ITEMS YOU HAD NO IDEA WERE AT THE DOLLAR STORE😱

This actually kind of made me a little bit mad that they had this at the dollar store. I'm not quite even sure how much these are at the regular stores. Shrink rack, shrink rack. So today's video is all about the things you might not have known are at the dollar store. I have separated everything into different categories and I'll kind of be tackling them by each category. All right, starting with some kid things. I have bought this soap and this soap so many times at the regular store and it was like six or seven dollars a piece. Same size, found at the dollar store. Band-aids, a pack of 20. Then there are toothbrushes and toothpaste. Now moving on to some of my personal care items that I like. This huge brush, these are my favorite kinds of brushes. Again, these are a couple dollars. Anywhere else, it's the same exact type of brush, just one dollar. My hair clips are missing so I just picked up a few more of these. These are my favorite things when I'm washing my hair at night. I just stick one of these bad boys on and then do my thing. And we lost our squirt bottle so picked one up there and I just squirt the boys hair in the morning with water. Moving on to containers. I really only buy containers at the dollar store. For makeup, see I have, this is for like lipsticks and brushes so that is where I get it. I have one of these in my bathroom and I keep my bobby pins, elastics, and then those clips that I showed you. I have one of those in my bathroom drawer but I need one in my master bathroom as well so I picked up another one. I was just telling Thomas this morning that we need more storage containers so I grabbed a couple. There's three different, there's three of them in each one of these things for a buck and this one has two for this size. So we are not much, whoop! We do not use these much, we only need a couple but this way I'm gonna throw out all of our old ones that have mismatched lids and start new. I'm gonna put this in with the containers even though it's not a container but this is awesome. So you just put this over your cabinet and then you hang dish towels on it. Something else I loved about it is it has these rubber little pads right here so it won't scratch the back of your door. I also picked up two new laundry baskets. These are kinda small but I mean, they get the job done so I got these two to put in Simon and Cohen and Ezra's room. And this is not a container but I'm gonna put it with that because it's kind of a random. These are really great quality. I mean, look at the, it's really thick plastic. Again, at Petco, these would probably be about $7 a piece and I mean, they're good decent size. I'm actually gonna get these for Pickle because I find myself filling up his food all day because his bowls are so small. So these are great for him. We have a guest coming and anytime we have guests that stay here, I like to just put some things in the guest bathroom downstairs. I put this soap in the shower and I put like a loofah on there and then I also have this lavender scent. These literally smell amazing. So they have tons of different kinds of scents there but you can see there's just like these holes and then these jelly balls and I put this on the toilet and it just makes the whole bathroom smell great. Now moving on to some of my summer finds. There's not much I have right here. Actually, we'll start with this. Okay, so I need a tiny little window box for some flowers that we're doing on a little tiny door. So I picked this up. It's super small. It's the perfect size for what I need it for but yeah, can't beat a dollar. I always find really cute summer plates and these are great quality, you guys, for how much you get and like, you can't beat how cute those are. They're so stinking cute. We always have guests over for the 4th of July so anytime the dollar store stocks up on their plates or napkins, I always grab a bunch of them. So I just picked up a couple packs of these 4th of July plates and then these napkins. They did have these in the plates as well and they had like this style of napkins but I just wanted to switch it up. And then these are kind of random but I grabbed some of these for our front yard. I thought these were really cute. They're just big sticks to stick in your yard anywhere and yeah, we'll just put these probably in the front yard around the bushes. Moving on to the kitchen area, just all the things that you need in the kitchen. I always buy spoons. We actually were in desperate need of some of these so I picked up a pack of four of these plastic spoons. Something I have been looking for forever around our house is our dustpan. I swear that always goes missing so I picked up a new one and this has that rubber lip so these are like the best ones you can buy. I also picked up these cute place mats. I feel like you can never have enough of those especially with a couple of kids. And let me show you my very favorite plates. Some of these are old. I just wanted to show you because it's the only kind of plates that we use for our kids. So I grabbed these ones actually out of the dishwasher just now. But these are my favorite plates. They're the only ones our kids use unless they're using a paper plate but this really helps me with making sure they're getting different servings of food. So they're not just eating a sandwich with nothing else. I always put like dip in here. I'll put carrots or lettuce because they love to just dip salad. And then usually like fruit or some other vegetable right here. I will also use this space to put their cup in. So this is something else I wanted to show you guys. These are their favorite