    My mom loved dollar tree… she used to always buy stocking stuffers there. Sadly, she passed away in 2021, but this year I followed her footsteps and bought our stocking stuffers there. I think she’d be proud!

    I remember walking around town collecting cans to recycle so we could go to the dollar store and buy a huge can of ravioli , a pack of cookies, and a bottle of pop so we could eat when i was growing up. It was not the best but now that i am older i miss it and the memories i made with my parents doing it.

      @rosemarydoran9907 Рік тому +3

      Gift bags, greeting cards, tissue paper, party goods are always a good buy. Gift wrap, not usually. Holiday decorations are often a good biy for dmall things. They sell out early! Some kitchen utensils are great (meat masher), Snyder pretzels, 2 liter pop, Old Orchard juice, some cereal (close out seasonal big boxes of name brand), seasonal dishes. As you noted, the small containers and boxes aren't a good deal. You definitely have to compare prices and sizes as some DT items are smaller than the regular grocery stores. Movie theatre candy is another goodvthing. Shelf stable milk is a good deal and Frugal Fit Mom says small corn tortillas are a good buy at DT. Last summer they had the KIND frozen icream type dessert in the freezer srction. They were $5+ at the gricery store. Glad you discovered the joy of DT!

    When I was 9 or 10 we would go to my granddads on Saturdays. He would always have an RC Cola and a Moon Pie for me and my twin sister (RIP Donna. I miss you) when we got there. We loved Saturdays because my dad and mom couldn't afford all the sweet things like that so granddaddy always spoiled us.
    When we had rice at home everyone would put gravy on it except for me and my dad. We had butter on ours. That was it. If we had any leftovers my mom would let me have it for breakfast the next morning. What great times those were.

    That is such great value especially when you're buying for 10 people. The Pringle's price of $2 at the bigger store as aposed to $1 dollar at this store made my eyes pop. We pay $5.50 for ONE pack. Australia is insane with price gouging atm, everything is going up, everything. People are resorting to eating meat once a week and starting to grow their own produce, so I definitely understand and empathise. ❤

      It's the same here in New Zealand. Even the basics are becoming too expensive for me. Fruit and vegetables are extremely expensive so the government stepped in to cap the price on some basic items. I'm terminally ill so I rely on a disability allowance which I'm very grateful for getting financial help. By the time I have paid all my bills I only have $85 a week for food. Both of my parents passed away in the last few years so I have their dogs to look after. I do like a challenge so I try to make it into a game. I was a teacher and foster Mum until my lifelong specialists gave me two years to live. I taught 5 year olds and I taught as much as possible by playing games so that may be why I turn hard situations into challenges and games.

    It was interesting to see you go down memory lane. There is something about eating food you grew up with. My husband loves moon pies and the Vienna sausages. I grew up in Germany and we never had either of those. We did used to have a potted beef, l am still missing that flavour and have not been able to find anything like it. The closest is corned beef in a can, and I love it.
    I also noticed years ago that some of the prices are better somewhere else. Now with smartphones it's so easy to price check.
    Your grandma was so sweet in getting you kids a food and a snack of foods you liked for Christmas. Nice memories.

    On the canned pears you can make pear salad just add some shredded cheese, a half a teaspoonful of mayo and you can top with a cherry, and the canned peaches are really good topped with cottage cheese. Or you can make a peach cobbler. They are delicious!!! Or you can blend the peaches in a blender and spread on a piece of parchment paper in your oven on the lowest setting. Make your kids some fruit roll ups!!! ( You could season with some cinnamon and brown sugar for the unhealthy version) lol. Thanks for showing us all these great finds at the dollar tree!!!

And when she asked if he wanted nuggets, he said what are they? 😂 Then when she asked what snack he wanted instead of going to her snack cupboard he went to the fridge and asked for bell pepper. She informed me that although he looked like a usual boy he wasn't. I was super proud of his food choices.

    New to your channel. Great haul . I love Dollar Tree - my Coffee, English Muffins, Dish Detetgent, Dustmop, Floor cloths, for the mop - all are just some of my favorite items DT sells.
    Looking forward to seeing more videos especially the one where the kids try foods from your youth.

    This is awesome love how you price check items that can be purchased cheaper by 20- 40 cents. We shop there for camping items and the milk in cartons is new those come in real handy. Did not know dollar tree had those items its been awhile but will check it our for these items. Sometimes the dollar trees here in Colorado are bare the shelves are empty never stocked like this in your video. Thank you for sharing i enjoyed this grocery haul 😊. Have great new year.

    I grew up in Buffalo NY in the 50’s and 60’s. And we took potted meat sandwiches to school for lunch. My mom couldn’t afford for us to have the hot lunches the school provided. But I still eat potted meat.

      I grew up there in the 60s & 70s. Potted meat mixed with miracle whip & that cold wind whipping off lake Erie that made you feel like you didn't even have a coat on! Memories 😂.

    I go to DT often ... Love most things I've gotten there ... Always wondered about the tajin watermelon rings and the knock off chips ... Would love to see a video of your family tast testing all your finds ... Also the freezer section has some yummy finds, love their Jamaican beef pattys ... Makes for an easy snack or lunch with a salad ❤️ Wishing you a Happy and Healthy Holiday season ❤️😊

      @itsjustme7487 Рік тому

      @melanytodd2929 The store is restocked the day after the supply order is received. I used to work at a Dollar tree back in the late 1980s.

    Mama Bell, I love that you love going to the dollar tree and appreciate a lot of the goodies they got, I have 3 dollar trees close to my apartment and love going there and find full size products at $1.25, sometimes you get to try new stuff before companies launch them at big groceries stores.

    I grew up in the south and I didn’t get snacky foods either. My grandparents on both sides were farmers so it was a lot of fresh foods. We went out to eat maybe twice a year. Things are so different for me now that we live in Alaska. My husband grew up here and he didn’t eat a fresh pear until he was an adult. Fresh eggs and milk were rare. Now we have better options since the population is bigger.

    • @melanieroberts2221
