If you enjoyed this video, please give it a THUMBS UP as it helps me in the TH-cam algorithm! 😀 Do you have a tip when it comes to shopping at Dollar Tree/Dollar Stores? 👇 COMMENT BELOW 👇
I normally buy things like storage supplies like bins and such. Plus I get clearance stuff from time to time like candy and calendars that I turn into pictures by cutting pages down. Here is a tip but from my local goodwill "if you have second hand stores in your area you can sometimes find stacked bins taped together for $2.00 for multiple bins and such. Rather than buying 5 for $5 from dollar tree. You can buy 5 for $2.00." I do this a lot from my local goodwill $.99 section.
Wow! I always had questions about the Dollar Store and you answered questions I didn't know I had! For example I don't understand about Manufacturers vs Retail coupons. Maybe you could talk about this subject sometime. Great show as always!
The Deal Guy Yo Way2SaveRudy... Matt, any word on when Amazon Prime Day is going to be?? I’m so in need of getting me an Echo or Echo Dot for a room I recently renovated. Thank You My Friend!! Hope All Is Well!!!
Matt you are so down to earth, relaxed & yet your enthusiasm and presentation is awesome. Don't feel you need to change anything because your enjoyable to watch & listen to. You speak from your heart & are humorous as well as real. Just continue to be yourself because you have a great personality. Thanks for all the great tips.
"Thanks for watching, and I love you." Well!!! That was unexpected! This is the first time I've ever watched you but hey, I love you too Dude! You rock!
I accidentally clicked on one of your videos once, and I thought to myself "ugh, why did my computer click on that". But I stayed once I realized that you might help me to save some money, and who doesn't like that? Turns out, you are a sweet guy who is charming and adorable, and you really just want to help people keep some of their money. Keep up the good work, thank you a million times! I finally hit the subscribe button after watching a couple of your videos. :)
When shopping on a shoestring budget and your in the lower economic level you do and eat what u can.. I have consumed near every item of food offered at the dollar tree I can create gourmet foods from just the dollar tree. I love their home goods too. Everyone comments when they come to my house at how amazing my home looks ..some things I tweak some I don't. Great place to shop.
We are in a lower income bracket too. We’ve been trying to add passive incomes which are harder to come by when you are that low but, an old coke machine set up and stocked once a week can earn $250 a month, refurbishing free wood furniture (not passive but, good if you work with your hands), write books and sell them on kindle. Use the KDL program so, people can order a physical copy. Sell your skills on skill share or similar. Rent equipment. The last one isn’t exactly passive but, could net some good profits if it were those inflatables for birthday parties or something just things you see that are popular in your area. Cheapest and easiest way to advertise for that would be flyers with tear off numbers. You see a return on those in about two weeks. I don’t know why two weeks but, that’s how it’s always worked for me. Make a Facebook page for it and make a QR code so people can scan it.
Thank you. Your kind consideration for other people comes through in your presentation just wanted to let you know we can all see how much you care about others! Good going
I know this is a year old but, I am very much appreciating your honesty. I've been watching your videos and learning a lot! So, thank you and keep it up! 😎👍💯
You, sir, are thee BEST spokesman I've ever seen! You talk concisely, clearly, with no "um, ah." Your speech is fluid, and I find that professional and satisfying, because you never stumble, and that can be frustrating listening to someone on TH-cam. I always enjoy your videos; I have learned so much with all of your tips! Be yourself, never change, and thank you for all you do!
@@sheilagravely5621 I think the Dollar Tree is the only place left that actually still sells 3 L. bottles. Check your store though, because I was under the impression that they were a 3 liter bottle but I actually read the label and they went down to a 2.5 L!! Maybe it's just my local area, but a 2.5 L bottle is still the biggest that they sell and it's only at the Dollar Tree.
They have boxed milk which hasn't been cooked until it's dead, and you can actually make cheese with it. It doesn't have to be refrigerated until it's opened and that's generally a year or more left before the expiration date. I've gotten wet stones to sharpen my knives and tools, a travel iv wand, paint supplies, rechargeable batteries, puppy pads, fruit juices, tortillas, salsa, etc. They also have low protein foods, which my daughter requires due to an inborn metabolic disorder. Crackers, almond milk, cheese sauces, vegetable meatballs are some of what i get for her there. Cleaning supplies too. Solar lights, tiki torches, citronella sticks, medical and hygiene supplies too. I spend about $100/mo at the dollar tree.
My son had an apartment roommate in grad school, and while he took quite a few kitchen items, the other guy only brought plates for himself. And his cat. They needed a LOT of items to stock the kitchen, as well as basic food staples (salt, baking soda, etc). Dollar Tree to the rescue! A cart full of items for $50 got the job done. Their Betty Crocker utensils aren’t bad, btw.
