Please give this video a THUMBS UP if you liked it! 😀 A lot of you commented asking for another Amazon Product dupes videos so I thought this would be a fun Dollar Tree twist. Which dupe was your favorite?
It works great when cleaning the windshield from the inside you can use a Dollar Tree silicone spatula inside to extend your reach and get into tight places without damaging your interior.
@@zippyzoe sure is! I use it all the time, and can find it everywhere. I am a professional cleaner and rely on it to dust and shine things up without encouraging a waxy build up. I often pick it up at Dollar General.
My dollar tree haul today>>> small bag of potting soil 1.25 perfect so I don’t have to buy cubic foot from Home Depot, duct tape to do a fire starting hack 1.25 (yes watch much TH-cam, bbq bristle/scrubber for our grill 1.25 at Walmart would be 5 dollars up, plastic plant water jug 1.25 same size at grocery outlet 6.99, aluminum cooking strainer 1.25 this one at big lots 5 bucks, 6 mini plastic pots for my seed project 1.25 …couldn’t find these else where unless clay or more expensive…your vids have me look closer especially use vs price vs frequency vs durability…kudos to you
@@CassieDavis613I have two where I live - one kept up nicely and the other seems to hurricane induced😄😄😄. Along with needing a good sweeping in the floors underneath the shelves! I shut my eyes!!!
@@CassieDavis613 Mine too! We have 3 in our area and all of them look as though they have been ransacked. I still look for certain things, but most of the time, they don't have it. Oh, well, the search continues!
Same here. We had one that was fairly close that completely shut down, said the building sold. The others have hit and miss departments now too. We have been looking for those headlamps for a couple of years, and the ones by us never seem to carry them. Those that have well stocked dollar stores are lucky, seems that a lot of them are having inventory issues.
I started out just liking your videos BC I am a frugal fiantic. Then, you end each one with "I love you". I didn't realize a phrase from a stranger would help me one night. And now, many more! You do more than bargain shoppers....thank you & I love you!
I have a bottle brush, but it does not have the foam pieces at the top. I use it to wash my narrow metal water bottles that I can't fit my hand inside of.
Hey Deal Guy. That Cetaphil dupe is the TRUTH. I bought it three weeks ago, used it twice a week and it is FANTASTIC. Definitely worth $1.25 and still has the same quality of cleansing. Again Blessings to you Matt Granite and your beautiful and growing family. 🥰😍😘
I bought the Cetaphil dupe from Dollar Tree also & am satisfied w/ the product. For a $1.25 I'm not afraid of trying most items from Dollar Tree, occasionally I pass because I'm not impressed w/ the quality I'm seeing. I love these review videos especially comparing dupes & also for the name brand items I may not have heard of.
Hello Deal Guy...You showed us the canning jar mugs and said the Amazon lid came with it but I have something great to share...if you have grated parmesan cheese in the jar in the fridge save the lid and when opening a new jar trade it with the old one and put the new one on the jar mug. I did that 4 times so I'd have a new lid for each mug. Also when you lift the sectioned lid it will have a place to insert a straw. Enjoy all your videos. Bye from Ohio🌹
I bought a pack of 12 canning jar lids (without sealing bands) at Walmart for $3.47. Since I'm using the canning jar mugs for regular storage or to make candles, I don't need the bands. Walmart also has plastic lids and plastic drink lids.
Dollar Tree sells the lids that fit those jars I think its 3 screw lids plus 3 of those flat pieces that go under the screw lid for a dollar and change. They are in clear packages hanging on the shelf at the end of the aisle where the jars are fyi.
I've been hunting for that bag sealer for months but still haven't found it in any Dollar Trees in my area; I'm going to keep hunting, though. I do have the small magnifier with a light, and I like it a lot. I don't often need the light, so having to push a button to get it is no problem. Loved this video---as I do all of yours. I especially like that you actually buy the product and test it at home, then share the video with us. And your sense of humor is well worth the price of admission. Thank you, Matt!
That spikey hair care tool is great for your dog...giving him a 5 minute scratch with that thing (especially behind the ears) sends his tail into overdrive.
Thanks for all the work you do in showing these comparisons. You don't just show them on the rack at the store - you buy the items, take them home & give examples on how they could be used, etc. It must take a lot of time to film all those clips, so thanks for all your efforts!
Check the ingredients on the dupes. I have found one product that is supposed to be a dupe but it had something I am allergic to. On the other hand, I found a dupe that did not have my allergen, compared to the name brand. So you may actually not just get a better price, but a better product for you.
