- These are the 10 things
you should be buying at Dollar Tree this August, 2022.
And with so many new products,
this could be my favorite Dollar Tree video yet.
In the first spot,
my Dollar Tree prayers have been answered.
If you recall, last month,
I bought this contraption right here
as a bin to organize soda cans in my fridge.
But this new just released fridge soda can storage system
can be stacked side by side,
or you could use it in a horizontal formation
so it could pretty much self-dispense.
I love this.
Also brand new at Dollar Tree,
these command hook knockoffs,
is a brand new version of the self-adhesive hooks
you would typically see at Dollar Tree,
but the new ones have a removable tab
so you can adjust them.
I bought these and they work great.
I was also intrigued
by these new made in the USA Sterilite stackable crates
which could be stacked vertically or horizontally.
I bought these to get more familiar with the product
before I made any recommendations.
I will tell you they'd be wonderful
for all sorts of storage projects,
although I'm not sure where I will put them yet.
In the number two spot,
it's a soaker hose
that has us no longer jealous of our neighbor.
His grass always looked so much better
so I asked what he was using.
And the soaker hose that he has
is now available as a type of product
you could find at Dollar Tree.
If you're unfamiliar with how these work,
you can neatly run them through your garden beds,
kind of like a DIY home irrigation system.
Behold, it's the return of the fertilizer spikes,
and this made in the USA product is great
if you do not have a natural green thumb,
as I do not.
I featured these a year ago
and many of you were very complimentary
of how this had helped your planting.
If you've ever wanted to elevate your fly swatting,
these fly swatters with flower decor patterns
give you a much more enjoyable visual experience
while you tend to your personal insect swatting needs.
These are very handy
and lovely for your summer creepy crawlies.
Window and door alarms are back.
I featured these as well last year.
If you are fortunate enough to be on a summer vacation,
we were on a camping trip last week,
thank you all for all of the comments on the photo I posted,
these are a tremendous theft deterrent
if a monitored Ring or SimpliSafe type system
is not within budget.
With point three
comes my pledge to incorporate the Dollar Tree plus items
that I started featuring last month.
So let's begin with this 18 inch ledge shelf for $5.
This comes in white or with this natural wood finish.
And I will go back
to the traditional Dollar Tree pricing in a moment.
I wanted to test the quality before I recommend this to you.
This is now in use in my office,
and I think it looks great.
Sunset projection lamps are $5
that allow you to project a sunset onto a wall
or maybe a ceiling.
These are very trendy with teenagers
or for those of us who are cooped up inside.
I wanted to get this for my wife
who is often nursing in a dark room
and unable to enjoy any sunset,
so now Daria can.
My daughter is obsessed with the starlight projector
I purchased on Amazon a few months ago,
and I've now found one
in the Dollar Tree plus section for $5.
To put the price into perspective,
it was $10 at the time several months ago on Amazon,
double the price.
This covered baking set for $5
is a non-stick baking pan that's two inches deep with a lid.
The season of transporting desserts is nearly upon us.
This would be great as we count down to Thanksgiving.
New sparkly sandals for $5.
A very popular version
of what I featured last month that sold out.
These look more similar to a pair of Birkenstocks
for less than the price of the tax you would pay on them
or something you would see at Five Below.
The very well rated de-greasers,
mold cleaners and multi-purpose Zep cleaners
that I never expected to see at Dollar Tree
are now all available.
These bottles are the same size
as what you would find at Home Depot
where they cost 48 cents more from Home Depot
versus the $5 at Dollar Tree.
Armor All tire foam.
Again, same size bottles as Home Depot
where it's usually 49 cents more.
And the Turtle Wax dash and glass cleaners
where they are better priced at Dollar Tree.
I was surprised to see the thermal base layer sets
you see right here for $5
on sale during the summer
with a slightly imperfect sticker on the packaging.
So I wanted to buy and try these,
which I did on one of the hottest days of the year
to really understand
what a slightly imperfect purchase means
from Dollar Tree plus.
With a close examination and inspection,
I can conclude
there's a slight scratch on one of the sleeves,
but this set typically sells for $20 at stores like Sears.
So for $5 from Dollar Tree plus,
this is a good find.