I've gotten many kitchen items from Dollar Tree.. There one time when I stayed at 4 star hotel that had a kitchen... we got some groceries to save on eating out.. I used the cooking tool from this 4-star hotel and it actually melted..(the hotel should be ashamed, but I know their not).I went to a Dollar Tree to get some kitchen tools that do not melt when you use them.
Yep! I use coupons all the time. Each location may limit and different quantity of identical coupons. Its sometimes difficult to find the name brand in the Dollar Tree to match the specific size but you can get a lot of name brands for half the price! Most comm coupons I use at the Dollar Tree; Jimmy Dean $.50 off ANY frozen item (so size or type doesn't matter), make up, Lysol toilet bowl cleaner $.50 off ANY size, and Glad or Ziploc sandwich and storage bags.
Dollar Tree has been accepting coupons for about 4 to 5 years now. I've gotten Finish dishwashing tabs for totally free, Lime-a - way toilet bowl cleaner for .25, Lysol cleaning products for .50, Wet and Wild make-up for .50, Candy for .50, Hefty sandwich bags for .25 (even though Hefty no longer makes the sandwich bags anymore.) The only problem I run into while using coupons is the cashier almost always doesn't know how to apply them.
I have that same problem with my local Dollar Tree.....they act like they don't know how to apply the coupons. So then they refuse to accept them. So I just gave up on trying coupons at my local Dollar Store. Which is frustrating because, I see everyone else on various DT sites using the same exact coupons at their stores.
@@rachelflower8826 You should go on the Dollar Tree website and print a copy of the Dollar Tree coupon policy. That will prove that Dollar Tree does accept coupons. They can't wiggle their way out of that. They just want to be lazy and not deal with them.
Make sure to check the item that you are purchasing is the exact same size/volume as the coupon. When the cashier scans the barcode on the coupon the register should let them know whether it can be used or not. And sometimes coupons can't be used on a product due to the fact the corporate offices has blocked them or have yet to put them in their data base. I should know because I used to work for Dollar Tree.
Dollar Tree oftentimes has a fantastic craft department. the primary brand they carry is "Crafter's Square". In my area, that sections sells out fast. So one has to sop often in order to get any good crafting items. Also, you hand gestures are delightful, keep it up!
When the holiday crafts come out, I grab everything I think I might use. They do exchanges instead of refunds, but there's always something to stock up on.
I'd be scared that the cashier would be like what makes think you're gonna get stuff in a dollar store for free! We don't take coupons here with a look. 😂😂
I love this! I've spent hundreds at the dollar store, especially they're seasonal items, & based on the cleared shelves, a lot of people are wising up to their deals. But some things are cheaper at the big-box store.
Especially when you learn that some cheap or clearanced items you find at a regular store are still marked up 170-650% which is great for the stores profit line but since you're not the CEO of that company, that could be a half hours worth of your time at work that you're exchanging for a single cosmetic item.
The hand gestures are great, they aren’t overdone and they match you’re charisma! I one of many videos I’ve seen this past week that I’ve been able to finish and I will continue to do so, as well as subscribe! You’re fun to listen to, very interesting and nothing annoying in my opinion. So keep it up and THANK YOU!!!
I've just recently found this guy..my fav so far was one he did of home gadgets with the "foot hammock"...I thought it was so funny he was in a shirt & tie..but he had on his shorts & socks down under! 🤣😂🤪...
I really appreciate videos like this that include so many money saving tips for shopping online. Due to the pandemic many more people are shopping via the internet and given the economic situation we need to save every penny we can. Personally in my opinion, paying the least amount possible, whether online or in store, is the best and only way to shop. Pandemic or not. I keep a small notebook handy when I watch so I can take notes on all the ways I can save money. You are providing a much needed service and I thank you for doing so.
My mom enjoy shopping at these kinds of stores I enjoy it also I love the birthday , graduates , baby shower and sympathy cards . Two for a dollar they are cheaper than walmart , Target , cvs, ect. I also love their home decorations and birthday party decorative items. Smile From sunnyvale california karen
Matt, you are so much fun to watch, love the helpful hints. the hand movements are just fine and denote enthusiasm. Love to hear about your two-year-old and the aside comments to yourself had me laughing out loud. My grandbabies love the stickers too. Thank you for the obvious care you show to the mindful consumers who watch your channel.
The dry erase markers are equally crap. *Another teacher here* They dry up so fast, it's better to just go with expo... They're quality and will last longer than the crappy DT markers.
