Toilet Paper
An essential product you always needed to keep stocked in your home is toilet paper and picking a four-count pack of Dollar Tree’s Scott Comfort Plus 1-Ply Bathroom Tissue for $1.25 each definitely beats out the 36-count Kirkland Signature Ultra Soft Bath Tissue bundle you can find at Costco for $24.99.

Batteries
Do you need to recharge your electronic devices? Stock up on batteries the next time you are at Dollar Tree, where an eight count of E-Circuit Super Heavy-Duty AAA Batteries is on sale for the low price of $1.25. That might shock you when compared to the 40 count Duracell Coppertop Alkaline AAA Batteries for $17.99 at Costco.
Plastic Cups
If you are planning on throwing a party in the near future and do not want to deal with the mess of doing dishes afterwards, then head to Dollar Tree where you can pick up a 48-count pack of Red Plastic Party Cups for just $1.25. That’s saving you some money in your wallet rather than spending it at Costco on a Kirkland Signature Chinet Plastic Cup pack of 240 for $13.59.
Trash Bags
It’s a messy job, but making sure your trash is taken out in a secure and strong bag has to be done. That’s why you need to shop for trash bags at Dollar Tree, where a 35-count of Essentials 13-Gallon Scented Trash Bags in a variety of colors only costs $1.25. If you went to Costco and picked up the 200-count box of Kirkland Signature Flex-Tech 13-Gallon Kitchen Trash Bag, you’d get home only to find that price stinks when measured up to Dollar Tree.
Baby Wipes
Your little ones deserve a fresh clean and you deserve to save money on keeping their most sensitive areas comfortable. Accomplish both by adding a 72-count pack of Smart Care Fisher-Price Baby Wipes to your cart for just $1.25 the next time you are at Dollar Tree. Skip going to Costco, where a 640-count box of Kirkland Signature Premoistened Flushable Wipes will cost you $19.99, plus $3 in shipping if you order it online.
