Like i said you got brainwash to even think using china items are safe. Thay are not safe. 99% of dollar store products will end up in garbage > landfill
Some really super ideas. I love the place mat pillows and the plastic placemats in the fridge. Well done. I went into the Dollar Tree near me and was blown away by the people following Covid protocols and the exemplary service from the gentleman at the register. Watching him almost scientifically pack the customer ahead of me was unreal. He ended by handing her the Graham cracker pie crust so it wouldn’t break. Any supermarket wouldn’t care. I had a similar experience in Family Dollar today, sane company. The cashier came out from behind the register to show me where everything was. Well done!!! I will ll be back, shopping in your stores is a pleasure.
And mine are absolute dumps. Poor management and a turnstile of managers and always understaffed and downright filthy. In other areas they are beautiful! Make me want to drive out of state to shop!
I really like the placemat idea. My new house has glass upper cabinets and bright colored mats would look great . Also I HATE wiping out the fridge shelves-mats would be great there.
I was just there this past weekend dropped 50 bucks easy!! Love it!! I line my fridge with the long flat foil pans easy to clean!! also I use the baskets in my personal bathroom!! 😍🤩♥️
Oh. That is a great idea about the foil pans. Also makes looking for stuff in the back by just pulling it out some. Thank you for this great idea. Heading there this weekend. FYI. Hope they are not made in China.
I live next to a flower shop. The small wreaths START at $85 and go up. A plain, undecorated Christmas wreath...just the greens...starts at $50. $300 for a beautiful, well-made arrangement is not unusual.
Moved to apt. in ver old home. Many doors had about a 1/2" clearance to the floor (must have all been carpeted at some time), which caused a lot of draft. Instead of paying $10+ for those draft dogers, I bought a couple pool noodles, cut them to length, sliced lengthwise on one side, then slipped the noodle around the bottom of the door...no more drafts.
@@---nj7hl I love my pool noodles!!! I have them everywhere I can find a place for them, even made a hernia pillow for my preggy friend lol. Love all the colors and sizes. Great at the bottom of a dried or fake flower arrangement
Thank you for these ideas. They'll come in handy with the spring coming up.

The little organize bins very frustrating. I cant never find a combination that works perfectly for any of my drawers. So I bought a couple foam board, glue gun and a exacto knife. Once you figure out the measurement, sky is the limit.

Such great ideas! I especially love the one for the fridge. Just went to buy some items at the $1 store to organize my makeup collection. It's a great place to find some pretty things to make your clutter like neat and lovely.