I buy the chicken and tuna salad with crackers there as well as large cans of black olives. I buy carpet powder there as well as some air fresheners. I didn't know they take manufacturers coupons, so that was a good tip. I rarely think to check their online page, and I watch Kelly Barlow make crafts from DT all the time. Often we viewers are disappointed because our DTs don't have the same objects so we can replicate what she's doing. Online might help solve that problem. Keep talking with your hands; almost everyone in my family would be speechless if we couldn't. 😄
I love watching the DIY videos that are dedicated to stuff bought at Dollar Tree. Some genius ideas !! Especially holiday decor. Personally I love to decorate but for holidays, I don't like spending a lot of money since the decor is out in the house for a short time.
SEE YOU THERE!!! Ha!!! I shop often at FOUR Dollar Trees in our area. Is it crazy that the employees know my name? Haha! God bless you. Peace, Lynne 🍃💜🍃
I work at dollar tree and one think I want you to be aware of regarding the coupons is that they have to match the size of the product. Our toothpaste is a smaller ounce than many of the manufacturers coupons specify so please keep that in mind when you use coupons at dollar tree
I totally agree with the statement someone said regarding your stressing of hand gestures! Don't even sweat it! They are a part of your Charm and adds personality to your content! If you're still not convinced , you'd make a great new anchor , reporter and or host for an interviewing type of show! Don't change a thing! I may be new to this channel, subscription , but you're very charismatic, easy on the eyes and helping to keep $ in the wallet ! You're like a trifecta at the horse races!
I'm from south Lousiana and hand motions are part of talking to us! LOL! Now as for this post? THANK YOU so much for the info about case quantities and the website! I'm one of the ladies of our churches womens ministry. Each year we have a large Ladies Christmas Dinner for every lady who would like to come. Each of the members of the ministry volunteer to decorate as many tables as we'd like... I usually decorate 2-3 tables and use the Dollar Tree for candles, votive holders, glass "whatever" to make up a beautiful center piece. This will make the tables so much easier to do and my more budget friendly! THANKS AGAIN!
@Nekole's Perspective::: if you use LEMONS/LEMON JUICE you can buy the exact same green bottle of 32ounces lemon juice for $0.99, which in brand name grocery store would be around $3/$4!!!
@@malaikaal-amin2706 I stock up on these for my wife as she drinks 1/2 lemon juice, 1/2 bottle of water and goes thru 2-3 of the big lemon juices a week. Also, the medical bandage tape is great as I make sure there’s 1 in every car & backpack 🎒
I am a communications and presentation skills trainer for attorneys. I was told in college debate team to sit on my hands. That was MANY years ago. Now, we’ve learned, that using your hands to help propel a story and engage your audience is natural and more importantly, it WORKS. You have great wide open gestures and I encourage you to continue using your hands and arms. Literal gestures help with a visual to details (ie, making a point, or counting the numbers, or visualizing large vs small items). And general movement gestures just help to keep the rhythm and attention. It also keeps the energy ‘up top’ in sight. That energy has to go somewhere, and the worst is when speakers start using that energy to shift hip to hip, or dart their eyes, neither which you do. Wide open gestures help with voice projection as well for those who are soft spoken.
GAME CHANGER!! I have been needing a few boxes of a wood block toy for a crafting project, but haven't seen them in any of my local DTs, and haven't ordered them online because you're required to buy about 36 or 48 of them! THANK YOU for letting me know I can order a smaller number! Will be doing that shortly!
I watch a lot of Dollar Tree haul videos, not everything for a dollar is worth a dollar, yes and especially the notebooks and stuff, but the teacher selection, craft, and food sections are great!! A lot of times it is worth way more than a dollar..those LED touch desk lamps...so worth more than that
Not necessarily. Dollar Tree sells 200-sheet packages of notebook paper. Remember those from your childhood? It's a better deal than a 125-sheet package from most other stores.
It depends on what you are buying, but in general yes. Like he showed the notebooks. If you are buying during back to school time, they are always cheaper elsewhere. I find that like anything you buy, it pays to comparison shop.
No!! PLS DON'T change! The hand/arm communication doubles as low-key physical exertion and it will help keep you healthy so that you can continue doing...all of THIS...for all of US! ...and it keeps the mind engaged due to the subconscious need to track rapid, unexpected movements for threat assessments! You're helpful, intelligent, witty, thorough, witty, easy on the eyes, not annoying at all, clear, concise, NOT condescending or off-putting, and behind all that... you're informing us of financially stabilizing, potentially life-saving info that we should know...and do now if we didn't before... What a great human being u r!! Thx!
I love Dollar Tree for so many things. Animal toys and silver baking oans r my go to. For storage baskets and bins r the best. I still dont understand how ppl pay full price for cards or gift wrap and balloons. I love dollar tree for so many things.
