- These are the top 10 things you should be buying
at Dollar Tree this May, 2023.
And with so many new products,
this could be my best Dollar Tree video yet.
We begin with one of the handiest little gadgets
I've encountered for $1.25,
and it's this magnetic pickup tool.
I bought this to test,
and it extends around three feet
with a very powerful magnet.
In the event a screw falls behind an appliance or keys,
fall into an impossible-to-reach crevice of your car,
this is great for daily life and DIY.
I was happy to find
this Arm & Hammer Garbage Disposal Cleaner.
This is a four-time-use pack.
It has a nice lemon scent, and it works as promised.
For your laundry machine,
I found a nearly identical replica
of this washing machine cleaner from Tide.
The three-pack dupe from Dollar Tree is $1.25,
while the Tide version costs $7.92.
And if you frequently pay with cash
or have any upcoming garage sales you plan to host,
this money-counterfeit pen has an ink
that will turn dark if a bill is forged.
It's another practical find.
In the number two spot,
it's all about organization on a dime,
starting with this two-pack of rotating grip hooks.
This is a game-changer if you wear the number of ties I do,
but it's also great to help organize belts
or other accessories that wouldn't hang quite so nicely
on a traditional hanger.
While we're on the topic of organization,
these new wide-fridge storage bins
work brilliantly to auto-dispense your soda or beverage cans
but this could also work with condiments
and other items that need to be refrigerated
yet contained in one place.
If you're looking to contain other items
that might otherwise sit on the floor,
the giant storage hammock
that you see right here for $1.25
retails at around $5 each on Amazon.
I was excited to see this next woman-owned brand
at Dollar Tree,
and they're tied to these new silicone storage bins,
which can handle utensils or bathroom product organization.
They can be washed easily.
These stackable drawers are fantastic
for a closet, a vanity.
They could even assist with jewelry organization,
or if you tackle many DIY projects,
this new plastic hardware storage container
is wonderful for all sorts of home improvement projects,
even beauty organization or crafting.
In the number three spot,
spring or summer cleaning gets kicked up a few notches.
I was so excited to see this LA Totally Awesome
Grill and Oven cleaner descend upon my local Dollar Tree.
I've had immense success with products from this brand
and look forward to trying this out.
From the same brand,
I found this new ultra-concentrated version
of the Totally Awesome liquid dish detergent.
If you have tried this,
please let me know in the comment section.
While we're on the topic of dish soap,
many of you have asked why I don't feature the Dial
or Softsoap from Dollar Tree due to the $1.25 pricing,
and that's because it's a bit cheaper at Walmart.
So that's why.
One thing I would consider buying this May
is the handheld duster brush you see right here.
It's great for cleaning any surface at eye level.
I prefer this to a Swiffer based on its shape.
It's great for bookcases, TVs, mirrors,
and I love that it's a machine washable
and obviously reusable product.
I know many of us weren't happy
when Dollar Tree raised their pricing by a quarter,
but this very popular made in the USA
Mr. Plumber Drain Opener was 32 ounces
before the price increase,
and it's now 42 ounces,
so you get more product for your money in this case.
The often trending on Amazon PVC soap savers
you see right here that protect your countertops
from soap residue and present your soap from getting funky
are now priced at $1.25 for a two-pack.
In a moment, I'll reveal some spicy savings,
but first for 0.4, we shift briefly
to the Dollar Tree Plus section
with these Americana door signs.
I love the build and variety of these signs at $5,
great for an entryway,
and perfectly timed with Memorial Day
right around the corner,
which I'll address later on in this video.
If you are traveling for the upcoming long weekend
or visiting a lake or ocean anytime soon,
these new beach towels at $5 are plush, large,
and in my opinion, very well-priced
with some cute sayings like reserve and vacay mode.
For a tropical breeze at the office,
this USB desk fan at $5 is ideal
if you want the USB-powered option,
but if you're okay with battery-powered,
don't forget that Dollar Tree has handheld mini fans
for only $1.25.
As much as the $5 pricing at Dollar Tree
makes me slightly uncomfortable,
the outdoor seat cushions at $5
are a great source of comfort and a phenomenal purchase
given what you would pay to buy these from other retailers.
Another fantastic find for cleaning
is a folding step stool like this one at $5,
great for accessing the harder-to-reach areas of your home
if you're doing a quick clean or dusting,
wiping down a cabinet,
or returning dishes to their various locations.
