SHESPEAKS Your Power to Influence

 I used to walk by the Dollar Tree while running errands and never bothered to look inside.  I always thought it was a place to get cheap candy and knick knacks that would break within a few days.  Boy, was a wrong.

One day during a routine errand run with the kids, I decided to go into Dollar Tree to get balloons for an upcoming party.

When I walked in, I was in awe - the place was neatly stocked with all sorts of fun goodies!!!!  It was as if we had walked into some magical candy store... and everything was $1.

Now a few years later, there are a list of things I will always buy at the dollar store and never anywhere else.  These things are...

• party supplies (including table cloths, punch bowls, tongs, cups, etc...
• Helium balloons
• gift bags and wrapping paper
• Hair ties and pins
• coloring books 
• TAPE (I get a pack of 8 rolls of tape for $1!!!!!!!)
• Any and all office supplies 
• Magic eraser pads (a two pack for $1)
• most cleaning supplies

Most Dollar Trees differ in the products they carry.  I have quite a few locations around me and I've scouted to see what they each carry.  It's not too predictable since they get different products each shipment.

Awesome finds in the past:

• Udderly Smooth lotion tubes
• Clearasil face wash
• solar lamps
• Kids Disney wall decals
• big bags of Ring Pops
• MANY As Seen of TV items

So next time you see a Dollar Tree, stop in and see what they have to offer!  You may be pleasantly surprised!
