- These are the top 10 things you should be buying
at Dollar Tree in April.
Welcome back to the channel,
I'm the YouTube Deal Guy Matt Granite.
I'm excited to have you here
because I'm gonna take you inside my local Dollar Tree
and expose some awesome finds.
From pool and beach toys at $1,
to barbecue tools and brushes for a buck,
plus some of the best margarita cups
and beer mugs I have ever seen for just a dollar.
And just wait until you see
the mother's day section of this video.
If you guys like this content
please give this video a thumbs up.
This video is not sponsored in any way.
For the first product set on my list.
If you are planning a garage sale, a yard sale,
or a rummage sale,
Dollar Tree has got a pretty good way to help you prepare.
Take a look at these new price stickers that I have found.
I'm calling them price stickers and not price tags
because they actually have an adhesive.
And in your planning stage,
I realize that we could all be crafty
and make these on our own
but think about what your time is worth
plus all of the work that goes
into a garage sale or a yard sale.
There are ways that you can label everything ahead of time,
even make offer stickers
if you do need to apply these to products
where you are not quite sure how something should be priced.
In the number two spot
of what you should be buying at the Dollar Tree in April
and then I'm gonna get to some barbecue items.
If you are celebrating a graduate in your life
and I'm gonna get to moms and mother's day in a moment.
The graduation decorations are
phenomenal at Dollar Tree this year.
We're seeing signs, and cups, hats, some great wearables.
And as someone who's actually purchased
graduation memorabilia from the Dollar Tree,
I'm reminded of how I tried to decorate for my wife
when she graduated.
Guys, I know she looks very young,
not high school graduation but graduate school.
When she graduated from law school,
I tried to decorate the house
and this is what I was able to do.
And now I'm looking at
all of these other decoration options
on the market this year at Dollar Tree
and they are substantially better.
So definitely in the number two spot on my list,
anything for that grad in your life.
In the number three spot.
'Tis the season of grilling,
and tailgating, and awesome barbecue.
And the barbecue tool options available at Dollar Tree
this year also better than last year.
Their barbecue brushes and utensils
and in particular this barbecue brush cleaner that I found,
comparable to what I would have been able to find
at my local hardware store,
just at a fraction of the price.
One thing to keep in mind,
since I haven't had a chance to test
these Dollar Tree barbecue brush cleaners
from one season to the next, keep an eye on the bristles.
If you are scraping them against your grill
just see if they do come off over time.
And if you've already purchased one and for whatever reason,
use it a bit more than I have, please leave me a comment.
I'll read through them
and that'll only help me improve my next video.
In the number four spot.
The spring decor items are phenomenal buy at Dollar Tree.
And if you guys wait toward the end of the video,
in the bonus section I will also include
some summer decor items.
Because one of the interesting things
about Dollar Tree as a retailer is they roll out
all of their spring and summer items simultaneously.
So I'm gonna hopefully guide you through that
but let's take a look at the spring decor items
that include fun little decor items for around the home.
I found some mirrors that actually rival
the quality of target
and of course at a substantially lower price just a dollar
and I've also located some fun trinkets
and decor pieces for around your home.
Piggy bank boxes which are great for a travel fund
later down the line.
And one of the more unique finds new this season
at dollar tree which I'm going to include in this category,
the Air Wick and the generic air freshener refills.
Many of us use those Air Wicks in areas
of our home that could use a little bit of a scent boost.
Our basement, sometimes offices, just areas of the home
that need a little bit of a better refresh.
One of the problems that I've experienced is
you really have to commit to a scent.
So you have to commit to a lot of them upfront.
One of the nice things about buying those refills
from the Dollar Tree is for just a dollar,
you can pick up one individual scent,
see if you like it
and then maybe buy it as a bulk purchase on Amazon,
or Costco, or Walmart,
or wherever it is that you shop elsewhere.
In the number five spot.
Before I get to sunglasses and garden decor.
If you like a beers or margaritas, I kid you not.
I think what I found for a dollar,
this margarita glass could be the best
or one of the best that I have ever seen sold in a store.
It's a fully reminiscent of what you would experience
if you were served a margarita on your favorite patio,
at your favorite restaurant, or even at a hotel, or resort.
And if you can see from the slight durability tests
that I am providing for you in store,
which is not scientific.
And don't worry, I did not dent any of the glasses
and if I did, I would have paid for them.
These margarita cups easily sustained a couple of clunks
against the shelf.
I'm definitely going to pick these up.
And I am certain the durability that I experienced
in store will be what I enjoy around my home.
For those of you craving the perfect vessel to serve
that next ice cold beer.
Again, Dollar Tree coming in loud and strong,
not just in terms of savings but the quality,
just phenomenal in terms of what I saw.
There were also some fun new wineglasses at Dollar Tree
with all sorts of sayings.
These could also double as an accompaniment
to a mother's day gift,
or you find the perfect card which we'll get to in a moment.
And the Dollar Tree definitely has this beverage category
covered with huge bargains and tremendous selection.
In the number six spot of what you should be buying
at dollar tree in April, garden decor.
And if you are a bird aficionado
like my two year old daughter.
Just wait,
I'm gonna show you some video of what we did last season
and how the Dollar Tree is gonna help us this season.
But from beautiful gardening pots
available for just a dollar.
All sorts of signs, and gardening tools, knick-knacks,
and some really positive ways to interject your personality
into your backyard, patio, deck area.
However you have your backyard set up,
the pot hangers presenting some really nice options,
temperature gauges, even hummingbird nectar
and bird feeders.