Don't use hot glue for the felt piece throw. When you wash the throw, it'll fall apart. Instead, either sew the pieces together or use permanent fabric glue.
Don't use hot glue for weighty glass. It is a temporary bond at best and will quickly fail. Hot glue works best on porous surfaces and will not tolerate being outdoors for long if used on smooth surfaces.
redcrimson I'm no expert but what is your end use? Kinda depends on the environment (heat, cold, moisture) and how much stress it will need to endure. How about Loctite Glass Glue? I've never used it but it's worth a try. One thing you might consider is using fabric as a base for gluing the stones and then wrap that decorated fabric around the glass. Depends on the shape I imagine, but I decorated an "up light" that way (minus the stones). Remember that you'll eventually need to clean your project. Will it hold up to washing or will you need to use a spray cleaner like the stuff I use to clean "silk" flowers? -- or maybe just a dusting will suffice. The Loctite says it's safe for the dishwasher. If true, that's pretty tough stuff.
A tip for hot glue: Say you want to glue together two stainless steel spoons or other smooth materials. If you lay some glue on one spoon and then press another onto it, it will stick for a while but won't take much stress or big temperature swings such as outdoors in New England. But if you wrap the glue around the two objects it will hold far better. Even if the glue bond fails, the spoons will still hold because they are "trapped" in the glue. Yes, the glue will show but you can cover it with findings or a "silk" flower etc. Edit: for something like the above you would use High Temp glue. Never low temp - which is more flexible and softens with heat faster (such as direct sunlight).
I used different sized plastic boxes to organize our camper. I attached them to the walls with command hooks then hung them through the holes in the baskets. Can't put heavy things in them but it did a great job. I'm so proud of it!😌
iLOVE the Dollar Stores.Sometimes u can really find expensive looking things for your home. Also,when going to the movies,we go there and load my purse up with goodies instead of having to pay 5 bux for a damn box of candies.
I thought so too but unless you glue them in place they just slide down to the bottom of the hangers, no matter how tightly you wrap them. I had 200 hangers to do and almost all had this problem soon after I did this. I should have glued them when I first did it. I didn't have time or energy to mess with it again. I just went to Walmart and bought thin space saving hangers that are covered in a velvety material. Now no slippage and I have more room in my closet!
I Love it, thanks for sharing. Another reason I love inexpensive things is because I love to change and move things around when I am feeling some kinda way, it helps me focus and stay on track. This is one small thing that makes me a bit happier. Life is good when you know the truth and stay in your lane. 👍👍👍👍
When I watch videos like this, I only expect to get about 1-2 ideas I can use. Seems (by comments) that people expect to find MOST ideas will work for them. Of course not. I don't understand such high expectations on the part of people, and I don't get the critical remarks when the ideas are not "life-changing" for some viewers. What do you expect from a FREE video? Just enjoy them for what they are; and stop being so critical. How about just mentioning the ONE idea that appeals to you, and if none do, just move on and watch a different video. I NEVER click on "dislike" for ANY video I watch. I'm not so narcissistic as to expect that ANY video is "bad" just because it doesn't appeal to me.
I make my own French fries. When I'm done I filter the oil through a coffee filter. It takes a few minutes but it gets out all the particles. Vegetable oil by itself will last long for months or more than a year. But if you use it to cook food with it will turn bad. What most people don't know is that it's not the oil that spoils but rather it's the food particles in the oil. Filter out the particles and the oil will last much longer. You can use the same oil 10-20 times before you have to throw it away. You don't have to throw it away until it either turns dark in color or starts to smell and that should take many months. You can also use coffee filters to filter out undesirable particles from almost any water or oil based liquid.
i worked at this restaurant where the chef had a car he had parked in the back for a few years he wasnt using well apparently it did not run on gas but fryer oil.. weird and pretty cool i thought i dont know the process of how the oil was treated to make the little car run but the story was real, he said the only problem was that the car while running would smell like french fries lol
Hi, everyone. This isn't a Dollar store idea, but it's very useful and practical: If you are like me, you have a drawer filled with address stickers...some accurate, some not, but about 3.45M of them! I recently found a great use for them: as precut pieces of clear sticky tape, (i.e. Scotch tape). Of course, its not for public things, just the scads of uses for clear sticky tape in the home. I started using it shyly, but then more and more and am delighted each time I find an additional application. And, these labels are strong. I used to shred them, and still do with some, but now I have a piece of tape all ready to peel off the paper! Hope this helps others out there. : )
LOVE me some Dollar Tree time. I already use several of these Dollar Store ideas. Place mat fridge liners, Dollar Tree little rectangular baskets hung with Command Hooks (Wal-Mart) on back of door spice rack & storage for sponges, hot melt fragrance wax for wax melt burners, pencils etc.
Some are just small stores, we have one now thats in another town and it's frigging huge, 10 times the size, like a supermarket, well a smaller one hah! And they have more and better stuff, same company though. Just watch, things are now made for the dollar store, cat treats at Walmart are actually cheaper because you get more, and Easter grass, like 88 cents at Walmart. I bought the plastic shoe boxes and found better ones at Walmart for 88 cents. But the BIG dollar tree had bigger ones and nicer ones for a dollar. Just like when you grocery shop, the price on the left in orange is by volume, so you can compare sizes, guess what though, bigger used to always mean cheaper. NO MORE, they know this and that most don't bother looking at volume prices, since they are all measure using the same, gallon, lb, etc, the higher price is instantly the worst price, and frequently i am finding manufacturers charging more per volume in LARGE sizes not smaller. Like a small ketchup might cost less per volume than the bigger one, so LOOK PEOPLE DON'T BE IGNORANT. They are ripping you off, like a lb of coffee is now 13 oz, and 5 lbs of sugar is 3 or 4 lbs now, same price, LESS PRODUCT. Don't be tricked.
When I lived in California we had a GIANT dollar tree that had anything. When we moved our dollar tree here is tiny. I had to have a special order delivered to the store just to get enough of the item I needed.
Last Christmas I bought the clear dinner plates to make pretty cookie trays for gifts. Decoupage fabric to bottom of plate and let dry. I liked the smaller bread plate size for candy holders too. You can even get dishwasher safe decoupage. These gifts were so pretty plus inexpensive!
Wow, Who know! Last month cleaned my refrigerator and cover the glass shelf with plate mats from the Dollar Tree. I used the table cloth as a liner for my dog and place on the deck with training pads for my dog. Maybe, I should do a video.
Man, I feel like the dollar tree where this person lives is on point! The one I go to just has a bunch of crappy plastic things, boxes from inventory the employess never put away all up in the aisles, and random ass children running around...smh
Seriously, I want to know what MASSIVE Dollar Tree she has and with such good quality items. The ones at the 4 stores nearest me don't have half this stuff. And the stuff we have is all thin and flimsy and cheap. I think some of this was really from nicer stores she's passing off as Dollar Tree. Like the comforter storage bags - hers looks think and completely clear. The one I bought was so thin it ripped when I was just unfolding it.
you can also accordion-fold dollar store table runners, neckties and socks to make the ring holder tray. anything long and silky. no cotton batting necessary. you can hot glue the accordion to the bottom of the tray for stability if you want.
U can also use the small foam curlers that look like a mini pool noodle and cover with fabric or contact p and cut them to the size of small boxes and put together in a larger box
Dried spray glue leaves enough grip to keep your clothes from falling off. Just wipe your hangers with alcohol or windex, let it completely dry, then spray glue along the top edges of your hanging hangers (not the hook). Let dry before use, or your clothes might not want to let go. Also, make sure you are upwind of the spray so you don't get any on you or inhale it.
Thank you !!!! I find a lot of the ideas fun for young teens to make a few dollars at craft/veggie/lula roe outside events. This is fabulous and gives kids earning potential / good funding ideas for young athletes. With parental supervision, I think it is much better then kids standing outside of stores begging.
Great tips. I have used some of the small bins to un- clutter draws and as silverware seperator. Also for almost anything in pantry to keep things organized.
Thank you, actually some ideas are pretty good, I like the dollar tree store, they have stuff that is useful. Now if you don't like the store just don't go! why being so nasty.
I thought so too but unless you glue them in place they just slide down to the bottom of the hangers, no matter how tightly you wrap them. I had 200 hangers to do and almost all had this problem soon after I did this. I should have glued them when I first did it. I didn't have time or energy to mess with it again.