Have to agree with you there, especially about the party supplies. Parties and birthdays are temporary. You don't spend permanent monies on temporary goods!
Good to know crafting supplies are available online. The TH-cam channel, "The Crafty Organizer" is always raving about the great crafting supplies she scores at her local Dollar Tree. MY local Dollar Tree, however, does not carry crafting supplies at all!
This was great. I have a dollar tree about .75 miles away from me, not a bad walk. It has a frozen food section, great household supplies, candy, paper and cleaning supplies, discounted fem products etc. I have purchased food items, but mostly things like canned foods, snack items and mentioned. Will go back to check this out again. It's been a while. Thank you for the video, happy holidays! 🥰👍🏽
What a great set of tips! What's really funny is that I've lived 3 miles from a Dollar Tree for over 20 years, and I never even knew they had a website, along with most of the stuff you told us! I hope to go shopping tomorrow! 😁 Now, if only we could talk this chain of stores into having one or two motorized carts, I'd spend just about everything I have there, lol. Handling a walker and not being able to walk very far at a time stop my shopping at most stores, and then throw in a basket too, it's nearly impossible...
Vitamins and supplements are one of the largest "Private Label" items on the market. The vitamins you buy at discount stores are the exact same thing as the vitamins at The expense supplement stores.
It might be the same thing, but if it’s at wonky dosages it won’t work. Melatonin would still work because melatonin pills we take are WAY stronger than they need to be, but they don’t get any more efficient.
Don’t get me started with the Germans and their flailing hands, my Grandmother would smack you with her hands if you were too close to her... she was spaghetti arms when she spoke! But I miss her so much -even her wild flinging hands/arms. RIP GM! ♥️
I watched you on channel 2. Missed you. Just happen to stumble onto your station. You've got self esteem, it's in there... you have an enthusiasm that rings true. You ha e a good sence of humor and peoe enjoy watching you! I'll be waiting for your next video 🙂 Good to see you again
Agreeing with those who said to use your hands. Your unique delivery is what makes me stay and smile. I find it genuine and quirky. The world needs more unique!
Hi Deal Guy I discovered you with Cisco and BJ'S and am so glad I did. Thank You so much for all the help you send your subscribers way. We're Grateful.
When looking at the groceries--check the ingredients. I once bought shredded cheese... Turns out it had zero actual cheese in it. Super weird. Buyer beware.
Occasionally I will get a couple of the Dollar Tree frozen rib eyes for my 130lb dog. We call them "popsicles". It's a nice raw frozen cost-effective treat.
7:47-7:58 made my day. I'm going to like and subscribe because you made me feel like I'm not the only one who does silly things like that🤣🤣🤣 Also the toxins in toys?! Who would have guessed that! Great video thanks!
At our DT, they usually have Campbell's Tomato soup in a 30% more can. Great for our family of 4. DT is right down the street from me, Target, Walmart and other grocery stores are 15 miles away. It's like my corner store. Love them. Thanks for your tips.
Yes! I'm younger but I have a bifocal correction in my prescription. When I wear contacts, I have to wear readers to read. I have gotten some beautiful readers and name brand cases at Dollar Tree!
You are so funny and knowledgeable. Really enjoy all your videos and have learned many saving tricks. Stay real my friend. Honesty just flows out of you.
I love the $ Tree shelf stable milk. It is a USA produced and packaged product and tasts rich. I live semi-offgrid with limited refrigeration so shelf stable dairy is a huge blessing.
@@jenna6149 Adorkable! I don't know if that's something you thought of yourself, or if it's a word that a lot of people use, but it's new to me. I love it!!😁
I have plans to move soon and intend on buying my plates bowls and glasses from dollar tree because if on breaks it'll be easy to replace without having to buy whole sets to match.
1ST APARTMENT I purchased all my plates and bowls, silverware from the dollar store! It was only my daughter and I...wasnt buying an entire case of anything!😂 In the end we had variety and plenty of dishes to go around. And nice deep cereal bowls😁
Lovely Roses most thrift stores are not cheaper. My local ones charge $1-3 for mugs, for example. I’ve actually seen MANY Dollar Tree items at thrift stores marked up to several dollars. Yes, buy new for $1 or used for $3 - same item!
good information. I have traveler all over Chicago, city, north & south suburbs looking for different items recently. I always find items I can use. Different ones carry different items in volume. After the rioting in Chicago, 2/3 months later, some of the stores are not opened or not being restocked. Love Dollar Tree
Great info about the online aspect of $tree shopping! I have friends that have told me that just like in-store purchases they will exchange items. So if you purchase a case and only need 9 most managers will allow you to exchange the last 3 for three other items in the store.