2:14 I used to put that on in the middle of the night when I work night shift in the ICU so I would just sneak in and turn off a pump or an alarm on an IV pole and not wake up the patients LOL
I just assembled a piece of furniture and I must tell you that wearing a headlamp made all the difference in being able to see the screws and other detail tasks. I have also read that using one while trimming your dog’s nails makes a huge difference if you’re struggling to see the blood supply to avoid cutting too close.
Remember when comparing meds or body products it’s not only the active ingredients that are important but the filler , excipient ,inactive ingredients are very significant as well. I speak as a retired human product manufacturer for 40 years. Thanks
Also, many of the body products featured in this video are made in China. I would not trust anything made in China. That country is known for putting unsafe ingredients in everything. I'd rather pay extra and buy the brand name equivalents, which are typically made in North America or Europe. Body products at Dollar Tree made in Turkey, Canada, or the US are of course safe. When going to Dollar Tree, be sure to look for the country of manufacture on the packaging.
They don't typically list percentages, but the general rule is that the higher up it is in the list, the higher the amount of ingredient. That's not to say there can't be 3 ingredients that are equal amounts but obviously they still have to list one first & one last. If it's a long list & the main ingredient that's supposed to be the selling point isn't high up the list then it's a fair bet that you're not getting what they want you to think you are.
@JeanStAubin-nl9uo I'm pretty sure, if you are labeling your product as similar to a name brand, the active ingredients has to be identical in everyway, including percentages. Otherwise you can't say, *Comparative to X,Y,Z*
@@IcyTechNique they really can though. Because if you pay attention to the verbiage, what they actually say is "compare to X's ACTIVE INGREDIENTS" which only extends as far as, 'hey used the same active ingredients but we may not be using the same amount, or same quality; & we might be using some filler ingredients the other guys don't' which is also something to watch for.
I shop Amazon for items I cannot find anywhere else! I DO NOT overpay just because I shop on Amazon! Depends on what you are wanting! I bought some,of the under cabinet lights for my kitchen a few years ago and they were crap! But ma y other items are excellent! Do not buy batteries from Dollar Tree!!!
I have a major love affair with plastic bins, basket, containers, etc.😄😄😄. One reason why I need to control myself (especially when my local Joann’s fabric store is right next door!)!
I got the toilet brush, that is with all the cleaning brushes above the spray bottles, to clean out like bigger jars, pots and such as well as give the sink a swipe or 2 and it works great.. also have the dish with soap spot
I always buy the baby bottle cleaner for washing my hummingbird feeders. Always watch out for BPA in plastic products and chemicals in body and face products especially cosmetics. Great video!
"Far from graceful when cleaning them." 😂 I would have to agree. I would have said the same thing. I always enjoy your videos. I'm sure you all are a fun family to be around.
Just a heads-up on the Mason jar mugs. Save your mayonnaise container lids and peanut butter lids as they screw on perfectly. I make ice coffee drinks ahead of time and store them in the fridge. I just toss in some ice cubes and get back to the party.
Love your channel. The headlamp from Dollar Tree is something I always make sure I have especially during hurricane and storm season. It leaves me hands free if I need to redo or fix something in the dark.
Good point! I will have to look for one next time I go to DT. I have a couple of the little round handheld lights with the handles on them, that can be set down. But sometimes I need a more focused light, and the headlamp seems a good answer for that. Thanks for the idea.
my kids (age 30 and 26) keep one of these in their tool boxes. Saves them from scrambling to find a flashlight when working on their vehicles. I have one to use if I need to do any snow shoveling after dark. (rural areas don't have many street lights.) The light is bright enough for a vehicle to see.
I have them just in case of an emergency and have water gallons and I will put around them and put them around the house. Also I have solar let’s also for light.

Love your videos. The only problem I have with Dollar Tree is that they are not all stocked the same. More than half of the items seen in these types of videos cannot be found in the stores near me.
I asked my one local store a few years ago why this is and was told thst it’s the district people who make the choices! So I have another location just maybe 3 miles away that is much better - same district people???
@@hollylaureano2860 I live in a damn good neighborhood and one store is always messy and the other is very clean! Neighborhood doesn’t always mean a crappy store! Very ignorant for you to suppose such a thing!
@@hollylaureano2860 Not necessarily. Our store in mid town- not terrible, not posh- always has more items than the one in the new part of town with the expensive real estate.
