In suburban areas the “cheapest” thing they do is Target. So that means fuller stocked shelves and availability. Tho what I’ve noticed is the party favors n items are most popular in these communities at DT n DG. They most be doing something right if their stock shares together are larger then Walmart & Target combined!
When I’m planting seeds inside to go out to the garden I use the little shot glasses as a terrarium top until the seed sprouts. The seeds get the humidity and light they need and I don’t have to worry about the soil drying out.
Hello Katherine. We use the mini snap containers for small FIRST AID KITS for the homeless. My friend made about 50 of them and donated them to my ministry. The kit included band-aids, alcohol wipes, gauze, and she cut and filled straws with antibiotic ointment and melted the edges with a lighter to close. Our outdoor friends LOVED them. God bless you! Lynne🍃💜🍃
🍃💐🍃💐🍃💐🍃 Hi Josilinia. Thank you for your message. I appreciate you reaching out. I'm glad you love the idea. If you plan to share with people who are homeless and on the streets... the container is a perfect size to tuck under your car seat or in your glove box... so when you see someone in need on the streets you can hand them a granola bar, water bottle and first aid kit. It's also a great gift for your entire family and friends for Christmas or a get-to-gether. They will appreciate a mini first aid kit in their back packs for school, camping, hiking or baby bag. Even though we are prepared for a minor accident, let's pray noone needs it. Amen. God bless you. Lynne🍃💜🍃 One more thing, your name is beautiful. I never heard it before.⚘

I used the plastic snap containers for a lot of things. I use them inside games to store all the cards and pieces, decks of cards, dice. I use them in my desk to hold thumb drives and memory cards. I made a cleaning kit for my daughter to carry a cloth and small bottle of glasses cleaner to throw in her bookbag. She has another one with her adapters and power cable for her tablet for school. I have one with clippers, a nail file, hair tie and sometimes jewelry on my nightstand. (Anything tiny that I use or remove right before bed that the cat steals while I sleep) I have a few empty ones ready to hold pieces whenever I get around to opening my diamond dot kit. At work I have sugar for coffee in one, flash drives in another and most used screwdriver bits in another. I almost forgot the ones I have in my bathroom for travel with cotton balls, qtips, floss picks and bandaids. I also have one with matches with the camping gear to keep them dry.
@Amy B...you said " (Anything tiny that I use or remove right before bed that the cat steals while I sleep)". That's funny because our Cali cat steals my hair ties from the bedside every time I put one there, LOL.

I've never heard anyone mention the 2 GALLON plastic zipper bags from Dollar Tree. They're in the kitchen section- I love them!! I use them not just in the kitchen but all over the house to store shoes, purses, scarves, sewing accessories, all sorts of things. They're great!
I use the two gallon bags tons. I use them for scrapbook projects. I can put papers, photos and embellishments in their own project bags and take with to a crop.
Those door alarms were a lifesaver for us! I have a son who's severely Autistic and when he was a few years old he was always running out the door rain, snow, sleet or shine those alarms helped us out alot! I even had to put them on his window because he would open his window and throw out his toys and since he was in the second floor I was afraid of him trying to jump out! 😬Again those alarms were a blessing!

I take the screen cover with the handle. Keep screen in and decorate like a wreath. Hot glue, floral, ribbon and a small sign or stuffed animal, a decoration of some sort in the middle. Make it your own.
I put the whole splatter screen, knob down, in the bottom of our larger plant pots supported by 4 to 6 tile pieces. I want an air barrier in the bottom. Even though they have drain holes, the splatter screen stops fine soil from running out and prevents against the 2" packed layer that plants will develop over time. That layer never drains keeping the roots in a swampy mess. But not with a slater screen!
Instead of buying expensive holiday/seasonal bathroom hand towels for my guest bath, I started buying the seasonal kitchen towels like the cute beachy starfish ones now at Dollar Tree. Work just as well and I can change things up inexpensively.

Just wanted to bring up that what’s at the dollar tree near you really depends on the socioeconomic level of the area. Low income area Dollar Stores do not have the same quality stuff as the stores in mid/high income areas. Would love to see some videos like this at a Dollar Tree in a low income area. Money saving hacks mean even more to those communities 😊
I'm in a low income area in an inner-city and it's not as though they do not have these things, but rather, that they hire people who couldn't give a ❤️ and it's all piled in massive heaps while the cashiers just sit there doing nothing other than complaining. The only thing people seemed to buy there was the cheap, crappy food. Went way out in the county and was blown away by the really cool stuff they had! Thankfully now that I have a car, I have this as an option, but as to the community, no, for the most part videos like these are on a different planet of priorities.
@@juliafox52 The owner of the DT you visited in the city should be visiting the one in the country to see how a DT should be run. And they wonder why sales are lagging and there are no customers.
Tip: Goodwill stores operate the opposite way. Good quality donations get sent to the poorer areas, so the folks there have a chance to buy good stuff.
