I so agree with you on unsealed product. Two Dollar Tree trips ago, I saw an older lady with no shame. She was testing all of the unsealed nail polishes. Once a product is opened and exposed to air, the countdown on expiration starts, not to mention any germs she put into the product and the fact that she used some of it. I hate buying something I think is new/sealed only to find out it is not. You never know who messed with it. That is how they drugged the Tylenol in the 80s and why Tylenol now has to come sealed! Not to mention the polishes were $1.25! At that price, lady, just get several. Then, you can regift the ones that don't work as long as you tell the person you gift it to that it was swatched (not leave the swatched product for the unsuspecting buyer behind you). Drives me crazy.
Vivian, you and The Deal Guy have the best videos! Why? Both of you give your honest evaluations with a great deal of humor. It’s great to get realistic opinions and a good laugh at the same time. Thanks!!!
Napolitano Dynamite! My fav comedy! Uncle Rico tryin' to make his biceps look big by folding his hands underneath his arms....too funny! Vivian, yur personality is why I watch yur channel rather than other dollar store channels. FYI.
Lol me too. I have a small notepads all over for quick jotting. Then I have to remember which one has the note I need at the moment. Keeps me on my toes😅
The dollar store painters tape is great for labeling things temporarily. I use it in the kitchen to label my tupperware leftovers or jars of food. Also, to label holiday boxes that go in the attic.
I bought my lotion applicator when i got my back tattoo. As a single girl, i had no one to put some AD ointment on my fresh ink. This worked like a charm.
THANK YOU Vivian, for speaking plainly about the "flushable" wipes. These things have put many a plumber's kids through school. These things, along with pouring grease down the sink have caused more disharmony between couples than any thing else except money.
Merch idea for ya - " You paid 1.25 everybody calm down" absolutely needs to be on a shirt/hoodie... hell put it on everything! I'll be the first to sign up for mine lol Also omg I LOVE Uncle Rico!!! 😂 Vivian we totally have to be besties!! 🥰🥳🇨🇦
The cord cover is worth it! Those things are usually 5 bucks, and they do protect your cord. You slide them over the end that goes into your phone, not the charger plug.
You are so right about 'flushable' wipes. Sewers and water treatment plants are clogged with those things costing tens of thousands of dollars every year. Never flush them.
The toilet cleaning stamps need to be applied up under the rim of the toilet where the water runs over it to keep the bowl clean, and that way you don't have to look at the "blob" either
I used the 20lb command strips to hang a door mirror. They are the Velcro and I used 10. Its does not move at all and holds up against the dog rubbing on it. I have tried the dollar store and other brands, they work for very light things but I would not trust them for anything else. Command strips are worth it.
In property mgt for years and you know how some people are like; “I do what I want!!” Okeedokee, then pick up a newspaper, you’ve backed up the sewer lines waaay down past the bldg next to you. Lol try to dodge the backhoes with your u-haul on the way out 🤣🤣🤣 And just an fyi, cat litter does the same thing. You’re welcome)
The double sided tape was wonderful. I wanted to see what ceramic tile would look as a back splash so I put it up with the double sided tape and it did a great job of holding.
I have a iPhone and an iPad. Their cords are similar but not interchangeable, so I use one of those cord covers on one of them so I can tell them apart.
I buy milk on a shelf. For 125 at walmart they are 4 dollars. I buy decorations for my porch for different holidays I buy kitchen towels pot holders. And i buy the mint cleaner. I love the smell
Those little notepads you featured; I have about 10 of them! I love that they are sturdier than paper, and I can write a grocery list on it and take just the card with me. I cram one in my pocketbook to right down inspiration, ideas, wishes and wants that strike me when I'm away from home. I will buy these all day long!
I use the gentle cleanser to remove makeup before using my actual face cleanser to make it stretch. The creamy texture really helps get the makeup off without over-washing.
I can honesty tell you that I didn't buy any of these products. If it isn't Vivian Tries approved I don't purchase it!!! Thanks girl for the recap video. 🤗🤗🥰🥰❤❤🌹🌹
I use wedges of citrus fruits freeze in ice cube trays. Then I put squirts of dish soap, baking soda drop about 4 ice cubes and turn on garbage disposal with a light stream of cold water until all has been ground up
You're so wise Vivian. No matter what those wipes say they DO NOT DISSOLVE and are most definitely not toilet safe. We know because we have tenants and had to call the plumber many times over the course of just 1 year! The world should know the truth lest pay the very expensive consequences. lol Love you Viv! 🧡
I ordered a lotion applicator from Amazon when I had shoulder replacement surgery. I hate I paid a lot more, but Dollar Tree didn’t have them then. It works great. Mine has a bit of a curve to the handle, which I like and the pad looks thicker than the DT one. It also doubles as a gentle back scratcher! And I do wash mine after each use so I don’t get fungalitis. I did find the mesh body scrubber on a handle from Dollar Tree, and that is very helpful. I want my scrubber to last and not grow fungalitis, so I soak it in diluted vinegar every couple of weeks. The travel toothbrush: soak that in full strength hydrogen peroxide and save for future trips.