My kids will no longer go to Dollar Store with me. I grew up in a "different" income. When my daughter took me to Dollar Tree-oh my gosh!! I kept saying "A dollllar"? "A dollllar"? I was like Oprah-you get it for a dollar, you get it, you get it😂 Supposedly I’m "embarrassing" to my teen grandkids that have all different colors of hair, body piercings & black clothes💕
@@margaretritter5682 Which is ironic, because if the friends are there, then that means their family also shops at the store, sooo...why make fun of someone for it? 😂 And yes, I say this as someone who was bullied for not having nice clothes and shoes but I also knew that catering to people like that wouldn't earn me genuine friends. I'd rather be alone (which, a lot of the time, I was), than to ever make my mom feel ashamed for doing what she could to support me and my brothers.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley I agree. We were a militery family and did what we could. Now as a properous adult I still shop thrift stores. Love a bargain
Hey DG - Friendly FYI - if that is actually YOUR shower handle in cleaner video, you need to tighten up the set screw NOW. If not, you're going to have an awkward time when it pops off while turning on (or worse, OFF) and you are trying to replace and tighten it while the water is running.
I'm glad! The food sealer is usually hidden around the registers, but be warned, it does sell out quickly. I just wanted to let you know so you're not left disappointed if you don't find it on your first trip.
I like this info. The sad thing, not that you can do anything about it😢, is this. The 4+ Dollar Tree stores that I shop at, dont usually have any of that, 😢
I like to double the oven mitts so I got 4, for the times I cook things that require the oven is set at 400 + of if particles of food fall inside and I'm cleaning one pair while the other is drying, but still cheaper at $Tree. Love the $Tree socks, I get the ones that come in grey, white & black, they are about 3 - 4 inches up on the ankles. Other than the Costco white tube socks with the grey toes the $Tree are my 2nd faves. You hit on almost all of my favorite items. Only thing I have not seen at my $Tree is the games. Thank you for the video Matt!
What a deal on the slow down dog feeder! Our elderly dog developed acid reflux in his old age. This bowl was a life saver! AND our daughter paid twice that cost from Amazon at a pet store for him to have that bowl.
These are great finds! Why pay more when there really isn’t a need to??!! Thank goodness for stores like Dollar Tree. They really help folks like myself who are on a fixed income. Thanks for the video! ❤️💜💚
I really like the products you have this time Matt.. Lots of great deals. The dupe of Vicks is my favorite it is the real Vicks but just the bottom of the barrel so to speak. I will never pay full price anymore after finding out that lots of thing are the real deal but they are just the bottom of the barrel brand made out of the same thing the original product is only it's what left over after making the first round of the real product. Thank you Matt, for everything you do...I appreciate you so much, God Bless you...
One thing I would find useful in these comparison videos is a per-unit price for items like cleaning products and health and beauty (shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer etc). Sometimes the smaller package at dollar tree will make the deal just a little bit less fabulous.
I have the silicone oven mits, from the Dollar Tree. So far I really like them. The baby bottle brushes are the only ones I really like. For the same reason...they're the only ones that fit in the bottle correctly. The other one we use on the sippy cups or our tumblers. I am still looking for the light with the magnet on. A friend of mine loves hers. I did too when I used it. I love the no show socks.. Thanks for sharing all the finds. May you have a Blessed day.
Love, love, love your reviews and your channel!! I shop the Dollar Tree for a lot of things I need for the home. The bottle brush cleaner is awesome and I like the fact that it has a suction cup so it's always right where I need it. Baby powder and after bath powders are great and the prices can't be beat. Dollar Tree has raised prices with most items costing $1.25. For me, it's still a better deal than what I would pay at Walmart. Therefore, I will continue shopping at Dollar Tree.
Thanks for all your help by showing us the differences. I was going to order the bag sealer for an Easter Basket filler for my grown son. I will lookfor it at $Tree. Have a great week. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for this new video, Matt. Your work does not go unnoticed. I just wish the two Dollar Tree locations near my house had these items. Both stores have had so many (way more than usual) bare shelves and walls for about six weeks, and I wonder how they are staying in business. They look nothing like the well-stocked stores in your videos.
I always like your videos! Great comparisons of the items! Going to try some soon! At the end when you say “I love you” I always respond out loud and say, “I love you too” . ❤
So helpful! I use their pizza pans since even pricier ones don't wear very well with continued use. Soap trays are in a two pack. Easy to use until gunky than toss!
Hi there! The bag sealer, least the one i got at Dollar Tree, broke part before it even attempted to work. They are cheaply maade. Save your $1.25 unless you like donating to dollar tree
great video! it would be helpful if you said what section of dt you found items in. even though they be diffent in each store, it would be a starting point. I have been to dt & finally located items but not where I expected it to be. thanks for your highlighting these terrific items.
Work literally: I use this product in several ways. My closets have no lights so I bought three one for each closet. I also have a new shed and I keep one in there as the days are getting shorter. This product has been very handy as putting in lights and these above-mentioned places can get pricey. Thank you.