Nope, not necessarily true that crappy DT stores are in low socioeconomic areas. I live in Roanoke TX, where the median household income is $100,888 per the 2020 census, and the Roanoke DT store is messy and poorly stocked.
We got one of those super small containers with the snappable lid. We put our bar soap in it for our trailer. No mess and it can live in the container!
Glad I read down to this comment because I was about to say the exact same thing….my mother in law has a camper in their back yard just so their guests and family have a place to stay when they (we) visit…..so each of us have our own containers we just bring our soap that way no one is using others soap (cause that’s gross lol) but also she wouldn’t want soap in their getting rank if she doesn’t have visitors for a while….she has each one of the kids their own little box she keeps in her house and she goes to the camper and decorated it depending on who is coming to stay and leave our little box right there so as soon as we get their we can unpack (it’s also how she keeps track of the special little decor for each family’s style)….she is pretty great!!! Also since our drive is so long (we are the ones that are 14 hrs away-everyone else is three hours max) so we use them as little dog food snacks and once they finish their snack they drink water from them (another hack for thirsty pups on the road is they love to drink water out of the spray bottles lol so we have those in the car too)
My wife is an assistant manager at our local Dollar Tree. The moment they got all that beach stuff in she came home with one of everything, it seemed. She has plans for our living room. LOL! I am so glad I found your channel! I am a subscriber now. Keep up that great tips!
The little plastic cups work great for BBQ's!! Put them by the veggie tray with ranch or other dressing. Keeps the mess to a minimum. You can also add the veggies to the cups after you put the dressing or dip in them. Even less mess!
This is a great idea for dinner in general .. Have some French fries & want some vinegar? But, don't want your fries soaked? Use one of those cups.. Or a blue cheese cup? Brilliant thanks 👍🏻❤️
We used to do this for crudites at wedding banquets. They would slice the veg and put them in a little cup of ranch. It worked great. People could just lick up a little cup and be on their way.
I absolutely love this young lady enthusiasm. We don't have Dollar Tree in Mexico but I like to watch this 'cause I have a lot to learn about this girl kindness. ❤️🌷🇲🇽
There is nothing more perfect than a Do it on a dime Kathryn video. I don't know how you do it Kathryn, but I love coming to your corner of the internet to enjoy your videos. They bring me so much joy and positivity.
#5 I use the clear drawer pieces on a wooden rack over my kitchen sink. They hold my dish soap and hand soap dispensers. Perfect size and protects the wood from water/soap drips.
I use those lid lock containers on day trips to the coast for portion controlling snacks while I drive. I've eaten a whole bag of chips one way out before and it's not the best for me so I do carrots and celery and cucumber now in those smaller containers
I love your content. So high energy and creative but most importantly you get straight to the point. Too many TH-camrs really love the sound of their own voice 😂.
The $Trees in my area are lousy......Get disgusted everytime that I go to them..NEVER HAVE WHAT I SEE ON THE DIFFERENT "$TREE clips.Every crafter on You-Tube has a marvelous things to choose from ...my $ Tree just usually has junk....Never any craft items seen here and on different craft shows....It is SO disappointing to get these awesome ideas and not to be able to find these items to use to make these awesome crafts ......And have talked to the employee's and am told that the stores in my area get THIER stock from different warehouses ...just seems so stupid to me ....,but will continue to watch and just jot down the ideas to use When or If my local $ Tree's get on board .. ! Keep on giving ideas ,though !!!!!Enjoy very much !!!!😊
I love the spatter screens. I recently started using then in my round dehydrator. I removed the screens from the rings & the knobs. The screens fit in my trays perfectly & I can dehydrate anything regardless of the size.
The book section at the Dollar Tree is always a treasure trove, definitely. Especially as prices are going up, you can find so many books here, especially if you have kids, and/ or you want kid's books, colouring books, activity books, Bible books, a lot of BOOKS!! Book section, do not overlook it!!
I spotted Carbona in my $1.25 🌳 & bought 3 of them. My mom used it in our laundry when I was a girl (I'm 58 y.o.). I remember it being a product that always delivered as promised .
