12 Dollar Tree Items You Should Never Buy Anywhere Else

One of the easiest ways to start couponing is to use a manufacturer coupon or rebate offer with Dollar Tree items. Since many coupons approach (or exceed!) $1 savings, and Dollar Tree products only cost $1.25, you can save a lot of money and maybe even get items for free.

Manufacturer coupons are the only coupons Dollar Tree accepts. Rebate app offers from the likes of Ibotta, Checkout51, and Fetch Rewards also work because you don’t take any action until after you make a purchase and have a receipt. Dollar Tree doesn’t know or care!

Here are some of the best deals you can find at Dollar Tree, but as a rule of thumb, anything you find a manufacturer’s coupon for that Dollar Tree sells is fair game as long as the quantities match the coupon.

1. Shop Dollar Tree bread brands like Oroweat and Thomas’.

Why pay around $3.49 for Oroweat bread at Target when you can get the same stuff for $1.25? Stack a mobile rebate offer from Ibotta or Checkout51 for even more savings.

Look for these brands:

• Oroweat
• Thomas’
• Sara Lee

2. Get Dollar Tree products — like medicine — for free when you use a coupon.

According to the Dollar Tree coupon policy, they will “accept a manufacturer coupon for over a dollar on a single item, but the manufacturer coupon value will be reduced to the purchase price of the item.”

This means you’ll get the item for free, but Dollar Tree won’t open the till and hand you money if your coupon value is more than the cost of your item. This is common for medicine because coupons tend to be for more than just $1 off.

 

Look for these brands:

• Vicks
• Alka-Seltzer
• Aleve
• Advil
• Tylenol
• Tums
• Emergen-C
• Halls

 

3. Score cheap pet collars and leashes, plus $0.50 dog food.

Not only can you find normally spendy dog supplies like leashes, collars, and harnesses for just $1.25, but when you use a coupon for dog food, you can score a can of wet food for $0.75.

Look for these brands:

• Purina
• Beneful
• Temptations
• Alpo
• 9 Lives

 

 

4. Get makeup brands like e.l.f. for way less than Target’s prices.

e.l.f. lipstick runs about $3 – 5 per tube at Target, but you can find it at Dollar Tree for just $1.25. e.l.f. coupons are rare, but look for coupons on these other brands to save even more money!

Look for these brands:

• e.l.f.
• Wet n’ Wild
• Ponds

5. Save at least $16.75 per pregnancy test!

So you have to pee in a cup instead of directly onto a strip. That’s the only real difference between dollar store tests and those found at Target. Well, that and the price tag!

Stop spending up to $18 on pregnancy tests, when the ones at Dollar Tree work just as well.

 

 

6. Use coupons to buy Dollar Tree bleach and other cleaning supplies.

Dollar Tree should be your go-to for dish soap, bathroom cleaning supplies, and even bleach. And I’m not talking about the generic cleaners!

I’ve spotted Clorox Bleach and Clorox Mopping Pads at my local store. I had a $1 off two Clorox products coupon that didn’t have a size restriction, so I bought both, making each product only $0.75.

Look for these brands:

• Clorox
• Palmolive
• Ajax
• Palmolive
• Scotch Brite
• Dawn
• Comet
• Spic n Span

 

7. Get Dollar Tree baby items like Beech Nut baby food for $0.50 each.

Baby food isn’t usually cheap, so when you see a Beech Nut coupon, use it at Dollar Tree!

Buy 2 Beech Nut Fruities squeeze pouches, $1.25 each, regular price
Use one $1/2 Beech Nut baby food (Coupons.com)
Final price: $0.75 each

Look for these brands:

• Beech Nut
• Huggies
• Boogies

Nobody should be stuck with generic facial and bath tissue when you can get brand names like Puffs, Bounty and Scott at Dollar Tree for super cheap.

Use one $0.75/1 Bounty paper towels coupon
Final price: $0.50

Look for these brands:

• Bounty
• Scott
• Puffs
• Charmin

 

 

9. Look for Tampax tampons at Dollar Tree.

When a coupon doesn’t have a size restriction, head to Dollar Tree. Why? Because when you have a coupon that allows you to buy the smallest size (even travel size!) or quantity possible, you’ll save more money and possibly even get your item for free.

Look for these brands:

• Tampax
• L.A. Looks
• Crest
• AIM
• Colgate
• Always

 

10. Look for cheap brand-name sandwich bags.

Head to Dollar Tree for sandwich bags when you have a coupon.

 

11. Don’t pass up $1.25 bacon and frozen foods!

Don’t ignore the frozen and refrigerated sections. I’ve often scored free and super cheap frozen prepared meals and even bacon!

Look for these brands:

• Jennie-O
• Michelina’s
• Hot Pockets
• Banquet
• Jimmy Dean
• Tyson

 

12. Campbell’s condensed soups reach just $1.05 each with coupons.

Walmart has Campbell’s soup for $1.26 each. But with a coupon at Dollar Tree, you’ll get a deal that drops the price per can even lower.

In addition to Ibotta offers, download Fetch Rewards, another rebate app where you take a picture of your receipt and upload it to the app to get rewards and discounts.