Thanks for the tips! I will have to try some out. I do have to say the before you go spray is NOT comparable from my experience, and I won’t buy it again, unless they have reformulated it since I tried it. The one I tried, ended up, smelling like a cheap grannies, air freshener, which ended up being a little worse than the original scenario ha ha. I am eager to try to find the ole dupe. However, I did test the Cetaphil lotio dupe yesterday, and the lotion was spoiled and smelled really really old and icky. I had to hurry and try to get it off my hands. I was really disappointed. That being said, there have been products that I do purchase regularly because they are good dupes so these are all worth trying in my opinion!
You are absolutely terrific. Thank you so much for all your time, effort, dedication and research into presenting us with the very best deals. Thank you thank you thank you
Let me tell you what my cat did with that ‘tricky bowl’ that’s supposed to slow down their eating. I set it out filled with food, he looked up at me like ‘Are you even kidding?!”, took one paw flipped the bowl over spilling the food out and swatted the bowl out of the way- then went back to his regular eating. I looked at my husband and said, ‘Well, that was a waste of a dollar!”.
I would have put the food back in the bowl and if it kept happening the food would be put away. A hungry kitty doesn't play games. Its what people do also that have mice/ants, etc. The food is put out, and the pet either eats it right away or they are not hungry enough to eat. They get one more chance before bed and that's it.
I use a heavy ceramic slow-feeder for my cats. It's shaped like a large upside down bowl with holes in it, so they have to reach their paws in and pull out the kibbles piece by piece. It's large enough that three cats can gather around it at once, and heavy enough that they can't flip it over. I give em soft raw food in their individual bowls, and fill up their slow-feeder with their measured morning kibble rations combined to keep them busy all morning. 😂
Ive been shopping dollsr tree for years. I stick to the same trued and true things i knew thats work. Alot of dollar trees arent as well stocked as others. I noticed each dollar tree supplies different things then other dollar trees. I really appreciate this video. It blows my mind the price differences. Thank you!
I appreciate your reviews , sad thing is the dollar tree in our area rarely has any of the things that are reviewed, this time and other times as well. I go to purchase and leave disappointed as they never have any thing I go for.
Your Dollar Tree store is neat and well stocked. The one in my neighborhood and the next location over are both not well stocked and always look as if a tornado went through.
I noticed that you showed in a previous video, the collapsible dog bowls. I am a feeder for feral cats. I have purchased several of these bowls and they have been able to remain all year round. They are very sturdy and stay in place. So far I’ve only had to replace one as it disappeared from the cat feeding station. Thank you so much for healing all these items. I enjoy it very much.
Every single video gets a subscribed thumbs up. I so look forward to your videos and have stealthed many a bargain because of you. Thank you for your hard work. This gal appreciates it.
Thanks for all your comparison vids. I’m always disappointed at our small town DT. It’s only three aisles nestled in a Family Dollar, so doesn’t have any of these products. But even the one in a larger city 40 miles away isn’t as good as yours!
I simply love all your videos. all the great Dollar tree you show are amazing. unfortunately my dollar is not that neat and well stock. half those products i would not see even if I go to 6 dollar Tree stores in my city. I would have to drive a hour and 10 mins out of town and maybe i will find most of the products you show.

Thank you for this list. Love that you tried these products and gave feedback. Our family tried the Cetaphil wipes. They are quite rough for us. We don’t recommend. 😢
Hi. I have the soap dispensing brush. I use it to clean my cast iron pan. Works good. Thank you for the video. Have a nice day everyone. Oops almost forgot: I do not put soap in the brush (not good for cast iron).
Thanks for what you do! I have a comment about the vick's vapor rub dup. It may not have the same % of active ingredients as Vick's so not as effective
I have the headlamp & use it when I walk my dog pre -Dawn &/ or night. Casts a nice light a few feet in front of me, so a good purchase IMO👍🏽. The Olay Regenerist dupe is good - I bought 10 jars😊
The brush cleaners were meant to hold in your hand while cleaning the make up brush, not left sticking in the sink. The suction cups are for letting it drain! Just saying😄😄😄
@@thedealguy I imagine she did! I cracked up seeing how brutal you were with those brushes. I'm still chuckling (all in good fun), and I dont even wear make up. Thanks for all you do :)

Great video, a lot of people don't shop around and just over pay on Amazon.
I shop Amazon for items I cannot find anywhere else! I DO NOT overpay just because I shop on Amazon! Depends on what you are wanting! I bought some,of the under cabinet lights for my kitchen a few years ago and they were crap! But ma y other items are excellent! Do not buy batteries from Dollar Tree!!!
Absolutely correct! Amazon should be a last resort when you can’t find what you’re looking for.
Sometimes my time is more valuable than a $5-$10 savings.
