Dollar Tree

Tidy and organized as DT should be. I popped in for two things and also took a look at the books on sale. Sometimes, you can find stuff that’s a bargain and sometimes it’s far from a bargain. The Hershey’s Kisses with Hazlenut looked good, but $ 1 for a three-​pack? No way! The laser pointer for my cats? Yes!

There are 2 Dollar Tree locations in Marlborough. This location is the worse of the two.
If you live in the area, or live in the middle, go to the other Dollar Tree in the Marlborough Commons on Boston Post Road EAST. That location is much newer, cleaner, and doesn’t have a CARPET!
This Dollar Tree location sits in the RK Plaza on Rt 20 Westbound, between Hannaford & Longhorn in Marlborough. The store is somewhat old, small, busy, and just average. The selection isn’t amazing, but carried most of the normal Dollar Tree stuff I was looking for. Container section was lacking and candy aisle was sort of dull. Staff were friendly and kept enough registers open to keep traffic flowing. My big complaint (which is a problem for a lot of different Dollar Tree stores) is the CARPET! Carpets are not ideal for stores like this and the West Marlborough Dollar Tree chose to use it and the East Marlborough location didn’t. If possible visit the East Marlborough DT location. Here a good experience may happen, over there at the other store it WILL happen. 3 stars.

Hit or miss depending on what you are looking for.
This place was clean and well organized with lots to pick from.
The girls love ring pops so we scored and found a bag of 4 for a buck. An actual «dollar» store — how cool.

Come on. These stores are all a dump, and this store is no exception. If you need to buy some garbage you don’t need, and don’t want to waste your $ 1 on a lottery ticket — great, go to Dollar tree.
There is nothing here you need. Don’t bother!

It disgusts me when a go into a dollar store to find that not everything is a dollar. For this store, everything IS $ 1.
They have a wide variety of things. Of course, you get what you paid for. Don’t expect superb quality when you only paid a dollar for it.
If you’re into sodoku, this place is a great deal. $ 1 per book. If you’re very lucky, you can get it at Building 19 for under $ 1. Another great deal here is flimsy plastic gloves. It’s like a bag of 50. It’s great for kitchen use, such as marinating and prepping food. I’m not anal about being clean and sanitary. I’m just too lazy to wash my hands sometimes so I just use gloves.