If you enjoyed this video, please give it a THUMBS UP as it helps me in the TH-cam algorithm! 😀 Do you have a tip when it comes to shopping at Dollar Tree/Dollar Stores?

When the holiday crafts come out, I grab everything I think I might use. They do exchanges instead of refunds, but there's always something to stock up on.
Coupons that say "any size" I use at DT all the time and get tons of free items.
I'd be scared that the cashier would be like what makes think you're gonna get stuff in a dollar store for free! We don't take coupons here with a look. 😂😂
Can't use a coupon for a dollar off unless its buy one get one free.
They have a coupon policy and I use $1 off all the time and get free items but coupons over $1 they adjust down to $1 they dont do overages.
My local store acts like they don't know how to apply the coupons.....so then they refuse to accept them.
Wait. What? Coupons?
I love this! I've spent hundreds at the dollar store, especially they're seasonal items, & based on the cleared shelves, a lot of people are wising up to their deals. But some things are cheaper at the big-box store.
Especially when you learn that some cheap or clearanced items you find at a regular store are still marked up 170-650% which is great for the stores profit line but since you're not the CEO of that company, that could be a half hours worth of your time at work that you're exchanging for a single cosmetic item.
Use your hands to talk! You’re teaching, and from a retired teacher of 36 years, you need enthusiasm for your subject matter!! Great job!!
The hand gestures are great, they aren’t overdone and they match you’re charisma! I one of many videos I’ve seen this past week that I’ve been able to finish and I will continue to do so, as well as subscribe! You’re fun to listen to, very interesting and nothing annoying in my opinion. So keep it up and THANK YOU!!!
I ABSOLUTELY love this guy!! You're 'flailing' hands do NOT bother me!! Excellent video.
Thanks for being here Christi!
Christi Rowland Didn’t notice the hands! 😂😂
I've just recently found this guy..my fav so far was one he did of home gadgets with the "foot hammock"...I thought it was so funny he was in a shirt & tie..but he had on his shorts & socks down under! 🤣😂🤪...
Yes, do continue to teach us shopping secrets at each and every different store you may learn them from. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Many talk with their hands, it just means you're passionate about the subject. Don't change!
True
I really appreciate videos like this that include so many money saving tips for shopping online. Due to the pandemic many more people are shopping via the internet and given the economic situation we need to save every penny we can. Personally in my opinion, paying the least amount possible, whether online or in store, is the best and only way to shop. Pandemic or not. I keep a small notebook handy when I watch so I can take notes on all the ways I can save money. You are providing a much needed service and I thank you for doing so.
My mom enjoy shopping at these kinds of stores I enjoy it also I love the birthday , graduates , baby shower and sympathy cards . Two for a dollar they are cheaper than walmart , Target , cvs, ect. I also love their home decorations and birthday party decorative items. Smile From sunnyvale california karen
Matt, you are so much fun to watch, love the helpful hints. the hand movements are just fine and denote enthusiasm. Love to hear about your two-year-old and the aside comments to yourself had me laughing out loud. My grandbabies love the stickers too. Thank you for the obvious care you show to the mindful consumers who watch your channel.
Wow thank you for such a nice comment Luanna! Made my day
I love the kitchen items. Sometimes you will find good things . I love going on a hunting journey at dollar tree 💜
Me too I visit a couple of them ...sometimes you find good stuff...If I know its worth more at a regular store I go for it.😄
I'm in there for cleaning items😁. Tp, paper towels, dish soap, air freshener, dryer sheets, candles, then I go for the miscellaneous stuff😂❣

As a former teacher...never buy pencils at DT. They don’t sharpen well at all.
I agree!
Thank you.
The mechanical pencils are a joke too. It is best to spend the extra $4 to get the ones that write properly.
The best pencils I find are Ticonderoca
The dry erase markers are equally crap. *Another teacher here* They dry up so fast, it's better to just go with expo... They're quality and will last longer than the crappy DT markers.
I buy the chicken and tuna salad with crackers there as well as large cans of black olives. I buy carpet powder there as well as some air fresheners. I didn't know they take manufacturers coupons, so that was a good tip. I rarely think to check their online page, and I watch Kelly Barlow make crafts from DT all the time. Often we viewers are disappointed because our DTs don't have the same objects so we can replicate what she's doing. Online might help solve that problem. Keep talking with your hands; almost everyone in my family would be speechless if we couldn't. 😄
Thank you for your research and info. Little secrets do help when on a tight budget.
I shop at dollar tree at least once a week. I am very crafty and I save a lot of money.
Same
I love watching the DIY videos that are dedicated to stuff bought at Dollar Tree. Some genius ideas !! Especially holiday decor. Personally I love to decorate but for holidays, I don't like spending a lot of money since the decor is out in the house for a short time.