Katherine! Thank you so much for crediting my idea 😭. You have been such a huge inspiration on my DIY journey. It’s an honor to have been featured. I love you and your channel! ❤️😭
I love your video's. I was shook with the idea of using the clear drawers as wall storage for the brushes - it would be perfect in the kitchen cabinets for seasoning packets or the flavor packets for water :) TFS
Great tips! I use the pop lock container for my avocado halves 🥑 it’s perfect, keeps the open Avo fresh, and wayyy cheaper than the avocado storage they charge $8+ for at other places 💚
Another gr8 Dollar Tree video Katherine.... as ALWAYS!!! 😉 However I found in this video that the most comforting & compassionately connected part was when you showed the clip of dropping & breaking an item in the store! You could gave edited it out,, but you didn't! And Thank You for that!! Let's be honest, I think just about every single one of us has dropped & broke something in a store. Which we then become embarrassed & shamed, even tho it was completely an accident. We didn't deliberately throw it down to break it & draw unwanted attention & judgement from others to be placed upon us. Nor to have immediate urges & panic to flood over us making pleas to pay for it (or clean it it up) or feeling that we should offer to. Only to be followed by overwhelming sorrow & agony sets in as we see an employee have to stop what they're doing to clean up your mess. Once more leaving us to feel as if we should the one cleaning up the mess we.... again.. "accidentally" made. (Poor Charlie handled it like a champ as tho it seemed! Again! Lol!!😉 My point being You are a person of admiration & inspiration for oh soooooo sooo many of us out here! It's because of those amazing qualities & characteristics, that you radiate a genuine kindness & peacefulness leaving an impression of perfection or gentleness or at the very least, probably someone who things like that would be less likely happen to. Which is silly of any of us to think, I know. We forget you're a normal human being just like the rest of us. You're not "perfect". Nor are you immune to the feelings of shame, embarrassment, guilt, or regret. So as much as you are loved, adored, admired, or depended upon by all of us out here, Thank You again for keeping it real & for the reality check! Cuz we're all just the same & in this together & there ain't a one of us better than another!😊😉 Much Love Chic!!!!!!!!! ✌💖😊
I love their decorative gift boxes. I line them with wax paper and fill them with my homemade fudge or cookies and give them to friends and coworkers. When the goodies are eaten....the receiver can reuse the decorative boxes for regifting or whatever. I love that those adorable gift boxes come decorated for various holidays. I stock up on the holiday ones in case I have a last minute gift of fudge or cookies is needed.
That’s the first tip for t.p. cores I’ve seen that’s legit! I will definitely use it. Thanks for being human and not caring that you might look silly or stupid. ❤️
Love this! You’re right, #7 was amazing!! I am absolutely trying this hack! My curtains look so pathetic right now so I’m saving TP rolls!! Thx Kathryn!!
Also anchor the first eyelet the one closer to the outer side of rod and put that one so it stays put and catches when you run your curtains it stays beautifully in place
Ove always wanted to do a Nautical theme for the bathroom. We've started on painting but still have a long way to go. Love your enthusiasm and projects.
We have one. A lot of keepsakes from our beach trips but definitely hang up things we've found at Dollartree or FamilyDollar. It's been fun putting it together! You'll love yours once you start! We did it all ourselves so the only real expense was the beautiful shower curtain! Enjoy❤
Love the toilet paper roll idea and the little snap close boxed to store cards, crayons, etc. We have a deck of cards in ours-- you're right-- it fits perfectly!
Snap lid container is good for stuff you might put in a ziploc bag but it makes it more visible and easier to find. I put my individual healthy drink packets in it and it's much easier to find in my bag than a ziploc
Dollar Tree just moved their store within walking distance of my home so I am loving your videos even more! Especially like that mouthwash idea since I have so much trouble opening the bottle every time I need to use it. Keep the Dollar Tree videos coming!
I absolutely love your channel!!! And the way you end each one is so sweet….todays world there aren’t enough of people telling people they are worth anything so I applaud you for making that the last of your videos….I also follow a fellow tumbler maker who does the same thing and I love it….(I am chronically sick-AKA a spoonie and the only time I am allowed to leave my home is for doctors, test, treatments and infusions) so sometimes on bad days I watch your videos just to feel normal and hear then ending! Thank you!!
That was Great! 😜 I Loved all your hacks but you being you is the best part of these videos. You have the most positive upbeat personality and it is contagious! Thank you so much Kathryn!! Love You!!!
Haha, that's awesome! I work at a barn taking care of horses, and the splatter screen with the handle is the most GENIUS water trough skimmer, the mesh is smaller than a normal colander, so it gets all the pollen, saliva skim, plus the debris that falls in, for a dollar those things save SO MUCH water, I just thought about it one day, because I LOVE Dollar Tree and like to find creative uses for cheap stuff anyway, haha! Everyone at the barn was blown away, it's so simple but it works so well, haha! And for a buck, if I have to replace it every week, it's still worth the water we save!
I have that little security thingy on my door and man, that little sucker does the job!! And very very loud. Good for keeping kids in (and it's also good if you have a family member with alzheimers who gets mixed up going to the bathroom at 4am. My neighbor had it and wandered down the road looking for her bathroom. Her sister didn't even know she opened the front door. So this came in handy.)
Just happened onto your channel and really enjoy it! Surely wish there were neat, organized and clean Dollar Tree stores in my area! I'm always amazed that they apparently exist! Thank you for your channel!
I have 5 herniated discs + my nearest Dollar Tree is 35 miles away, so videos like these really help me decide if I need to make the trip. Thank you! My daughters are teenagers, so we 'need' a lot of these goodies. P.S. ~ I love your outfit!!! :)
Gosh, that egg separating idea is so cool! I was considering buying a tool, but don’t want more gadgets. I love the idea of using that I already have! Thank you ever so much
The idea of hot gluing a small beach sign on a larger piece of wood is genius! And I love what you did with the splatter guard and candle and flowers! That was really beautiful.