In the number four spot
where we go back to that $1.25 pricing,
it's a brand new product from a beloved brand.
La's Totally Awesome cleaning vinegar.
Have any of you tried this?
And do you notice a big difference between this
and what you would typically use as your cleaning vinegar?
There's also a brand new range
of La's Totally Awesome car products,
including wheel and tire protectant,
some type of protect all.
Carpet and upholstery cleaners are also part of the mix.
I've never been disappointed with a product from this brand.
One brand I'm less familiar with is called Suavitel.
I hope I'm pronouncing that properly.
There's a new range of laundry products from them
at Dollar Tree.
And a lot of the products
have stained removal technology incorporated.
So let me know if you enjoyed this product
in the comment section.
I opted to buy and try this 10 pack of soap pads,
which is a dupe of the S.O.S pad.
These worked pretty much as well as the original
at removing any type of deposit
from the bottom of a pan or a pot without scratching it.
I also purchased this two pack of quick erasers for $1.25.
I have never seen such a product at my local Dollar Tree.
And this is obviously an attempted carbon copy
of the Mr Clean Magic Eraser.
You get two larger pads,
which I cut into smaller ones.
And this performed just as well as a Mr Clean Magic Eraser
in my tests.
If you've ever wanted to enjoy the benefits of a sponge
that has mated with a Magic Eraser,
this two in one quick eraser is unique.
One side is a sponge and the other side is a quick eraser.
I now really enjoy using this product in particular.
It is great for bathrooms.
I also bought the new wet sweeper cloths to try at home.
I use these with my Swiffer
and they perform well.
Before I show you a secret use
for a product that could save you a lot of money,
in the number five spot,
it's a product I never expected to buy from Dollar Tree,
and that's a pillow case.
And by the way,
Dollar Tree is not paying me to make this video.
None of this content is sponsored.
Dollar Tree has pillow cases available in cotton and satin,
which is very popular within the beauty community right now
as a material that's more friendly
toward your skin and hair supposedly.
I bought this,
I put it over a pillow,
and in addition to being soft,
it's a great alternative
to those expensive silk pillow cases
that are very popular right now.
Speaking of beauty,
the lip and eye mask combo packs you see right here
are brand new,
and they include a mask to de-puff your eyes,
which I understand,
but also a mask to de-puff your lips.
New bubble face masks,
and the new range of peels
where the woman on this package in particular
who looks like she's tearing off her skin
that's made of a garbage bag is terrifying,
but they are hear and you might wanna try them,
as well as some hand and foot masks.
Next, onto a product I understand, shoe liners.
Very thin no-show socks
that provide coverage for hot days in the summer or fall,
$1.25 per pack.
They also have these new wrist wallets.
These come in different designs,
but I think the black looks to be the most premium.
This would be great for a night out
if you don't wanna bring a full purse or a wallet,
and please enjoy
as I graciously attempt to model this for you.
You are welcome.
In the number six spot,
it's a Dollar Tree hack that I'm excited to show you.
These containers are marketed as being for salad dressing.
That would be great
if you have the desperate need
to transport salad dressing on the go,
but how handy would this be
for transporting your cosmetics for travel?
These are two fluid ounce containers
so they meet the TSA requirements.
They're $1.25 each at Dollar Tree.
At CVS, a travel container is 3.29,
and on Amazon,
you'll pay as much as $8 for the same thing.
Buy a salad dressing container
and use it for something else.
Vegetable and dip containers with lids,
include a built in dip spot,
great for snacking at school or work
or for a road trip where your veggies and dips
or salsa and guac and chips can all exist in harmony.
Speaking of guac,
this three in one avocado tool
looks like a less pricey version
of something you would see on an infomercial or Amazon
where you can split,
pit and slice your avocados more easily.
New serveware, which look to be very high end,
available in gold, bronze and silver options
so you can have everything in life
handed to you on a silver platter.
Although in my case,
it's a silver platter
I purchased for $1.25 from Dollar Tree.
in the number seven spot,
it's fall decor time.
And first, I'll show you the standard $1.25 options.
And then I'll compare these
to some of the premium options for 0.8.
The lineup includes all sorts of beautiful new signs
for your home,
as well as signs for a mantlepiece.
I particularly love the football ones.
