Dollar Tree

There are several really nice Dollar Tree locations throughout the Phoenix area. However, this is NOT one of them. This store and its merchandise are absolutely filthy. It’s really a shame that this Dollar Tree is such an eye sore.

Came here a lot for some food items, household items, etc. I really like that everything in the store is really $ 1. Unfortunately, its often very busy and check-​out lines are long.

Everything is actually $ 1.
Got some nice gifts to give away to clients to get more sales for work lol.

I can always find exactly what I need here. And besides its a $ 1. I can’t see anyone complaining about that!

I don’t do dollar stores often, but I thought I’d head in to this one a couple of weeks back as I was in need of some Halloween candy and anything else that struck my fancy.
I wasn’t impressed.
The store had a poor selection, but I managed to find about $ 30 worth of things to purchase. It didn’t seem very clean or organized either. At check-​out, the woman was not friendly at all and when I went to leave with my cart, I was stopped at the door by the big pole attached to the car. (I guess the carts are only to be used inside the store and this stops them from leaving).
I do not plan on returning to this store.
If you are interested in visiting a store for cheap /​affordable items of all kinds, I think the 99 cent store may be a better option. They carry produce and more food products also. I’ll be taking my dollars elsewhere moving forward. Sorry dollar tree.

I live an equal distance between the Dollar Tree and a 99 Cents Only store. This store is a good dollar store to get some items like cheese curds (sometimes), toiletries, and some dry snack foods. While this is a good location, I prefer the 99 Cents Only store because they have a produce department and usually a better selection of healthy snack foods like pistachios.

Now there are many stores that are specific to only selling «Dollar» merchandise. This one I have to say truly is worth every buck you spend. This is a large store will mass inventory all for a dollar or less. Large isle filled with all the great stuff people like from the floor to the top of the shelf. I frequent shop this location. It is not the neatest (meaning isles neat and organized). They don’t seem to have anyone walk the floors to straighten the isles. Some isles are a complete mess due to mass stock of items. They also have long lines at the register. They could use an extra cashier especially when it is busy. However, I will not frown apon that as this store really has many great qualities. I am always greeted. The staff is super friendly and willing to help. There are many great options to choose from which is why I always return.

Wow! This store is HUGE! I honestly think it is the biggest Dollar Tree I have ever been in. The store is well lit, well stocked, and for the most part, clean and organized. The only downfall is that they only had 1 checkout lane open, which was about 7 – 8 people deep. I felt bad going through with a rather large (30 item) order.

This Dollar Tree was initially difficult to find, but I finally did. It’s on the south side of Thomas near 40^th Street. It’s actually quite well-​stocked and neat for a Dollar Tree; I’ve been in Dollar Trees that were really messy and unorganized. This store has greeting cards, gift wrap/​bags, a kitchen section, toys, home cleaning products, home décor, and a large section of food. I came for cards and gift wrap, but you could really save some money by buying things for home that cost more elsewhere. Hey, I’m definitely not above saving money OR shopping at Dollar Tree!

I shop here often because I’m on a budget. The only things I don’t like about this store are the other customer’s behavior and long lines with usually only one register open.

I’ve been frequenting the Dollar store for the past three weeks while shopping for a work project. I have bought just about every pair of safety scissors in Phoenix, playdough, and other small manipulatives for elementary reading and math kids.
Anytime I need cleaning supplies for home I head straight to this Dollar Tree Store. They have the BEST carpet cleaner called LA’s Totally Awesome Carpet Spot and Stain Remover. It really works!
The Dollar Tree is a great place to stock up on cheap party decorations.
Shopping at the Dollar Tree is kinda like buying a Saturn. You know the price before you walk in and how much you’re going to spend before you check out. I love that!

As I pulled up to the Dollar Tree around 40^th St and Thomas, I was filled with excited anticipation. I love the Dollar Tree stores. There is always the possibility that I am going to find some fantastic treasure for only $ 1!
I walked in and grabbed a basket. There was a line of 7 – 8 miserable looking people waiting in the sole open checkout lane. I don’t think these people were as excited as me to be in the Dollar Tree. Too bad for them.
I try to walk down every aisle to make sure I don’t miss any great finds. The toy aisles actually looked like there had been a monsoon inside the store. There were toys all over the floor. As I looked at the toys, I imagined all the slobber and snot that was probably all over them already. I’m 35, I don’t need toys, and I don’t want a communicable disease, so I moved on.
I did want an address book, and some desk accessories. As I was looking for these items kids were running free without supervision. One kid was bouncing a ball, another was hitting something with a plastic toy. Hey, I’m on their turf, so I try to ignore it all and keep shopping. Then I hear the squeaking. It’s like one of those dog chew toys that squeak. A child is squeezing it incessantly for over 5 minutes straight. I actually walk by the aisle to see if he is supervised, and both his parents are right next to him. I get the world will need future assholes to replace the ones that will die in 15 years, so these parents are training one. I still can’t complain, I knew where I was going, so I tried to ignore it and keep shopping.
One of my favorite things for $ 1 were the mystery bags. There is a girl and a boy mystery bag. They are paper bags, and they are stapled shut. I always wonder what is in them, but I won’t buy them because I feel like they have to be a trick. Like you get some piece of crap in your bag, and then you’ve wasted a $ 1. OK, I actually do waste more than $ 1 on crap I can see, but at least I know what I am getting into. I still really want to know what is in those bags though!
I found eight useful items in all, and I couldn’t take the squeaky toy anymore, so I got in line to check out. Luckily, I was next! The checkout girl had really dark circles under her eyes and did not say one word. She looked like she was barely holding it together. I personally think it added to the ambiance of the Dollar Tree. It’s not like we needed to converse at all. I happily took my eight items home.
I am already thinking about my next treasure hunt to the Dollar Tree on Broadway in Tempe. They usually have even better stuff!
