- These are the 10 things that you should be buying
at the Dollar Tree in 2021.
Welcome back to the channel.
I'm the YouTube Deal Guy, Matt Granite.
I'm excited because today, I'm gonna take you,
(clearing throat)
hope I'm not allergic to these,
today, I'm gonna take you inside my local Dollar Tree,
showcase the savings, organization, and DIY.
The video is not sponsored by them.
And I'm gonna incorporate some
of the comments from my last video,
really showcasing where you can get
the most bang for your buck.
I'm also gonna show you some footage from my wedding
that has a very unique Dollar Tree tie.
And if you like this content, please give it a thumbs up.

Let's begin with the first set of products
that you should be buying at the Dollar Tree.
And that's an array of greatness tied to home organization.
Last year, I, of course, mentioned the storage bins,
but the plastic baskets keep clutter
under control in my home.
They're great for crafters, DIY projects,
or to organize your kid's school material,
especially for virtual learning.
The Dollar Tree locker bins are also a fan favorite.
And new this year, push lights,
also a phenomenal way to bring brightness
into the different corners of your home,
your basement, furnace rooms, and more.
Keep an eye open for the Velcro fastener dots
for home remote controls, and of course, hangers.
In the number two spot of products that you should be buying
at the Dollar Tree in 2021, cleaning products.
And we're gonna discuss some newbies.
I know last year, I discussed LA's Totally Awesome cleaner
that you can use to target pretty much any cleaning task.
It's amazing, but if you have not yet used
LA's Totally Awesome Mirror and Glass cleaner,
it is sensational.
Apart from that, if you've brand name cleaning supplies
as a staple in your cleaning kit,
you're gonna find brands like Lysol
at tremendously low prices.
And even brooms like this extremely well-rated one.
All top purchases that you can make at the Dollar Tree.
Before I get to a subject that I omitted
from last year's video that made me
the subject of hate and scrutiny,
in the number three spot, wire shelving units.
We use these in my home, and well,
the exact same wire shelving sold at the Dollar Tree
retails at Target and Amazon for prices
that are often 50% more.
For those looking to organize cabinets,
garages, closets, and basements,
wire shelving is a fantastic buy at the Dollar Tree.
In that number four spot,
I now finally include that subject that I omitted
completely, unintentionally twice in my videos last year.
And I wanna thank Christie for bringing it to my attention,
and the additional eight people that replied,
and the 48, and now 49 people who have given
your comment a thumbs up, pregnancy tests.
Now, granted, I have a daughter,
I've never been pregnant myself.
I didn't know the cost of these tests.
And I will conclude that you are not only correct,
but I agree with you.
And my findings have of course concluded
that the $1 pregnancy test at the Dollar Tree retails
for 20 times more that cost from countless other retailers.
Thank you for bringing that to my attention,
and thank you to all of the other subscribers
and viewers who have weighed in.
Before I get to a video clip from my wedding
that has an astonishing tie to the Dollar Tree,
I wanna invite any other subscriber
or viewer of this channel,
if there's a product that I'm overlooking
that you think is a best buy at the Dollar Tree,
please leave me a comment.
I promise I read them even if sometimes it takes me
a half a year to finally include that in a video.
I know, I'll get better, all right.
In the number five spot, yard ornaments.
And a lot of people think that those dinky ornaments
that you see in your neighbor's yard
that you wish they didn't have
couldn't possibly bring a backyard or front yard to life.
Before our wedding,
we actually brightened up a backyard with some ornaments,
but if you look very closely
at the video clips from our wedding,
you can actually see that we have ornaments
in the background that we further in use
to just add some depth and brightness.
Not that you would need that at all,
given how the bride looked,
but I'm just letting you know they do go a long way.
And yard ornaments are a great purchase at the Dollar Tree.
In the number six spot of what you should buy
at the Dollar Tree in 2021,
I know in my last video I mentioned seasonal decor,
and placemats, and things that will actually
bring some great texture to your home,
but if you've not yet taken a look at serveware.
Great for hosting and particularly ideal
for those times where you're visiting someone's house
and you wanna bring a dish over
that you've made to contribute to the meal,
and you don't have to worry about leaving it behind.
It costs you only a dollar, they get a keepsake.
Also great for those situations when another guest
inadvertently takes your dish and you have
those awkward conversations about how you should
or should not be reclaiming it.
