  • Obviously they never been to Dollar Tree where everything a dollar. that's the only place I can get Reynold's pop up tin foil sheets and they also have Panasonic Plus Alkaline Batteries. which last almost as long as Energizer or Durracell ( tested it myself in my flash lights ) I'd say there equal to Rayovack. infact I just picked up a 4 pack. which is rare since there usually in a 2 pack. plus they have the same sized movie theater candy and most of the brands like Sour Patches for $3 less.!

  • @lorilee32 yes! i will pay full price for the good stuff!

  • At the end it looked like he was gonna crack open the bag of chips and start snacking XD

  • So that means don't buy any shit from the dollar store!?

  • @ihatewhencloudsmove Haha, that made me laugh when they mentioned it in the video. What I understand is Dollar Tree gets name brand stuff from close-out sales and the like. Can't speak for their make-up, but their toothpaste and toiletries are great. Even the hair-dye works well! (Haven't tried the blond stuff, though, because I'm too afraid of it.) Frankly, I think toiletries are really cheap to produce, so they just take less of a profit knowing more people will buy.

  • @knightsintodreams Their wrapping paper is lovely and the right price. And their ornaments are really comparable to places like Wal-mart, Michael's and Jo-ann fabrics. Can't say enough good about them. If they didn't exist, I probably couldn't afford cleaning solution or food or much else.

  • @Greenwickpress omg i LOVE the dollar tree. i bought all my wrapping and boxes there. it's amazing

  • Yeah, there are dollar stores that sell things for cheaper, but the Dollar Tree is what most people think of as a dollar store these days - because they do still offer everything for a dollar. I'm also surprised they didn't go over the food - ? Food at the Dollar Tree is one of the best things about going there.

  • i'm eating a dollar store chocolate raisin candy as i'm watching this. o.O

  • i've gotten toothpaste and makeup and candy and just about everything that you can think of at dollar tree that there is and i've NEVER gotten sick from it!
