Dollar Tree

well organized store i love it to go there always

This dollar tree is so organized and clean. They have a great selection of items. The staff is very nice and helpful. They should be very proud of the work they do.

I’ve had nothing but pleasant experiences with the staff. I’m sure it’s because they’re used to all the weirdos that come in there, so when they get a chance to talk to me, and I say things semi intelligent and only slightly creepy, it’s a breath of fresh air.
The clientele is what you’d expect from the area… Weirdos, rude people, nice people, toothless people, whatever. I like it on Sunday to people-​watch; and the show is so enjoyable, that I don’t even care how busy the place is, and that it smells like a horse’s ass.

Since there’s about 8 pages here on Unilocal of these stores, this review is of all those which I’ve been in, not just this location. As many Unilocalers have pointed out, everything in the store is $ 1 (plus prevailing sales taxes, of course). This includes the weekly Sunday editions of the Trib or Sun-​Times too — what a deal! Occasionally, you can find an item that’s marked for under-​a-​dollar (I saw a can of something for 79¢ the other day — was not moved to buy though).
If you are seeking some economical outlet for craft items, things for a picnic or beach party, or party favors for the kids, you’re sure to spot something in a Dollar Tree. It’s important to remember the «Tree» part of their name. Those other stores with «Dollar» or «$ 1» in their names may have just SOME items for a buck, not all stock in the store. These stores are often part of some open mall, so free parking is plentiful. This particular store is partly hidden by the bigger Walgreens that anchors the mall, so it’s easily missed.
Are you looking for the cheapest «Zorrie» flip-​flops (for kids and adults) without actually cutting apart an old tire? You know those sunlight-​powered toys with the animated «potted flower» to place on your car’s dash or rear window shelf? They’re here for just a buck!

Everything is $ 1! One measly buck! Hell, what’s not to like?! They have a bit of everything. I’ve never had a service issue. There section for teachers is awesome! I get the best stuff for my classroom! Well, I do when I can get there before everyone else does. :-)

I was excited to find this store in the area. I was up there to check out the Unique Thrift Store (also quite good). Whenever I have a chance to visit Dollar Tree I try to do so to pick up odds and ends that I resent being bled dry for at other stores. Besides, it’s always fun to see what new stuff they have. Today I scored a small bag ‘o goodies ranging from vaseline (get your mind out of the gutter — it’s for skin abrasions) to retractable pens. They are .7 which is a bit larger than I like (I’m a fine point retractable pen fanatic) — but 2 for $ 1 makes it okay. I just won’t use ‘em for my serious writing in my serious journal. Not that I really have one of those, but one can dream.
What I do have is an el cheapo 2014 weekly calendar to record all those important events I have coming up. That is, the ones I plan to have coming up. Oh well, at least I’m prepared — thanks Dollar Tree! The main reason I love this store is that it is a dollar store where everything is actually a dollar. While I have nothing against Dollar General and Family Dollar, sometimes I feel as though they are just an excuse to charge more than $ 1 for just about everything they have. Okay, so now I’m embarrassed that I actually complained about a friggin’ dollar store at all. That just shows you where some of us have stooped to. .. shameful, just shameful.

Please tell your employees to do some actual work instead of standing there gossiping. I was there today to buy some shampoo /​conditioner and noticed a few of your employees just standing around & gossiping.

Dollar Tree is the BOMB. It’s the BOMB-​iest of all dollar stores. I’ve been going for years since I lived out in the burbs. I’m a big fan because it’s actually got some nice merchandise. They have their own brand that knocks off other popular brands. Plus they have the regular brands too. You can find some classic make-​up that’s been discontinued (i.e. I found some kick a** Rimmel lipsticks once) and I do a side business where I have to give out prizes to the attendees –I found some really cute little purses there. How much were they? Just $ 1!!! No scams here! I got some really cool little ceramic skulls for my quasi-​gothic second bedroom décor too! Sometimes you are in the mood to shop, but you feel broke. Well, Dollar Tree can take care of those cravings for you. You can look around, maybe get five items… how much is that? That’s right… just $ 5 (plus $ 10 in city tax… ha ha just kidding.) Anyway, this whole strip mall is pretty cool so check it out! Maybe you’ll see me there one morning after working out with SJ at the YMCA, eating breakfast at Baker’s Square and making a quick stop at Discovery… heeeeeeeey…my perfect Saturday morning! Oh, and by the way, they just built a new one at Lincoln and Devon where the old Hollywood Video was! Hee Hee Hee… I can’t wait to check it out!

This is the best dollar store on the strip. It’s fantastic for those $ 5 gift exchanges or any other low-​budget holiday festivity.
It’s also a welcome diversion if you’re using the not-​so-​bad laundromat next door.

You can’t go wrong when you’re only spending $ 1! Except for the Christmas tie that I bought because it plays «Frosty the Snowman» — that is wrong, but it’s for a gag gift, so basically, not wrong.
I really like going here for things like tissue paper, wrapping paper, dish soap, plastic containers, gift bags, plastic holiday bins for holiday treats, foil trays, tape… I don’t ever buy food here, but I definitely recommend the selection of wrapping paper, and party supplies. It’s perfect for gag gifts too :) Do you want one of those glasses/​nose/​mustache combo things? Yep, they have it. I’m telling you… they have everything (almost).
Why go to the office supply store and pay over $ 1 for Scotch tape when you can buy the same brand at the dollar store and spend $ 1? I mean, that’s just crazy. And that’s just one example.
Dollar tree is clean too. And everything isn’t 100 years old. I’ve been to dollar stores like that — and this isn’t. Give it a try. Your popularity will increase at the holiday white elephant gift exchange. Trust me. My plastic trumpet, curly straws, mind game, stickers, Christmas song playing tie and FBI kit are coming out at my gift exchange this evening… let the popularity continue!
