Insta Challenges Aww, thankyou sweetie! I appreciate you taking the time to answer me! HUgs! 🥰
R5 Adventures Thankyou so much sweetie! Me too! I’m not able to watch without any captions. 😩
Have a great day! Xxxx
I buy the 6 hour emergency candles that come in a black box. Those things literally burn 6 hours each. I love them!!! Great to have in case of an emergency black out...you're welcome 😜
Thanks for the info, I need to get some in case our lights go out.
i buy the scented ones that last all night and are still burning through breakfast the next day.
Yes! Please make a video just on does and don’t s in the food section
Id love to see that too
Yes please!
Agree
Please make a video of the do's to buy at Dollar tree
Do it!
Stick the “ruined” votive in the freezer overnight. Wax will pop right out the next day. Might need to use a butter knife to crack it apart small enough to pull all the pieces out.
I've seen where ppl boil water and pour it in and the wax floats to the top??
Wait for it to harden and remove
For all of my wax warmers I put the tray in the freezer for like 30 minutes and it pops right out. So much less of a mess than any other method
Warm it up and it pour it into a candle holder or glass jar. If you save several used candles and melt the little bit up on the bottom up and put it all in one all you have to do is purchase some candle wick and you have a new candle. You can do this with all your old candles. Make your own.
@@toriblackaby2211 thats what I do too!😁
I pour boiling water into votive it comes right out. Just don't pour it down drain. I use empty coffee can.
Their "honey" is actually honey flavored corn syrup. Found that out the hard way. LOL
Phuck I just bought some.
@@Music_Lover0612 Oh no! Maybe you'll luck out and find it's the real thing?
To be honest.... Most honey that you but off the shelf in your groceries stores is a mixture of honey and corn syrup, or honey and some other crap/chemical. This started happening a long time ago to keep up with "demand" and to make an even bigger profit. So I've stopped buying honey all around. Same as maple syrup. The only way you'd know for sure that your buying %100 pure honey is straight from the honey farm.
ZRAM ZRAM it’s not corn syrup. It’s “honey” made from clovers. So basically, honey made from flowers. I like it and it’s a cheaper alternative. Also it’s good for dietary restrictions like vegan.
Most if not all of the food items they sell list the ingredients so a quick check of this should clear up any questions of what ur buying. Most if that stuff is actually cheaper at Walmart, especially when u compare the size (quantity) of each item...that’s not to say though that they don’t have certain items that ur just not gonna find anywhere else for the small price of a dollar. Not knocking them, or anyone here, but it’s simple to just quickly read what ur buying and u shouldn’t get duped.
The thing is everythings a dollar and sometimes you get what you pay for.
There are some "mood" candles that last days and smell wonderful, it's definitely a trial and error with them though
Absolutely.
Yes. That's why I appreciate quality and prefer to shop at places like Target even though it's expensive. I don't mean to seem booshie. I just appreciate quality and don't like things to tear easily and I like good quality food.
@@thevegantitian Target is overpriced smh
That’s fair
I work at the grocery store , they also sell different cooking oils that say the same where it's more of soy oil than a blend. read your labels everywhere you go .
I've had the dollar tree spoons and forks for like 2 years and none have broken or rusted...how rough are you on your silverware? 😂
Mackenzie Jo I agree
Same
She tried to pick her mole off her cheek and that shit rusted bro lmao
Same!
😁💓
I painted Santa heads on the spoons and draped the handles over the branch of the tree. I made quite a bit of money from it too!
Really cute idea!
I would LOVE for you to make a video about Dollar Tree's food section -- what you recommend buying and what you recommend we never buy. I love this video, by the way. I agree with you on quality needs to be taken into consideration as well as total price and unit price. Rock on!!
With the olive oil too, you want something in a dark bottle because that keeps the integrity of the oil high.
Lynn Myers, good point. In my experience with oil & essential oils, if the storage / packaging it comes in isn’t protective enough, the oil probably didn’t have much “integrity” to begin with.
It's a FREAKING dollar!
@@danesstang9307 I believe she's talking about the actual olive oil and not the dollar tree oil. The olive oil has an approximate cost of $16.
