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!!!
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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
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 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.
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!
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)
I use painters tape all the time. Put a name on your lunch. I use it to mark clean on the dishwasher. Rinsed dishes ready for the dishwasher. Notes on food. I keep a roll in my kitchen for all kinds of temporary markings. It will even stay on in the freezer! Try it
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
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.
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.
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 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 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 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
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! 😆
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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!
“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.
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!!!
Agreed! I’m subscribed to both.
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😅

Great tip-Thanks👍
Yes! Easier to work with for that application instead of duct tape.
Good idea
Everytime I watch one of your videos I head to Dollar Tree, first the local one and sometimes to another one 17 miles further.
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.

Cocoa butter not ointment.

😆
You're a stationery girl after my own heart!! 📗🖊🗂 Lol...Uncle Rico!! 🤣🧨
I am a retired teacher. Dollar Tree was my go to place to buy supplies.
I love the Space Tape! It has disappeared from the shelves at our Dollar Tree.
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
Hey Vivian! Thanks for the laughs and all you do! ❤

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.
How long have the command strips lasted?
I’ve put shelves up with the command strips and they’ve lasted for years

The little metal skull lights would be a nice party favor for the kid's Halloween parties.
I believe that we still need to write things down.
Uncle Rico is awesome!!!! I still keep everything written down for the very reasons you mentioned.

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. 😊
Forty minutes of Vivian. Yes please. 🥂
I loved color bath foam back in the 90s. Blast from the past!
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 use my vacation toothbrush for cleaning afterwards
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.

I need to write things down. It helps me remember. Typing isn't the same.❤
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.
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.
The foldable travel toothbrush would be great to take/leave at work. I use Dollar Tree tea light candles in my wax warmer.
I have used a lotion thing for years. Hint. Make sure you replace it or clean it regularly with peroxide. Hang to dry.
Vivian, love your reviews. You have a great sense of humor😉
I still use a date book and write down everything
“I could’ve gone pro…” Classic Uncle Rico ♥️🤣🤣

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.

Napolean Dynamite being your favorite movie checks out! 🤣💜
🐼 Big Panda Bear Hugs from a 70 yr old grandma in Texas, USA and by the way l'm subscribed and l hit Like. 🐼 ❤
Napoleon Dynamite is iconicccc!!! Tina come get your dinner!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Always use your orange or lemon peels down your garbage disposal for a fresh scent. Use ice cubes to sharpen it up
I ❤alien tape 😊 especially as a crafter 😊
It’s the ‘calm down’ for me! 😂😂
😆
The address book is perfect for just writing in plumbers, electric company, heck I'd keep a separate one just for restaurants and comments
I love Napoleon Dynamite too!!
I freaking love you 😂 how you laugh at yourself. I watch every one of your videos. You are hilarious
Yes, writing things is good. Stuff in the ether can disappear.
I still write notes for back up.
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.
Use the cheap one to decorate like jewels, glitter lots of stuff on your kids walls or yours on your mirrors
Love your laugh
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.
I still write things down and yes I do have a phone book that I bought at the dollar store years ago
Im old school, too! Write it down on paper!
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.

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
Did you get your hair done…. I LOVE IT❣️❣️❣️
I like your funny attitude & laugh.
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!
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 🥰
I have used the facial wash it really washes and really cleans your face. Plus, it moisturizes your face.
You have the coolest personality Vivian!
The velcro command strips tear my walls up really bad!
I really enjoyed your video. You seem like a very nice person. Have a great day. 😊
I’m here for it all!!! Your amazing
Great video mix!!
I love the same movie. Best ever!
I LOVE foam soaps. That foam soap not being moldable would be even better!
I've got those folding brushes thry are great I love them. I also got the toilet stamps they worked real.well
💄 💄 love erborian as well!! Thank you for all your recommendations!!! Always love watching your videos and really enjoyed vlogmas!!
Nope I’m taking my electric toothbrush! My teeth feel like garbage without it, so that toothbrush goes everywhere with me😂😂
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 write things down ❣️
My cousin has the dollar tree version in his toilets and it works really well, it didn't melt quickly
Put glow in the dark things in/under direct light to check for immediate glow in the dark effect 👍🏽
The glitter bath bombs would be fun for an at home pedicure.
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.
Uncle Rico! Love that movie too. I've got bow skills.
Not once but twice all contacts were lost from phone. Thank goodness had most written down. New ones didn't get around to jotting down were lost 🙄
Five! Vivian Heads!!!
Eat some ham, Tina. lololol You are so funny -- I love it! God bless you.
I really enjoy watching your reviews