I buy tons of stuff at dollar stores. I used to pay $10 for a package of ten razors of a major brand. Each razor would last about a week so that's a dollar a week. But then I tried dollar store razors and paid just one dollar for the same number of razors. Now they won't last as long. One razor is good for about 2-3 days. So this means I pay about 20 cents per week for my razors now. I used to pay $12 for a gallon jug of laundry detergent. Now I pay $1 for a half gallon jug. It takes about twice as much detergent per load but that means that I'm paying about a third as much as I used to per load. Not everything works out but most things do. I paid $12 for a set of plates, bowls and glasses. Walmart wanted $20 for nearly the identical set. I pay $1 for a three liter bottle of soda. Compare that to $1.79 for a two liter bottle of soda elsewhere. I pay $1 for 30 fresh eggs. Elsewhere it's $1.50. I pay $1 for a 15 oz bottle of shampoo there instead of $5 at Walmart. I pay $1 for a tube of toothpaste that I would pay $3 for elsewhere and that's a major brand. Deoderant is $1 at the dollar store. At Walmart the exact same brand is $3. I bought a dishpan for $1 at dollar tree. Walmart wanted $10. I bought my dictionary for $1 there. At Walmart it's $5.99. You get the idea.
Nunaya Business: Here's how to pay absolutely ZERO for deodorant: Ingredients are from your kitchen: Arm & Hammer Baking Soda & Argo Corn Starch. Sift half of each ingredient into a bowl...stir them together well to get them really mixed up...make sure all the lumps are out. Then get a plastic bowl with a good lid, pour your deodorant in it, and put it in the bathroom, and use after every shower. This came from my Allergy Doctor about 10 years ago, because I was allergic to all commercial deodorant's for years...red, hot, burning itching skin which would bleed. With the baking soda & cornstarch, I've never had a problem...and I've saved a lot of money. If you don't know about baking soda, then google it...you'll be amazed about this pure product from the earth. And don't for back in the day, the corn starch was used on the babies little butt at diapering time. That goes way back to the 1800's before expensive baby powder was invented. I used it on my five babies in the 50's. Oh, two more things...I use a Cottage Cheese Container for the mixture...and I take some toilet paper and fold it into a thick pad and use that as my "Powder Puff" because in all these years, even though I keep saying, I should buy one, I guess there isn't any need, or I'm too cheap to spend the dollar. Anyway, when the TP gets all worn and torn, I just throw it away and make another pad, which is a lot cleaner. Try it out...you may be surprised. Oh...I buy all my Cross Word Puzzle books at the Dollar store. Other stores want $3.99 and up for those. I go through two books per week...at my age, it keeps my mind sharp. I'm looking at the underside of ninety these days.
@@ethelnewberry151 thank you for this i used the baking power on is own and after 3 days of rubing it on my armpits they got irritaded now i want to give it another try with the cornstach and that will be better 😊
Get rid of plastic, we've been told over the last few years. 2020 arrives, we need plastic for protection from Covid-19... It's not being wasted if people are making use of it!!
Sounds like you should do videos. I think she is trying to be helpful. Why don’t we all start appreciating each other even if you don’t agree, instead of criticizing people. You don’t have to have an entire house full of plastic. Not all people can afford more. Be kind to each other.
Erdie5 They are talking about the fridges that have those grate type shelves. But the fridge mat is still a bad idea. Blocking the shelves will block the air flow in the fridge.
Erdie5 How would it be harder to clean? You remove the frudge mat clean at sink and return it. Its better than kneeling to clean the shelves. Plus it will be easier to clean spills that have warmed up, it's hard to clean spills that are cold.
For my daughter's 6th Birthday party we took the kids to our local McDonald's . They each picked which kids meal they wanted and after went to the play area where they had different activities. Instead of goodie bags we went to the dollar store across the street and gave each kid three dollars to pick out any 3 things they wanted. They had a great time picking out what they wanted . It was such an easy but fun day and it only cost 50.00 dollars and change for her Birthday.
no no no! If your fridge has wire shelves, it is designed for wire shelves. Blocking them will effect the air flow and you will have to replace the fridge much sooner.
Kerry Day Jeanne-the plastic fridge things mentioned are not solid people. Your air will circulate fine. I’ve used these especially in the fruit and veggie drawer. They keep things fresh and they never get moldy because air is circulating around them. Why do y’all not read the descriptions thoroughly before you make snarky comments?
This is a wonderful video. I never would have thought of some of this and it's so great. I'm getting those refrigerator mats and labels today. Life just got a whole lot easier for me: thank you so much!
Better than the stale popcorn my boyfriend's mom gave me. I ate two pieces. He ate more and got sick. At least with the utensils with contact paper, you could remove the contact paper and use them.
My 3 favorites have to be the placemats for the refrigerator shelves. The glass is a pain to clean when cold and if the fridge is full I don't always want to remove everything so I can wash the shelf. The next is the coffee filter idea! I hate that my good dishes can get scratched from laying on top of each other and the coffee filters as separators are a cheap solution. The last would have to be the shower caddy treat solution. Brilliant idea!
These are some crazy ideas. Paint a fifty cent item if you don't like the color? You could buy a half-dozen of those baskets in all sorts of colors for the price of a can of paint. Painting anything that you plan to use for food in a refrigerator is really not a good idea.
2:05 - The problem with those dividers is that they have a wide border around the top which, when using several, takes up a surprising amount of space. The same is true when using 5:30 ice cube trays.
My mom made Christmas wreaths with wire hangers using different colors of yarn and adding details ! I remember her doing that in 80s ! She sold a bunch !
Some of the ideas are good, but most seem very time consuming and/or expensive to make. Even dollar store items become expensive when you have to buy several. In Canada, most dollar stores are $1.25 or more per item.
In the USA most of the items in the store are much more than a dollar. Who are they kidding. Some of the things are more expensive than even Walmart. The only times I find things for under $1 is usually when it's on sale. The reason many people go to them is because there are so many around now, it's just convenient. There are still a few 99 cent stores around but it's a lot of junk which will be clutter.. I guess you'll need a lot more baskets from the Dollar store..Lol..
@@BlueMeaney49 maybe she is referring to a store like Family Dollar or Dollar General, both of which have a deceptive name. When I was growing up, if a store had the word "dollar" in it, it meant that everything was $.99 or $1, period. I remember being surprised at the prices the first time I walked into a Dollar General store, and thought then it was a deceptive tactic to name the store that way. But, yeah, I am right there with you. If she is going to stores where everything is priced higher than that, it is not a dollar store.
You can also use the flower wreath as a center piece on your table, just put a few pillar candles in the center that are different heights , big ones are 1$ and small ones are 2/1$, just straighten out the hook and hide it in the flowers. Get a small metallic plastic plate or any color you want! Don't light the candles unless it's a very big occasion because after lighting them they don't look as good but if you do just replace the old candles with new ones or the best thing to do is spend a few extra dollars (got mine 3 for 7.5) and get LED battery operated ones!!
It’s sad when it seems people just watch these things to find criticism. Don’t watch it if you aren’t looking for some great ideas. I personally am very happy to have found this video. Great ideas.