Yes, at some point Amazon prices went bonkers because they know people don't shop around.
It's mostly because they don't want to leave their house...
Excellent presentation! I use the storage stuff (shoe storage etc.) from DT. Goes under the bed. No one sees it. Great for a buck 25.
I have a major love affair with plastic bins, basket, containers, etc.😄😄😄. One reason why I need to control myself (especially when my local Joann’s fabric store is right next door!)!
I use them to keep small items dust free in my workshop.
The brush cleaners,#7, works great for paint brushes 🎉
Thanks for this info!
I got the toilet brush, that is with all the cleaning brushes above the spray bottles, to clean out like bigger jars, pots and such as well as give the sink a swipe or 2 and it works great.. also have the dish with soap spot
I use a toilet brush specifically for cleaning the tub so I wouldn't have any lean over so far
I always buy the baby bottle cleaner for washing my hummingbird feeders. Always watch out for BPA in plastic products and chemicals in body and face products especially cosmetics. Great video!
Great idea! The ants always attack my hummingbird feeder so I can use to clean it out with water.
"Far from graceful when cleaning them." 😂 I would have to agree. I would have said the same thing.
I always enjoy your videos. I'm sure you all are a fun family to be around.
Just a heads-up on the Mason jar mugs. Save your mayonnaise container lids and peanut butter lids as they screw on perfectly. I make ice coffee drinks ahead of time and store them in the fridge. I just toss in some ice cubes and get back to the party.
Love your channel. The headlamp from Dollar Tree is something I always make sure I have especially during hurricane and storm season. It leaves me hands free if I need to redo or fix something in the dark.
Good point! I will have to look for one next time I go to DT. I have a couple of the little round handheld lights with the handles on them, that can be set down. But sometimes I need a more focused light, and the headlamp seems a good answer for that. Thanks for the idea.
my kids (age 30 and 26) keep one of these in their tool boxes. Saves them from scrambling to find a flashlight when working on their vehicles. I have one to use if I need to do any snow shoveling after dark. (rural areas don't have many street lights.) The light is bright enough for a vehicle to see.
I have them just in case of an emergency and have water gallons and I will put around them and put them around the house. Also I have solar let’s also for light.
The headlamp is perfect for hand sewing. Lights your work area and you don't have to sit near a window or lamp to see.
Matt- I really love your personality!! You always keep me entertained through the whole video. Thanks!!
Hello Deal Guy...You showed us the canning jar mugs and said the Amazon lid came with it but I have something great to share...if you have grated parmesan cheese in the jar in the fridge save the lid and when opening a new jar trade it with the old one and put the new one on the jar mug. I did that 4 times so I'd have a new lid for each mug. Also when you lift the sectioned lid it will have a place to insert a straw. Enjoy all your videos. Bye from Ohio
The silicone oven mitts will leave you with burns unless you're very fast. They seem like quality but they do NOTHING to keep the heat away.
Thanks for the warning I was about to get those.
I thank you also as I was about to do the same as my fabric ones are on deaths door
Blessings 💜
I find that the Pampered Chef ones better although more expensive
They are pretty thin, I'm just taking a small tray out if my toaster oven so I stuck one inside the other and it protects me just fine 🙂
@@vickigonya9432 I've done that too, but that tells you how bad they are.
Love your videos. The only problem I have with Dollar Tree is that they are not all stocked the same. More than half of the items seen in these types of videos cannot be found in the stores near me.
I asked my one local store a few years ago why this is and was told thst it’s the district people who make the choices! So I have another location just maybe 3 miles away that is much better - same district people???
Go to the better neighborhoods and you will be amazed. 😊❤
@@hollylaureano2860 I live in a damn good neighborhood and one store is always messy and the other is very clean! Neighborhood doesn’t always mean a crappy store! Very ignorant for you to suppose such a thing!
@@hollylaureano2860
Not necessarily. Our store in mid town- not terrible, not posh- always has more items than the one in the new part of town with the expensive real estate.
@@sandybruce9092lol! You mad and I’m happy!!😊❤
My kids will no longer go to Dollar Store with me. I grew up in a "different" income. When my daughter took me to Dollar Tree-oh my gosh!! I kept saying "A dollllar"? "A dollllar"? I was like Oprah-you get it for a dollar, you get it, you get it😂 Supposedly I’m "embarrassing" to my teen grandkids that have all different colors of hair, body piercings & black clothes💕
I had a friend her boys would not go to Kmart or Walmat in fear their frinds would see them there.
