- Dollar Tree is raising prices again! Dollar Tree will still mainly remain $1.25 but they are introducing products into every aisle that are priced as high as $7. What do you think of this?

The main reason I liked shopping at Dollar Tree was because I knew going in everything was $1. $15 meant I could buy 15 items. I didn't have to compare prices or worry that something was in the wrong place etc.
Part of the joy of a dollar store was not thinking of the prices... I just wish it were consistent.
Exactly! Now it’s just as big of headache to shop there as the bigger stores. No thanks.
Me, too. So disappointing
Exactly.. its gonna be pointless to go there.
I am seriously considering no longer shopping at Dollar Tree. This constant price hike is ridiculous.
Yes
Same 😢
Me too
I stopped a few months ago. Walmart is a good deal, and it pays to keep an eye on the grocery store ads too.
I’m much more picky for sure
I miss the old days where you walk in and everything was a Buck!!!! no price checkers, no wondering what things cost, EVERYTHINGS A Dollar 😢
You can thank Biden and democrat policies. Even if Trump returns it will never go back entirely to the good old $1.00 days.
Same! I would prefer they just stayed that way and not increased quality.
Exactly!!😢
You can thank the idiots that steal and don't buy they steal because they are pieces of crap
If we stop shopping there it might go back.
My advice, take your Walmart app with you when you shop and are tempted at dollar tree. Scan the item in to comp price. If the item doesn’t scan enter it manually and compare ounce for ounce. This is a really sad day. Gone is the store that you never had to ask how much something was. Along with the changing of the prices should come the changing of the name of the store. It’s basically a Dollar General now.
Gone is also the whole experience of Dollar Tree and a constant in all of our lives.
Exactly! The new CEO came from Dollar Gen, & apparently is bringing that store model w/him. BAD MOVE! We already have DG stores, while DT stood out as a better option! They should be trying harder to REDUCE prices, not raise them!
I always use my wm app to compare prices when im shopping elsewhere 👍 love how wm has everythinggg on the app
, I told my sister that DT now seems like Dollar General. And I don't shop there because I think it's a lot of cheap overpriced goods.
@@kathyw.3146agree. I can’t stand dollar general or family dollar.
*👎👎👎They are shooting themselves in the foot‼️😡*
I agree. Greed has overtaken Dollar Tree's Logic. Family Dollar stores were not popular for a reason, they sell overpriced, cheaper quality products that look cheaply packaged.
I was shocked when Dollar Tree consolidated their stores with Family Dollar. I knew it was the beginning of the end of DT's popularity, in my opinion! ) : It made me very sad. I have shopped happily at DT for over 34 years, ever since I was a young bride/mother. DT was my salvation and I touted its worth and amazingness to everyone!
Sadly, I no longer brag about Dollar Tree and soon, it appears, I won't shop there anymore. ) : I already find myself just buying my stuff at Walmart once a week. ) : So sad to see Dollar Tree go this path. ) :
Good afternoon Bethany and thank you for sharing this information
Absolutely!! I was upset over the $1.25 & then $1.75 on Coke & cereal in large boxes! Now this!! I’m going to stand there & figure out what’s the best deal & no, I won’t buy it at Dollar Tree!
Agree!!
It's close by but nope. Won't bother with them. They can go by way of 99c Store!!
Dollar Tree lost me a few years ago when they tried selling plastic shoe boxes for 1.25 each, then charged 1.25 for the lids! O and when they took apart the brooms, selling the handle and the sweepy part separately.
OMG I didn't even realize that. They do sale them separately
I had a Dollar Tree near me that turned into a Family Dollar. I did not like it. Basically I think they are turning Dollar Trees into Family Dollar, but leaving the Dollar Tree name because it draws the Dollar Tree customers. I will miss the original Dollar Tree.
At this point they need to change the name from Dollar Tree to Money Tree. 😒
I completely agree. Which is a terrible business plan since Family Dollar is the brand that has struggled for years. We need a slogan: Don’t Family Dollar my Dollar Tree! 😂
😡 Most Family Dollar’s items cost more than Walmart
Dollar Tree BOUGHT “Family Dollar” back in 2015. So everything that’s happen in that time is due to “Dollar Tree” not Family Dollar. Also a LOT of new “upper ladder mgt” are making the decisions. The prices will be “$1.25 & everything in between up to $7”. At this point “DOLLAR TREE” NEEDS TO CHANGE THEIR NAME!! 🤦🏻♀️Since it’s NO LONGER A DOLLAR for ANYTHING!! ✌🏻
I believe it's the same company but I may be incorrect. 😊
The best thing about Dollar Tree was that you could shop without having to look at the price.
