dollar tree haul january 2019 new finds how to clean toys save money stick to budget dollar tree baby toys food
hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper it's a rainy day so it's a great day go to the Dollar Tree
I wanted to show you the latest things that I bought on my trip to the
Dollar Tree the best thing about the Dollar Tree is everything is $1.00 how to shop on a budget shopping tips dollar tree
you know how much you're spending when you go around you can just count the
things in your cart ad sales tax if they have sales tax where you are then you can
tips to easily know if you're shopping within your budget it's easy to go overboard
when things are just a dollar we say oh I want this I want that
but you don't necessarily need every single thing that appeals to you so just
buy the things that you really think you need and want and stay within your budget the first thing I bought at Dollar Tree
were some little cutting boards these are really nice they're sturdy the cutting boards hold
up well I've had them before and you could stick them right in the dishwasher
they take up hardly any space in my knife drawer and so I wanted a few fresh
clean ones these cutting boards can get stained after a while and then they just don't look that
sanitary clean and fresh so for only a dollar it's very inexpensive way to have
some fresh and clean cutting boards they're two sided you can flip them over
and use either side a great idea is to have two cutting boards then you can use one for meat
and one for vegetables to avoid cross-contamination of food when you're
preparing your meals my little grandson is coming for a visit what child doesn't
love playing with the kitchen utensils gadgets pots and pans so it's an
inexpensive way to pick up some colorful little items baby toys for him I got a colander
with a handle the colander strainer handle is just the right size for a little hand and it has
nice little holes in it you can play with it in the bathtub scoop up other
things a bright red soft spatula and a set of red measuring
babies love primary colors they love clanking things together scooping things
up pouring them out and chewing on things and for $3 I have a whole little
set of kitchen utensils for baby toys just for my grandson to enjoy when he visits me an item I was
very excited to see but I've never seen at the Dollar Tree before where Crayola brand
bathtub finger paint soaps they come in five different colors I chose four I've
got the green blue purple and red they also had pink crayola bathtub finger paint soaps this is a great way to get kids
clean playing in the bathtub learn to soap yourself and also it's a great way to
help teach your child about colors I stocked up on some antibacterial wipes for cleaning
there is a difference between the two kinds of antibacterial and disinfectant wipes household wipes are meant
for wiping down surfaces and the antibacterial wet wipes that are
designed for your hands for sanitizing your hands they're similar to the antibacterial wipes
that you find in the grocery store there is a difference if you really want to
clean surfaces stick with the disinfecting wipes ones that are designed for surfaces because the
chemicals are stronger the antibacterial wipes ones that are designed for your hands aren't going to
be as strong even though they're designed to kill germs they're also for
moisturizing how do you use the antibacterial disinfecting or personal wet wipes pop off the lid of your wipe container reach to the outer
rim of the wipe containter and pull up the first loose layer of wipes thread the wipe through the lid and poke
it into the little area on the lid that's designed to tear it off now you can pull out one wipe at a time and the lid
it'll tear it off you can push the end of the wipe back into the lid in close the lid and it will keep the
rest of your wet wipes from drying out I bought a bottle of Dawn dishwashing detergent this is the Dawn Platinum
kind of dishwashing detergent I think it's a little more concentrated than just the regular Dawn
I'm not exactly sure Dawn is a great soap to use it's safe and effective
you know that Dawn is a safe soap safe because they use it on wildlife rescue and oil spills all
kinds of household cleaning situations Dawn dish soap works great another product I have never seen
before at the Dollar Tree is witch hazel astringent skin treatment witch hazel
it usually comes in a larger bottle and it's far more expensive so it's nice to
have some witch hazel on hand for first-aid and skin soothing uses there's all kinds of ways
to use witch hazel I'll put a link to a video I made for some of the uses for
witch hazel next I went to the snack aisle I bought some dark chocolate Raisinets with a
shelf life of about eight months buying snacks like Raisinets
is a better healthier snack than just loading up on something snacks candy that's straight sugar the
Dollar Tree also carries sardines look carefully the sardines come in different flavors sauces
and also different sardine manufacturers different processors and if you look
carefully the Beach Cliff brand of sardines are from Poland and other brands of sardines come from
China so you always want to know the origin of your food before you're
stocking up sardines are nice food to stockpile with your prepping and long term food storage pantry sardines have a couple years shelf life they're simple
to open and eat sardines are high in omega-3 fatty acids and can really give you a powerful
punch of protein there's also a refrigerator and freezer section at the
Dollar Tree looking over the refrigerator section I found some Dannon yogurt
four little yogurt cups for only a dollar which I thought was a great Buy
I found some tortillas I also found a pizza crust one thing I've not been able
to find at the Dollar Tree anymore are paper plates instead of the packs of just
the simple white paper plates that are handy to cover something in the
microwave or take them camping they've gone to foam dishes and plates and I don't care to
eat off of foam and they take up a whole bunch of room in your cabinet so paper
plates are something I'm going to have to shop for at a
different store from now on
leave a comment on what are the favorite things
that you stock up when you go to the Dollar Tree and any special finds that
you found lately to share with us so that we can look for them too