A Dollar Store treat while working on your crafts:
$3.00. Cherry pie filling, already made angel food cake or similar dessert, and whipped cream. Add walnuts or pecans. Total $4.00, 4-5 servings.
I would eat that
Or yogurt and fresh strawberries, blueberries. Can flavor yogurt with Mio with stevia in it.
Sounds tasty & interesting... not to mention CHEAP & EASY. Which are my magic words.
Quick question. Do you cut cake in half & fill, or just pour everything over top & let it drizzle down?
@@itsallaboutjesus8935 slice it, so you'll be able to enjoy several servings. Ice cream can replace whipped cream.

Don't use hot glue for the felt piece throw. When you wash the throw, it'll fall apart. Instead, either sew the pieces together or use permanent fabric glue.
Trials and errors I guess! Just hot glued is for the show i presume then
Don't use hot glue for weighty glass. It is a temporary bond at best and will quickly fail. Hot glue works best on porous surfaces and will not tolerate being outdoors for long if used on smooth surfaces.

I'm no expert but what is your end use? Kinda depends on the environment (heat, cold, moisture) and how much stress it will need to endure. How about Loctite Glass Glue? I've never used it but it's worth a try. One thing you might consider is using fabric as a base for gluing the stones and then wrap that decorated fabric around the glass. Depends on the shape I imagine, but I decorated an "up light" that way (minus the stones). Remember that you'll eventually need to clean your project. Will it hold up to washing or will you need to use a spray cleaner like the stuff I use to clean "silk" flowers? -- or maybe just a dusting will suffice. The Loctite says it's safe for the dishwasher. If true, that's pretty tough stuff.
A tip for hot glue: Say you want to glue together two stainless steel spoons or other smooth materials. If you lay some glue on one spoon and then press another onto it, it will stick for a while but won't take much stress or big temperature swings such as outdoors in New England. But if you wrap the glue around the two objects it will hold far better. Even if the glue bond fails, the spoons will still hold because they are "trapped" in the glue. Yes, the glue will show but you can cover it with findings or a "silk" flower etc.
Edit: for something like the above you would use High Temp glue. Never low temp - which is more flexible and softens with heat faster (such as direct sunlight).
I used different sized plastic boxes to organize our camper. I attached them to the walls with command hooks then hung them through the holes in the baskets. Can't put heavy things in them but it did a great job. I'm so proud of it!😌
I work at a dollar store and I support this message