In the number seven spot,
and I wanna thank subscriber Emmanuel for pointing this out,
he likes to buy cans of soup.
Not only did he indicate the prices are insanely low,
he also likes a four-pack of bagels made in Pennsylvania.
Not tried those, but I do agree the cans of soup you can buy
at the Dollar Tree are a phenomenal purchase.
Good old wholesome soup, stew, and sometimes chili brands
that retail at your grocery store for at least three times
the cost are available at the Dollar Tree for a dollar.
Before I get to beauty products and makeup,
and potentially another subject of controversy,
in the number eight spot, I know last year,
I discussed the $1 Hallmark greeting cards
which were great for holidays, but if you're not yet aware,
Hallmark now sells its expressions gift wrap
at the Dollar Tree for a dollar.
And this is an exclusive steal, and the best part,
this is a constant everyday price.
So you don't need to stock up now
for the holidays with wrapping paper.
You can buy when you need, whether it's for a birthday,
Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas,
Hanukkah, Father's Day, any occasion.
This is a staple at the Dollar Tree
and the Hallmark quality is fantastic.
In the number nine spot.
It's not just the spa accessories
like the foot peel and some of the eye masks,
but you can buy name brand beauty products
like Dove at the Dollar Tree, and it doesn't stop there.
Whether it's the newly-marketed salt and bath soaks
which are of comparable quality to what you would find
at Bed Bath & Beyond, or the spa loofahs, the bath poofs,
the face rollers or foot scrubs,
you will do really well at the Dollar Tree.
And that self-care extends to your wallet
where the average product is 80% less
at the Dollar Tree compared to conventional retail.
My subscriber Kelley says that she always stocks
up on Dove Intensive Care moisturizing cream,
which I do as well, 129 people agree with you.
Lovely Deanna says that she grabs
the E.L.F brand for her makeup.
And a lot of other people have said
they buy their makeup from the Dollar Tree.
That same makeup is sold at CVS, Rite Aid,
and Walgreens, and marked up substantially.
So you're doing really well with self-care
at the Dollar Tree.
In the number 10 spot, before I get to the bonuses,
and a potential subject of controversy,
it's the Betty Crocker storage containers.
If you've noticed in the past,
the Dollar Tree has had all sorts
of off-brands tied to their storage container sets.
That's not the case anymore.
Will these Betty Crocker bad boys
hold up for years and years?
I'm not certain, but I'm sure it's possibly healthy
to replace your storage containers every few years
as they become old and grungy.
Your first bonus is tied to...
Faux flowers, and flower vases, and anything tied to decor.
Well, some people might not proudly exclaim
that their gorgeous home is decorated from the Dollar Tree,
the vases, votives, seasonal plate dishes
that I alluded to before.
And the cult favorite Dollar Tree floral foam
is considered to be the best you can buy,
according to my wife and many other online bloggers.
You can use that foam for easy craft and flower arranging,
something we've even used in our house.
Decorative accents, like little statues
or even this cute little animal figurine
of an elephant that ties into my wife's gold color scheme.
It all looks fantastic and even more enjoyable
when you do it on a dime.
Bonus number two, dish towels.
I've done really well with dish towel and dish rag purchases
that we have made from the Dollar Tree.
And finally, because this is up for debate,
last year I concluded that the Dollar Tree school supplies
were not a good purchase.
I took all of the Dollar Tree pricing
and I compared the sizes, the quality of the products
to other major retailers like Staples.
And the Dollar Tree was actually at a disadvantage.
It's like the Dollar Tree watched my video,
heard the complaints from other people,
and finally revitalized their school supply selection.
So this year I'm changing my tune.
For my toddler, the stickers which are licensed
with Disney characters are hugely popular still,
but the pens, sandpaper, glue and tape,
and my personal favorite find, dry erase boards,
all great grabs for 2021.
For any parents watching right now,
virtual learning educators,
anyone that knows a little bit more
about school supplies than I do because it's been a while,
feel free to correct me, agree or steer me
in a different direction in the comment section.
I really value your feedback.
I'm trying to make this channel
completely about you guys and saving you money
in the stores and products you care about.
So I do welcome all feedback,
even if it's someone just telling me
that I'm annoying and I speak too fast or I'm loud.
Anyhow, I'm fine, thank you for watching.