In the number five spot,
some surprisingly phenomenal food and dessert finds,
starting with these spicy noodle bowls at $1.25 each
with Mongolian kung pao and teriyaki flavor options.
I went with the spicy Mongolian,
and my lunch was delicious.
I've never before seen a 12-count of taco shells
at Dollar Tree, and at $1.25 for 12,
these are a solid price for hard shells
that have a super crunch guarantee,
although I'm not sure who will actually
uphold that guarantee.
It is worth noting the guarantee exists.
Mrs. Fields premium cookie dough
that makes six large sugar or chocolate chip cookies
for $1.25, well-timed for all of those upcoming occasions
where some of us just need to make
a smaller batch of giant cookies,
a 50-pack of Totino's pepperoni pizza rolls at $5,
a fantastic, amazing, best-ever buy,
according to my wife,
who has an uncontrollable obsession with these right now.
The alternative would cost you 66 cents more
at Walmart for the exact same product.
I'd like to ask for your help on these highly popular
and nostalgic red, white, and blue popsicles.
You get 12 for $3.
Did you have a name for these growing up?
I think I called them Firecrackers.
Please let me know how you refer to these popsicles
in the comments section.
I'm having a bit of a block.
Now onto something I would not buy from Dollar Tree.
The store now has these five packs of Snickers
or Twix ice cream bars.
Five packs for $5.
If you were to buy the exact same thing at Walmart,
it would cost you 52 cents less,
and you would get one extra ice cream bar.
In the number six spot with grilling season
now re-fired back up in many communities
across our country,
disposable grill toppers
that prevent food from falling into the grill
and help significantly with the cleanup
are a fantastic find for veggies, seafood,
whatever it is you wanna grill
where you still get the char
and less of the mess.
As a perfect pairing for whatever it is you want to grill,
these new giant-sized beverage jugs
for your favorite iced teas,
lemonade, sangria,
whatever it is you're brewing up a good grab at $1.25.
Perfectly timed for the warmer weather,
especially as a parent whose kids' feet
are growing at a mile a minute.
Kids' sandals are $1.25
so you can get these before they grow out of them.
My four-year-old daughter Mara
really likes these purple ones.
She wants me to show you.
Now is a perfectly good time for me to remind you
the adult flip-flop selection
at Dollar Tree has grown considerably.
I should mention none of this content is sponsored
nor is Dollar Tree paying me to make this video.
While these sandals might not last you a lifetime,
if you just want some variety, here you go.
If you're planning to splurge a bit more
on something more premium
that could last you a little longer,
the Dollar Tree Plus sandals section at $5 per pair
will give your feet some extra mileage.
At $3 for a pair,
these heavy-duty beach chair clips
are an ingenious way to prevent your towels
from blowing X or ending up from your chair into the sand.
They're rather cute with some nice beach-themed designs.
And if you are a parent or grandparent of a baby or toddler,
these no-spill snack cups are an incredible buy
for $1.25.
So little hands can reach right on in
without spilling the contents.
A nearly identical version exists on Amazon for $8.
Again, Dollar Tree's price, $1.25.
In the number seven spot
before we get to some great kitchen finds,
travel season is in full swing.
We were just in Texas, which was fantastic.
These inflatable neck pillows at $1.25
came in handy for our flight.
They're much cheaper that what you would
find at the airport.
They deflate quickly for storage.
Inflation is also a breeze, as you can see,
and this is the only type of inflation
I will tolerate, little dad joke there.
The brand new seven-day pill containers
that you see right here
are packaged in a stackable carry container,
but these can be split up individually
for the days of the week
where you might be traveling just for a long weekend,
or you can pill pack accordingly
based upon how long you are gone.
And if you are planning a vacation anywhere,
travel-sized products from all of the major brands,
often cheaper than CVS, Rite Aid, or Walgreens,
are readily available at Dollar Tree.
I feel like when you are traveling,
your personal needs for a travel lint roller
seem to intensify,
so there is a whole range of travel lint rollers
at Dollar Tree, including this two-pack for $1.25.
This includes a mini lint roller
with a full-size accompaniment.
Whether it is for a road trip or commute,
car sunshades can be incredibly effective
at combating the heat inside your vehicle
while it's parked.
This full-size contender at $1.25
is a bit more flimsy than the $15 version sold elsewhere,
but it does get the job done.