Double-sided tape: I tried the DT version to hold my car license plate where the plastic screw had broken and it's worked beautifully , and been tested by driving and some fairly hard rain, plus fog moisture.
Dollar tree is awesome. The Olay products are more expensive here. The tube is $18.⁹⁹, the day cream is $39.⁹⁹ and the night cream $40.⁹⁹. Those prices were at our local Rite Aid. The Rite Aid stores are closed or closing now, my local store is closed now. I remember the prices because I was comparing prices and went into shock seeing those prices. 😳💀 Lol
Then we are DEFINITELY BFF’s! My 15 y/o even loves that movie. We met the actor who plays Pedro in downtown Nashville several years ago. He is SO friendly! He actually asked ME for a hug! 😆
When I was in high school band I used those little index card books all the time. We called them our “dot books”. Used them to write my coordinates from the marching show and put it in my pocket for easy access during practice
Septic guy said they make bank pumping wipes out of tanks. I was lucky and didn't get charged this time and bought a bidet the next day😂 no thank-you....I am not paying double because the kids want to get extra clean!
My husband travels a lot for work I get to tag along a lot I have a whole makeup bag full of those toothbrushes they are awesome like you said they do the trick
I have been wondering about designing a lotion application for my back. I am alone, single. That is the only issue I have in the winter which dry skin, and I cannot touch/reach my back! I have been using an extra bath sponge with the handle to put lotion on my back, I had no idea they had these in the dollar tree store. I will be looking for them hundred percent thank you so much. I hope they have them in mine.
Pumice is a naturally-occurring stone of volcanic origin. Whether the ones they sell in stores are natural or not... I dunno. But I guess it makes sense if they crumble into sand. Because it was super heated it winds up full of airbubbles and that makes it pretty good at scraping off dead skin. I've used it on my heels when they were super dry.
Hi Vivian, for the pumice stone, you have to wet your skin first. I use mine in the shower. It doesn't work if you don't use it on wet skin. I use mine for my feet. It's awesome because i walk barefoot all the time! 😆 So for your elbows just use it in the shower. 💜 It can get wet and scrub scrub your elbows softly and it will work great! Thank you so much for your uploads & laughs! 💜✌
The one really legit use for those "flushable" wipes? Conerts and festivals where it's gonna be porta-potties. They're just going to dump the whole thing after, and I know that anytime I have to step foot into one, I want to wipe my whole body down after. And then dip myself in a vat of sanitizer.
Girl, I had to look up who Uncle Rico is. I forgot! But because of your silly giggle, I had to remind myself. Yes, I love that movie, too. I especially love Uncle Rico's hair. It looks like a wig on sideways. Lol.
I have been trying to find that lotion applicator at one of my dollar trees but cannot find it. I need pain creams applied to my back where I cannot reach my daughter is allergic to it so can't get the places that I can't and Walmart want a ton for it and you have to order them online they are not in the store.
I had those command strips with the velcro holding up a painting on my wall. It nearly brained the cat when it fell off (it held for months and months, I have no clue why it suddenly fell).
About the phone charger cord, mine was *slightly* cracked near the port where you plug it into your phone. It was my car charger. Well I was running errands with my 2yr old & 4 yr old. We were stopped, and I happened to look at it. It started on fire right in front of me. Thank God i just happened to look at it as it happened. Bought all new chargers where there's a protective bendable material coating that part that alleges it can bend 30,000+ times and be fine. But yeah... it's a real thing.
I'm almost positive that the shark cable holder is to keep your cables from falling off a desk. You put the shark onto the side that you're going to plug into your phone and then the shark is supposed to hold the cable on your desk. If you can unplug your cable and lay it on the table without gravity pulling it to the floor, then this product isn't for you. But once you unplug your charger and it falls behind/to the side of your desk, then this product is for you!
“You paid $1.25, everybody calm down” should be on a tshirt
🤣🤣🤣
Also for a tee: "I'm not that kind of doctor "
Do not EVER,EVER flush those wipes. My son-in-law is a plumber and makes $ from those "flushable" wipes.
Agree, plumber friend told me long ago, even the "flushable"ones....never flush them!
Unless you have a country home with Clean out sewer pumped. It doesn't plug up your toilets. Great idea just put them in a special garbage bag!!😮😮😮😮
That's what I was told years ago.
Absolutely correct, no matter what the package says.
We didn't think what happened to other people would happen to us. And then it did. Twice.
I so agree with you on unsealed product. Two Dollar Tree trips ago, I saw an older lady with no shame. She was testing all of the unsealed nail polishes.