Aside from the packaging itself for oil integrity maintenance, olive oil should be stored in a dark place, i.e., a windowless cabinet or pantry.
I guess olive oil is expensive 6percent olive oil is worth a dollar. you want the better more stuff you have to pay.
For the silverware, you could use pliers to bend the forks into bracelets! The tongs can be bent into spirals and fun shapes. Came across an artist at a farmers market years ago who made bracelets out of forks this way and painted them fun colors and sealed them :)
I work at the dollar tree. Everytime I stock the toys, they are so toxic I get nauseous from smelling them all day.
Yes I used to work at dollar tree and I totally agree
A B I also live in Montreal tell me more
I believe it. However, consider that many items, toys and other, in dept stores that we shop everyday, come from freakin' CHINA, so the same is true for places other than dollar stores.
@@evovi8868 God's peace to you. Jump in anytime. 💕
I drive trucks and I pick up from the dollar tree wearhouse and y'all wouldn't believe how they load the trailers let alone how long the product sit in those hot trailers the wearhouse workers will eat the product and leave the trash in the trailer broken glass and etc... It's bad
Thanks for the comments, really appreciate the tips
If you want your candles to burn slower freeze them.
Susan Hendrix interesting! One time only or you should freeze everytime before you light it?
@@MegaHotdiggity everytime
One thing I’ll add to your list is the liquid laundry detergent. For a buck I wanted to give it a try but it’s extremely thin and watered down! 👎🏻
I totally agree!!! I was like, ok...... do I double it now?!? I couldn't imagine it getting my clothes clean!!! It was just a quick grab to have at the lake so I can go to the laundromat vs. bringing my stuff back and forth!! I brought that bottle home (along with my clothes), poured it out and put in some actual laundry detergent!!! I will however, get the Suavitel fabric softener, because I buy that anyway and dilute it to 50/50. It's SO thick!!! I haven't had a problem with that so far. Have a FABULOUS day!!! 😉😀
Rebecca Prudhomme You’re absolutely right! I use the Suavitel also and it’s great! No problems there! Have a great day too! ☺️
They sell that Dollar detergent everywhere dollar general or Walmart it's good or cleaning old shoes that's all I use it for.😂😂😂😂
@@sweetbeccamaria6560 try their $1 bottle of Tide. It smells awesome and it does 6 loads. Good to have when you just need a small amount of laundry detergent and not a huge bottle.
What I do to the laundry detergent is empty a bottle of Dawn or liquid dish detergent. Roll, mix well.$2.00.Make a lot of bubbles,smells good, take grease out of clothes and clothes clean. Just a tip🇱🇷🇱🇷
One hardware item from there that has been great for me is the small screwdriver set. I think it might be labeled as eyeglass repair? It comes in a handy case and it is perfect for removing those battery covers on toys. I'm a speech pathologist and I use it all the time!
This has also worked well for me. There is also a screwdriver that has interchangeable heads that you can find sometimes. I’ve had one & used it for small household jobs for years.
Yes, great for toys!
I've been trying to find one of those. I didn't think to look at the dollar tree. We have a new one that's downtown, not in a Walmart mall and it's much bigger than the ones by Walmart. I'll look down at that one. Thank you.
Hannah Douglass yes that’s a good buy to me.
YES I have had that set for over 10 years and its still in great shape.
It's sad that you have to apologize for saying have a fantastic day....REALLY!!
People need to quit being so sensitive!!
Really. If someone gets offended about you saying any kind of positive remarks they shouldn't watch your channel. Some people love their misery and want to spread it around. You be you, to hell with them.
Did you know that some people are actually born highly sensitive people I'm one of them and I'm not going to allow somebody to sit there and tell me not to be so sensitive that's the way we're made okay
I AGREE! 😒
To be afraid to "wish" someone a great or fantastic etc. day is just sad. 😔
@@miss.l.c.minister I'm one of the most sensitive people on the planet but would never be offended by a nice wish for a good day. Why!?
@@miss.l.c.minister No one is born a snowflake but nice try ..