Ha ha haaaaa!!!! Love it.
iLOVE the Dollar Stores.Sometimes u can really find expensive looking things for your home. Also,when going to the movies,we go there and load my purse up with goodies instead of having to pay 5 bux for a damn box of candies.
The non-slip hanger idea was my favorite! I can't believe I never thought of that. It's an ongoing problem in this house😂 thanks
I thought so too but unless you glue them in place they just slide down to the bottom of the hangers, no matter how tightly you wrap them. I had 200 hangers to do and almost all had this problem soon after I did this. I should have glued them when I first did it. I didn't have time or energy to mess with it again. I just went to Walmart and bought thin space saving hangers that are covered in a velvety material. Now no slippage and I have more room in my closet!
rubber bands, hot glue, or just use the ones from the store lol
I clip my clothing onto hangers with clothespins, to keep them from slipping off. It’s not pretty, but it’s very inexpensive and it works!
IKR, that's brilliant! It's those little hacks that mean so much!!
It is a good idea! We made them for Mother's Day when I was in Girl Scouts in 1960!
Thank you for this awesome video. TONS of useful ideas I've never thought of before, but I'll definitely be using them now!! Thanks again 😊
I Love it, thanks for sharing. Another reason I love inexpensive things is because I love to change and move things around when I am feeling some kinda way, it helps me focus and stay on track. This is one small thing that makes me a bit happier. Life is good when you know the truth and stay in your lane. 👍👍👍👍
especially the lane part.
Ring holder - use foam rollers, not batting. Wrap each roller in fabric and hot glue into whatever box you like. The rollers can be easily trimmed.
Hear could melt the rollers.
Very small amounts will have no effect.
Awesome! I didn't like this video because she didn't really explain how to finish anything!
I've never seen a dollar tree this clean, organized and stocked!
I finally found one! It's in Orem, UT on N. State St. And it is HUGE as well as clean and well-organized, or it was the last time I was in there.
When I watch videos like this, I only expect to get about 1-2 ideas I can use. Seems (by comments) that people expect to find MOST ideas will work for them. Of course not. I don't understand such high expectations on the part of people, and I don't get the critical remarks when the ideas are not "life-changing" for some viewers. What do you expect from a FREE video? Just enjoy them for what they are; and stop being so critical. How about just mentioning the ONE idea that appeals to you, and if none do, just move on and watch a different video. I NEVER click on "dislike" for ANY video I watch. I'm not so narcissistic as to expect that ANY video is "bad" just because it doesn't appeal to me.
arx754 preach it!
arx754
Great comment!!
Amen sister!
Totally agree. Stop picking everything apart like the video was only meant for you. No one forces people to watch. She has great ideas.
Though it really just means you don't personally like the video, so I guess it isn't necessarily narcissistic to dislike something.
I make my own French fries. When I'm done I filter the oil through a coffee filter. It takes a few minutes but it gets out all the particles. Vegetable oil by itself will last long for months or more than a year. But if you use it to cook food with it will turn bad. What most people don't know is that it's not the oil that spoils but rather it's the food particles in the oil. Filter out the particles and the oil will last much longer. You can use the same oil 10-20 times before you have to throw it away. You don't have to throw it away until it either turns dark in color or starts to smell and that should take many months. You can also use coffee filters to filter out undesirable particles from almost any water or oil based liquid.

Oil shouldn't be used more than a couple of times, because heating it causes it to hydrogenate and make harmful trans fats. Sorry.
i worked at this restaurant where the chef had a car he had parked in the back for a few years he wasnt using well apparently it did not run on gas but fryer oil.. weird and pretty cool i thought i dont know the process of how the oil was treated to make the little car run but the story was real, he said the only problem was that the car while running would smell like french fries lol
Dalton lockridge I swear I’ve seen this on a show before. Lol nice try though.
@@dshe8637 fyi restaurants dont change their oil but every 1 or 2 weeks and cook in it a couple hundred times a day.
Hi, everyone. This isn't a Dollar store idea, but it's very useful and practical: If you are like me, you have a drawer filled with address stickers...some accurate, some not, but about 3.45M of them! I recently found a great use for them: as precut pieces of clear sticky tape, (i.e. Scotch tape). Of course, its not for public things, just the scads of uses for clear sticky tape in the home. I started using it shyly, but then more and more and am delighted each time I find an additional application. And, these labels are strong. I used to shred them, and still do with some, but now I have a piece of tape all ready to peel off the paper! Hope this helps others out there. : )
How to make a fashionable box: drape shower curtain over the top and wrap rope/string around balloon. Pop balloon. There ya go! A trendy.. box?
Something was left on the cutting room floor, I think.

Yes - that was a mix up. I did like the look of the lights - May have to search that one.

LOVE me some Dollar Tree time.
I already use several of these Dollar Store ideas.
Place mat fridge liners, Dollar Tree little rectangular baskets hung with Command Hooks (Wal-Mart) on back of door spice rack & storage for sponges, hot melt fragrance wax for wax melt burners, pencils etc.
Why do my dollar trees never look like on these videos!? 😞
Right?? 🤨 I don't know which $🌲 has all this nice stuff.
Some are just small stores, we have one now thats in another town and it's frigging huge, 10 times the size, like a supermarket, well a smaller one hah! And they have more and better stuff, same company though. Just watch, things are now made for the dollar store, cat treats at Walmart are actually cheaper because you get more, and Easter grass, like 88 cents at Walmart. I bought the plastic shoe boxes and found better ones at Walmart for 88 cents. But the BIG dollar tree had bigger ones and nicer ones for a dollar. Just like when you grocery shop, the price on the left in orange is by volume, so you can compare sizes, guess what though, bigger used to always mean cheaper. NO MORE, they know this and that most don't bother looking at volume prices, since they are all measure using the same, gallon, lb, etc, the higher price is instantly the worst price, and frequently i am finding manufacturers charging more per volume in LARGE sizes not smaller. Like a small ketchup might cost less per volume than the bigger one, so LOOK PEOPLE DON'T BE IGNORANT. They are ripping you off, like a lb of coffee is now 13 oz, and 5 lbs of sugar is 3 or 4 lbs now, same price, LESS PRODUCT. Don't be tricked.
@Amanda Kay, and here was me thinking it was just the UK cheap shops (£ shops) that didn't sell all this great stuff!! 😆😆
My dollar store doesn't have half of this stuff .
When I lived in California we had a GIANT dollar tree that had anything. When we moved our dollar tree here is tiny. I had to have a special order delivered to the store just to get enough of the item I needed.
Coffee filters can be used as splatter covers in my microwave oven
They can also be tissue substitutes to avoid snotty fingers.
And you can put them in the bottom of flower pots to keep the soil from falling out the bottom.
That's an awesome idea!
Also in place of a paper towel when frying to catch excess grease
How can they be used as splatter covers in microwave...please
I LOVE THE SMALL GRILL IDEA 💡 AND WILL BE TRYING IT TODAY 🎉
Thanks for taking the time to share! The pool noodle drink carrier was brilliant, though I wouldn't linger beneath that chandelier..
Last Christmas I bought the clear dinner plates to make pretty cookie trays for gifts. Decoupage fabric to bottom of plate and let dry. I liked the smaller bread plate size for candy holders too. You can even get dishwasher safe decoupage. These gifts were so pretty plus inexpensive!
Wow, Who know! Last month cleaned my refrigerator and cover the glass shelf with plate mats from the Dollar Tree. I used the table cloth as a liner for my dog and place on the deck with training pads for my dog. Maybe, I should do a video.
I did the same thing in my refrigerator! I like your table cloth idea as I have a 16 year old dog that can no longer use the doggie door!
Man, I feel like the dollar tree where this person lives is on point! The one I go to just has a bunch of crappy plastic things, boxes from inventory the employess never put away all up in the aisles, and random ass children running around...smh
mine too
Seriously, I want to know what MASSIVE Dollar Tree she has and with such good quality items. The ones at the 4 stores nearest me don't have half this stuff. And the stuff we have is all thin and flimsy and cheap.
I think some of this was really from nicer stores she's passing off as Dollar Tree. Like the comforter storage bags - hers looks think and completely clear. The one I bought was so thin it ripped when I was just unfolding it.

