- These are the top 10 things you should be buying
at Dollar Tree this July 2022
and with so many amazing new products,
this could be my best Dollar Tree video yet.
In the first spot, I'll begin with a bit
of an eyeopener tied to the travel-sized items
that have been freshly restocked
with new product options at Dollar Tree
from toothpaste to mouthwash, shampoo, and conditioner,
all of which are a dollar 25
and with travel incredibly popular right now,
this is not a section you wanna overlook.
And compared to a retailer like CVS,
prices range from a buck 50 to almost $2 per item
compared to Dollar Tree, where they're all cheaper.
Brand new, fridge storage bins
which are large enough widthwise
to accommodate rows of cans, and they fit well side by side.
As you can see, I'm now using this in our fridge.
The outward-facing handle can also accommodate a label,
meaning these could work in a pantry or a medicine cabinet.
And while we're on the topic of organization,
the bathroom caddies that you see right here
could work just as well
to better organize cleaning supplies under a sink.
They're available in black or white.
I bought the white one, which is now in use in my home.
Many of you have mentioned the Dollar Tree Plus sections
arriving at your local stores
where prices range from three to five bucks.
You wanted to know my personal opinion.
Well, I'm not a fan of higher-priced items arriving
at Dollar Tree and point two,
I did come across some interesting finds beginning
with the premium kitchen items
which I was excited to see.
Beginning with these non-stick pans at $5 each,
I wanted to ensure they lived up to their product promise
so I put them to the test.
I was impressed although these are hand wash only,
which is not my favorite feature,
but the non-stick coating is effective.
I like the premium insulated tumblers,
which you would never see at a Dollar Tree prior
to the creation of this Dollar Tree Plus section.
Cutting boards and glass bakeware of a sizable nature,
more akin to something you'd see
at a Target retailing for a higher price.
Now available at Dollar Tree for five bucks.
I purchased these blinged-out sandals for my wife
which I'm hoping she'll like.
And as a dad of a brand new baby boy,
the baby car seat mirror at five bucks also caught my eye.
Large wicker baskets and premium-sized storage cubes
that could accommodate blankets or pillows are much larger
than what you would typically see for a buck 25.
And speaking of size, the fall signage selection
at five bucks is well beyond anything
in terms of build and quality
that I would have previously seen at a Dollar Tree
despite my disdain toward a $5 price tag at a dollar store.
These are really impressive.
Stick around for later on in this video
where I detail what purchases I would avoid
from the Dollar Tree Plus section.
In the number three spot, we return to a buck 25
and the new ice cube trays in round and square
with the pushable bottom to more easily dispense the ice,
a great companion for summer beverages.
And if you've never before considered plastic ice cubes,
these are another fan favorite as they cool your beverage
without diluting them.
A two-pack of BPA-free large bowls,
which you could use for salad
or for other barbecue accompaniments made
by the brand Sterilite, new at my local Dollar Tree.
Also brand new, these colorful kid food trays
in cafeteria-style formation, and some really cool shapes.
Great if your kids are picky eaters.
A unicorn or maybe a rhinoceros,
which is how I'm going to interpret it.
An elephant that possibly made it with a dog,
available in this green-gray color,
and a confused cat tray as the final option.
Also new at my local Dollar Tree,
I bought this sponge holder, which attaches to the inside
of your sink and is now in good use at our home.
And my daughter, Mara, loves these drink tumblers.
They're plastic, available in multiple colors.
Also ideal for keeping your family hydrated this summer,
the new water bottles that you see right here
have a straw and a sippy cup lid two in one.
In a moment, I'll put some brand new cleaning products
to the test, but first for point four,
if you're doing any type of hosting this summer, stirrers.
Inflatables which also include this pineapple decor option,
a four-pack of ice cream bowls and four spoons
and tall drinking summer glasses,
all being served up as new summer-styled themed options
at Dollar Tree, including these portable tumblers.
And how cool is this?
If you have any tiki torches in your backyard
or on your property, citronella-scented torch fuel,
brand new at my local Dollar Tree
as a fun way to deter mosquitoes.
I also found these lovely oval tubs,
which, in my mind, just look like a glorified ice bucket.
I'm sure they've got many uses, but anyhow, here they are.
In the number five spot, it's cleaning time
and some great car products beginning
with the brand LA's Totally Awesome,
and a new cleaning product from them
that I am going to try, oxygen orange degreaser.
It's made in the USA,
and this degreaser apparently functions as a spot remover.
I decided I would put this to the test
on our often neglected older basement stove.
And as you can see right here, it works wonderfully.
I think it's well worth the $1.25 price of admission.
I found the timing a little weird for this next product,
LA's Totally Awesome wool wash.
I thought this was a strange product for the summer
where many of us are not sporting wool garments,
but I have since learned from a fellow shopper
who also happened to be a YouTube viewer, which was so cool,
this could also work for delicates,
including silk pillowcases,
really anything that needs a gentle wash.
The Armor All three in one car disinfectant
that you see right here is now available
as a full-size product.
Not one of those little dinky squirt bottles.
This is a great grab for $1.25.
I should mention none of this video is sponsored.
Dollar Tree is not paying me to make this video.
Seven-quart car drain pans.
I don't quite understand these.
