    My favorite hack is to use the ice cube trays to water my plants. I add about 4 ice cubes every 4 to 5 days to my plants and they water themselves. Lol

    • @chellagirl3664

      My freezer has a self defrost setting and the drain stopped working, so ice accumulates in the bottom. I pop it loose and use it on my plants.

    When my children were young, I used items from DT to create Are We There Yet packages for our trips. Besides the road map I printrd out for them, which was educational, I also filled brown paper bags with various treats, games, etc. Each bag was numbered to correspond with how many hours we had left on our trip. At each hour, they got to open the bag. They always had something to look forward to, and this made the trip fun for everyone.

      I did something very similar when my boys were young. My sister and I would travel together to our parents 16 hrs with her daughter and we would buy small toys, books or games to unwrap every hour while in the car. They each had their own bag to keep them in. We would rewrap them for the trip home.

      @mercy2198 We frequently took road trips. I made a binder for each child, and on the cover was a map showing our route. They learned to read road signs and estimate travel time, etc. I filled the binder with printable activity sheets that pertained to the trip (mazes, word searches, coloring pages, etc.) To this day, our adult sons travel with us and look forward to whatever road trip fun Mama has planned! 😉 It's not the destination; it's the journey.

  • @jennwilson5912

    My favorite hack is using a refillable wand dish scrubber and fill it with 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 dish soap to use in the bathroom shower and sink to scrub and clean the grime away.

    • @voguevania
      @voguevania 9 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      I do that for my sinks, but I haven't done it for the shower yet. Recently I bought a few clear pitchers from the catering aisle, to store each wand. They look much nicer than the random Mason jars and coffee creamer containers I had been using for the purpose, and they have handles!
      I just came up with another "hack": the pitchers would probably work really well with the little toilet brush set, for those who want to store the brush in disinfectant! I never tried storing in disinfectant, because I thought that the wire bristle connectors might rust, but a little WD-40, or similar, might prevent it!
      I'm going to repost that one in the main discussion!
      I hope you're having a great morning!

  • @ruthuhlenhake9709

    Best hack is to use phone holder knob anywhere you need a hanger . They hold really well . I use them in shower to hold cleansing puffs. Love all your hacks!

    My favorite isn't actually a hack - but quite a money saver: My grown sons often go first to the fridge when they come to our house, looking for something to eat. My youngest (adult) son looks for something he can take to work for his supper (he works evening shift). My "good" plastic storage dishes are off limits, so I buy the small plastic containers and put a portion of leftovers in them. Jake gets a ready-made meal & I don't have to hound him about bringing back the containers.

      I am a nurse and work 12 hour shifts. On one of my days off I make meals with leftovers and package them into individual meals. This way my boyfriend has a home cooked meal and I do too when I’m at work.

  • @user-ok9fs3hi7l

    Great hacks! Our neighbors like to talk over our chain link fence that was installed upside down years before we bought our house, so we put pool noodles on the top so they can lean on it and not get poked by the fence.

  • @dkennedy-hz7xr

    My favorite summertime hack is to take my leftover brewed coffee and put into ice cubes trays and freeze for making ice coffee. When they melt they don’t water down the coffee. Now that dollar tree carries the silicone iced cube trays those work awesome for this.

    You can often find wall sconces at thrift stores. I bought 2 iron ones for $5, hung them on the brick wall on my patio and topped them with Dollar Tree solar lights. That's my favorite hack!

    My favorite dollar tree hack: so we had a really bad wind storm a few months back that ripped the canvas right off of our gazebo 😢. We haven’t gotten around to replacing it. So I thought in the meantime I can use it to hang some old nasty vinyl blinds that we were going to replace and clean them. I used some zip ties from the. Dollar tree to attack the blinds to the bar on the gazebo. Then used some all purpose cleaner (also from the dollar tree) and the car wash mitt thingy, also from the DT to wipe it down. Then used the hose to rinse them off. Then just let them hang to try. This cleaned them so well that we didn’t have to replace them. I was able to do 4 at once using the gazebo. I think you could use the over the door hooks and hang them on the fence to. Note- we don’t typically let our blinds get so dirty, but we recently bought the house and the dirty blinds came with the house. Regular cleaning and dusting wasn’t cutting it so we were saving up to replace them. This worked so well, we can hold off and put that money elsewhere. 😊

  • @tracymorris5697
    @tracymorris5697 12 วันที่ผ่านมา +15

    I have two small silicone ice cube trays that are small pineapples. Each pineapple holds 1 tbsp, I measured to be sure. I will buy a bag of lemons and limes, squeeze the juice out and fill the trays until frozen, pop them into a ziplock bag and repeat until all the juice is used. I do keep them separated, mark the bag with name and date. Most recipes call for tbsp measurements so you can pop them into your recipe. They are small and melt quickly😁❤️

    I like the idea of using coffee filters instead of plates. So much less trash and so much cheaper. Win win!!

    • @arabianknights7391
      @arabianknights7391 8 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I like it too. I have an abundance of the cheapo ones that unfortunately don't fit well in my coffee maker. They flop around and are not as crisp as the more expensive Melitta filters. So now I am using Melitta for coffee and the leftover cheapos for substitute napkins, plates and the like.