They bought Family Dollar, closed most of them and now it seems like they are turning Dollar Tree into Family Dollar. Shame on them for doing this during such a difficult financial time for our country. I was already drifting away because I can get a lot of things for a dollar or less at Walmart and it's right across the street from our Dollar Tree. For example, box of Jiffy corn muffin mix for 83 cents at Walmart. Sad day for us on a fixed income or living paycheck to paycheck.
Dollar tree stores may have priced themselves out of business, customers will go somewhere else to shop
Customers will go to the Dollar tree to compare prices/bulk size with other retail stores. Once they see the prices cheaper other stores, they will go there. I guess Greeting cards are the only thing stays with $1 dollar. Definitely, people aren't going to buy a lot items than there.
99¢ only store did the same thing and now it seems they are closing all their stores after a few years
I rarely shop DT these days. I got frustrated watching TH-camrs show us their fabulous finds when the DT's in my area have empty shelves. At best I find 2 or 3 items featured in the videos. Thank you, Bethany, for letting me know another reason to shop elsewhere.
Most of them including Bethany (who told us she has to do this) go to multiple Dollar Trees to get one video. Nothing wrong with that, but knowing it does help me not feel so frustrated.
@@auntiegliz737 ikr, plus they also go early in the morning when it's clean, organized and empty, so they can record in peace
Most people shop at multiple stores trying to get the best price, if Dollar Tree is going to raise prices to be close enough to Walmart or grocery stores it won't make it worth your while to make an extra an stop at Dollar Tree.
Sad for the families on a budget and for so many crafters. Dollar tree no bueno.
Im single on a tight budget. I dont like buying larger sizing because it often spoils. For this reason, Im not happy about this change.
I’m sad for families that would take their kids to Dollar Tree and let the kiddos get whatever few items they wanted. It was the one place they could do that. Maybe Dollar Tree will roll out some amazing new stuff to make this all worth it but I’m not seeing it yet.
Yep on a budget crafter and mom this sucks a big one. Dollar tree needs to just be replaced. There are no true dollar stores anymore.
Dollar Tree prices for products are now overpriced. People will save money going to Walmart or Aldi. It's ridiculous that Dollar Tree is raising prices again.😮
Years ago I was in a really REALLY bad situation and I literally had to shop at Dollar Tree for our food. But THANK GOD they were around! I remember they had these bacon wrapped little steaks and they were delicious. I was able to feed my kids for so little. But now that will be a thing of the past! 😠
I honestly do not see myself spending much time there anymore due to this. They are going to loose a massive section of their clientele with this change, just like they did when they moved from $1 to $1.25.
Dollar Tree gotta pay for that bad takeover of Family Dollar. 😅
lol that's what I was thinking lol or they are trying to get rid of Family Dollars product stock! lol
That is exactly what I was thinking. Not sure if you read the article about the warehouse in Arkansas that was shut down due to rat investigation. 😬 I believe the citations were issued after covid and the investigation occurred during covid. Everything in the warehouse had to be disposed of and the warehouse was shut down indefinitely. Haven't been impressed with $ 🌴 in a while and now I definitely won't waste my time.
FYI, please be sure to investigate the food you buy for your animals. The products you mention in this video is like feeding your kids McDonald's everyday. 🤯
Let's let Dollar Tree know how we feel about the price changes by no longer shopping there.
That's exactly right .
Exactly 🎉
I'm done with dollar tree honestly
I hope Dollar Tree will see this and know they made a big boo boo in raising prices knowing we will just go to Walmart to purchase our stuff! Bad decision who ever came up with this idea for dollar tree!
I think the owner made this decision
My guess is the same people invested in dollar tree are the same people invested in Walmart. They get their money either way by confusing the consumers as to where the better deals are. Consumerism grossness. Now 99cent store gone too, forcing us all to only shop in higher priced areas. This is a toll on middle class psyche. Constant reminder that we just can’t afford anything anymore. So frustrating.