One day when I grow up I ll do DIY projects, until then I ll keep watching you😁. As always thank you for the great content & positivity you bring every single time.
I have a whole bunch of those Snap-on cover containers that we used when we were making some natural beauty stuff for Christmas gifts. I'm so excited you showed them for decks of cards. They could be used for card games for children and they would keep them together better
I never thought of using a clean soap dispenser for mouthwash! Genius!! Also the candle with coffee beans, gotta try that! Love your videos…please keep them coming! 😀
I’m a world away in South Africa but still love your content! Just please label the mouthwash dispenser to differentiate it from other liquids - safety first!
We have hundreds of those little lock it tops! My daughter has a jewelry making business and she uses them for all her beads and clasps. They’re perfect!
I have some of those lock tops (#4). I have push pins, rubber bands, small fasteners and paper clips in them. They really work well with those little office supplies that can be a pain if spilled or lost easily.
That candle breakage footage was great! Who hasn't broken something in a store? So glad in my case, it's been very inexpensive items (maybe that's why I don't take my clumsy self to high end stores!) lol
IS it depression? If so... I struggle with it too. Sometimes I just pretend that the waves of depression are just that... WAVES... I have to ride them out... YOU GOT THIS!!! ❤
@@kimberlyallen4620 Sitcoms are usrally funny tho!! 😁 What I hate MOST abt depression is that when it hits sometimes you have NO IDEA WHY...?!?! It drives me nuts... I do take medication for my depression however I still have to ride the waves sometimes... Saturday was a bit rough for me... But it's ok... I got thru it... Sometimes I have to just get up and be active EVEN IF IT SUXS!! I really hope you get throught today calmly... it's hard... Ur absolutely not alone!!!

@@martinemikita9281 I like this analogy-thanks for sharing.
Everytime I hear her say "you are enough"... I tear up. Not sure if it's perimenopause, PMS or just the state of things in this world. Either way... it's a great reminder that we ALL are enough! ❤
Thank you Kathryn, you are the best, other than your content that's easy to try,, your phrase at the end "You are enough" makes my day better. You are so encouraging and uplifting. ❤ This is more than just crafting it's a form of ministry. Thank you again
Oh no-the candle! We’ve all been there. I LOVE these ideas!! Can’t wait to try the clear organizer one as a holder for things-going to use this for hair items in my bathroom!
2:41 You just gave me an idea for the splatter rings. I've been looking for slightly bigger hoops to create a macrame bed for a chubby kitty (lol), and I think the size of those rings just might work for her. I would have never thought to take out the insides of something like that, so that opens up other possibilities, too. 🤠 1:06 Those small lockit containers are great for keeping surprisingly dangerous toothpicks from spilling out in a drawer and getting a finger stabbed with a hidden one later! Toothpicks are evil! Lol 🤠
Switch to floss instead of toothpicks. Floss is better and safer for your teeth and gums plus, if you get the unflavored floss, you can use it to cut heavy or fragile cakes by holding it across the cake and pushing down.👍🏻
@@MPurpleshark33 I never knew that! I always struggle cutting the first piece of birthday cake each year for my family. I'm definitely going to try this!
I have never seen a Dollar Tree as well stocked, clean, and loaded with cool,stuff like your DT…

Me either. It's almost like they selected a store for this person to promote. Real life dollar stores aren't this nice.
Me too. The Dollar Tree where I live is always messy with stuff every where. That’s why I stopped going
Yep. The one near me is a pathetic mess whenever I go there.
No joke. You should see the dollar trees around here. Yikes..
When I’m planting seeds inside to go out to the garden I use the little shot glasses as a terrarium top until the seed sprouts. The seeds get the humidity and light they need and I don’t have to worry about the soil drying out.

The clear containers are also great for storing batteries you can see. AA, AAA and 9V. And they stack perfectly.
I store my batteries in the refrigerator (live in a hot climate).

Omg! The shot glass and soap dispenser for Listerine. That is genius for guests. I'm doing that for my guest bathroom.❤️
I don’t even use mouthwash, and I still want to do this! 😂
I'm doing this one too!!
I've used the salad dressing dispensers for my mouthwash with little Dixie cups, but I love this idea for a guest bath!
Just looked like a lot of pumping for little liquid
I am going to grab one today for my kids' bathroom. We have mouthwash spills all the time.
Just wanted to bring up that what’s at the dollar tree near you really depends on the socioeconomic level of the area. Low income area Dollar Stores do not have the same quality stuff as the stores in mid/high income areas. Would love to see some videos like this at a Dollar Tree in a low income area. Money saving hacks mean even more to those communities 😊
I'm in a low income area and ALL of the items shown are at the dollar tree I shop at
I'm in a low income area in an inner-city and it's not as though they do not have these things, but rather, that they hire people who couldn't give a ❤️ and it's all piled in massive heaps while the cashiers just sit there doing nothing other than complaining. The only thing people seemed to buy there was the cheap, crappy food. Went way out in the county and was blown away by the really cool stuff they had! Thankfully now that I have a car, I have this as an option, but as to the community, no, for the most part videos like these are on a different planet of priorities.