@@margaretritter5682 Which is ironic, because if the friends are there, then that means their family also shops at the store, sooo...why make fun of someone for it? 😂 And yes, I say this as someone who was bullied for not having nice clothes and shoes but I also knew that catering to people like that wouldn't earn me genuine friends. I'd rather be alone (which, a lot of the time, I was), than to ever make my mom feel ashamed for doing what she could to support me and my brothers.
my own mother would not shop at the low life walmart@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley I agree. We were a militery family and did what we could. Now as a properous adult I still shop thrift stores. Love a bargain
I look like your grandkids and I love dollar tree
Thank you for taking the time to show us the side by side of each product. We ❤ you too Deal Guy.
I have purchased the space tape. It works well organizing things in my bathroom.
I was wondering what people use it for & what kinds of materials it works with!
Hey DG - Friendly FYI - if that is actually YOUR shower handle in cleaner video, you need to tighten up the set screw NOW. If not, you're going to have an awkward time when it pops off while turning on (or worse, OFF) and you are trying to replace and tighten it while the water is running.
That handle flew off and hot water spewed out when I was a teenager. I will never forget that.
I love when you do these videos!!!! Thank you!!! I’m gonna try to find the food sealer this afternoon!!
I'm glad! The food sealer is usually hidden around the registers, but be warned, it does sell out quickly. I just wanted to let you know so you're not left disappointed if you don't find it on your first trip.
@@thedealguy ...Thank you for this tip! This was the item I was wanting, as well. I will keep a closer eye on the items near the registers. Thanks! 😃
I will be looking for this as well! Thank you.
It's junk!
Definitely do more of these videos when ur able to. Very helpful! Thank you for testing these products for us! ❤
He does them all of the time, his channel consists of mostly dollar tree stuff and comparison of different places.
Thank You Matt! You do a great service & are always
very professional & cheerful!
❤🌠
I like this info. The sad thing, not that you can do anything about it😢, is this. The 4+ Dollar Tree stores that I shop at, dont usually have any of that, 😢
You are too funny Matt! Thanks so much for your videos and comparison shopping in order to save us all more money!
I like to double the oven mitts so I got 4, for the times I cook things that require the oven is set at 400 + of if particles of food fall inside and I'm cleaning one pair while the other is drying, but still cheaper at $Tree. Love the $Tree socks, I get the ones that come in grey, white & black, they are about 3 - 4 inches up on the ankles. Other than the Costco white tube socks with the grey toes the $Tree are my 2nd faves. You hit on almost all of my favorite items. Only thing I have not seen at my $Tree is the games. Thank you for the video Matt!
I shop at DT often. Thank you for sharing.
What a deal on the slow down dog feeder! Our elderly dog developed acid reflux in his old age. This bowl was a life saver! AND our daughter paid twice that cost from Amazon at a pet store for him to have that bowl.
Or just put a can in the middle of the bowl- it gets pushed around, slowing him down.
Try elevating the food bowl too😊
Thanks Matt . We appreciate all your hard work and we love you too ❤😊
Love the transition from protection for your feet to protection for your furniture. Good job!
From human feet to furniture feet, have we got the product for you! 😂
These are great finds! Why pay more when there really isn’t a need to??!! Thank goodness for stores like Dollar Tree. They really help folks like myself who are on a fixed income. Thanks for the video!
❤️💜💚
I really like the products you have this time Matt.. Lots of great deals. The dupe of Vicks is my favorite it is the real Vicks but just the bottom of the barrel so to speak. I will never pay full price anymore after finding out that lots of thing are the real deal but they are just the bottom of the barrel brand made out of the same thing the original product is only it's what left over after making the first round of the real product. Thank you Matt, for everything you do...I appreciate you so much, God Bless you...
Thanks for the support Donna :) Really appreciate you
Thank you, DG. I would like to see a list of the items in the description panel, if possible! It would make my trip to DT easier. 😊
Yes!!!! Fantastic idea!! I really hoo he does that or a viewer.
One thing I would find useful in these comparison videos is a per-unit price for items like cleaning products and health and beauty (shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer etc). Sometimes the smaller package at dollar tree will make the deal just a little bit less fabulous.
My cat likes to play with the pet feeder. My dog just looks at it and then back at me as if to say, "Too much work." 🐶🐱
Lol 😂
I highly recommend the DT scalp massager. Much softer and gentler than other ones I’ve gotten
I have the silicone oven mits, from the Dollar Tree. So far I really like them. The baby bottle brushes are the only ones I really like. For the same reason...they're the only ones that fit in the bottle correctly. The other one we use on the sippy cups or our tumblers. I am still looking for the light with the magnet on. A friend of mine loves hers. I did too when I used it. I love the no show socks..
Thanks for sharing all the finds. May you have a Blessed day.
Love, love, love your reviews and your channel!!
I shop the Dollar Tree for a lot of things I need for the home.
