of organization
based on the lovely variations of this product
looked attractive.
My personal favorite, the gold document trays,
which bring a nice elevated look to any desk
for a very inexpensive price.
In the number six spot,
this mini in size but big in impact compact dust pan
could be great for an RV
or for those of us that consume
an inordinate amount of food for the trunks of our car
for other YouTube videos.
The standard sized dust pans
might be more what you are looking for.
And the extra large dust pan you see right here
with a more durable rubber lip is another possibility
for that same impressive $1.25 price.
These new shiny steel sponges, the brand new,
I've heard some great things from viewers,
so I decided to try these at home.
And I agree, they're solid.
A seven pack of non-stick scrubbers for a $1.25.
Another fantastic value,
safe for non-stick cookware sinks.
This new 2-in-1 window cleaner is a terrific upgrade
from the version Dollar Tree used to sell.
The new one has a sponge on one side
and the squeegee on the other.
The prior version only featured the squeegee.
While we're on the topic of cleaning,
this furniture polish did not catch my eye at all.
Whoever's responsible for the packaging
did not do an effective job in my opinion.
Unless one is staring at this product really up close,
it's nearly impossible to read.
If you've tried it, please let me know.
Reusable gloves from Brillo,
another solid brand name I enjoy seeing at Dollar Tree,
have textured fingers to further enhance your grip,
could be great for a DIY project.
Before I reveal a trending
Made in the USA Dollar Tree find in the number seven spot,
marble-themed kitchen utensils
seem to be of that typical quality you would expect,
although the new aesthetic could work beautifully
with many kitchens.
Hourglass-like modern, extra large wine glasses
are nicely priced at $1.25 each.
I found a set of four on Amazon that look identical for $23.
The highly popular modern coffee cups you see right here
are a mix of a mason jar and a coffee cup.
A pack of two on Amazon is a whopping $18
to put the Dollar Tree price into perspective.
Splatter screens with handles are back.
I bought one of these last year and since then,
I typically only see the screens
without the highly useful handle,
which is great to prevent burns or splash back.
The coveted ice cube tray with included lid
you see right here is back.
These come with a warning,
which you might've heard in a prior video.
They sell out extremely quickly
as they're a much more expensive product
if you purchase it elsewhere.
I was surprised to see this 100-count pack
of plastic forks or spoons for $1.25.
A 96-count of the same thing from Aldi would cost $7.
In the number eight spot and ideal for travel,
this four-pack of antibacterial toothbrush holders
could also serve a purpose for students
heading off to college.
This Made in the USA Chap-Ice Lip Repair Stick
could help with the fall and winter weather,
but for right now,
there's also this Chap-Ice Sport SPF Lip Balm
for that bright summer sun.
And if the summer heat is contributing
to a lack of freshness for your shoes,
don't forget the odor-stopping foam cushion insoles
which you can trim to fit.
I should mention none of this content is sponsored.
If you sometimes enjoy your summer iced coffee
with a side of chocolate,
the Snickers or Twix coffee cans you see right here
combine that whole chocolate and coffee experience
into one ice cold can.
From cold to hot,
this Louisiana hot sauce is new
and it's actually reminiscent
of a bottle I saw in an airport last week
that cost almost $8, which made me crazy.
A six-pack of chicken and veggie or pork,
Bibigo dumplings cost $3 in the Dollar Tree Plus section.
While I'm on the topic of food, I wanted to include this.
Sticking with food for one more moment,
a six-pack of Super Pretzel's $3
and includes a packet of that nice course pretzel salt
to complete the whole experience.
Before I expose a blank and empty
but creative product for my next point,
it's a mystical looking fancy vase.
It seemed to be attracting a lot of attention
when I visited the store.
Wall flower vases are back, a great design concept.
Your more typical transparent round flower vase
with some nice high to it
even for its $1.25 price available this month,
which all pairs beautifully
with the impressive array of fall flowers
that can be further enhanced with the vase decor.
You have the faux pearl beads, the acrylic gems,
and if you prefer to present your arrangements in a bucket,
a nice selection of colored metal buckets
available this August.
For my next point,
I wanna draw your attention to these beautiful
but blank signs.
This might be a new phenomenon for many of us to encounter.
But I love that we're being encouraged
to work within our own creativity
and these could all serve
as some type of interesting DIY decor piece,
including this one I like that's shaped like a house.
For bake sales, DIY labeling,
or even indoor plants,
these chalkboard tag clothes pins could come in handy,
and this Made in the USA chalkboard paint
could help you turn any surface
into a functional chalkboard.
For any Play-Doh fans,
this generic five-pack of modeling dough containers
for a $1.25 could be enticing.
Alternatively, an eight-pack
of the mini modeling dough containers could be of interest,
but for the real thing,
a five-pack of Play-Doh branded containers
is now actually sold at Dollar Tree for $3.
As a kid, I always loved remote-controlled cars.
And as an adult, well, I still feel the same way.
So I bought this.
I wanted to test it out
just to make sure my kids will approve,
and I am most pleased with my purchase.
Before I share a wake up call of sorts from the Dollar Tree,
our Bonus Section begins with an expanded upon DVD
and Blu-ray collection.
I am classifying this as a bonus
as many people now stream their content.
But there are some big recent and highly popular titles
available for a $1.25.
Great for a glove box or an emergency kit,
I found this 21-count first aid kit
with keepsake tin, worth mentioning.
For those shorter, darker days ahead,
that sounds so morbid
but fall and winter dog walkers understand.
And these waste bag holders with the LED torch light
could serve as a lovely seasonal companion
when the days get darker earlier than we'd like.
And Dollar Tree would like to remind you
that 2023 is pretty much over.
So behold, a beautiful variety of 2024 calendars
are now widely available.
So on that note, happy New Year.
Where has time gone?
Thank you for spending it with me.
I love you, bye-bye.