@@juliafox52 The owner of the DT you visited in the city should be visiting the one in the country to see how a DT should be run. And they wonder why sales are lagging and there are no customers.
Tip: Goodwill stores operate the opposite way. Good quality donations get sent to the poorer areas, so the folks there have a chance to buy good stuff.
Nope, not necessarily true that crappy DT stores are in low socioeconomic areas. I live in Roanoke TX, where the median household income is $100,888 per the 2020 census, and the Roanoke DT store is messy and poorly stocked.
We got one of those super small containers with the snappable lid. We put our bar soap in it for our trailer. No mess and it can live in the container!
Thanks for this idea 💡. Love it !!!
Glad I read down to this comment because I was about to say the exact same thing….my mother in law has a camper in their back yard just so their guests and family have a place to stay when they (we) visit…..so each of us have our own containers we just bring our soap that way no one is using others soap (cause that’s gross lol) but also she wouldn’t want soap in their getting rank if she doesn’t have visitors for a while….she has each one of the kids their own little box she keeps in her house and she goes to the camper and decorated it depending on who is coming to stay and leave our little box right there so as soon as we get their we can unpack (it’s also how she keeps track of the special little decor for each family’s style)….she is pretty great!!! Also since our drive is so long (we are the ones that are 14 hrs away-everyone else is three hours max) so we use them as little dog food snacks and once they finish their snack they drink water from them (another hack for thirsty pups on the road is they love to drink water out of the spray bottles lol so we have those in the car too)
Make sure to put a thin sponge or cloth under the bar to keep it from sitting in leftover liquid and/or rattling around if it's in a bag.
My wife is an assistant manager at our local Dollar Tree. The moment they got all that beach stuff in she came home with one of everything, it seemed. She has plans for our living room. LOL! I am so glad I found your channel! I am a subscriber now. Keep up that great tips!
The little plastic cups work great for BBQ's!! Put them by the veggie tray with ranch or other dressing. Keeps the mess to a minimum. You can also add the veggies to the cups after you put the dressing or dip in them. Even less mess!
This is a great idea for dinner in general .. Have some French fries & want some vinegar? But, don't want your fries soaked? Use one of those cups.. Or a blue cheese cup? Brilliant thanks 👍🏻❤️
Genius!! Using your tip! Thanks!!
Thank you for this tip. This will be great for get togethers.
We used to do this for crudites at wedding banquets. They would slice the veg and put them in a little cup of ranch. It worked great. People could just lick up a little cup and be on their way.
I absolutely love this young lady enthusiasm. We don't have Dollar Tree in Mexico but I like to watch this 'cause I have a lot to learn about this girl kindness. ❤️🌷🇲🇽
There is nothing more perfect than a Do it on a dime Kathryn video. I don't know how you do it Kathryn, but I love coming to your corner of the internet to enjoy your videos. They bring me so much joy and positivity.
#5 I use the clear drawer pieces on a wooden rack over my kitchen sink. They hold my dish soap and hand soap dispensers. Perfect size and protects the wood from water/soap drips.
I use those lid lock containers on day trips to the coast for portion controlling snacks while I drive. I've eaten a whole bag of chips one way out before and it's not the best for me so I do carrots and celery and cucumber now in those smaller containers
I love your content. So high energy and creative but most importantly you get straight to the point. Too many TH-camrs really love the sound of their own voice 😂.
I have never seen a Dollar Tree store stocked as well as the one you are showing today. Lucky you! Thanks for the tips!
@don summer, agreed! Any of the DT's I go to aren't stocked that good either... even on unpacking day. :(
Hell yeah!
I keep thinking I should move to wherever Katherine lives just so I can have a decent dollar tree nearby!
Lol
Me either.
The $Trees in my area are lousy......Get disgusted everytime that I go to them..NEVER HAVE WHAT I SEE ON THE DIFFERENT "$TREE clips.Every crafter on You-Tube has a marvelous things to choose from ...my $ Tree just usually has junk....Never any craft items seen here and on different craft shows....It is SO disappointing to get these awesome ideas and not to be able to find these items to use to make these awesome crafts ......And have talked to the employee's and am told that the stores in my area get THIER stock from different warehouses ...just seems so stupid to me ....,but will continue to watch and just jot down the ideas to use When or If my local $ Tree's get on board .. ! Keep on giving ideas ,though !!!!!Enjoy very much !!!!😊
I love the spatter screens. I recently started using then in my round dehydrator. I removed the screens from the rings & the knobs. The screens fit in my trays perfectly & I can dehydrate anything regardless of the size.
Thank you! Can't wait to try this
How do you get these screens out?
I need to do this lol
Great idea!
Great idea!
I love her way to say and style...all she can do is gives a positive motivation with talent to shop and save....love her...God bless her🙏
The mouthwash idea is fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing your energy and creativity.