@@christys8445 yep dollar and after Christmas sales.
SEE YOU THERE!!! Ha!!! I shop often at FOUR Dollar Trees in our area. Is it crazy that the employees know my name? Haha!
God bless you.
Peace, Lynne 🍃💜🍃
I work at dollar tree and one think I want you to be aware of regarding the coupons is that they have to match the size of the product. Our toothpaste is a smaller ounce than many of the manufacturers coupons specify so please keep that in mind when you use coupons at dollar tree
Good point!
They have gnocchi that is 70% potato, unlike major stores/brands, and is amazingly light & fluffy...bonus only a dollar!
The tortillas are good and soft...again only a dollar!
The gnocchi is a staple around our house. Great buy
@@DonJoeBob Mine too.
Thank you for this! 👍
I love it!
I totally agree with the statement someone said regarding your stressing of hand gestures! Don't even sweat it! They are a part of your Charm and adds personality to your content! If you're still not convinced , you'd make a great new anchor , reporter and or host for an interviewing type of show! Don't change a thing! I may be new to this channel, subscription , but you're very charismatic, easy on the eyes and helping to keep $ in the wallet ! You're like a trifecta at the horse races!
I'm from south Lousiana and hand motions are part of talking to us! LOL! Now as for this post?
THANK YOU so much for the info about case quantities and the website! I'm one of the ladies of our churches womens ministry. Each year we have a large Ladies Christmas Dinner for every lady who would like to come. Each of the members of the ministry volunteer to decorate as many tables as we'd like... I usually decorate 2-3 tables and use the Dollar Tree for candles, votive holders, glass "whatever" to make up a beautiful center piece. This will make the tables so much easier to do and my more budget friendly! THANKS AGAIN!
I enjoyed how excited you got over the Cocoa Puffs!! ☺️😉
The Betty Crocker utensils and scissors are not bad. My husband uses Awesome! In the garage. I love dollar tree for snakes, especially the nut mixes
😳😳.....you buy snakes from there and eat them😂....that made me smile
Snakes with nuts...mmmm
😂
I prefer the non-poisonous snakes.
I buy Fiji water and a good brand of raw apple cider vinegar. Saves me 💰
Their acv is just the basic refined version though, right? Not the acv with "the mother"?
@Nekole's Perspective::: if you use LEMONS/LEMON JUICE you can buy the exact same green bottle of 32ounces lemon juice for $0.99, which in brand name grocery store would be around $3/$4!!!
@@asideofaioli4630 They have 2 kinds: 1 with and 1 without the mother. Look for the bottle with green lid. It's a smaller bottle, but still great.
@@malaikaal-amin2706 I stock up on these for my wife as she drinks 1/2 lemon juice, 1/2 bottle of water and goes thru 2-3 of the big lemon juices a week.
Also, the medical bandage tape is great as I make sure there’s 1 in every car & backpack 🎒
I am a communications and presentation skills trainer for attorneys. I was told in college debate team to sit on my hands. That was MANY years ago. Now, we’ve learned, that using your hands to help propel a story and engage your audience is natural and more importantly, it WORKS. You have great wide open gestures and I encourage you to continue using your hands and arms. Literal gestures help with a visual to details (ie, making a point, or counting the numbers, or visualizing large vs small items). And general movement gestures just help to keep the rhythm and attention. It also keeps the energy ‘up top’ in sight. That energy has to go somewhere, and the worst is when speakers start using that energy to shift hip to hip, or dart their eyes, neither which you do. Wide open gestures help with voice projection as well for those who are soft spoken.
GAME CHANGER!!
I have been needing a few boxes of a wood block toy for a crafting project, but haven't seen them in any of my local DTs, and haven't ordered them online because you're required to buy about 36 or 48 of them! THANK YOU for letting me know I can order a smaller number! Will be doing that shortly!
I watch a lot of Dollar Tree haul videos, not everything for a dollar is worth a dollar, yes and especially the notebooks and stuff, but the teacher selection, craft, and food sections are great!! A lot of times it is worth way more than a dollar..those LED touch desk lamps...so worth more than that
Better deals on school supplies at Target, Walmart, Staples and believe it or not some supermarkets! Happy shopping 😊
Not necessarily. Dollar Tree sells 200-sheet packages of notebook paper. Remember those from your childhood? It's a better deal than a 125-sheet package from most other stores.
Also Dollar General. They have a coupon for $5.00 off $15.00
It depends on what you are buying, but in general yes. Like he showed the notebooks. If you are buying during back to school time, they are always cheaper elsewhere. I find that like anything you buy, it pays to comparison shop.