👏👏
Lazy House Cat you must live in ny. Lol our dollar trees are disgusting
I love this channel‼️I love doing crafty things‼️ I can’t wait to try what I like👏🏽👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏽‼️Thank you, have a blessed day‼️
Extremely imaginative creative and intelligent ideas! One of the best videos I've ever seen on TH-cam! Please keep them coming!!!!! $
Hi I enjoyed this video very much great ideas please keep them coming I need all you Gotta be safe
I really like the fact that you can decorate for a very affordable price and it looks good
you can also accordion-fold dollar store table runners, neckties and socks to make the ring holder tray. anything long and silky. no cotton batting necessary. you can hot glue the accordion to the bottom of the tray for stability if you want.
U can also use the small foam curlers that look like a mini pool noodle and cover with fabric or contact p and cut them to the size of small boxes and put together in a larger box
I know what I'll be doing for my summer vacation! These are awesome ideas! Thanks for sharing.
gonatural11. It
gonatural11 ubijuuu
Going to the dollar store is what you'll be doing for vacation? Really
Is no one going to mention that at 2:25 they switched from talking about a box to talking about balloons???
I came to the comments specifically for this.
@@chastityspear8932 Well, yeah, but there are just SO many other things to comment about.
That was a cool project
It was just another thing to do with the twine or rope. Liked both ideas.
They were talking about twine for both.
U Tube makes things easier in our lives thanku U Tube
I know I've watched this before, but there are some ideas here that are really useful that I'd forgotten.
Dried spray glue leaves enough grip to keep your clothes from falling off. Just wipe your hangers with alcohol or windex, let it completely dry, then spray glue along the top edges of your hanging hangers (not the hook). Let dry before use, or your clothes might not want to let go. Also, make sure you are upwind of the spray so you don't get any on you or inhale it.
Great ideas! Your videos are ALWAYS exceptionally well-made & helpful! Keep up the great work! :)
Thank you !!!! I find a lot of the ideas fun for young teens to make a few dollars at craft/veggie/lula roe outside events. This is fabulous and gives kids earning potential / good funding ideas for young athletes. With parental supervision, I think it is much better then kids standing outside of stores begging.
Love the floral wreath idea.
Hi Brenda
Great tips. I have used some of the small bins to un- clutter draws and as silverware seperator. Also for almost anything in pantry to keep things organized.
I fucking love the dollar store
Sigh Oh same.
I fucking do too!
Sigh Oh. Yeah I fucking love the dollar isle at Gen. Dollar
the laundry mesh bag great idea!
Destiny Miller.
Great for storing fresh grown potatoes and onions
Thank you, actually some ideas are pretty good, I like the dollar tree store, they have stuff that is useful. Now if you don't like the store just don't go! why being so nasty.
I thought your name was my maiden name when I first seen it lol I was like wow he has my name! (Gambino)
Great ideas! Gonna do the place matts in the fridge for sure! Thanks
Also, i agree with Rosa. Chill. This is supposed to be fun. I love leaving comments. Sweetie PI agrees😻
OmG this was all good but the pipe cleaner idea around hangars to keep clothes from falling off is brilliant. Thank you. Great vide.
Linda DeChow my dollar tree now carries velvet hangers 😃
I thought so too but unless you glue them in place they just slide down to the bottom of the hangers, no matter how tightly you wrap them. I had 200 hangers to do and almost all had this problem soon after I did this. I should have glued them when I first did it. I didn't have time or energy to mess with it again. I just went to Walmart and bought thin space saving hangers that are covered in a velvety material. Now no slippage and I have more room in my closet!
hot glue, rubber bands, old news
Sundar सुंदर How do the hangers hold up?
Like this idea
I buy tons of stuff at dollar stores. I used to pay $10 for a package of ten razors of a major brand. Each razor would last about a week so that's a dollar a week. But then I tried dollar store razors and paid just one dollar for the same number of razors. Now they won't last as long. One razor is good for about 2-3 days. So this means I pay about 20 cents per week for my razors now. I used to pay $12 for a gallon jug of laundry detergent. Now I pay $1 for a half gallon jug. It takes about twice as much detergent per load but that means that I'm paying about a third as much as I used to per load. Not everything works out but most things do. I paid $12 for a set of plates, bowls and glasses. Walmart wanted $20 for nearly the identical set. I pay $1 for a three liter bottle of soda. Compare that to $1.79 for a two liter bottle of soda elsewhere. I pay $1 for 30 fresh eggs. Elsewhere it's $1.50. I pay $1 for a 15 oz bottle of shampoo there instead of $5 at Walmart. I pay $1 for a tube of toothpaste that I would pay $3 for elsewhere and that's a major brand. Deoderant is $1 at the dollar store. At Walmart the exact same brand is $3. I bought a dishpan for $1 at dollar tree. Walmart wanted $10. I bought my dictionary for $1 there. At Walmart it's $5.99. You get the idea.
