The Dollar Tree (same info, just moved from a page to a post)

A couple weeks ago, I found out something that completely changed my world.  The Dollar Tree accepts coupons.  That's right, The Dollar Tree accepts coupons.  So, being a couponer (couponess?!?) with a coupon blog and a small following, I naturally went over there with my coupon binder and spent an hour browsing and talking with the manager.  Oh, and taking pictures of the shelves to remind myself of the awesome deals so I could tell all of you.  Yep, just a crazy chick with a coupon binder taking pictures of The Dollar Tree.

Here's what I found:
They sell a lot of cheap items (meaning inexpensive, not poorly made). They also sell quite a few name brand items that you could use coupons on.  As with any store, you need to make sure you're watching the quantities of items.  If you pay $1 for 20 garbage bags, it's not as good of a deal as 60 bags for $3 at a different store. However, there is serious potential for some great deals if you keep your eyes open.  I got 5 bars of soap (Dial and Softsoap) for $0.37 total.  Just paid the sales tax.  Can't beat that! It's definitely a great place to get good deals on things you can use coupons on, as well as cleaning supplies such as brooms, mops, buckets, etc.  They have lots of household items as well.

I talked to Angie, the manager, and she clued me into the future of The Dollar Tree.  They are moving to the new building next to Kwik Trip and are hoping to be open at the new location July 1, 2013.  They have simply outgrown their current location in the mall and need more space to expand and get more merchandise.  One of the most exciting potential changes is the possibility of adding food to The Dollar Tree's inventory.  This will allow them to be licensed to accept EBT for food items.  The biggest thing Angie wants everyone to know is, "Our merchandise changes constantly, we're always getting new and different items."  This means more and more opportunities for coupon savings in the future!
