Dollar Tree top prepping supplies budget prepping prepper must have stockpile cheap hi
it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper can you still find prepping supplies at the Dollar
Tree store we all know that inflation is on the rise the cost is going up
there's shrink flation where packages are becoming smaller how can the Dollar Tree continue to offer
products prepping supplies for only one dollar it is still possible to find prepping
supplies prepper must have items at Dollar Tree you have to look around I read somewhere that
Dollar Tree is going to be changing the store because it is becoming impossible to find things
for one dollar they're becoming basically a candy counter and a card store I read that they're going
to be changing their name I don't remember what they're changing it to but then everything will be
up to five dollars five dollars and less it only makes sense that Dollar Tree can't continue
to offer sell things for only one dollar it's just the state of the economy and resources are just
becoming less available and prices are going up it's just a reality so if Dollar Tree stores are
going to continue to have good things that we can use for prepping items prepper stockpile we are
going to have to buckle under keep searching for good things that we want at an affordable price
so what are my top prepping items at the dollar tree that i bought for my prepping
supplies prepper stockpile the first one is the fancy heat they're little cans that are alcohol
stoves Fancy Heat has a wick inside you light the wick and it burns the fuel in the can which is
like an alcohol stove and then you can use it to heat up food it's similar to sterno but it's only
one dollar fancy heat can burn around two hours fancy heat is a great way to heat up some food in
an emergency say you've lost your power and you can't turn on your stove you can get out your
fancy heat and heat up something for a meal you're going to need a way to light your fancy heat look
for the utility lighters these are great they work for a long time and I'm very pleased with them
next look for safety matches they're strike on the box matches they used to come 300 in a box but if
you look now there's only 250 what we call shrink flation it looks like the same but it isn't things
just cost more and so that's part of the reality of paying attention when you're shopping reading
labels so you know what you're getting looking for inexpensive long-lasting emergency candle lights
check out the tall pillar candles they come already in a container look when you get them
that there's the metal ring at the bottom that the wick goes all the way down and the candle wick
comes all the way up and then a great way to light dollar tree pillar candles is with that long reach
utility lighter these can burn for about 80 hours I've used Dollar Tree 80 hour candles many times
I've never had a problem with these cracking somebody left a comment that that's something you
need to be careful of and so I'm going to put that out there I've not had a problem with that and so
you might want to be careful look candle over make sure nothing looks weak or cracked on the glass
one thing that I like to do is place these candles into a mug then you can move them
around you have a handle for the candle it's an easy way to transport your candle if you
need to move to another room location never leave a candle burning when you leave the room
my favorite item for cooking from Dollar Tree is the Reynolds foil wrappers these are fantastic
Reynolds foil wrappers are super high quality and it's harder and harder to find these they've been
putting in some generic foil in the Dollar Tree and the quality of the foil is just not the same
if you can find the Reynolds foil wrappers stock up on these you can use these to make foil packets
you can put food in the oven that way you can put it into a campfire spread a sheet of foil over
a pan and then when you're done cooking you can just pick it up dispose of it there's no cleanup
which might be extra handy in times of no water we all need some cordage with our emergency gear
and they had several different kinds at the Dollar Tree some of the ropes don't look very
good and some cordage look better than others the two ropes I bought I've actually been using
are the white rope it's very plasticky and I hooked a leash on it so I could tie out my dog
when I didn't have a yard to keep him in when I was traveling this dollar tree rope held up
really well I did use a lighter to melt the end of the rope because it sort of comes apart
so this isn't my favorite rope from Dollar Tree so the rope that I like better than this
is the one that comes all coiled up and this is awesome because you didn't even have to melt the
ends it already came in one piece it's softer rope and then it comes with this cool handle that's
very sturdy and you can let out as much as you want then you can wrap it back around and it has
these little teeth on the handle that will hold the rope in place I was able to tie this rope on
to my dog Teddy's leash then I could let out as much as I wanted I could fasten this tie around a
post or something and hook it so that it wouldn't unravel more and it was easy to carry with me to
put it away it stayed nice and sturdy and so this is my new favorite cordage rope from Dollar Tree
sometimes you can find things like flashlights or even battery operated lanterns or little
lights at Dollar Tree but I didn't see any this time I bought some before that I liked a lot
so I'm always on the lookout for new emergency lights lanterns at Dollar Tree finding batteries
at Dollar Tree has been very problematic I saw a two pack of batteries for a dollar batteries
I never heard of I wasn't willing to take a chance on that you may as well pay more and get a regular
high quality battery but I did find these batteries in an eight pack I never heard of
e circuit super heavy duty batteries before but I decided for only one dollar I would go ahead and
try an eight pack because you just can use so many batteries in so many things usually batteries are
going to last long enough you're going to get your money's worth because the price of each
battery is so inexpensive look through the first aid supplies at Dollar Tree there's all kinds of
over-the-counter medicines band-aids bandages hot packs cold packs all kinds of things that you can
find to beef up your first aid kit look through the cans of food there's lots of open and eat
food choices some of them of course are going to be tastier than others but there's a nice
variety i did notice that the selection of canned meat was very low and the selections of meat they
had weren't something I wanted to stock up on anymore but if you can find something that you
like get a few extra cans if you can find soup a can of beans a can of chili something like that
be on the lookout because you can still find some of those prepper pantry food items
they did still have some dried rice and beans you can pick up a bag for only a dollar you get some
different varieties of beans two pounds of rice and so that's always a good way
a bag at a time a dollar at a time to add to your prepper pantry with a canned food item or to your
long-term food storage with the dried beans and rice Dollar Tree did also have brown rice and
white rice but pay attention brown rice does not last nearly as long in food storage because it has
oil in it so if you get brown rice make sure that you rotate it in two to three years
whereas the white rice can last for 30 years or even longer when you're in the Dollar Tree
grab some water you can buy a gallon of water those are very sturdy containers set them aside
you can even grab a multi-pack of water then you have grab-and-go water maybe you want to keep it
in your car especially if summer is coming or you'll be traveling then you have some water
bottles that you can hand out to members of your family but if you're going to just stock water
away in case you need water for long term grab the gallons it's an easy way to have emergency water
one gallon per person per day minimum for your drinking needs in an emergency situation another
great prepper item to find from Dollar Tree it seems to be more seasonal is something like hand
warmers because even if it's summertime when the sun goes down if you're in the mountains or out in
the desert it can get very cold and hand warmers can help keep you warm if the temperature drops
unexpectedly there are lots of prepper prepping items you can find at the Dollar Tree store if you
have children make sure that you have the supplies you might need for them diapers if you have pets
make sure you have per supplies for your pets go up and down the aisles Dollar Tree look things
over do you need extra socks a poncho do you need something to make emergency shelter there are all
kinds of items you can still find at the Dollar Tree I like to go up and down the aisles and
look for things and figure out do I need that is that something I don't have you may be pleasantly
surprised to find something that's just what you need for your emergency prepping gear stockpile
