Dollar Tree Too Late To Stock Up For $1 Awesome Dollar Tree Deals hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska
Prepper I've been getting all kinds of comments lately that people are going to the Dollar Tree
and everything is now 1.25 one dollar twenty five I am not used to having Dollar Tree because
in Alaska they don't have them so when I'm in the Lower 48 I love going to the Dollar Tree
then I thought what if it's the very last chance to get things for one dollar maybe I better get to
the Dollar Tree because it may be the last time to stock up at one dollar rather than one dollar 25
cents so I was pleasantly surprised when I showed up to this Dollar Tree to see that yes everything
is still a dollar that's been my experience so far every Dollar Tree that I have visited everything
is still one dollar so I realized I didn't need to panic and things are still one dollar
so when I went in the Dollar Tree I was pleasantly surprised to see all of the merchandise that has
come in they have lots of employees they're busy stocking the shelves lots of customers and I even
heard the clerk saying these things are selling out faster than we can put them on the shelf
so that's a nice surprise to find that things are available in stock no shortages they do still
cost one dollar so sadly that's not what you're experiencing I'm blessed to find and thankful that
it is what I have found so on this trip to the Dollar Tree I bought a few food items I bought
some first aid items I bought some items for my pet I bought some hygiene supplies and then a few
little prepping supplies so let me show you the surprises that I bought at the Dollar Tree today
to add to my prepper pantry and my prepping supply stockpile one of the things I like to do is walk
around the store and look things over and see how could I use this what could this be useful
for is this something that I would like to have try to think creatively when you're looking over
things in any store you may surprise yourself at the items that you find that could be useful
so first in the grocery department almond milk I have not seen almond milk at Dollar Tree before
I bought the Gossner shelf stable regular milk many times so it's dairy-free gluten-free and
soy-free this Almond milk does have sugar this is sweetened almond vanilla flavor it has a six
month shelf life as long as you store these in a cool dark dry place they should be fine I've also
stored the regular milk in the refrigerator and had it last long past the date this is a different
brand and a different kind of milk than the Gossner milks that I have told you about before
Dove milk chocolate pudding I've never seen Dove pudding before but this would be great to go in
the pantry with some of the Gossner shelf stable milk I was looking on the spice aisle and I found
McCormick brand bacon bits and sometimes we want to add a little bit of bacon into a recipe and
having some bacon bits might be nice to have in your prepper pantry I found a jar of Pampa brand
mushrooms and these are great because they're in a jar you can open them and pour some into
your recipe you don't have to use the entire container and these also come with a best buy date
of 7/25 so there are several years shelf life on these mushrooms I also bought a box of gallons
ziploc bag now look these are nine bags in a box and there was another box on the shelf that only
had eight so read carefully before you just grab the size you're looking for make sure that you're
getting the box with the most in it and get the most for your money you may have seen my recent
video about my first aid supplies and some of them needed to be replaced and so going to the Dollar
Tree is a wonderful option I was able to replace the muscle rub some triple antibiotic cream
and some hydrocortisone cream I have others of these in my stockpile so what I'm going to do is
take the older ones out of my stockpile to replace the ones that I that were very old that I threw
away then I'm going to put these as the backups for my first aid supply so pay attention even to
your first aid supplies because things just don't last forever and you don't want to be caught off
guard in an emergency that your medications and your ointments are no longer good or safe to use
I bought a one pound bag of Epsom salt Epsom salt has so many uses and I like to get the
one that is just plain Epsom Salt they have some that have scents in them and I don't
like to use those simply because I think some of the aromas are just too strong and I also find
that having plain Epsom salt is more useful if you want to use it say in your garden or to make your
own laundry detergent if you're interested in how to make your own laundry detergent I'll put a link
to a video I made so that you can try that recipe yourself I'm always getting coughs in the winter
and so I like to get the little bottles of cough medicine at the Dollar Tree and I've
been buying cough syrup from Dollar Tree for many years it's the same ingredients of all of the
other cough medicines and I've had good luck with them I like the small size that you don't have it
left over if you get over your cough and you don't want to save up old cough medicine that's been
opened you would have to dispose of the bottle so if you have smaller ones you can just have
the right amount Dollar Tree cough medicine to use for a few days and then you don't have any
that needs to be wasted and tossed out because now you feel better I can't go to the Dollar
Tree and not think about Teddy I recently bought him some of these Dental Life dog dental chews and