And this is what I wanted to briefly mention
to you before I get to accessories and sunglasses.
I spent all of last season feeding pigeons
in the downtown core of my city with my daughter.
It's like her favorite thing to do in the world
on a cold day, you go out and you feed pigeons.
From pigeons we ultimately upgraded to squirrels.
And then finally geese that were larger than my daughter
partaking in some type of migration pattern.
This was what we did.
I'm only imagining how much more positive
her spring or summer could be
if we had a proper bird feeder on our backyard.
So that of course is something that I am considering
from the Dollar Tree.
In the number seven spot
of what you should be buying at Dollar Tree in April.
All sorts of accessory organizer trays.
Now the nice thing about these trays
compared to what I have seen available from stores
like Dollar General and Five Below.
Dollar Tree this month,
seems to specialize in the low high trays.
So these are great for the fridge, for drinks, for fruit,
and other food items.
Different ways that you can organize, stack, and serve.
So this accessory and organization section as a whole
definitely getting two big thumbs up from me
this month at the Dollar Tree.
In the number eight spot.
Oh, I bet you didn't even notice.
It's me under here, Matt Granite
and you are probably impressed that they do make sunglasses
that can accommodate my nose,
you knew that joke was coming.
Well I cannot speak as an eye doctor to the effectiveness
of their UVA and UVB claims.
Simply having a pair of sunglasses available
for a dollar in your glove compartment, your purse,
your junk drawer is better than nothing.
I'm constantly losing sunglasses and breaking them,
so just to have a couple of extra pairs available
for a dollar is not going to necessarily protect your eyes
for the rest of your life but it is an alternative,
and that's why I'm putting it in the number eight spot.
In the number nine spot.
Meal prep is a very popular phenomenon right now.
A lot of people are using these containers
that I found at the Dollar Tree for just a dollar
as ways to cut down on takeout,
if you are bringing a lunch to work or school.
They're also great for portion control,
not something that I'm particularly good at.
They're great to bring your lunch and refrigerate it
at work or somewhere else.
Or if you are taking care of a sick parent,
a neighbor, a senior citizen,
these meal prep containers are phenomenal.
They are top rack, dishwasher safe,
and they are BPA free.
Making this one of my favorite buys for a dollar.
In the number 10 spot.
Before I get to mother's day in the bonus section
of this video.
If you are looking for a pool toy, some type of floatable,
a noodle, a dollar is all you need to spend,
and I am very pleased with what I saw.
Again, the inflatables here are not necessarily
gonna be legacy pieces you hand down from one family member
to the next, for generations to come.
And obviously you would definitely
wanna incorporate adult supervision with all of these
but the noodles, the water toys,
and the endless options available for water entertainment,
phenomenal finds available at the Dollar Tree.
Now the bonus section of the video,
these are items that didn't necessarily qualify
for my top 10,
but I think they're good.
And if you guys have any other contributions you wanna make.
Please leave me a comment, I love reading through them.
For bonus buy number one.
Let's move on to beach decor
before I do get to mother's day
cause I know I promised that.
The beach theme decor is very unique at the Dollar Tree.
If you do not live anywhere near a proper beach
which is definitely the case for my family.
And if you are close to a beach guys, I envy you.
But can now decorate your whole home with a beach theme.
This is definitely more of a summer vibe
which is very interesting to see this pushed
so forcefully by Dollar Tree in April.
But take it or leave it
and I'm sure there are ways where you could creatively
integrate this into your home.
Bonus by number two
and possibly one of my favorite items on the list.
The reason I've classified this as a bonus buy,
many of you guys already know that you can stock up
on Hallmark-made cards at Dollar Tree for just $1.
Those same Hallmark cards are nearly identical ones
that are jacked up in price by 50 or 60% more
everywhere else are available at the Dollar Tree.
What's new this month is Dollar Tree is offering
the best of their Hallmark mother's day cards
where you can buy two for $1
and this also includes cards for your grandma.
I'm fortunate enough to have both of my grandmas alive
on both sides of the family.
So I will certainly be picking up cards for them,
this mother's day as well.
Bonus buy number three,
is a car windshield visor for a dollar.
And the reason I've classified this as a bonus buy.
Having actually handled this at Dollar Tree,
I can tell you it's quality feels almost like
it should be around a dollar.
But considering how expensive car visors can be,
and if you do not wanna spend 15, 20, or $30 on a car visor.
For just a buck,
this might be the perfect way to block the sun
from entering your vehicle,
or at least keep it a little bit cooler
on the hottest spring and summer days for just a buck.
Bonus buy number four. A drain snake.
The perfect way to remove hairs, and clogs,
and things that you didn't think could possibly be
in your drain.
I believe at some point last year,
I actually demonstrated a nearly identical
drain snake product from Dollar Tree and it did perform well
and it was revolting in terms of what I actually
brought up my drain, so I'm just letting you know.
Bonus buy number five.
Well, I don't necessarily back all of the toy offerings
I have seen at Dollar Tree just because
I don't really know the quality,
or how long some of these toys will last, or the safety.
The road trip games for kids are fantastic.
And just a dollar from roadside bingo to so many other ways
to keep the younger members of your household entertained
in the back seat.
Or I'm pretty sure that my wife would actually buy this
for me in the front seat,
not while I'm driving but when I am sitting beside her
and if you find me annoying in some of these videos,
you can imagine what it would be like
on a long road trip with me, so she probably buy those.