"Family, food, football."
"It's not fall without football."
Words to live by.
Window decorations are very popular in our house.
My wife does up our windows for the season every month.
Some of these could also work well
if you have a large bathroom vanity
or a bathroom that your kids share.
Wreath hangers are available,
as well as scarecrow statues
that are around 15 inches tall I'd say
so decent bang for your buck
given that these are $1.25 each.
The next item though really confuses me.
It's a Halloween tree,
basically it's a Christmas tree
that's now being marketed as a Halloween tree
or a marketing campaign gone very wrong.
Are these a thing?
Am I out of the loop?
Someone please leave me a comment
and let me know if you have ever heard of
or if you do in fact make a Halloween tree every year.
And finally,
before I move to the premium selection of products,
Halloween DIY could be great as an indoor summer activity
for when it's too hot outside.
Have your kids work inside
thinking of cooler October temperatures.
For the next point on my list,
things take a premium turn,
Dollar Tree plus part two.
And this section includes the fall decor items
that range from plush hangers, premium signs,
and all sorts of miscellaneous decor,
including statues wrapped in wool for $5
and iridescent pumpkins for three.
Most of these products will range between three and $5.
You will notice a higher quality material.
The wooden signs have a thicker frame.
DIY trunk or decor treats at $5
are really popular with local churches.
Dollar Tree plus has a whole line
so you can elevate your trunk for your next event.
For those of you who watch my Costco videos,
I take treats from my trunk very seriously.
But these kits help you kick it up a notch
in a whole different way.
Much larger than what you would find
from a traditional Dollar Tree section,
these Halloween door signs
or oversized spider webs for $5
also appear to be fabricated from a more premium material.
I also liked these metal light up pumpkins
and the other metal fall signs you see right here for $5.
For the next point on my list
where I show you a couple of gadgets,
we return to that $1.25 pricing
where $1.25 gets you
two triple A battery operated LED emergency candles
that run for 50 hours.
These would be handy to have on hand
for any summer power outage or storm.
And for actual candles with a flame,
candle snuffers are back in stock this August
as the proper way
to extinguish any type of candle you're trying to preserve.
For all sorts of baking,
or even warming up tortillas in the oven,
which we frequently use parchment paper for,
the parchment paper pop-up sheets
brand new at Dollar Tree this month
is something that I wanted to buy and try.
While this costs slightly more than regular parchment paper.
It's built to quickly line a 10 by 15 baking sheet,
and you score 25 for $1.25.
With them precut,
you could end up using less over time
despite the slightly higher price.
For the next point on my list,
it's a way to quickly add lighting to any room
without having to call an electrician.
This is a quick and efficient wall tap light.
I wanted to buy and try it
as we needed a temporary solution for a room in our home.
And I can conclude this is very bright.
I'm enjoying these small drawer organizer bins
with a non-slip interior lining
available in black and white and in two different sizes.
Great for batteries, paperclips, stamps,
different ways to make either size work.
For crafting, cricket lovers,
many of you have all those little printer heads,
for artists, beaters,
these clear organizer cases
are also a great find this month.
Erasable highlighters,
have you ever even heard of such a thing?
Just in time for back to school,
these are an ingenious concept.
If you sell your kids' textbooks after they use them,
you could easily erase the highlighter before the sale.
So smart.
And now for the bonus Dollar Tree finds
as part of my shopping haul,
the inspection mirror right here at $1.25 is fantastic.
If you need to identify any type of issue around your home,
whether it be for a drain behind an appliance,
for furniture,
this allows you to peek into a wall,
an engine or a crawl space,
and extends up to 19 inches.
I love these multi themed fun present boxes.
And the one with the school bus caught my eye.
We've got a four year old
who's a little apprehensive
about the move from nursery to kindergarten.
And I'm going to get Mara a little present
for her first day of school,
different ways where you could use this.
iPhone cases with this charm type design on the back
allow you to attach it
and easily grip your phone instead of fumbling for it.
These work with different generations of the iPhone models.
And these mini first aid kits
which were beside the cash register on the way out
would also be great for a kid's backpack,
as well as for travel.
And there you have it.
I can't wait to read through your comments.
Thank you so much for watching.
I love you, bye bye.