Bro what school my is online 🤣😂
Guess you don't bargain shop because all the big stores you named do not have better deals in my hometown but maybe so in yours...
Being animated means you are passionate. It's a wonderful thing and engaging. Don't change.
Thanks Regina!
You are so much fun! I just love watching you. Don't stress your hand movements--it's all good!
No!! PLS DON'T change! The hand/arm communication doubles as low-key physical exertion and it will help keep you healthy so that you can continue doing...all of THIS...for all of US! ...and it keeps the mind engaged due to the subconscious need to track rapid, unexpected movements for threat assessments!
You're helpful, intelligent, witty, thorough, witty, easy on the eyes, not annoying at all, clear, concise, NOT condescending or off-putting, and behind all that... you're informing us of financially stabilizing, potentially life-saving info that we should know...and do now if we didn't before...
What a great human being u r!! Thx!
I love Dollar Tree for so many things. Animal toys and silver baking oans r my go to. For storage baskets and bins r the best. I still dont understand how ppl pay full price for cards or gift wrap and balloons. I love dollar tree for so many things.
Have to agree with you there, especially about the party supplies. Parties and birthdays are temporary. You don't spend permanent monies on temporary goods!
I worked at dollar tree for a year and 1/2 and I had no idea on any of this stuff. *mind blown* 🤯
Good to know crafting supplies are available online. The TH-cam channel, "The Crafty Organizer" is always raving about the great crafting supplies she scores at her local Dollar Tree. MY local Dollar Tree, however, does not carry crafting supplies at all!
This was great.
I have a dollar tree about .75 miles away from me, not a bad walk. It has a frozen food section, great household supplies, candy, paper and cleaning supplies, discounted fem products etc. I have purchased food items, but mostly things like canned foods, snack items and mentioned. Will go back to check this out again. It's been a while.
Thank you for the video, happy holidays! 🥰👍🏽
Nothing wrong with your hand motions...part of your charming personality. 👍😉
Your tips are fabulous!
This year I bought spiral notebooks at Staples - $.10!
I love watching your videos Matt, your personality is everything 😊 you make my day when you upload
So informed!
I love dollar tree and I had no idea of some of these tips!!
My mind is blown.
Thank you. Thank you.
What a great set of tips! What's really funny is that I've lived 3 miles from a Dollar Tree for over 20 years, and I never even knew they had a website, along with most of the stuff you told us! I hope to go shopping tomorrow! 😁 Now, if only we could talk this chain of stores into having one or two motorized carts, I'd spend just about everything I have there, lol. Handling a walker and not being able to walk very far at a time stop my shopping at most stores, and then throw in a basket too, it's nearly impossible...
Great cake mixes. You can make affordable dinner's for families. Pasta is fresh
.
Vitamins and supplements are one of the largest "Private Label" items on the market. The vitamins you buy at discount stores are the exact same thing as the vitamins at The expense supplement stores.
been buying the melatonin for years works fine for me lol!!!
I respectfully disagree.
It might be the same thing, but if it’s at wonky dosages it won’t work. Melatonin would still work because melatonin pills we take are WAY stronger than they need to be, but they don’t get any more efficient.
I talk with my hands too. My dad always said if I lost my hands I couldn't talk.
🤗🤗🤣I miss my dad. Love him with everything ya got!!
Haha my mom used to say that to me!
If you watch Hispanics speaking, we do same. No stress. Sometimes it looks like we’re talking sign language 🤟
Don’t get me started with the Germans and their flailing hands, my Grandmother would smack you with her hands if you were too close to her... she was spaghetti arms when she spoke! But I miss her so much -even her wild flinging hands/arms. RIP GM! ♥️
😅
I like the hand and arm motions. It shows you are mire relaxed instead of being "stuffy".
I watched you on channel 2. Missed you. Just happen to stumble onto your station. You've got self esteem, it's in there... you have an enthusiasm that rings true. You ha e a good sence of humor and peoe enjoy watching you!
I'll be waiting for your next video 🙂
Good to see you again
I love how you emphasize with your hands! ❤️ Thanks for your videos!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge... it is so helpful!
Deal Guy, I just found your channel and love it! Thank you for all the tips and tricks on saving money!!
Thank you for your most helpful tips. I especially like the tip about purchasing smaller quantities vs. an entire case. Keep up the good work.
I’ve had their Mesquite smoke riblets. They are actually REALLY good. Lunch for a week at work for $4. 😉
Agreeing with those who said to use your hands. Your unique delivery is what makes me stay and smile. I find it genuine and quirky. The world needs more unique!
BTW, I watch you on hubby's account!
My Mom bought a couple of steak knives there and they were the best. Lightweight and sharp blades.