How could anyone not like you!? Your voice alone is so calming! Thanks for always bringing us such positive vibes along with your inviting content!
The book section at the Dollar Tree is always a treasure trove, definitely. Especially as prices are going up, you can find so many books here, especially if you have kids, and/ or you want kid's books, colouring books, activity books, Bible books, a lot of BOOKS!!
Book section, do not overlook it!!
I spotted Carbona in my $1.25 🌳 & bought 3 of them. My mom used it in our laundry when I was a girl
(I'm 58 y.o.). I remember it being a product that always delivered as promised .
What is it used f😢r
Katherine! Thank you so much for crediting my idea 😭. You have been such a huge inspiration on my DIY journey. It’s an honor to have been featured. I love you and your channel! ❤️😭
I love your video's. I was shook with the idea of using the clear drawers as wall storage for the brushes - it would be perfect in the kitchen cabinets for seasoning packets or the flavor packets for water :) TFS
Glad you're here!
Using the command strips you could also use them as drawers as intended but underneath cabinets or desktops!
Great idea!
Omg thank you. I’m getting some for cabinets as well
I love this idea!.. now what do we do with the drawers
Great tips! I use the pop lock container for my avocado halves 🥑 it’s perfect, keeps the open Avo fresh, and wayyy cheaper than the avocado storage they charge $8+ for at other places 💚
OMG....genius 🥑 thanks!!!!!
I use mine as a butter dish
I have one of those weird avocado storage things and my avocados still turn brown. Does the snap container keep it green?
@@sherimowery3251 yes! Very, and I was surprised. Just used it yesterday
Another gr8 Dollar Tree video Katherine.... as ALWAYS!!! 😉 However I found in this video that the most comforting & compassionately connected part was when you showed the clip of dropping & breaking an item in the store! You could gave edited it out,, but you didn't! And Thank You for that!! Let's be honest, I think just about every single one of us has dropped & broke something in a store. Which we then become embarrassed & shamed, even tho it was completely an accident. We didn't deliberately throw it down to break it & draw unwanted attention & judgement from others to be placed upon us. Nor to have immediate urges & panic to flood over us making pleas to pay for it (or clean it it up) or feeling that we should offer to. Only to be followed by overwhelming sorrow & agony sets in as we see an employee have to stop what they're doing to clean up your mess. Once more leaving us to feel as if we should the one cleaning up the mess we.... again.. "accidentally" made. (Poor Charlie handled it like a champ as tho it seemed! Again! Lol!!😉 My point being You are a person of admiration & inspiration for oh soooooo sooo many of us out here! It's because of those amazing qualities & characteristics, that you radiate a genuine kindness & peacefulness leaving an impression of perfection or gentleness or at the very least, probably someone who things like that would be less likely happen to. Which is silly of any of us to think, I know. We forget you're a normal human being just like the rest of us. You're not "perfect". Nor are you immune to the feelings of shame, embarrassment, guilt, or regret. So as much as you are loved, adored, admired, or depended upon by all of us out here, Thank You again for keeping it real & for the reality check! Cuz we're all just the same & in this together & there ain't a one of us better than another!😊😉 Much Love Chic!!!!!!!!! ✌💖😊
I love their decorative gift boxes. I line them with wax paper and fill them with my homemade fudge or cookies and give them to friends and coworkers. When the goodies are eaten....the receiver can reuse the decorative boxes for regifting or whatever.
I love that those adorable gift boxes come decorated for various holidays. I stock up on the holiday ones in case I have a last minute gift of fudge or cookies is needed.
How does Kathryn look younger than she did before when she broke the candle!? Thanks for your kindness and hacks!
Someone else loosened the lid to the candle before she got there. That's how it fell. Not her fault!
Nancy, I think you read her comment wrong. She complimented Katherine because she thought Katherine looked younger these days.
God bless you.
Lynne🍃💜🍃
@@lynnecarnivale6414 I understood that. I was just letting her know that she may not be responsible for damaging the candle
@@nancyomalley6286 Hi Nancy. Ok, thanks.
I hope you enjoy the weekend.
God bless you.
Lynne🍃💜🍃
Gorgeous! 🥰
Love the mouthwash pump idea. I use the lock it tops for travel. Perfect for holding qtips.
That’s the first tip for t.p. cores I’ve seen that’s legit! I will definitely use it.
Thanks for being human and not caring that you might look silly or stupid. ❤️
Love the coffee/candle jar idea
Great tips, the mouth wash and shot glasses was a great idea, the tp rolls for your curtins, the clear storage draws on the wall, loved them all
Absolutely adore….. love your videos always! The inspirational words at the end, just sweet as pie you are! Thank you for posting this
Love this! You’re right, #7 was amazing!! I am absolutely trying this hack! My curtains look so pathetic right now so I’m saving TP rolls!! Thx Kathryn!!
Me too!
I did the one with the tp rolls. It worked great!!