Thank you for telling the absolute TRUTH!! I know from my own experience with some items!! I love the store for mostly my DIY' S!! It is a fact that we get what we pay for♥
4:13 - I’m an accountant, I got you. First calculation is correct - 8.5 oz of 6% olive oil gets you 0.51 oz of 100% olive oil for $1. I couldn’t tell how many oz were in the second bottle, so I looked at the one I have of the same brand, which is 16.9 oz. If this is the size of your bottle then you are getting just over 1 oz for $1. In order for your calculation to be correct on the second bottle (1.5 oz for $1) the bottle would have to contain 24 oz.
Regardless, judging by the way the bottles look in the video, you’re getting more actual olive oil for your $ from the grocery store bottle. Hope that helps!
The silverware you can get 3 for $.88 at Walmart
really? I've never looked👍👍thanks
Rocafella Plaza82 maybe if you can’t afford anything else
Rocafella Plaza82 😆 I didn’t buy my silverware at the dollar tree I just said they have it there
Rocafella Plaza82 but also...some people really can’t afford better. Way to shit on people who don’t have much money.
Rocafella Plaza82 and also...I didn’t say anything about the dollar tree I said...WALMART
YES to making a video on the do’s and do not’s on the dollar tree food section!!!! The longer and more in depth the better😊😊..... keep up the excellent job and videos
Set your jar with that messy melted candle in the freezer for awhile and then get a spoon or knife and it should slip on out!!!
A wonderful way to use that spoon!
You can also boil some water in a small pot and place the votive in, then just pour out the melted wax, clean with hot water and soap
Yes! This works! I do this all the time
Works like a charm
I know this is about removing this candle already melted, but my Aunt told me a neat trick to prevent a candle from sticking. Just spray some cooking spray like PAM in the candle holder before placing the candle in it. The melted candle just pops right out. ☺️
I think the tools are really just what you're looking for and using them for. Like the panting stuff... if I just want to do a cheap fun project that I am going go destroy painting supplies for... I'm gonna use dollar tree products if I can. They dont have great quality but they do the job if you're looking for something to throw away in the end.
Thank you I like the Dollar tree too. I only buy bleach, sponges, hair ties, greeting cards, party supplies, and holiday supplies at the dollar store.
1. Candles
2. USB/phone cables

I agree with your point about vitamins. Besides, stores like Walgreens and CVS frequently run Buy One, Get One Free sales for vitamins and supplements.

You don’t have to spent $16 for a good olive oil! Trader Joe’s sells them for $7!
Parwin Ali she probably doesn’t have Trader Joe’s in her area
Agree
Parwin Ali America’s Test Kitchens recommends Trader Joe’s Olive Oil And their honey is 100% honey
Lyn Norman love Trader Joe’s and their prices 👍
Aldi has pure olive oil for about the same as well.
Girl, don't let trolls not let you share good will to others. THEY were having a bad day and THEY should have a GREAT day!
If you pour a little water in the container then drop your candle in, the melted wax will just sit on top of the water, and when you blow it out, you can just reach in and pull it right out. Doesn't leave a mark, you don't have to worry about your candle holder breaking from being in the freezer or pouring very hot water in it... I love this method!!!
Kallie, just a quick little tip, before putting a votive or pillar into a container to burn, put about a teaspoon ( depending on size, but enough to lightly cover the bottom) of water in the bottom. When the burn is done, the leftover wax should come out easily. It works for me. Can’t take credit but can’t give credit either because I saw the tip years ago and forget where. Try it, it works! The only thing I buy in the DT hardware section is zip ties🤪 You have a “fantastic” day too!
Thx for the tip.
Was just going to say this. Votives are not like pillars and water going to melt. So use water
Great tip, thanks.
Will that nasty wax come out if you put it in the freezer for a bit? I know that often works for the residue wax at the bottom of candle jars
Also freeze the candles before burning
As for the hardware section: there are some things worth it just not blades or tools. However, tarp, drop cloth, painter bins, command hooks (actual brand), caribiners, masks (for painting/fumes), & tape measures are all things I've bought & still have & use. Also the signs & labels for garage sales are also good.
They have drop cloths?! I also love their sanding blocks - they are just as good as the 3M sanding blocks. They also have great razor blade/mini scraper's.
I think the tape measures are great since I think every home needs a few especially throwing it in the bag.