Right plus I trust Walmart quality better.
I think, like Dollar General, they will make their money in the rural areas that don't have a Walmart nearby.
They are ruining their store. They will surely go under now since they have changed everything . I’m not sure if I will continue to shop there anymore.
How disappointing how much things went up at DT. We were told last year some items were going to go back to $1.00. That never happened. Now we were told the increased items would not happen until the end of the year and it’s only April. Whomp whomp!!!
Actually they did lower some prices back to $1.00
@@nomanejane5766 all DT stores I go shopping, the only $1.00 are the greeting cards.
I used to love dt! That has now changed! With all the price increase I’m done with dt! The increase in drinks was the last straw!
Yes sir
a@@Glimmerandstyle
@@judypender5761 you ok
As a DT employee this is going to make my job so much harder. 😮💨 I have so many great coworkers but my time with the company might be coming to an end
The work you put into this video is astonishing......thank you ❤
The best part of Dollar Tree was not having to think about pricing. For all this hassle, Wal-Mart is comparable in price and Five Below is nicer in style than DT.😬🤷🏽♀️
Five below is now 10 or 15 below.
They're trying to confuse everyone with their prices now. Just taking advantage of us still thinking these products still cost $1.25 without checking each and every item ! Now, I will just spend a lot less money there
Why they have price checkers. Ones can't read 😅
@@megandaniels3875 not to mention the prices all across the bottom of the shelves.
I think they are trying to eliminate the 1.25 items and go to the higher priced items.
Because of these price increases, I've cut my Dollar Tree spending by 90%. The thrill is gone.
Had my highest dollar tree total this past week, i was shocked.
😢 So sad.....i became very selective as to what i bought there once the prices went to 1.25.....imagine i wont buy much there at all now. I will go in if I'm in the area to see whats new on the shelves to kill time but i will probably just buy the majority of my things at Walmart or Target.....not really worth making a trip out to Dollar Tree to save maybe .50 on an item....not worth the cost of gas since walmart and Target are much closer to me.😢 I think in the longrun...Dollar Tree's customers will go down tho as people see its not worth it to shop there.
😢
Indeed. I don't buy anything in the aisle of $3 or $5, just window shopper. Since I don't buy any greeting cards, probably walk in the aisles to pass time.
Just learned from do it on a dime. The new DT CEO is from dollar general so you hit the nail on the head.
I did, too, altho Bethany is always #1 when it comes to crafts, & w/this vid regarding actual product comparisons.
He’s an out of touch prick… clearly doesn’t understand that Dollar Tree was a safe haven for low income people
I truly appreciate the amount of work you did to show us the price and quality of comparable products from Dollar Tree, Walmart and grocery stores! This video had great information!!
Prices are going up everywhere! It’s getting tougher and tougher!
I don’t think they are doing themselves any favors with this move. I used to shop at Big Lots when they actually had unique items that came from overstock at other stores. I don’t go anymore, it’s not unique anymore.
I totally agree with you on this. Their prices are outrageous. I have shopped there maybe once in the last few years and walked out with nothing.
Big Lots used to be a bargain, Now their prices are the same as grocery stores.
I don't do Big Lots (overpriced, not unique) or Walmart (unclean, merch boxes in isles) anymore. Now, add an overpriced Dollar Tree to the no shop list.
Big Lots went out of business here a couple of years ago.
I would be somewhat okay with this is they had one section $1.25 items and the other half all the higher priced items but incorporating it all together is probably on purpose so people will just grab and go and without paying close attention until they get to the register and realize the total is way too high. Or if they would pay their hard working employees more then it would be worth it but I have spoke to a lot of them and the ones I am close tomake less than $10 an hour and work so much because they are always understaffed.
That is my exact thinking but my microphone didn’t get me saying that. I prefer they kept it in a specific aisle like the plus section but it really is mixed into every aisle. I don’t know how many things I saw put into the wrong spot by a customer. There’s going to be so many unhappy customers and these poor workers are going to get the blunt of these angry people not the actual people among these decisions.
At our DT, the last I heard it was $8.40 an hour.
Yes I agree completely. One of my former student's mother works at my local Dollar Tree and she said people have really been taking it out on them about the prices even though it is clearly marked on the shelf. I imagine it's even worse when products are being placed in the wrong spot.