The bottle brush cleaner is awesome and I like the fact that it has a suction cup so it's always right where I need it.
Baby powder and after bath powders are great and the prices can't be beat.
Dollar Tree has raised prices with most items costing $1.25. For me, it's still a better deal than what I would pay at Walmart.
Therefore, I will continue shopping at Dollar Tree.
Hello. DT also sells the lids for the mason jar coffee mugs.
LOL! TY for sparing us your fans testing the Poopourri!
Thanks for all your help by showing us the differences. I was going to order the bag sealer for an Easter Basket filler for my grown son. I will lookfor it at $Tree. Have a great week. Keep up the good work!
That’s a fun Easter idea! Thank you for sharing, I never would have thought of it. But I think my son might enjoy a bag sealer too ☺
Mine broke in half the 2nd time we used it!!! I wouldn't pay a penny for one!!
Looks like I need to make a Dollar Tree trip this week! Love your videos!
Thanks for this new video, Matt. Your work does not go unnoticed. I just wish the two Dollar Tree locations near my house had these items. Both stores have had so many (way more than usual) bare shelves and walls for about six weeks, and I wonder how they are staying in business. They look nothing like the well-stocked stores in your videos.
I always like your videos! Great comparisons of the items! Going to try some soon! At the end when you say “I love you” I always respond out loud and say, “I love you too” . ❤
Your deals are always great. You are part of my shopping day routine. Your upbeat attitude and dad jokes though always bring me a smile. tyty
Matt i have to agree with u about the DT magnifying glass. It's absolutely garbage. I used to get great ones at bed bath & beyond in the hba section
Thanks Matt! I love this so much!! I tend to order just about everything from Amazon. So excited to go to Dollar Tree in my new home town.
So helpful! I use their pizza pans since even pricier ones don't wear very well with continued use. Soap trays are in a two pack. Easy to use until gunky than toss!
Hi there! The bag sealer, least the one i got at Dollar Tree, broke part before it even attempted to work. They are cheaply maade. Save your $1.25 unless you like donating to dollar tree
Poor, poor quality.
Do not buy.
I bought one and it broke in half the 2nd time it was used!! They're total garbage 🗑
Matt, you did some terrific comparisons here, I'm ready to head out to Dollar Tree today!
great video! it would be helpful if you said what section of dt you found items in. even though they be diffent in each store, it would be a starting point. I have been to dt & finally located items but not where I expected it to be. thanks for your highlighting these terrific items.
Every DT is different.
If you cut a pool noodle to fit in the under bed show organizer it works fabulous
How do you attach the pool Noodle? Like sled runners? Or do you poke holes in the pool Noodle and insert spike heels?
More details, please?
@@lydiaruffin4695I’m assuming you put it inside as a “skeleton”.
Work literally: I use this product in several ways. My closets have no lights so I bought three one for each closet. I also have a new shed and I keep one in there as the days are getting shorter. This product has been very handy as putting in lights and these above-mentioned places can get pricey. Thank you.
Amazing deals! Thank you! ❤
Thanks for the tips! I will have to try some out. I do have to say the before you go spray is NOT comparable from my experience, and I won’t buy it again, unless they have reformulated it since I tried it. The one I tried, ended up, smelling like a cheap grannies, air freshener, which ended up being a little worse than the original scenario ha ha. I am eager to try to find the ole dupe. However, I did test the Cetaphil lotio dupe yesterday, and the lotion was spoiled and smelled really really old and icky. I had to hurry and try to get it off my hands. I was really disappointed. That being said, there have been products that I do purchase regularly because they are good dupes so these are all worth trying in my opinion!
Matt I always trust your reviews! And I love your comparisons. Your absolutely amazing 🤩 🌟☘️
You are absolutely terrific. Thank you so much for all your time, effort, dedication and research into presenting us with the very best deals. Thank you thank you thank you
Let me tell you what my cat did with that ‘tricky bowl’ that’s supposed to slow down their eating. I set it out filled with food, he looked up at me like ‘Are you even kidding?!”, took one paw flipped the bowl over spilling the food out and swatted the bowl out of the way- then went back to his regular eating. I looked at my husband and said, ‘Well, that was a waste of a dollar!”.
I would have put the food back in the bowl and if it kept happening the food would be put away. A hungry kitty doesn't play games. Its what people do also that have mice/ants, etc. The food is put out, and the pet either eats it right away or they are not hungry enough to eat. They get one more chance before bed and that's it.
That made me laugh!!! It sounds just like my bratty little fur babies!!!
Be careful feeding your cat with a plastic bowl. Most cats are allergic to plastic.