he loves them and so while I could still get some for only one dollar I bought four more packs of
them to put into his little pet prepping bin I was worried it might be last call so I bought two more
of the small sized leashes they haven't been available for a long time and they are in stock
now at the Dollar Trees that I have visited and so it's a good chance to get a few extra leashes
put one in your car put one in your Bug Out Bag put one wherever by your door at your patio any
place that your dog might be that you would need a leash put one there for only one dollar per leash
you can pretty much keep them every place that would be useful to help you keep your pets safe
next I bought some hygiene supplies I bought two of the two packs of Dollar Tree Chapstick
which is actually called chap ice I like to just get the plain chapstick I don't like the flavored
chapstick and the ones with lots of sunscreen in them tend to irritate my lips so I try to
find the ones in the black and white tubes if you've ever wondered what to do with an empty
Chapstick tube I'll put a link to a video i made on how to turn it into a secret hiding place
for the last year or two I've looked for the Secret powder fresh deoderant antiperspirant solid
deodorant and I can't find it anywhere and then I walk in the Dollar Tree and there it is
so who knew why can't you buy it anywhere how come it's only available at Dollar Tree so I picked up
four chapstick because it's something that I like they're also in a small enough size you could put
one in your suitcase so you're ready to go with your toiletries you could put one even in your Bug
Out Bag but you might want to consider how much weight you're adding and maybe you don't really
need it in your Bug Out Bag something to know about solid stick deodorants antiperspirant like
Secret is if you're out hiking and you start to get something that's chafed or you feel like
you're getting a blister on your foot stop and rub some deodorant stick over that irritated spot
and it can add a layer of protection and it can keep you from getting chafed and from getting a
blister and trust me it really works I keep a little stick deodorant whenever I go out
hiking I recently found some great little battery operated lights at Dollar Tree and I went back
looking for more I couldn't find any of the same battery lights one Dollar Tree battery light in
particular that I was impressed with was this little Dollar Tree clip-on book light
which comes with a battery already included it's like a little book light but it's very
bright and when my little grandson was here visiting me he thought this was the greatest
little light ever and he wouldn't turn it off he had the Dollar Tree light on for an entire week
while he was here visiting me and when he left I thought he took it home with him in his suitcase
because I didn't find it and about a week later I found it had fallen behind the nightstand and it
was still on this little thing had been running for two weeks and the battery still works so if
that doesn't tell you you get a lot for your money for a dollar at Dollar Tree let me tell you that's
proof enough for me it has a little switch here and maybe you can see it still turns on and off
two weeks and this Dollar Tree light is still running that's a wonderful little light
I wish I could find more of them what I did find was a square wall tap light it requires three AAA
batteries which is really nice because you can pick batteries up at Dollar Tree and I've had
good luck with the batteries from Dollar Tree so because the batteries come in a six pack
I decided it was a good idea to get two Dollar Tree lights I usually only get one of something
that I haven't tried before but this time I got two battery lights because I was thinking of
two places that would be handy to have a light that you could just press it on and it would work
so when you open up Dollar Tree light it has two little strips of velcro that you could fasten
it on look at that Dollar Tree light has a little lever if you wanted to just use it like on a table
now look you can just press it on and it's lit and you just so it's like a hinge you flip it back and
forth and it goes on and off so this is going to be handy there's a lot of ways that you could use
these you could attach them underneath to a shelf with a little velcro sticky stuff you could hang
it up with this little knob or you could just set it on a table because it has a little stand and
then you have a light wherever you need it so I think those are definitely worth one dollar plus
another dollar for some batteries and you have a nice bright light it doesn't say how many lumens
it is but I think it's plenty bright enough for just three AAA batteries that it's going to do a
nice job in any kind of an emergency situation so whether you have a power outage or a dark cupboard
or cabinet or corner where you want to add a little bit of extra light so you can find things
i think for one dollar that these are going to really help you get the job done
I'm very happy that I was able to find some good things to add to my prepping supplies keep us
posted over what's happening at Dollar Tree where you are hopefully you'll be able to still find the
things that you want things that are useful to you and hopefully still at a price that's affordable
keep stockpiling while things are readily available because this is a crazy world we
just don't know what's coming next so be ready for anything if you liked my video I hope you'll