This is really sad for..I'm on a budget and I could always count on certain products for 1.00....then when they went to l.25 I had to be more aware...now it's too hard to figure out...thanks for a informative video...good tips!❤❤
Walmart has the same prices. Too bad I won’t shop at dollar tree anymore.
I just hate that the prices keep going up.
They are pricing themselves out of being what they are. There were always a few things that were cheaper other places but now it’s gonna be way more obvious.
Your dollar tree is beautiful. When I go onto my dollar tree, the shelves are not stocked., there’s trash everywhere, and God forbid if they have boxes because they’re just sitting in the middle of the aisle. But I am not going to spend more than $1.25 at the dollar tree. I will take my money to Walmart or Aldi’s or even my local grocery store.. I worked at dollar tree the same one that I’m talking about, I have seen the prices fluctuate. This is absolutely ridiculous.. dollar tree is not doing anything for its customers except turning into like you said a Dollar General or Family Dollar and I don’t shop at either of those stores
Dollar Tree PROMISED once they increased the price a quarter they wouldn't increase it anymore. We put up with it for the "plus" section. But now????? How can they keep the name Dollar Tree? I probably won't be shopping there much anymore. Once they increased the price before, I stopped going as much, since I could get the same things at Walmart for about the same cost/without having to go to another store(dollar tree) even further away.
You are right!! Becoming like a Dollar General! I was so sad when I went to dollar tree last weekend. The excitement of shopping is gone 😢
I price compare wherever I shop. DT's baking soda at $1.25. My local grocery is 69 cents. Ounce per ounce DT and my store Ocean Spray juice is the same. Learn your prices before assuming a dollar store is cheaper. And warehouse stores aren't always the cheapest either.
I spend a lot of time shopping online. I bounce from Publix, Walmart, Amazon Whole Foods, and Sprout's websites just so I don't waste money. Grocery shopping has become a bigger pain than ever. Time is money, so I am not sure if I am ahead or behind. LOL
Thanks for this. You did a great job of price comparisons between stores on a nice variety of items. I'm so sad that this is happening to DTs. I mainly gravitate to crafts and seasonal decor, so we'll see how those sections do with their pricing.
I personally feel like I’ll just shop at Walmart, be the dollar tree just isnt affordable enough anymore, especially with them raising everything.
Now that they’re making me do hard math, they can keep their stuff! Bad move DT! Sad!
Ever since they went to $1.25, dollar tree just isn’t fun anymore. Those quarters add up. I won’t be going into Dollar Tree anymore.
I'm not shopping there anymore. It's cheaper to go to Walmart and target.
Yes, many items are cheaper at Walmart.
Yep...Walmart will win. When we have absolutely no choice but Walmart watch what happens to prices then.
I stopped shopping at the dollar tree once they went up I never thought I would but that raise adds up and if I can go to Walmart and save anywhere from 25 cents and up then I go to Walmart. I haven’t been to dollar tree in a while. And to see the prices go up and such doesn’t scream dollar tree to me anymore.
They said it was due to their wealthier customer base. Which is BS bc the whole point is for us poors to afford things. I don’t think “wealthier” people shop there.
You’d be surprised how many luxury cars I see at Walmart, I just shake my head 😅
@@hildatyburczy8221Walmart is a store for everyone. There is a lot of people who rely on dollar tree because money is so tight. I don’t think I’ll be shopping at Dollar tree anymore because they just excluded most of their middle to lower class customers who rely on their goods. The message is clear they sent.
I live in a blue collar town but the town next to mine is a wealthy town! I shop at Walmart mostly and I see so many luxury cars there! I also shop at dollar tree for a lot of stuff there too! I’m on Social Security!
I agree
@@hildatyburczy8221walmart isn't compared to dollar tree where u spend only $10 vs Walmart u buy more stuff ...
I feel bad for the employees who are gonna have to argue about these prices with some people at the register. :(
Why is it still called Dollar Tree 🤔
Just like Dollar General, there is not much in a DG that's just a $1.00
Yes rename it to Many Dollars Tree
Lol @@RadBadJodster
They should called a buck(et) of trees.
@@RadBadJodster rename it to Money Don't Grow on Trees.