Also anchor the first eyelet the one closer to the outer side of rod and put that one so it stays put and catches when you run your curtains it stays beautifully in place
Longer term tip use one of the pool noodles out Dollar Tree cut up instead! After a while the TP roll loses its shape after being moved often 😉
Love that one too!
Lol I gasped out loud when you dropped that candle. You are a cute lil klutz. I love all your ideas and your hubby is so supportive!!!♥️♥️♥️
Oh my!! The coffee bean candle is back in style!!! I remember doing this 10years ago and I loved it!! ☕️🕯
Ove always wanted to do a Nautical theme for the bathroom. We've started on painting but still have a long way to go. Love your enthusiasm and projects.
We have one. A lot of keepsakes from our beach trips but definitely hang up things we've found at Dollartree or FamilyDollar. It's been fun putting it together! You'll love yours once you start!
We did it all ourselves so the only real expense was the beautiful shower curtain!
Enjoy❤
Love the toilet paper roll idea and the little snap close boxed to store cards, crayons, etc. We have a deck of cards in ours-- you're right-- it fits perfectly!
You are the Queen of DT tips.
Thank you so much for showing us the candle break. I've made a lot of mistakes today - feels better knowing I'm not the only one who goofs!
Snap lid container is good for stuff you might put in a ziploc bag but it makes it more visible and easier to find. I put my individual healthy drink packets in it and it's much easier to find in my bag than a ziploc
Who wouldn't love to run into or have Kathryn decorate or organize their home?! I know I would. She's the best.
And the sweetest
Incredible talent!
Absolutely!!!
Yes. I need broken glass all over my house.
YES 💯 ♥️
Dollar Tree just moved their store within walking distance of my home so I am loving your videos even more! Especially like that mouthwash idea since I have so much trouble opening the bottle every time I need to use it. Keep the Dollar Tree videos coming!
Hello Kathleen
I absolutely love your channel!!! And the way you end each one is so sweet….todays world there aren’t enough of people telling people they are worth anything so I applaud you for making that the last of your videos….I also follow a fellow tumbler maker who does the same thing and I love it….(I am chronically sick-AKA a spoonie and the only time I am allowed to leave my home is for doctors, test, treatments and infusions) so sometimes on bad days I watch your videos just to feel normal and hear then ending! Thank you!!
I haven't seen a Dollar Tree that clean and organized in ages!!!
You have a good camera presence and personality in these videos. Well done.
I Love Love Love how you end your videos with “You are Enough”with a hug. ❤️🤗God bless you!😇
2012 Kathryn being emotional in the car about breaking a candle 🥹 so precious. I love this channel !
Me too!
Just hope she paid for it.50 years in retail and so many just walk out.
Oh dear!! I stumbled on ur channel by accident and ICANNOTSTOP!!! I am like a Dollar Tree Monster now thanks to you!
I have one of the vinegar/oil containers from dollar tree for mouthwash. It works great!
Love these hacks ❤️ I’m definitely going to try them out, my favorite is the coffee beans and candle!!
Mine too! I have so many little glass items that I can repurpose to make these and give as little gifts as needed.
I enjoy your upbeat and encouraging personality.
I look forward to watching all of your videos.
You are a light in my day.
That was Great! 😜 I Loved all your hacks but you being you is the best part of these videos. You have the most positive upbeat personality and it is contagious! Thank you so much Kathryn!! Love You!!!
Haha, that's awesome!
I work at a barn taking care of horses, and the splatter screen with the handle is the most GENIUS water trough skimmer, the mesh is smaller than a normal colander, so it gets all the pollen, saliva skim, plus the debris that falls in, for a dollar those things save SO MUCH water, I just thought about it one day, because I LOVE Dollar Tree and like to find creative uses for cheap stuff anyway, haha!
Everyone at the barn was blown away, it's so simple but it works so well, haha!
And for a buck, if I have to replace it every week, it's still worth the water we save!
I have that little security thingy on my door and man, that little sucker does the job!! And very very loud. Good for keeping kids in (and it's also good if you have a family member with alzheimers who gets mixed up going to the bathroom at 4am. My neighbor had it and wandered down the road looking for her bathroom. Her sister didn't even know she opened the front door. So this came in handy.)
yes this is great for a person who has Alzheimer's ...also great for the blind. My Dad ( who is blind) appreciates having this on his back door.
Oh that’s a great idea.
🥰
Put it on your REFRIGERATOR
Just happened onto your channel and really enjoy it! Surely wish there were neat, organized and clean Dollar Tree stores in my area! I'm always amazed that they apparently exist! Thank you for your channel!
I have 5 herniated discs + my nearest Dollar Tree is 35 miles away, so videos like these really help me decide if I need to make the trip. Thank you! My daughters are teenagers, so we 'need' a lot of these goodies. P.S. ~ I love your outfit!!! :)
Wow a window door alarm great for living alone!!
I love that mouthwash dispenser idea. So chic and clever. Just hope my guests won’t mistake it as hand sanitizer or hand wash lol
If you have a label maker or Cricut you could make a label for it.
Love your positive, happy attitude!