I haven't seen those at my DT but I'd buy them if I did lol. I do, however, have one item from the tool section that works perfectly. The carpenter L framing square. It's not a really large tool but it's hard to screw that up! Works great for small projects :)
@T. Dee Actually I use the carabiners to hang a heavy tennis bag on the fence 2 to 3 times a week and they work great
@T. Dee Actually, I use the large carabiner to hang my heavy tennis bag on the fence 2 to 3 times a weeks and it works great.
😊Hi, we enjoy your show, educating us on the Dollar Store. I remember my grandmother telling us you only get what you pay for. In some cases it's true. I seen you with the candle in the jar, add some water just enough to get the bottom wet. Then get a butter knife break up the melted candle. 🤗Thank you for advising us on different products. Especially the electrical that can spark or catch on fire. This made so much sense. 🤗THANK YOU again...............
The “silverware “ could be a wind chime. Thanks
Those like you who talk bad about Dollar tree, not everyone can afford to shop at other stores, this is a life saver!!
If you do the math, you will discover you are spending more.
6:14 I’ve found that if you are using items/tools from the Dollar Tree for one time use, or to make something else out of it then it’s ok. The small screwdriver sets that I got from there were pretty good. I’ve used them a lot and none of them broke or became distorted.
Yes! I totally agree. Their 10 piece screwdriver set and razor scrapers are amazing! 👏
I use boiling hot water and pour it into my used up candles. It all floats to the top, hardens. You can take it out and use in a warmer if still scented or toss and repeat the water as needed to save your beautiful glass jars!
Krystle Wallace
I use the left over wax too!
Only I use a butter knife & slice wax in half & it slips right out
Are you seriously saying that someone actually said something about you saying have a fantastic day? REALLY? Whoever that was needs to get a grip!
20isaBeast I was thinking the same thing! Whoever is going to bitch about her telling us to have a fantastic day needs to get a life. Those are the people that just sit and complain all day and make everyone miserable. Have a FANTASTIC day! That’s an ORDER!
Omg I cannot understand why people are making a big deal because she was wishing us a fantastic day. Chill out!!!

@@wandaburgess9400 You're right about that Wanda!
I’ve seen people make super cool wind chimes with cruddy silverware. That’d be a cool idea!
Excellent idea!
I’m glad you mentioned the electronics. For my elementary classroom I picked up the headphones because my littles are going to wreck them anyway but the casing on the wiring almost immediately peeled off. So dangerous! I hate it because teachers have to come out of pocket so much anyway :/
When you bent the spoons the first thing that popped up in my head was "There is no spoon" from The Matrix. But i guess in this case it's, "there is no value" 😂
goodwill is the best place for buying budget silverware !
Yes I too am a Goodwill shopper
I purchase almost all of my wardrobe there too. Why pay the full price for new things when they have more (New donations) coming in daily.
I simply don't want to go back to the Mall and pay dearly for the same item
My uncle adds salt to his coffee at restaurants because he drinks decaf and it is usually older and maybe a little burnt. The salt kills the burnt taste.
Awesome Tip. Thanks
My mom use salt but she said it’s to take away the bitter taste because some coffees are bitter. We are not drinking burnt coffee no matter what you put in it.
I tried this and it was disgusting.
I LOVE the dollar store!!!
I just go every week!!
I’ve bought screw drivers and pliers from the dollar tree and they work just fine for us , yes I wouldn’t buy everything they offer tool wise but poor people have poor means ( me ) 🤷🏻♀️
Yes! I totally agree. Their 10 piece screwdriver set is amazing! 👏
My son had a nasty habit of throwing his fork into the trash when he emptied his plate. I started buying forks from the dollar store after that. Yes disposable

Kathleen Brown I feel so dumb 😳why have I never thought of that and I have a votive holder sitting in my kitchen for months trying to come to terms with throwing it away because I can't get the cheapie candle out of it ugh! Thank you Kathleen for saving my candle holder 😊💕

Someone gave me a Dollar Tree charger back last May and it's still charging my phone and my phone hasn't exploded on me.
They work
... YET!
I have one in my car that I use occasionally, same, works fine!
Do you really want to take a chance, though. especially if you have a really expensive phone that you are still making payments on? You carrier won't be happy when you call them and try to explain that you were using a $1 charger instead of an OEM quality replacement when it went up in flames and you now want them to pay for a replacement phone.