I assume this is for oil leaking
from the bottom of a vehicle
but my question is, if you have that much oil leaking,
don't you have a much larger issue?
If a car expert is able to enlighten me
on this product in the comment section, please do so.
And finally, I purchased the car odor eliminator,
also made in the USA.
Available in black glacier, which sounds like a fun cologne
or the new car fresh version which I bought.
My car no longer smells
like the chocolate cheesecake I consumed
in my trunk from Costco.
Although it doesn't really smell like a new car, either.
It smells good if you are considering this purchase,
just not a typical new car scent.
In the number six spot, It's a product that I wish I had
during my 4th of July barbecue.
By the way, I hope you all had a wonderful Independence Day.
When I'm setting kitchen timers inside,
I typically just yell at my Echo
but when I was outside barbecuing
and I didn't have my phone by me,
I could've used this $1.25 electronic timer
so I am including it for any future grilling.
Veggie brushes, another product that confuse me
so please feel free to weigh in in the comments.
I usually just clean my fruits and veggies
under the sink with my hands.
Is this brush supposed to provide
an additional level of cleanliness?
Please fill me in.
Hanging lids for mason jars, great for summer DIY projects.
In addition to these decorative lids
which can easily turn any mason jar
into a beautiful flower arrangement.
In a moment, I'll handle back-to-school shopping
so stick around for that but in the number seven spot,
while school's not in session,
new kids entertainment options,
including sensory pop toys, which my daughter is in awe of.
I purchased her the pink one,
which she has not yet put down.
A pack of 100 water balloons is a buck 25.
The swim masks that you see right here
could also come in handy.
I love the water balls, the throw toys,
alongside many other outdoor games and activities.
Many of you responded to my temperature pole,
indicating that the temps are well over a hundred degrees
where you are so for indoor entertainment,
sticker and coloring books in a variety of options
have been updated this month at my local Dollar Tree.
This is random, it's a safety cone.
I don't know why I'm including it,
but it seemed like an interesting purchase.
If you're doing any type of backyard activity,
a kid's birthday party, maybe helping a grandchild
or a niece or a nephew learn how to ride a bike
in your driveway, here you go.
In the number eight spot,
back to school has arrived at Dollar Tree,
and I'll try to be cognizant of the items,
which would otherwise be less expensive from Walmart.
But I was impressed with the stationary essentials
and locker accessories, including magnetic
and cactus-themed locker mirrors for no apparent reason.
Craft caddies for paint brushes,
glue sticks and other art accessories,
book storage options which would be great for both shelf
and potentially locker organization,
backpacks that, in terms of durability and quality,
would likely be best for a preschooler
or kindergarten student, zippered pencil pouches
including translucent neon options, faux leather,
and as a returning highly popular product from last year,
the plastic school supply bins are now restocked.
In a moment, I'll expose a Dollar Tree purchase
you might wanna avoid but first for my next point,
by all means, purchase this beard trimming cape.
Not all heroes wear capes, but if you have a beard
and you groom yourself over a sink
and you don't wanna make the sink dirty,
you are a hero if you put this on.
The equivalent of this product has a list price of $20
and a sale price of 16 on Amazon
versus the buck 25 Dollar Tree pricing.
Although I will conclude the man
on the Amazon packaging is significantly more handsome
with a more luxurious beard.
Detangler brushes, great if you have tangled hair
or a personal vendetta against conditioner.
You could buy these.
A wide variety of combs and comb sets are also available.
To store your various hair and beard taming products,
there are some great new storage options
that could also accommodate shower products
due to the drainage holes.
For the next point on my list,
I'll share some more captivating Dollar Tree Plus finds
and also show you what to avoid.
Starting with the stronger Dollar Tree Plus finds
which are surprisingly enough tech items.
These headphones, as an example, look really similar
to what you would see at Five Below.
If I were to compare the stores side by side,
the headphones, which are identical from both retailers
for the most part, are $5 with Dollar Tree Plus pricing.
While at Five Below, they range from 5.25 to $7.
Another example, premium organization items.
These new shoe organizers and clothing storage identical
to Five Below's offerings, once again,
55 cents cheaper compared to Five Below
if you are purchasing these from Dollar Tree.
Other decor options,
including flowers and faux potted plants,
also 55 cents cheaper at Dollar Tree
versus Five Below pricing.
On something like a basketball
which would be a great grab for the summer or the fall,
the pricing is identical between both retailers
but there is one section to avoid
or at least pay very close attention to price comparisons,
full-sized premium cleaning products
from major brands like Downey,
as well as Dawn Powerwash as an example,
which is $5 at Dollar Tree.
At Walmart, the exact same thing, 4.94.
I realize it's only a 6 cents difference,
but that does add up quickly.
I'll do my best every month to compare the prices for you
but do exercise caution
toward the Dollar Tree Plus pricing as a whole.
Now for two final bonus buys, both at a buck 25,
there's a new selection of water-enhancing drink flavors
including Sunkist, Welch's, Crush, Hawaiian Punch
and even A&W branded drinks.
And don't forget the sunglasses.
If you frequently forget, break or sit on your sunglasses
and refuse to buy an expensive pair like I do,
the options at Dollar Tree are polarized
and actually have some level of UV protection.
And there you have it. Thanks for watching.
I love you, bye-bye.