What I'd like to know is where do you get 30 fresh eggs for $1.50? 😄
nunya biznez your dollar tree has 30 freaking eggs for a dollar?! Where do they sell 30 for 1.50?
Looks like today you had the cuz 😂😂
Nunaya Business: Here's how to pay absolutely ZERO for deodorant: Ingredients are from your kitchen: Arm & Hammer Baking Soda & Argo Corn Starch. Sift half of each ingredient into a bowl...stir them together well to get them really mixed up...make sure all the lumps are out. Then get a plastic bowl with a good lid, pour your deodorant in it, and put it in the bathroom, and use after every shower. This came from my Allergy Doctor about 10 years ago, because I was allergic to all commercial deodorant's for years...red, hot, burning itching skin which would bleed. With the baking soda & cornstarch, I've never had a problem...and I've saved a lot of money. If you don't know about baking soda, then google it...you'll be amazed about this pure product from the earth. And don't for back in the day, the corn starch was used on the babies little butt at diapering time. That goes way back to the 1800's before expensive baby powder was invented. I used it on my five babies in the 50's. Oh, two more things...I use a Cottage Cheese Container for the mixture...and I take some toilet paper and fold it into a thick pad and use that as my "Powder Puff" because in all these years, even though I keep saying, I should buy one, I guess there isn't any need, or I'm too cheap to spend the dollar. Anyway, when the TP gets all worn and torn, I just throw it away and make another pad, which is a lot cleaner. Try it out...you may be surprised. Oh...I buy all my Cross Word Puzzle books at the Dollar store. Other stores want $3.99 and up for those. I go through two books per week...at my age, it keeps my mind sharp. I'm looking at the underside of ninety these days.
@@ethelnewberry151 thank you for this i used the baking power on is own and after 3 days of rubing it on my armpits they got irritaded now i want to give it another try with the cornstach and that will be better 😊
How about let's cut back on buying stuff we don't need, so much of this $1 junk, plastic ends up in the garbage.
All this plastic is killing our planet. NONE of this stuff is ''need' and destined for a landfill where toxins leech into MOTHER EARTH.'
Get rid of plastic, we've been told over the last few years.
2020 arrives, we need plastic for protection from Covid-19...
It's not being wasted if people are making use of it!!
micorazon Let alone the stuff comes in from CHINA.
AMEN! Wasteful!
Sounds like you should do videos. I think she is trying to be helpful. Why don’t we all start appreciating each other even if you don’t agree, instead of criticizing people. You don’t have to have an entire house full of plastic. Not all people can afford more. Be kind to each other.
I absolutely love the faux nail head trim! Great idea!
I buy cookies at dollar tree, or what is contained in clear plastic trays. Use in drawers, as dividers holders, throw when dirty, buy more cookies 🍪
Wow so many negative comments. Thanks for the great ideas.
come on guys she is just giving us ideas...be nice.....
Yeah, i mean you guys are being a little rude....😂
Who cares!
Ikr
I love her ideas..I want to make a wreath
This gal makes Martha Stewart look bad. I like her ideas. Simple but fun
I don't understand the fridge mats. Isn't that way harder to clean than the glass shelves are?
Erdie5 They are talking about the fridges that have those grate type shelves. But the fridge mat is still a bad idea. Blocking the shelves will block the air flow in the fridge.
Erdie5 How would it be harder to clean? You remove the frudge mat clean at sink and return it. Its better than kneeling to clean the shelves. Plus it will be easier to clean spills that have warmed up, it's hard to clean spills that are cold.
Erdie5 no bc they can throw it in the wash
It is harder we tried it for some time mostly you end up having to clean the glass and the mat so it’s twice the work
They're easier to pull out and wash. Or to just toss.
For my daughter's 6th Birthday party we took the kids to our local McDonald's . They each picked which kids meal they wanted and after went to the play area where they had different activities. Instead of goodie bags we went to the dollar store across the street and gave each kid three dollars to pick out any 3 things they wanted. They had a great time picking out what they wanted . It was such an easy but fun day and it only cost 50.00 dollars and change for her Birthday.
Cool ideas! The placemats in the fridge is an excellent idea!
Wow Your So Creative !!!!🤗 I am Always at The Dollar Tree. And Personally I Think it's #1 of The Best Ideals Someone Has Ever Thought of 🤔💗👍
no no no! If your fridge has wire shelves, it is designed for wire shelves. Blocking them will effect the air flow and you will have to replace the fridge much sooner.
fuck not now......this cant be happening now lol funny shit. ill just buy the lot jeeez
so cuteness pls
I have solid shelves in my frig, that are glass, so easy to wipe off.