Cesar Gente if you have an iphone non efi certified cables will destroy the charging circuitry and battery
I adore you. I find it sad that anyone could have an issue with you saying, “I hope you have a fantastic day.”
Now people are getting offended on wishing them a good day. Geez can’t say anything anymore even this comment is gonna offend someone. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
That person wasn't offended. I think it's most likely that she/he was having a very bad day or is going through a difficult time but doesn't want everyone to know so their actions appear to be a little weird or nasty.
Have an amazing day!!!!😉
Ruby Garcia don't let the grumpy ones ruin your happiness continue be polite the world are better with people like us. Those who don't see life like us have a black cloud on top on them,have a great day

You could put the spoons together like you did and then use a tea light underneath to make a diy wax warmer. Also thank you so much for this video!!
About those quick burning candles you don't like. There's a trick I learned a long time ago, that you might want to try, put them in the freezer for a few hours, they will of course be cold and a bit harder and will take longer to burn. Don't know how much longer but like I said, something you might want to try.
Get candles out of glass containers by freezing them and then cut loose by breaking residue up with a sharp, thin paring knife.
I like using the cooking stuff/utensils from the dollar tree for camping. You dont feel bad if you ruin them, and they are more zero waste than just typical disposable
The vitamins on name brand items doesn’t meets the standard as well. I can use the olive oil for anointing only because it’s smaller.
You are totally right. I’ve bought stuff from Dollar Tree that I love le and stuff I don’t like at all.
Me watching this well knowing I live on an island without a dollar tree:
Haha me too!
That is sad..... Maybe you both could get frieds, neighbors and check out the website. Almost all their stuff ships by the case (different quantities). Order and have a hard sale of what you don't use -- add maybe 25-50 cents more.
U should both be happy you are lucky

Some of the tools are great at Dollar Tree. The levels work well, as do the tape measures and small screwdriver sets, which are awesome for opening battery compartments on cordless lights and toys and more. The hammers are handy for when you need to hang pictures instead of parking in the huge Home Depot lot, walking up to the store while being careful not to get jabbed by people wheeling heavy-duty steel carts filled with lumber, paying much more for a hammer, then exiting through the door away from where you parked, trying to locate your Toyota from the eighty others that look just like it. For simple repairs, all the tools are pretty good. I wouldn't attempt a huge project with them, but they do the job when needed.
Good comment..
The paint brushes are good too. My husband used one to paint our back deck and it lasted the whole job and still was good at the end. I don't know if a better brush would be needed for indoor painting but $1.00 for a 3" brush vs $14.99 at the paint store (where we bought our stain) for a similar looking 3" brush was a deal.
For the candle: Boil hot water, poor it into the jar and let it set. It will rise to the top of the water and can be reused as a warmer pod!
Amanda Lancaster thanks 😊 I’m trying this 🙌🏾
I tried this three times with success and used the empty pretty jar for cotton wool balls, I tried it again last week with a lovely square glass candle jar, it smashed from the hot water👀👀
Jen It shattered because the jar was too cold, try warming it up next time that way there won’t be such a sudden temperature change.
I am very new I already love you by this video with the spoons I think you should use them for Easter when you color eggs and use the bending spoons to take them out
“You get what you paid for” is the best way to describe anything you buy from the dollar tree
And sometimes that can be a good thing!
True, especially when it comes to the hardware section. Using those tools to get rid of a body is such a chore.
@@Deuteromis its an even a harder chore getting rid of the tools when the "job" is done !
I loved all your rambling at the end 😂- I’m going to start telling crabby people that I hope they have the kind of day they deserve.
Also re: salted drinks.. I put salt directly in my margaritas! Annnnd You have me intrigued by salted coffees!
I stay stocked up on the Betty Crocker meat scissors. They r fantastic!! I use them as regular scissors too. Can't beat the price. Decorations, gift bags, cards, baskets, containers, small trash can liners...great value here. I stay away from the food. I've found too many expired foods still on the shelf. That's just a turn off. Thanks!!!
You’re doing great 👍🏻 videos are great! Don’t listen to the people that have negative comments.