Agreed! I’m subscribed to both.
Everytime I watch one of your videos I head to Dollar Tree, first the local one and sometimes to another one 17 miles further.
Napolitano Dynamite! My fav comedy! Uncle Rico tryin' to make his biceps look big by folding his hands underneath his arms....too funny!
Vivian, yur personality is why I watch yur channel rather than other dollar store channels. FYI.
🤗😘thank you
GIRL!!!! I am ALL about the stationary items! I write literally everything down, It's how I live! Love this, you are the best!
Lol me too. I have a small notepads all over for quick jotting. Then I have to remember which one has the note I need at the moment. Keeps me on my toes😅
I'm Old, I still write ✍🏾 things down ❤❤
The dollar store painters tape is great for labeling things temporarily. I use it in the kitchen to label my tupperware leftovers or jars of food. Also, to label holiday boxes that go in the attic.
Great tip-Thanks👍
Yes! Easier to work with for that application instead of duct tape.
Good idea
I bought my lotion applicator when i got my back tattoo. As a single girl, i had no one to put some AD ointment on my fresh ink. This worked like a charm.
Cocoa butter not ointment.

How long have the command strips lasted?
I’ve put shelves up with the command strips and they’ve lasted for years
I am a retired teacher. Dollar Tree was my go to place to buy supplies.
In property mgt for years and you know how some people are like; “I do what I want!!” Okeedokee, then pick up a newspaper, you’ve backed up the sewer lines waaay down past the bldg next to you. Lol try to dodge the backhoes with your u-haul on the way out 🤣🤣🤣

Hey Vivian! Thanks for the laughs and all you do! ❤
I agree with you. NEVER FLUSH ANY WIPES Hugs 🤗

It's in all soaps, detergents, shampoos unless you use a natural soap.
@@christiehutchins1597wrong product 😅
I love the Space Tape! It has disappeared from the shelves at our Dollar Tree.
I buy milk on a shelf. For 125 at walmart they are 4 dollars.
I buy decorations for my porch for different holidays
I buy kitchen towels pot holders.
And i buy the mint cleaner. I love the smell
You're a stationery girl after my own heart!! 📗🖊🗂 Lol...Uncle Rico!! 🤣🧨
I believe that we still need to write things down.
Those little notepads you featured; I have about 10 of them! I love that they are sturdier than paper, and I can write a grocery list on it and take just the card with me. I cram one in my pocketbook to right down inspiration, ideas, wishes and wants that strike me when I'm away from home. I will buy these all day long!
I need to write things down. It helps me remember. Typing isn't the same.❤

I can honesty tell you that I didn't buy any of these products. If it isn't Vivian Tries approved

I use wedges of citrus fruits freeze in ice cube trays. Then I put squirts of dish soap, baking soda drop about 4 ice cubes and turn on garbage disposal with a light stream of cold water until all has been ground up
I still use a date book and write down everything
Uncle Rico is awesome!!!! I still keep everything written down for the very reasons you mentioned.
You're so wise Vivian. No matter what those wipes say they DO NOT DISSOLVE and are most definitely not toilet safe. We know because we have tenants and had to call the plumber many times over the course of just 1 year! The world should know the truth lest pay the very expensive consequences. lol Love you Viv! 🧡
Forty minutes of Vivian. Yes please. 🥂
Always use your orange or lemon peels down your garbage disposal for a fresh scent. Use ice cubes to sharpen it up
I dont have a dollar tree and i still love watching Vivien review her dupes 😂
Use the wipes for cleaning the car and to clean your hands if you don't like hand sanitizer while out but do not throw in the toilet.
The BPure face cleanser is amazing.I use it twice a day.A great dupe.No rinse cleansing,gets makeup right off.A+
I love ALL of Dr. Teals products they work fabulous.
Thanks for making me laugh today Vivian. 😊

The address book is perfect for just writing in plumbers, electric company, heck I'd keep a separate one just for restaurants and comments
Double-sided tape: I tried the DT version to hold my car license plate where the plastic screw had broken and it's worked beautifully , and been tested by driving and some fairly hard rain, plus fog moisture.
I loved color bath foam back in the 90s. Blast from the past!