😂😂😂
I use a heavy ceramic slow-feeder for my cats. It's shaped like a large upside down bowl with holes in it, so they have to reach their paws in and pull out the kibbles piece by piece. It's large enough that three cats can gather around it at once, and heavy enough that they can't flip it over.
I give em soft raw food in their individual bowls, and fill up their slow-feeder with their measured morning kibble rations combined to keep them busy all morning. 😂
:) Thank you so much! Week after week you have never disappointed me! :)
Gotta love Dollar Tree and Matt ❤ A million thumbs up for all your hard work Matt 👍👍👍
Ive been shopping dollsr tree for years. I stick to the same trued and true things i knew thats work. Alot of dollar trees arent as well stocked as others. I noticed each dollar tree supplies different things then other dollar trees. I really appreciate this video. It blows my mind the price differences. Thank you!
I appreciate your reviews , sad thing is the dollar tree in our area rarely has any of the things that are reviewed, this time and other times as well. I go to purchase and leave disappointed as they never have any thing I go for.
They sell junk no refunds if product doesn't work. Poor service from managers. Amazon sells quality or they make it Right.
Your Dollar Tree store is neat and well stocked. The one in my neighborhood and the next location over are both not well stocked and always look as if a tornado went through.
You're ALWAYS The Guy who makes consumership(my word) comfy!! THANK YOU!! TRULY APPRECIATED!!😊😺🙋
I noticed that you showed in a previous video, the collapsible dog bowls. I am a feeder for feral cats. I have purchased several of these bowls and they have been able to remain all year round. They are very sturdy and stay in place. So far I’ve only had to replace one as it disappeared from the cat feeding station. Thank you so much for healing all these items. I enjoy it very much.
Every single video gets a subscribed thumbs up. I so look forward to your videos and have stealthed many a bargain because of you. Thank you for your hard work. This gal appreciates it.
Thank you Denise!
Thanks for all your comparison vids. I’m always disappointed at our small town DT. It’s only three aisles nestled in a Family Dollar, so doesn’t have any of these products. But even the one in a larger city 40 miles away isn’t as good as yours!
You are so cute and funny. I really appreciate the information you give out. Both informative and adorable. 😄
Thank you very much! It's fun to watch the findings that you show. I do go out to buy some of what you show. Keep up the great work!!!!
"I am pleased to announce that I will not be testing these as part of a live stream..." BAHAHAHA
My favorite part, too! Made me literally LOL 😂😂😂
Txs so much Matt I wish our DT’s here in Tampa Would get these things
Have a great night
I can’t imagine all the research and time you put into these videos. Thank you.
I simply love all your videos. all the great Dollar tree you show are amazing. unfortunately my dollar is not that neat and well stock. half those products i would not see even if I go to 6 dollar Tree stores in my city. I would have to drive a hour and 10 mins out of town and maybe i will find most of the products you show.
I don't buy any of these toxic personal care/ cleaning products ANYWHERE! But I like to hear about the other products, and just love the enthusiasm. 😊
I love Juncture products and the the large rectangle storage bag.
Thx for the video! We ❤u!
Your last aldi vid lead me to the $5 pet puzzle which my cat loves. Thx! Great deal

Thank you for helping us out Matt. I love your channel and the reviews you do. ❤
Thank you for this list. Love that you tried these products and gave feedback. Our family tried the Cetaphil wipes. They are quite rough for us. We don’t recommend. 😢
Hi. I have the soap dispensing brush. I use it to clean my cast iron pan. Works good. Thank you for the video. Have a nice day everyone. Oops almost forgot: I do not put soap in the brush (not good for cast iron).
Had me nervous there for a second Rose! Glad you don’t fill it with soap!
That's a great idea!
Thanks for what you do! I have a comment about the vick's vapor rub dup. It may not have the same % of active ingredients as Vick's so not as effective
The Dollar Tree version of refrigerator basket fits RV frig's perfectly
What is a RV fridge?
Frigs
I have the headlamp & use it when I walk my dog pre -Dawn &/ or night. Casts a nice light a few feet in front of me, so a good purchase IMO👍🏽. The Olay Regenerist dupe is good - I bought 10 jars😊
So sweet that your wife let you try out the make up brush cleaner using her brushes.
She had a bit of regret after we watched my footage back 😂
@@thedealguy😂😂😂
@@thedealguyyou were a tad bit zealous! But then, you love showing your followers how to save. 😊
The brush cleaners were meant to hold in your hand while cleaning the make up brush, not left sticking in the sink. The suction cups are for letting it drain! Just saying😄😄😄
@@thedealguy I imagine she did! I cracked up seeing how brutal you were with those brushes. I'm still chuckling (all in good fun), and I dont even wear make up. Thanks for all you do :)
