I love Dollar Tree. And I love that this one has now opened up so that way I don't have to drive over by my sisters in Lakeview to get my dollar on.

(that didn't work as well as I wanted it to)

Huge plus because the sales associates are wonderful! They were helpful and chatty, but not pushy or anything. I'm kind of a snob with that, since I work in retail too.
They're adding in a freezer section, yay!

I totally ignored this place for over a year.  I never even really noticed the Dollar Tree there in the strip mall with the Strack and Van Til - I just never thought about it.  JoAnn, Petsmart, Strack - all of those places totally dominate the strip mall and it seems like nothing else is there.  

But let me tell you, folks - this Dollar Tree is amazing.  Yep, everything is $1.  Not like those lame "dollar" stores where everything is $1+.  Dollar Tree knows what's up and it's good merchandise at a great price.  I'm a teacher and they have a GREAT teacher section.  Ever want those word cards so you can post useful vocabulary around your room?  Get a 30 pack for $1.  Need to-do lists and other awesomely fun little note pads?  $1!  I also got these cute little baskets (thanks to my co-worker) to put markers in for each group of tables - great organization!  All for $1!

There's also a ton of awesome seasonal stuff here - who doesn't like decorating for the holidays, especially if it's cheap?  Right now they have a lot of cute Halloween stuff to decorate your house and your yard.  I'm sure they'll have Christmas lights and the like, which is awesome, since everything will be $1.  

Get yourself in here - seriously.  I can't believe I've totally ignored this store for so long.  They have a ton of knick-knack stuff that you know you want but just don't want to pay $5 for at Target.  I spent a total of $13 here and I got a ton of stuff for my classroom.  I will definitely be back for some awesome Halloween shopping.  YES!

I came here for the first time the other day and let me tell you everything is a dollar.  The store is neat and well put together.  I needed to get some serving platters for a party I was throwing.  I went to party city and the plastic platters were five bucks a pop.  My friend Megan told me to check out the dollar store and what a good call that was.  Same things for more than half off.  I love you dollar tree you are just for me.    

And as an added bonus the employee that rang me up was just great.  Sweet girl that talked up the products.  Plus she was fun to talk with.  LOVES IT.  P.S. if you ever need a pregnancy the sales associate claim they work and well.  Wow all this for a dollar.