That's crazy! Some won't be able to afford dollar tree anymore 😢
I didn’t shop at the DollarTree/Family Dollar combo stores so I won’t be shopping at the Dollar Tree anymore. I enjoy Dollar General and their $1 aisle.
It is only a matter of time before Dollar General has no $1 aisle.
The new higher ups must not realize that DT stores are typically disorganized, w/products mixed together from different shelves, things stuffed behind on shelves, & often piles of things on the bottom shelves thst you have to sift thru. Unless they're going to keep it neat, I can foresee lines of ppl at the price checkers before going to the registers. I also foresee angry customers complaining that certain products were in $1.25 sections. Lots of ppl are hurting financially, too, & DT has been the last option for some ppl. I've never bought food before at DT, but used to get 20 craft items for $20, & now it's 16 items for $20. If ppl were getting food, that's a big diff, & now it'll be even worse! We already have Dollar General stores, so why is DT trying to compete w/them when DT was already #1 in the $1 & 99cent market? Also, DG stores are everywhere, & I've even seen a DG Mart grocery store! Unless DT steps up their $1.25 offerings, ppl will just go to DG - at least they still have a $1 section, too! As a crafter, I'd like to see more at $1.25 than nicer, expensive options. If I want to spend more, I'll go to Hobby Lobby or Michael's w/a coupon & shop sales!
Thank you for all you do to keep us informed. I will no longer shop at Dollar Tree, but I will continue to follow you for your wonderfully creative ideas.❤
no more dollar tree
When they raised prices from $1 to $1.25, I shopped their less. I’m afraid with these new prices I will not be shop there at all.
Bethany, I have not been to Dollar Tree in a while. Thank you for sharing this information. I will definitely keep an eye out for the price change.
The dog food at Dollar Tree is crap. I was told by the best vet we've had to buy your dog food from a pet store. Any that will sell at a grocery store is crap. You don't have to buy the most pricy dog food just not one at a grocery store.
Walmarts prices are going to rise too.. basically you really gotta shop around and know your prices 😅
Thank you for continuing to share this information, Bethany. You and Kathryn (Do it on a Dime) are blessings to share this information.
Looks like they're combining Family Dollar and Dollar Tree under one roof. No reason to go to Dollar Tree anymore. I find better prices at Target.
I wish they would have just kept the higher items to the separate aisles - that worked well with the 3/5 dollar items.
I have to say is I stopped shopping at dollar tree soon after the covid outbreak , I suppose it no longer felt good to shop there. I really don’t miss it and with their price increase I’m sure never to stop in.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video. It’s a huge help to all of us. They have to be getting rid of a bunch of the $1.25 items in order to make room for the more expensive items. The square footage in the stores is still the same. However, I can see getting rid of some of the stuff they carry. It is so cheap, and falls apart so easily that it’s hard to believe it ever sold in the first place. It’s going to be interesting to watch. I used to be a huge Big Lots shopper. I may go two or three times a year, if that now. I never go in a family dollar. And I’ve never been a fan of Dollar General. The fun of going to Dollar tree more often was because it was easy to shop at. I’m sure I’ll move on from it just like I did Big Lots. Never fear though…there’s almost always someone ready to open up a new store to give people the shopping experience they like. Ollie’s is what came on the scene that offers what Big Lots used to offer. And Big Lots is now struggling to stay afloat. Maybe another store will open that will have what Dollar tree used to have. I know it can’t stay the same price forever. However, keeping the same priced items together in the same isles is shopping we liked, and appreciated with Dollar tree. I don’t mind them adding some higher priced items, but mixing them in with everything else just zaps the fun out of going to Dollar Tree.
Yep. They saw customers' incomes & saw potential profits, yet failed to ask ppl why they shop at DT in the 1st place! We go out of our way for a store that's worth the trip. If the prices are in-line w/DG & Walmart, why make the extra trip to DT??? Ppl don't go there to spend a lot of $ bc they make a lot of $. They go there regardless of what they make bc they HATE spending $, & DT was the one store where ppl were guaranteed to spend less! It's not worth the extra trip when everything + more groceries are at Walmart! This is such a bad move & business model! Why do they think Family Dollar failed? It's bc they tried to compete be DG, Walmart, & 5 Below. DT basically owned the $1 market!