    • @joanies6778
      @joanies6778 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I love that idea, too, but I throw mine into the compost bins, whereas I personally would not throw a coated paper plate in.

    @heatherfrank3367 13 วันที่ผ่านมา +33

    I’m still watching but my favorite dollar tree hack I’ve tried recently is for travel with my littles!
    Grab a cookie sheet. Magnetic tiles or letters or even just magnets are great entertainment! Add a magnetic clip to it, hold a coloring page - add colors with a magnet on the box and poof! It’s all contained!

  • @vickytaylor4297
    @vickytaylor4297 12 วันที่ผ่านมา +14

    I love using Dollar Tree pool noodles to make swags for weddings and showers. The noodle is just as easy to stick florals in as Styrofoam and is way less messy. I use DT zip ties to secure my greenery vines and add my florals afterward. People always ask who the florist is that made them. When they are told I made them, they always come to me, and I give them my secret hack. 😉
    I love all your diys and hacks. Keep them coming.

  • @ingridb7381

    I buy doggie poop bags at dollar tree and keep them in the car or camper. they are good to wrap up used diapers and menstrual pads when you throw them into the garbage. It keeps those items contained and private in the garbage.

    • @katmomma68
      @katmomma68 11 วันที่ผ่านมา +14

      I foster abandoned/orphaned kittens and I use the ice cube trays to freeze pedialyte. The bottle of pedialyte only has a 48 hour shelf life after it's been open and the kittens can't consume that much pedialyte in 48 hours so after I open the bottle and use it for one day I take the rest and pour it into the ice cube trays and freeze. Once they are solid I pop them out of the tray and store in a ziploc bag and when I need a couple of cubes for their formula, I take them out a couple hours before I'm going to make their formula and let them meltdown at room temperature. Another hack I do using Dollar tree doggy poop bags is I use them to put the waste from the litterbox in. In Massachusetts plastic shopping bags are banned in 98% of the cities/ towns so I can no longer use them for cleaning the litterbox but I found the doggie poop bags work just as well and I don't need to worry about any pesky holes in the plastic shopping bags

    • @darlalei4303
      @darlalei4303 9 วันที่ผ่านมา +4

      I use them too for a variety of things. But my #1 is litter box cleaning (daily), especially since the garbage man comes once a week. 😉

    I am a sewer. I use the DT baby hair ties to put over my bobbins. This way the thread doesn't unwind and make a mess. I even try to coordinate the color with the color thread. Yellow hair tie with yellow threaded bobbin, etc.

    My DT hack for sending food home after a party is to let them fill aluminum pie plates with their favs then slide those plates into gal sized ziplock bags. No worries of spilled food in their car. My fav hacks from you today is the coffee filter and the frozen aloe. Oh, and the BLT dip!

    I don’t really have DT hacks, but for Easter this year I took my grandkids to DT and told them to pick any one item of each color in the rainbow. So each of them got a red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple item! They got toys, candy, drinks, chips, flip flops, desk accessories, coloring books, craft kits, etc! We took pictures of them holding up each of their colored items, they had so much fun doing it too! FYI I have 8 grands ages 3-11, moms assisted 😉

      Because of plastics and foam breaking down and getting in our soli, I now fill the bottom of my pots with pine cones. They condense together with the weight of the soil, so use more than you think you need. If you aren’t worried about the plastic, fill your pots with water bottles, used plastic cups etc which saves you the expense of buying pool noodles.

    One of my favorite Dollar Tree hacks is using those storage bags they have near the cleaning section (they come in medium, large and x--large). I use the x-large size to keep my seasonal wreaths dust and bug free and store them in my shed or attic until the next holiday. They can also be hung up since they have a section at the top for hanging.

    My favorite Dollar Tree hack is using solo cups to up-pot tomato seedlings. I take one cup and burn 3-4 regular drainage holes in the bottom, and burn lots of tiny holes in the lower inch on the sides for air pruning. I put my soil in half the cup and plant my tomato seedling. I put the cup with drainage inside another solid cup. This way, the excess water drains in the lower cup, or I can put water in the lower cup to water the seedling from bottom up.
    As the seedling grows taller, I just add more soil so roots can grow along the stem. This year, I had the healthiest and most stocky tomato plants before transplanting using this method. The double cup method also prevents fungus gnats from getting into the roots and laying eggs because it's completely covered by the 2nd cup!

    My favorite office hack is: take DT butter dish, turn upside down, fill the lid with my extra staples then put the butter plate on top ( the side that the butter goes on is upwards) then place my stapler on the top butter plate. It frees up space in my desk. since most office desk are small cubicles, you don’t have a lot of draw space so I have also used the butter dishes to organize my desk draws; rubber band, pens, highlighters, push pins etc.

    My favorite hack at Dollar tree is birthday gift "grab bags" Not only are the cards, bags and tissue paper excellent at dollar tree, but they have enough variety to make a whole bag full of different, fun things that you can personalize for anyone and any age. It comes out to an extremely affordable gift, and the person receiving it is always surprised and enjoys pulling out each item, not knowing what to expect. I had a friend of my son's tell me, years later, that my grab bag gift was her favorite at her party long ago, and she still uses a lot of the stuff i put in it. 😊