Gosh, that egg separating idea is so cool! I was considering buying a tool, but don’t want more gadgets. I love the idea of using that I already have!
Thank you ever so much
Glad it helped!
@@DoItOnaDime IT WORKS SUPER!!! 💕
Egg Whites have zero nutrients
You can also crack it into your hand and let the white slide out between your fingers then drop the yolk into a separate bowl.
@@RubyTwilite I did try that, but then my hand is all slimy. And I lose some of the white. This way, I get all of the white.
The idea of hot gluing a small beach sign on a larger piece of wood is genius! And I love what you did with the splatter guard and candle and flowers! That was really beautiful.
One day when I grow up I ll do DIY projects, until then I ll keep watching you😁. As always thank you for the great content & positivity you bring every single time.
Hello Barbara
I feel the same way!🤣One day I’ll adult and do some of these projects, but until then I like to watch her be so productive!
I have a whole bunch of those Snap-on cover containers that we used when we were making some natural beauty stuff for Christmas gifts. I'm so excited you showed them for decks of cards. They could be used for card games for children and they would keep them together better
I never thought of using a clean soap dispenser for mouthwash! Genius!! Also the candle with coffee beans, gotta try that! Love your videos…please keep them coming! 😀
You have a happy, bubbly, personality. Thank you for your videos. They cheer me up. Thank you !!!
I’m a world away in South Africa but still love your content! Just please label the mouthwash dispenser to differentiate it from other liquids - safety first!
I watch a lot of these and I enjoyed this lady because her audio was clear, she had a pleasant speaking voice and is very chipper. Keep up the videos
We have hundreds of those little lock it tops! My daughter has a jewelry making business and she uses them for all her beads and clasps. They’re perfect!
I never knew dollar tree sold alarms. What a great idea you had for the pantry! Those midnight snack runs my husband takes will be found out 🤣😂
Please keep the ideas flowing and I enjoy the small apartment organizing ideas too.
I have some of those lock tops (#4). I have push pins, rubber bands, small fasteners and paper clips in them. They really work well with those little office supplies that can be a pain if spilled or lost easily.
That candle breakage footage was great! Who hasn't broken something in a store? So glad in my case, it's been very inexpensive items (maybe that's why I don't take my clumsy self to high end stores!) lol
Love the kids sneaking in the pantry!😂❤️
I like how passionate you are about these finds, it's always a pleasure watching your videos! Stay safe 💛🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Such a clean Dollar Tree 💚💚💚💚
Thank you so much for these amazing ideas! This video brought me so much joy!❤️
I hope your day gets better 🤗
IS it depression? If so... I struggle with it too. Sometimes I just pretend that the waves of depression are just that... WAVES... I have to ride them out... YOU GOT THIS!!! ❤
@@kimberlyallen4620 Sitcoms are usrally funny tho!! 😁
What I hate MOST abt depression is that when it hits sometimes you have NO IDEA WHY...?!?! It drives me nuts... I do take medication for my depression however I still have to ride the waves sometimes... Saturday was a bit rough for me... But it's ok... I got thru it... Sometimes I have to just get up and be active EVEN IF IT SUXS!! I really hope you get throught today calmly... it's hard... Ur absolutely not alone!!!
@@martinemikita9281 I like this analogy-thanks for sharing.
Everytime I hear her say "you are enough"... I tear up. Not sure if it's perimenopause, PMS or just the state of things in this world. Either way... it's a great reminder that we ALL are enough! ❤
Ok your Make-up and outfit are so on point! Can you please do a makeup video on how you did it?:)
Thank you Kathryn, you are the best, other than your content that's easy to try,, your phrase at the end "You are enough" makes my day better. You are so encouraging and uplifting. ❤ This is more than just crafting it's a form of ministry. Thank you again
I love your personality! You’re so down to earth and very creative.
Oh no-the candle! We’ve all been there. I LOVE these ideas!! Can’t wait to try the clear organizer one as a holder for things-going to use this for hair items in my bathroom!
Ur literly the cutest !!!!! It shows u love what u do ur such a wonderful person love ur channel and so thank ful for you !!!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕
2:41 You just gave me an idea for the splatter rings. I've been looking for slightly bigger hoops to create a macrame bed for a chubby kitty (lol), and I think the size of those rings just might work for her. I would have never thought to take out the insides of something like that, so that opens up other possibilities, too. 🤠
1:06 Those small lockit containers are great for keeping surprisingly dangerous toothpicks from spilling out in a drawer and getting a finger stabbed with a hidden one later! Toothpicks are evil! Lol 🤠
They can hold matches and keep them dry while camping!
Large hole salt and pepper shakers works well too.
Switch to floss instead of toothpicks. Floss is better and safer for your teeth and gums plus, if you get the unflavored floss, you can use it to cut heavy or fragile cakes by holding it across the cake and pushing down.👍🏻
@@MPurpleshark33 I never knew that! I always struggle cutting the first piece of birthday cake each year for my family. I'm definitely going to try this!