Jeanne-the plastic fridge things mentioned are not solid people. Your air will circulate fine. I’ve used these especially in the fruit and veggie drawer. They keep things fresh and they never get moldy because air is circulating around them. Why do y’all not read the descriptions thoroughly before you make snarky comments?
This is actually AMAZING!
Thank YOU!

I use the felt place mat as a tool box liner. Works great.
This is a wonderful video. I never would have thought of some of this and it's so great. I'm getting those refrigerator mats and labels today. Life just got a whole lot easier for me: thank you so much!

me too

Love that idea Ruth
The garden carry-alls are a great idea, too, for movie night.
I saw a Meijer box! Yay Michigan! 😀 Great tips.
I just love these ideas. One of the most fun ones I’ve seen and very useful items. Thank you.
Okay. It took til the very end, but I'm a fan for life 💕
Pipe cleaners on my hangers...genius!
I would hate it if somebody gave me Wooden Spoons with contact paper on them
donna field 😂😂😂
Luckily they’re not given to u ;) lol
Be grateful what someone is able to afford and quit being a snot
Better than the stale popcorn my boyfriend's mom gave me. I ate two pieces. He ate more and got sick. At least with the utensils with contact paper, you could remove the contact paper and use them.
They'd be hard to hold. That's why wood. Or bamboo.
Tip #25: Get a SpaceBag. Use it... as the manufacturer intends.
Brilliant.
You had me at the plastic mats in fridge and sealed deal with artificial flower wreath
I know I’m three years late but I have to tell you these ideas you shared, are going to change my life 😊 so Thank you.
You are so welcome!
My 3 favorites have to be the placemats for the refrigerator shelves. The glass is a pain to clean when cold and if the fridge is full I don't always want to remove everything so I can wash the shelf. The next is the coffee filter idea! I hate that my good dishes can get scratched from laying on top of each other and the coffee filters as separators are a cheap solution. The last would have to be the shower caddy treat solution. Brilliant idea!
Gluing those jars together is what i need to organize my electronic parts!
When I go there it's the hundred dollar store. I might have a problem.
The first sign of healing is admitting it, wooooooo.
Me too
Think of the money you saved
Hahahahah me tooooooooo🤪
Julie..that was so funny what you said haha that's me too!
Use long baskets in frig to easily; access items, clean n use all the back storage!
I use clear plastic bins in mine to organize and to keep shelves clean. They are easy to take out and wash.
These are some crazy ideas. Paint a fifty cent item if you don't like the color? You could buy a half-dozen of those baskets in all sorts of colors for the price of a can of paint. Painting anything that you plan to use for food in a refrigerator is really not a good idea.
THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE VALUABLE TIPS!
Where are you shopping to have to pay over $300 for a flower wreath??!!!
@Tribe Foord My thoughts exactly.
Tribe Foord some wear where I can't afford😂
Michaels. lol
No joke I saw a cute Xmas wreath on Pinterest. Clicked the link, it took me to pottery barn---$200. Ridiculous.
Luvjeordie Studios 😋😋yall remember to use the 40%off coupon at micheals and joanns for much better quality flowers!🌹🌻
I used to do that basket on the stairs thing with my kids. They now have their own kids! Lol
It's a great utilitarian idea & very attractive. There are some talented & creative people in this world & I'm thankful they share their gifts.
2:05 - The problem with those dividers is that they have a wide border around the top which, when using several, takes up a surprising amount of space. The same is true when using 5:30 ice cube trays.
You are a DIY Savant!
My mom made Christmas wreaths with wire hangers using different colors of yarn and adding details ! I remember her doing that in 80s ! She sold a bunch !
I saw the Meijer logo... hello fellow Michigander! ♥️
One of the best ones I have seen in quite sometime!! Job well done ;)
Rottiemom67 t
+Rottlemom67 I so agree. What I found most pleasing was the uniqueness of the hacks and that everything used has a dual-purpose. Kudos to Jansen's
Some of the ideas are good, but most seem very time consuming and/or expensive to make. Even dollar store items become expensive when you have to buy several. In Canada, most dollar stores are $1.25 or more per item.
In the USA most of the items in the store are much more than a dollar. Who are they kidding. Some of the things are more expensive than even Walmart. The only times I find things for under $1 is usually when it's on sale. The reason many people go to them is because there are so many around now, it's just convenient. There are still a few 99 cent stores around but it's a lot of junk which will be clutter.. I guess you'll need a lot more baskets from the Dollar store..Lol..
She was referring to Dollar Tree stores- everything is one dollar. I have one near me, and it's awesome.
@@dianagreer296 Then it's not a DOLLAR store!
@@BlueMeaney49 maybe she is referring to a store like Family Dollar or Dollar General, both of which have a deceptive name. When I was growing up, if a store had the word "dollar" in it, it meant that everything was $.99 or $1, period. I remember being surprised at the prices the first time I walked into a Dollar General store, and thought then it was a deceptive tactic to name the store that way.
But, yeah, I am right there with you. If she is going to stores where everything is priced higher than that, it is not a dollar store.
That is a contradiction of terms, they are what we call dollar and up stores. DOLLAR TREE is always one dollar, or less.
Genius, I'm absolutely baffled at how much money I'm going to be saving thanks to you. Tyvm for sharing your ingenuity.
You can also use the flower wreath as a center piece on your table, just put a few pillar candles in the center that are different heights , big ones are 1$ and small ones are 2/1$, just straighten out the hook and hide it in the flowers. Get a small metallic plastic plate or any color you want! Don't light the candles unless it's a very big occasion because after lighting them they don't look as good but if you do just replace the old candles with new ones or the best thing to do is spend a few extra dollars (got mine 3 for 7.5) and get LED battery operated ones!!