Yes, writing things is good. Stuff in the ether can disappear.
I still write notes for back up.
Vivian, love your reviews. You have a great sense of humor😉
I ❤alien tape 😊 especially as a crafter 😊
I have used a lotion thing for years. Hint. Make sure you replace it or clean it regularly with peroxide. Hang to dry.
The chip bag sealer has to be moved SLOWLY!!! It's NOT 🔥 hot enough to melt a seal moving it so fast!!! 😫
Then we are DEFINITELY BFF’s! My 15 y/o even loves that movie. We met the actor who plays Pedro in downtown Nashville several years ago. He is SO friendly! He actually asked ME for a hug! 😆
Cord protector animals were a hit about 4 years ago at Walmart. I got several for friends that matched their pets or the animals they liked.
The foldable travel toothbrush would be great to take/leave at work. I use Dollar Tree tea light candles in my wax warmer.
The velcro command strips tear my walls up really bad!
When I was in high school band I used those little index card books all the time. We called them our “dot books”. Used them to write my coordinates from the marching show and put it in my pocket for easy access during practice
Did you get your hair done…. I LOVE IT❣️❣️❣️
I still write things down and yes I do have a phone book that I bought at the dollar store years ago
Septic guy said they make bank pumping wipes out of tanks. I was lucky and didn't get charged this time and bought a bidet the next day😂 no thank-you....I am not paying double because the kids want to get extra clean!
My husband travels a lot for work I get to tag along a lot I have a whole makeup bag full of those toothbrushes they are awesome like you said they do the trick
“I could’ve gone pro…” Classic Uncle Rico ♥️🤣🤣
I have used the facial wash it really washes and really cleans your face. Plus, it moisturizes your face.
🐼 Big Panda Bear Hugs from a 70 yr old grandma in Texas, USA and by the way l'm subscribed and l hit Like. 🐼 ❤
Nope I’m taking my electric toothbrush! My teeth feel like garbage without it, so that toothbrush goes everywhere with me😂😂
It’s the ‘calm down’ for me! 😂😂
😆
I love Napoleon Dynamite too!!
Vivian
You are such a joy to watch! I love how you talk about the products and are real about them all❤
Have a Happy Thanksgiving 🍁

It separates my phone charger from everyone else's. 😂. I love mine.
Napoleon Dynamite is iconicccc!!! Tina come get your dinner!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Use the cheap one to decorate like jewels, glitter lots of stuff on your kids walls or yours on your mirrors
I freaking love you 😂 how you laugh at yourself. I watch every one of your videos. You are hilarious
Napolean Dynamite being your favorite movie checks out! 🤣💜
Vivian you are the coolest , it has been a minute since you were on., don’t take so long to post , you are the best to watch 🥰

Because it was super heated it winds up full of airbubbles and that makes it pretty good at scraping off dead skin. I've used it on my heels when they were super dry.
The lotion thing is good but I saw a woman using a small long handle paint roller to get to her back
The glitter bath bombs would be fun for an at home pedicure.
Hi Vivian, for the pumice stone, you have to wet your skin first. I use mine in the shower. It doesn't work if you don't use it on wet skin.
I use mine for my feet. It's awesome because i walk barefoot all the time! 😆
So for your elbows just use it in the shower. 💜 It can get wet and scrub scrub your elbows softly and it will work great!
Thank you so much for your uploads & laughs! 💜✌
You have the coolest personality Vivian!
Place the wipes in the garbage. I use baby wipes (Huggies) then you can throw out the garbage.
I use those foldable toothbrushes when I travel. I run them through the dishwasher when I get home.
😂 I lost it with the cards yes they always say the same I get them all the time crazy how 99% of the time they are very accurate
The one really legit use for those "flushable" wipes? Conerts and festivals where it's gonna be porta-potties. They're just going to dump the whole thing after, and I know that anytime I have to step foot into one, I want to wipe my whole body down after.
And then dip myself in a vat of sanitizer.

I've been thinking about what I can hack to get lotion on my back. Did to know this was a thing. Thanks Vivian!
I’m here for it all!!! Your amazing
Apple products NEED that cord protector...every. single. Apple. Product. 😂
I have been looking for the lotion applicator & nahhh not around where I live that I can find. Love the space tape from dollar tree.
I can never find the cool things Vivian finds at her DT. Can you try the wax bars?
The coasters was a cute stocking stuffers for my teenagers grandsons. Think they will get a kick out of it😅. For only $1.25.😅😅😅
I've got those folding brushes thry are great I love them. I also got the toilet stamps they worked real.well
I love the same movie. Best ever!
