I was surprised how many Christmas items my local dollar store had for sale. I snagged three 20-packs of cards for $1 each, plus three cards for $.50 each. I also saw:
- ornaments for your fake or real tree
- Christmas lights for the house or tree
- wreaths and runners
- snowglobes
- extra tall candy cane decorations
- candles
- gift bags and baskets
- wrapping paper and red and green tissue paper
- bows and ribbon
- holiday-themed buckets, containers, and cookie tins
- stockings
- holiday slogans, like “Ho Ho Ho”
- mailing supplies
- candy canes
- holiday cards (last year I made mine)
- plastic wine glasses and serving trays
- holiday-themed napkins, paper plates, and disposable knives, forks, spoons, and cups
- Santa hats
You can put together many Christmas gifts in the non-holiday aisles, especially to accompany a larger present. Dollar stores often have games, puzzles, spa kit accouterments, candy, office supplies, and tools. What holiday supplies have you picked up for cheap this year?
Welcome to Bargain Babe! I’m Mara, and I’m so glad you’re here. I am an obsessive bargain hunter and penny pincher, and I am determined to live a full life without EVER paying full price.
I always shop my local dollar tree around the holidays. I find things for my Christmas Villiage that need to be replaced, like carolers, Christmas tree candles, and also a bunch of mailing supplies, tape, scissors etc.
I also go there before it gets cold out and stock up on Tub and Tile cleaner, sponges, glass cleaner, etc. , so I wont have to go out in the cold to get these things. I also stock up on paper towels, bath tissue, garbage bags, laundry detergent , etc from different stores that have sales on the big sizes so I will not have to do any of this kind of shopping until spring! Also My local Dollar Tree has discounts after Christmas like 3/$1.00, etc!
Oh and dont forget Calendars!
@Susie A. Thanks for pointing these extra deals out!
I shop the Dollar Tree store for stocking stuffer’s. For any age, you can find something fun and tasty.
@Jennie I found a great stocking stuffer at Walgreens yesterday! The store had “bath bombs,” those fun soap balls that fizz when you put them in water, for $.99. I know Lush sells them for much, much more.