"Haa coca puffs, you can tell I don't get out much"! 😁 He's so silly we all don't get out much.
Hahahaha too true Josie
😁
As a child my brother fed me dry cat food and told me it was cocoa puffs. Haha to this day I can't eat cocoa puffs.
@@shortycakes2007 that's harsh to cringe to cocoa puffs till this day from that. Siblings can be buttheads, I have 7 older ones I understand 😐😃
In Georgia, Florida, and Alabama we do. We never really stopped.

Hi Deal Guy
I discovered you with Cisco and BJ'S

When looking at the groceries--check the ingredients. I once bought shredded cheese... Turns out it had zero actual cheese in it. Super weird. Buyer beware.
I tried the cheese once and it was horrible. Never again
Gina Rae - I had the same experience. Bought what I thought was shredded mozzarella cheese but it wouldn't melt🤭😣never buy $1 cheese
I bought so-called American cheese at DT, it didn't melt. Even when microwaved. I do like their grated parmesan.
Karen H. I will never buy their cheese again 👎🏾
@@MsTwiththeTea1980 me neither
Occasionally I will get a couple of the Dollar Tree frozen rib eyes for my 130lb dog. We call them "popsicles". It's a nice raw frozen cost-effective treat.
What a great idea! I have a huge. Dog and am very careful what I give him. Thanks!!
Dr oz says if its spelled wrong on the package, do not buy it.
Is dr oz even a dr 🤷🏼♀️🙄
Hugh Mad Bro Surgeon!
Oz is bought & paid for by advertising.
I have never seen a package with misspelled words
Dr oz is a QUACK
7:47-7:58 made my day. I'm going to like and subscribe because you made me feel like I'm not the only one who does silly things like that🤣🤣🤣
Also the toxins in toys?! Who would have guessed that!
Great video thanks!
At our DT, they usually have Campbell's Tomato soup in a 30% more can. Great for our family of 4. DT is right down the street from me, Target, Walmart and other grocery stores are 15 miles away. It's like my corner store. Love them. Thanks for your tips.
I love the frozen fruit for smoothies n their sherbet is delicious. I love it.
I will definitely have to try the frozen fruits 😊
Yes some of the best prices for frozen fruit.
#10 blew me away!! I had no idea! You've started something 😄 keep using your hands-- it's part of your personality 😉
Exactly
Ohhhh and the cheater glasses ROCK, for us older folk that need readers... lol 😆
My Eye Dr recommended i get my readers after my cataract surgery til i had both done and got new correction glasses.
🤓
Yes! I'm younger but I have a bifocal correction in my prescription. When I wear contacts, I have to wear readers to read. I have gotten some beautiful readers and name brand cases at Dollar Tree!
Yes!!!!
I go and buy 10 at a time.
Hands are not a problem. Helps with the visual.. Plus it shows you are into the conversation 😊 Nice video

You are so funny and knowledgeable. Really enjoy all your videos and have learned many saving tricks. Stay real my friend. Honesty just flows out of you.
I love the $ Tree shelf stable milk. It is a USA produced and packaged product and tasts rich. I live semi-offgrid with limited refrigeration so shelf stable dairy is a huge blessing.

"I didn't get sick" high praise indeed 😂 I love this so much! Thanks for posting!
😂Right.... I get a lot of items at $1 Tree, food just isn't one of them.
I have plans to move soon and intend on buying my plates bowls and glasses from dollar tree because if on breaks it'll be easy to replace without having to buy whole sets to match.
1ST APARTMENT I purchased all my plates and bowls, silverware from the dollar store! It was only my daughter and I...wasnt buying an entire case of anything!😂 In the end we had variety and plenty of dishes to go around. And nice deep cereal bowls😁
Thrift store is even cheaper with nice brands for cups, plates, and bowls.
Be careful..
Plates burn you hands when microwaved...check to make.sure it say Microsoft safe
Lovely Roses most thrift stores are not cheaper. My local ones charge $1-3 for mugs, for example. I’ve actually seen MANY Dollar Tree items at thrift stores marked up to several dollars. Yes, buy new for $1 or used for $3 - same item!
@@nikkig8549 So true.
Thank u for the tips & for adding personality to this video which made it more interesting.
good information. I have traveler all over Chicago, city, north & south suburbs looking for different items recently. I always find items I can use. Different ones carry different items in volume. After the rioting in Chicago, 2/3 months later, some of the stores are not opened or not being restocked. Love Dollar Tree
Great info about the online aspect of $tree shopping! I have friends that have told me that just like in-store purchases they will exchange items. So if you purchase a case and only need 9 most managers will allow you to exchange the last 3 for three other items in the store.