I know someone may have already said this, but put your votive candle holder or any candle holder in the refrigerator or freezer (I use the freeze for about 2 hours) and the wax pops right out (open scissors work great). If you need help with a tough one, stab it with an open pair of scissors and twist and wax should pop right out, then use soap and water or Goo B Gone to get whatever is left behind.
OMG, why are people so nit-picky..? I love these types of videos, I make YT videos and it was hard in the beginning...anyway, I just found your channel and I love it. Don't try to please everyone or you will lose too much of your fun upbeat energy. 😎🤷♀️💜
Thanks for sharing, I will save money. Bend the spoons to make a flower 🌼 lol
I just was going to ask you to please turn on your caption’s too. I watch all times of day and night. Even when my husband’s asleep and I do not have my ear buds in reach. Thank you.
I tried their take on colored "Duct tape" and it started coming off the project. So kind of a fail. Also I stopped buying the face wipes since it wouldn't take off the makeup.
Regular baby wipes (from another store) works great
Never stop telling people you hope they have a great day! I try to tell them to have an awesome day. (Throws them off guard sometimes lol) You may be the only person who cared enough to say something nice to them all day...or sadly even all week or longer. Thanks for the great video! On my way to Dollar Tree shortly, so appreciate the heads up! :D
Late to the game but spill the tea on EACH aisle honey! Do your thing! Love the honesty!
In hardware, the paint rollers, paint brushes (to use once or twice), and tape measures are good. Some of the screwdrivers are decent too.
What to do with bent spoons? Make a "there is no spoon" reference from The Matrix?
Spoon rings?
Make a spider centerpiece or hanging mobile for Halloween! (The spoon parts all go together and the handles are the legs.) Glue a pom pom for the head and googly eyes. 😊
Make Christmas tree decorations with spoons ... hot glue greenery in the “bowl” of the spoon and put tiny dolls, trucks, cars, etc. drill hole in the handle to tie a red ribbon or silver cording to fit on tree limb. (If toddlers in the house, keep the decorations out of reach so small toys do not get put in little hands and mouths). You could also hang the forks and spoons on a tree outdoors.
Yes!!! My immediate thought! Neo! 🤣😂😅
Glue them to your kitchen cabinets to open the doors lol lol.
One thing: try the coffee in Trader Joe’s! Do t know how they do it, but it is always smooth and delicious
I mean, “have a fantastic day” is a blessing anyway, not an order. It’s not like you had said “have a fantastic day, or else!” 😂
I once bought the wire clippers from the craft section of Dollar Tree. When I went to clip some wire, said wire was left without a scratch, but the clippers had a dent the size and shape of the wire 🤦♀️🤦♀️. The clippers just completely gave way to the wire it was supposed to cut.
Same here .... you're way better off getting wire cutters some where else.
I always buy the earplugs for my cell phone and they all work great.. I stock up on them and I hand them out to who Ever might need a pair no complaints at all.. music sounds great
I love that you post videos on what not to get at the Dollar Tree.
Make captions available for your hard of hearing audience.
You have to be careful with off brand cables, my phone started over heating with one of those. Thank goodness I was right there.
Found out where my school gets silverware
Oop
I used to buy a liquid dishwasher detergent from DT years ago that worked GREAT!!! (Can’t remember the brand)...Last time I tried to pick some up, it was AWFUL! I thinm it was a different brand, they dont have the one I used to use. But I’m a huge fan of the Dollar Tree too and there are just some things that are great and other things that are not but I think that’s true with every store and everything no matter price. But even if as consumers we are only paying a dollar, it is SO helpful to have someone like you (I do it too with my beauty channel) to tell people what’s worth it and whats not. Sometimes I want to spend a dollar to find out and sometimes I don’t! Lol! So I found this very informative! I had never tried these products and now I know theyre not worth it for various reasons, thank you for sharing! 💖💖💖
In the tool section some are ok not top quality. The level is what comes to mind first. My Stanley tool brand was in storage after a move. I picked up a few things in the Dollar Tree Hardware section. The screwdrivers were also fine as extras for simple things. I’m not building a house or furniture, I’m just doing the simplest of things like hanging a picture or screwing legs back onto things since the move. You do get what you pay for but most things are fine. The saw.... careful, it’ll snap in half! In the Autocare section get those cleaning towels! Love them and use them, all the time!