cups. We have these in like every single color you can think of but they think it's so fun to drink out of the straw. And also their bowls. So I just picked up a couple new ones of these but this way they can drink the milk. They love cereal milk after that. So we have a bunch of colors of these. I also picked up a microfiber duster. This is probably something you didn't know was at the dollar store but what you can do after you use it is you just unhook it, slide it off and throw it in the wash. We needed some more kitchen towels. So these are so dang soft and thick. You can probably see right there. I love these so much. So these are like really the only kind that we use in our kitchen. This is a sink plunger. I don't know if you've ever seen these before. This is my favorite way to plunge the sink instead of having to reach in after you have gross water in your sink. This way the top is sticking out instead of having to reach your hand in the gross, dirty water. Now if you've seen these at the dollar store, these are called chargers. You put plates on top of them and they make the table setting look so beautiful. So I always have these in a ton of different colors. I have gold and silver and white. Really just depending on the season it is, but I always pick these up at the dollar store. Okay, we're almost done. If you have another mat, you could put underneath this. This was a very cheap dollar mat, but it really does make your front porch look nice. Moving on to gifts and gift bags. With Father's Day being just around the corner, do not go anywhere but the dollar store for your cards. Cards are usually between five and seven dollars. That's pretty average. And these are great cards for just a dollar. That's the only place I get cards. For Mother's Day, they had the most beautiful, like they had all these glitter. They looked like they were $13 Hallmark cards and they were at the dollar store. So that is just a quick tip for you. Never buy cards anywhere else but Dollar Tree. I also picked up a couple of bags. These were two for a dollar. And then these huge gift bags, just a dollar, guys. I mean, how can you even beat that? These are like Target bags for a dollar. I also always grab my gift boxes there. So you can get these. This is a three pack of just like for jewelry or something small. And then this is a three pack of the boxes. I love these shrink rack, shrink rack. I love these shrink wrap. Why am I stuttering so bad? Shrink wrap bags. I just had to say that like 10 times because I could not say it right. But these are awesome. Something else I always get at the dollar store are the cellophane, I don't know. It's the clear wrapping paper basically and that's how I make gift baskets. That is like the only place I can ever find it is at the dollar store. And then, I mean, can you even with these bows? How cute and for a dollar, what? There are two bows on this one and is that two? Yeah, no, this is just one big, big fluffy bow. And these are like my favorite little containers just for different gifts. They're perfect to put anything little inside. This actually kind of made me a little bit mad that they had this at the dollar store. These happy birthday candles. If you can remember on Simon and Cohen's birthday, I had these on their waffles in the morning. I paid $7 per box. $7, that was $14 for like two seconds because these suck. These really are not good candles. They're not good quality. They like were melting before we even sang happy birthday. Like you couldn't even tell what the letter was anymore. So I'd much rather pay a dollar than 14 next time. And Thomas's birthday is right around the corner so I picked some of these up for him. Now moving on to our last category. These are things you probably really had no idea were at the dollar store. And this category is kind of like the hardware, paint, supply, stuff you'd buy at Lowe's or Home Depot and you can get it at the dollar store. Starting with a leveler. A leveler, leveler? Why does that not sound right? It levels for you so you know if you're level. You know what, I should probably put this on my camera right now. Let's see how we're doing. Yeah, we're pretty level. These are some stain pens. I needed this this morning and I used a permanent marker instead but this would have definitely come in handy. This is a screwdriver set. All the different styles and sizes you would need. Thomas was actually looking for razor blades the other day to get some like, there was like a clump of stain somewhere and he needed to like just, you know, razor it off. And now I have a whole pack for him. We are always needing this because we are always not being safe when we paint and we just let paint go everywhere. So I picked this up for us. Oh and then a sanding sponge. I'm not quite even sure how much these are at the regular stores but I figured, you know, you can't go wrong for a dollar. We paint a lot. I do know how much this stuff costs and it's not cheap but I picked this up, a roller. I call these rollers too, the sponge for the roller, okay? This handle for your paintbrushes when you're painting, you know, you just wanna like hold the paint and get your job up high. And then this trusty dusty paint tray. It's like hardcore. I mean, check that out. Who would have thought all this stuff at the dollar store? Well that will conclude our dollar store haul. Thank you guys so much for watching. I have another one coming at you soon specifically on dollar store gift ideas. I think that would be a really helpful, beneficial video to anybody who needs like that last minute gift idea. So thank you guys so much for watching and we'll see you guys next time. Bye.