@@trishgels EXACTLY!!! And from reading the comments almost everyone feels this way. I definitely won’t go like I have for the past 35 years. I’ve shopped regularly since they first opened. Just like I make no effort to frequent family dollar, dollar general, or big lots, I will no longer be frequently visiting Dollar tree. Instead I will hit up Target and Walmart dollar spots, since I will already be in those stores. Olllie’s has become my new go to for fun shopping and picking up new books. However, if Dollar Tree follows the same model as Dollar General, and opens in rural, and low income places they may still have enough people to stay alive. Simply because people in those areas don’t have anything to chose from. Or in poor cites where a lot of the lower income walk everywhere, and don’t own cars. They walk to dollar tree and dollar general. Even considering all of those options I don’t see their profits staying like they have been, because it seems as if those areas aren’t what they are after. They are focusing on the rich. The rich do shop there for very few things. Their main shoppers who drive their sales aren’t the rich. It’s the middle and lower income people.
Harry and David is a store that sells their own labels in many food items that are great for gift baskets.
I loved the fact that you did not have to check each items price at DT. Definitely purchesed more items because it was a $1. Since they increased prices to $1.25, I have shoped even less. I believe this is the begining of the end of dollar tree, really sad.
I use to love shopping at the Dollar Tree but I haven't been in there in weeks since I've started seeing these price increases. I may have to buy bigger sizes sometimes but ounce per oounce or per unit I can almost always get a better price somewhere else.
Thank s for the 411, Bethany! Sadly, except.for greeting cards and the occasional holiday item, DT has pretty much taken themselves out of my rotation for shopping since you can find pretty rmuch everything elsewhere bigger and cheaper with a good sale. Thanks for all your amazing videos and keep up the good work!
It's hard now to find the 2 for $1 cards at DT anymore. Now they are $1, and I'm betting they'll raise those prices more now. Just not worth the aggravation to shop there any more!
Northern Virginia - we've had no Dollar Tree Plus stores. The stores here are a mess, with stacks of product boxes waiting to be shelved and few staffers. Lines are very long and staff is super limited. Now that DT wants to be a variety store, or Walmart dupe, I'm out. This will save me time and money, since I was prone to buy a couple of $1.25 impulse items on the regular. Now I'll just forgo DT entirely, which will be better for my budget.
Up in Canada, we don't have as many Dollar Trees as in the U.S. Our dollar store is called Dollarama and their prices still range from $1.25 to $ 5.00. I only go there when I need stationary, party accessories, storage bins and kitchen gadgets. I actually try to avoid Walmart. Canadian prices are twice or sometimes three times more than the U.S.
My kids loved Dollarama! It was their first time visiting Canada and they were psyched at the coold stuff they got that we don't have.
@@gnrbryce9560 That's awesome! Sometimes I wish that our stores carried some of the things that are available in the U.S. I would have to go to Amazon to find them and it would cost even more than expected. 😟
I actually like that because I’m in dollar tree all the time and I don’t like going to Walmart that much. This way I can maybe get things I don’t buy from dollar tree generally such as shampoo etc.
That's a great perspective and I'm glad that this will be at least helpful to some people! :D Thanks for sharing!
Harry and David is a well known brand. It’s sold at Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, Boscov,s, William Sonoma and the Harry and David retail stores and outlet. They are also known for their chocolate, snack pretzels and moose munch popcorn
Wow, definitely appreciate the update! I haven't been to Dollar Tree lately, so at least the next time I go, I won't get whiplash from all the crazy price changed 😩
Thank you, Bethany, for all the hard work & math to show these comparing prices!😊
Remember that they bought Family Dollars a few years ago. There were several warehouses that were closed because of merchandise that had expired and contaminated by rodents. They will be closing hundreds of Family Dollar and Family Dollar stores. This is not good. I blame it on corporate greed. We as consumers are paying for this now. 😭
I suffer from depression and DT was my happy place. I’m truly sad about these changes. Walmart gives me anxiety. Urg. Fantastic video! ❤
Thank you, Bethany. I have been a comparison price shopper for many years and I am happy to see you pointing out the price per oz/ per piece cost on like items at different stores. I also keep in mind if shopping multiple stores is a savings verses time/travel is cost saving. It's worth a couple of trips to different stores to get familiar with the goods before deciding where to spend your time and money for certain things. Love your channel, been a follower for a few years now. (-:
Dollar General has become my go to store. Your video was very helpful! Thank you 😊
Across the street from my workplace is a plaza with a Dollar General and a Dollar Tree. And I never go into Dollar General, only to Dollar Tree...because... Everything was a dollar ($1.25)! If I want general dept store stuff I go to Walmart (my area doesn't have a target, five below or etc) Going to DT was fun because I could pick up whatever caught my eye without worrying about blowing the bank. Now it's just like Dollar General and I'll probably be stopping in way less. (And I will not buy anything priced over a $1.25!)