The oil says MIX!! I honestly have learned even with spices, coffee, etc. they’re more than likely not the best ( oops!!) haha!! , of the best. Vitamins, supplements, my saving my own life has learned. Truly. Research. It’s best to find the best possible. The spoons, bird feeders?!!! 😃 You killed this!! There are some things that are good to buy, however!! 😊 You have the best of day!! This is out into the universe!! 💖
I like there coffee in a bag
Yes please do a vid on what foods you recommend buying at Dollar Tree.
Awww...love sleepy Miles at the beginning!
My faves are the Lime Away toilet bowl cleaner, the little round make up remover pads, greeting cards. I am not a crafter so I dont do the craft projects but enjoy watching videos about them.
I know it might be extra work, but if you put a coat of clear Elmers glue on your candle it should helpl control the drip and the burn from what I have on how to make dripless candles. As the cables for phone chargers you do have a point, but those cables have saved me when I was in a bind. I think that goes with the hardware there are things in there that will get someone one a budget to do simple things. One thing I think from the hardware area that should come with a warning label are their mock command hooks. I used them once and when removing them they take everything off they were attached to such paint or shelving paper. As for the oil if you go to other discount stores or check the prices you can get a 12-16oz bottle of olive oil for around $3-5. I rarely will spend over $7 for the size of bottle you paid $15 for. With silverware it does pay to shop around I myself am Leary of metals because they do collect in your body if they aren't what they say they are or if the underlying material is exposed. I recently bought a 20pc set from wal mart for $11.00. I think its great you're doing these videos, because you're doing a lot of leg work for us.
D fact that u have to explain "I hope u have....day", just shows the level of entitlement self obsessed people have these days. What happen to take what belongs to u n leave d rest...I cant.
ABSOLUTELY! It's like she swore at us and said some nasty thing! If you want to get angry about a kind offering then maybe keep it to yourself. Kallie obviously doesn't mean ANY harm.
The everyone gets a trophy generation happened
I love that quote. Take what belongs to you and leave the rest. That is what’s wrong with everyone. They don’t know how to filter out what is important for them and then only.
I never have had a problem with the candles also never have had a problem with the silverware mune never bend like that. I buy tones of stuff and everything you say not to and never had a problem
Sheila Bear You don’t have to defend all of the products she spoke of. She is just telling us/showing us what Her experience is with these items. She is giving an honest and mature assessment of some products. If you’re not having a problem with the silverware, then you are one in a million because they are pieces of crap that rust, pit and bend. Do your own video on a DT haul and we’ll see how many people agree with you.
@@riceflowershea8748 I don't think she was necessary defending the products just for the sake of defending them. I think it was more along the lines of saying those items are not always a bust, that sometimes they are worth buying and someone might have been interested in getting one of them but is worried it'll be a waste of time. I myself havnt had those problems with there votive candles I buy them alot and there silverware at my stores are always sturdy and havnt had issues with rust as if yet. Not all dollor tree's are the same and as well sometimes a product is good one place but not another. There have been times I got a product I regularly buy and for some reason occasionally the one I bought isn't up to standard. Idk I think sometimes its hit or miss. And she should be able to say whatever she wants in her comment as long as it isn't disrespectful or mean, that's what the comments are for.
California olive oil has an amazing flavor, definitely worth it.
In the hardware section the tool hangers are excellent. You get multiple for a dollar and they can hold heavy shovels, rakes, etc. They bend easily but only if youre trying to bend them. They support the weight of tools without bending and that is what is important.
I freeze the spoons and use them to reduce puffiness on my eyes. Not bad for a dollar.
Girl when you bent that spoon, I had to subscribe 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love your advice, but really love your little chat at the end of this vid!
For the bendable silverware, a floating tea cup is beautiful.
what is a floating tea cup?
The silverware can be good for parties so you look fancy and then you can just get rid of it and I use them for my little siblings bc they are harsh but they haven't bent
You can drill a hole in the handle part, and bend it for any kind of a hook, like for a towel in kitchen or bathroom or coat hook, then screw several in a board for anything you want to hang