While we're on the topic of your vehicle,
I'm not sure I've seen these sunglass car clip holders
at Dollar Tree before,
so I am including these on my list
as a solid way to attach your sunglasses to your visor.
A new range of highly compact mini car air fresheners
are now available at Dollar Tree
where you can enjoy various scents without the bulk.
In the number eight spot, before we celebrate the outdoors,
the ice cube trays at Dollar Tree are back,
and these beauties at $1.25 include the lid,
which helps you avoid those weird balancing acts
of getting the water into the tray
and then walking like you're on a circus trapeze
to the freezer without spilling everywhere.
I'd consider any time you come across
a nicely-sized coffee or tea mug for $1.25
a worthy encounter, but these new letter mugs
give you that element of personalization
at a price that's almost seven times less than Target.
As a splatter-proof solution
for the exploding meatballs I reheated last night
in the microwave, I was pleased to find
these microwavable covers new at my local Dollar Tree,
obviously microwave-safe, and for handling the hot plate
after you remove it from the microwave
or carrying any hot dish,
these silicone gloves protect your hands.
I always think they kind of look like a puppet
when I see them.
My daughter loves when I lift these up
and make them say, these, these.
Anyhow, you get the point.
Clear, heftier wine glasses with a nice long stem
can give you that whole medieval goblet vibe.
Some nice larger and smaller mesh strainers
with these metal extensions
that can rest nicely on your counter
are phenomenal for all types of straining and draining.
We use the large for pasta and the smaller ones
for draining the liquid from cans of chickpeas
and various other veggies.
My next point goes out to all the green thumbs out there.
I just sounded like a horrible wedding DJ,
but this four foot by eight foot weed barrier
helps prevent weeds from permeating
and other sorts of vegetation intrusions
into your mulch beds with this retaining wall.
Perfect for the yard or garden,
these new thin solar stake lights
have a multicolored light effect.
And since my wife Daria has temporarily lifted her ban
of me buying solar stake lights to test in our yard,
I got to try these out.
In addition to these wide solar stake lights
in silver and matte black, equally delightful.
I like these new LED headlights,
although I think the brand could have done
a much better job with the packaging.
If you look closely at the photo of the man,
the lamp is clearly Photoshopped on his head.
There's no way he ever wore it.
It is clearly super imposed.
I was excited to see the command strip dupes
right here in black or white.
These are amazing for hanging framed photos
with that same pull tab as the command version.
You score four pairs at Dollar Tree for $1.25.
Protective wrap, a highly popular product
for sending presents around the holiday season
is a great seasonal buy.
If you are participating in any type of household move,
if you are swapping seasonal furniture
and then having to protect it for the next season
or shifting something to storage,
$1.25 gets you 300 feet of this protective wrap.
Before we get to the bonus section for my next point,
it's beauty and DIY.
These new beauty vessels labeled with words
like eyes, lips and face kind of confused me at first.
My wife explained that these are for separating
your beauty products and amazing for makeup brushes.
So there you go.
As I shift slightly further outside my comfort zone,
I was confused by a product entitled
dual end face mask applicator.
I understand what a face mask applicator is.
What is a dual end?
I asked someone in the store.
One end is to apply the mask
and the other spatula type side is for the removal.
If you love chocolate and wanna wear it on your lips
all the time, Hershey's has come to the rescue
with Hershey's Milk Chocolate lip gloss,
Reese's Pieces lip gloss and Cookies and Cream.
I understand why someone would want this
and I think this is an amazing idea.
And now for the bonus section
and I'll get to Mother's Day in a moment.
The Memorial Day wooden signs and decor
now widely available at Dollar Tree
have sayings like united we stand
and some other wonderfully patriotic sentiments.
I like the USA themed lanterns you see right here.
These just need two AAA batteries if you are buying them.
A two pack of magnetic clips
are a phenomenal little invention
more heavy duty than I thought they'd be for $1.25.
These are not your typical flimsy fridge clips.
These could hold a batch of cards or envelopes.
And speaking of there is a brand new range
of homemade Mother's Day greeting cards
at Dollar Tree for a dollar each.
The greeting cards I am seeing this season
are comprised of some beautiful textures and designs.
And you can still find the standard
Hallmark Dollar Tree card collection
that is still priced at two for a dollar if you prefer.
And there you have it.
Thanks for watching.
I love you. Bye bye.