I went into Dollar Tree yesterday thought everything was 1.25 that I got but boy was I wrong be very careful on the prices it adds up. Don't know how much longer I will shop there. Thanks for the price comparisons very informative.
Sue Wolfe- Thank you for doing the comparisons. If you really want to compare things, check the price per ounce as that will break it down regardless of size, etc. You can see the price per ounce on the Walmart tags since they're the part in red. That way, you can really compare even if the bottle sizes aren't the same. Gotta love it!!
I hate family dollar and dollar general because they’re expensive and a lot of items have no prices listed so it’s a surprise. My dollar tree is putting things out that are more than $1.25 but not showing the prices just like Family Dollar. With these price changes, I might as well go to Walmart.
I am really upset Dollar Tree decided to go higher. It went up at our store a few months ago. I haven't been going there lately. Dollar General is closer to me and they still have some things for a dollar.
Thank you Bethany for the walkthrough of all the stores and the price changes great job 💜❤️🧡💛🩷🩶💚🩵
That was a lot of work, thank you for this video. So good to see the comparisons.
Our dollar tree did put the price scanners in. I will no longer be shopping there unfortunately. I can get the brands from Walmart for just a bit more. Sad really, cause I loved the dollar tree
Thanks for being so thorough! I will think of your video, when shopping at Dollar Tree.
No point in shopping at DT anymore. Walmart prices are better for consumables and Hobby Lobby has a lot more selection for crafting for not too much more money. It's easier to go to the bigger stores where I know I will find stock and good pricing versus DT where stores are dirty, shelves are empty and now prices are higher.
Thank you Bethany!! I know this was a lot of work to put together! I appreciate it!! 😊
I quit shopping at Dollar tree when they went up to $1.25.
Just think of the money you have saved!
I was a weekly shopper before they decided to hike their prices up by 25%. Then only every couple of months. Now- no thanks- too many other selections else where. Just not worth it.
I should’ve stopped then! I’m going to stop going it will save me money actually 😂
It's a 1.25!!!
And just think they are bringing better things
Prices everywhere have gotten out of hand! You definitely need to know your prices and shopping around!
It looks like they are trying to get rid of all the Family Dollar items. I have seen any of those more expensive items in SC…at least not yet.
Thank U 4 taking the time 2 share these new changes! 💞😘
All my Dollar Tree closed. There's one 30 minutes away, but I won't drive that far just for dollar tree stuff. Nor do I watch anymore dollar tree DIYs, sorry Bethany but you were one of my favorites. Blessings!
Thanks for the update Bethany!
Looks like I will be shopping at Walmart more now. They just priced themselves out of the store. Too bad, there are a lot of people on a budget that shopped at dollar tree, their prices are not better anymore.
Hard to believe prices went up so far so fast.
Great job on this video and all your price comparisons. This is super helpful. Thank you!
I always scan with the WM app to see if cheaper, many things are. Beware buyers
I have no use for the Dollar tree except for certain crafting and seasonal holiday decorations and if those start going up I won't even bother. It's worth it to go to Walmart for most things.
We have to shop around these days- no more going to get a bargain at DT. Sad times 😢
Thanks for taking the time to get us that information
Very helpful thanks for taking the time to give us all an overview of what’s going on with dollar tree 👍🏾
I have decided that there's very little point to shopping DY anymore. It was fun for awhile but, our Hobby Lobby is right next to our DT. With the sales and coupons it's worth it to get better quality items.
Glass items including frames at DT are so thin and break easily. I've yet to see any florals actually worth getting. Ribbons and other odds and ends are good but can generally be purchased at Hobby lobby for nearly the same price.
