I like to shop at Dollar Tree…..a lot. I know it’s not quality stuff. I’m not expecting quality…not really, lol. I am expecting to afford it and to have choices. There’s something nice about going into a place and knowing I can afford to buy anything I want.
I used to buy my cleaning supplies there too, but about a year ago I found someplace better. They sell most of their products in concentrated form. So you buy one bottle and it dilutes into a spray bottle to make 6 bottles of cleaner. This comes to around $.87 each. It’s not a HUGE savings over Dollar Tree, I’ll admit. The main benefit is these products are safer, healthier and work better than what I was using before.
They have over 400 products to choose from which include cleaning, laundry, vitamins, protein powders, sports nutrition, shampoo, first aid, cosmetics. It’s a lot of stuff.
Here are my 7 favorite products:
1. Laundry stain remover: This stuff will take chocolate ice cream out of a white dress, dried on, discovered the next day. (No bleach.)
2. Laundry detergent: Super concentrated formulas only use 2 Tbs per load. When it’s on sale for buy 1 get 1 $1.99 it costs less per load than Arm and Hammer powder and is formulated to not fade or pill your clothes. Mine has a pump on it that perfectly measures each load. No mess, no overuse. Love it! And since it’s concentrated the 96 load bottle is small enough my kids can handle it too.
3. Tub and Tile Cleaner: This stuff is amazing! Spray it on, wait a couple of minutes and wipe or rinse. If you haven’t cleaned in awhile, this stuff will make it ok. It works great on mold, soap scum, and toilet ring.
4. Solvent: This uses safe ingredients to remove stuff like permanent marker, gum, paint, fingernail polish etc…. It has over 101 uses–including stubborn odor removal.
5. Sport Drink: This stuff is perfect for fixing dehydration from sports, working out, hot weather, or adrenal problems.
6. Disinfectant: This kills 99% of bacteria and viruses–without toxic chemicals. (It’s powered with Thyme oil and Citric Acid.) It is proven to kill MRSA!!!!!! It is safe to use on toys that will end up in mouths. Use it on door knobs, counters, cutting boards, toilet handles, toys, light switches, steering wheels, musical instruments, phones….any place germs might linger
7. Dishwasher Detergent: available in gels or soft packs this stuff has sheeting action that leaves your dishes crystal clear without additional rinse agents needed.
So that was just 7 products out of 400. I haven’t even tried everything yet.
P.S. We just tried their shampoo/conditioner. Our old stuff was giving Heidi hives. Her hives cleared up in a couple of days after we made the switch and our hair is a lot more manageable now. I have thin, fine hair. Heidi’s is thick, coarse and dry–we use the same formula…go figure.
This company works similar to Costco, except it’s online. You become a member and then can order at a discount. If you want to pay full price, that’s ok too, and the prices are still pretty reasonable. Normally discount memberships are $35, but they are only $1 until December 22nd.
If 7 more of my readers decide to give it a try before December 22nd, the company will send me some love. If you want more details (please don’t make rash decisions without details!) Click here to put in your request and I’ll call or email you.
Is the shipping and handling reasonable as well?
I’m sad that I missed the $1 membership! Do you think they will have that deal again any time soon?
