Like many kids from the era, I’d grown up watching Transformers on television, which means I’d also grown up acquiring a lot of them, Autobots and Decepticons alike,…
On April 14, 2022, Dollar Tree issued a recall for over 1 million hot glue guns due to fire and burn hazards. The Crafter’s Square Glue Gun were sold in the United States and Canada. Both Dollar Tree and its subsidiary Family Dollar sold the glue guns at different times between 2020 and 2022. This…

I got two of the sets, one of them the 10-Pack Farm Animals, and one the 10-Pack Dogs/Cats. These cost $1.25 each, as…
A while back, I found myself in a dollar store when I stumbled upon a collection of frozen sandwiches. They were labeled Fast Bites, and they were priced at $1 each.

Dollar Tree has a few products that are good for those days when you need a grab-and-go breakfast or a quick on-the-go snack. They sell their own private label version of Pop Tarts, or for something with a little less sugar, you can buy a Dollar Tree imitation of name brand Belvita Breakfast Biscuits under…
Gift cards are the ultimate present for people who are hard to buy for. Maybe your intended recipient is someone who “has everything.” Perhaps, you have an upcoming workplace gift exchange, or maybe you’re buying for a neighbor or teacher and you don’t know the person well enough to be confident about what they like….
Sometimes you don’t have time for breakfast. Not even a simple bowl of cereal. That’s why it’s helpful to keep some convenience foods in the pantry for days when you’re in a hurry. Pop Tarts can fit the bill, but they’re high in sugar and calories, not very filling, and generally not good for you….
Crunchy, crispy foods such as chips are a satisfying snack. The main problem with traditional potato chips is that they aren’t healthy for you. While browsing the aisles at my local Dollar Tree recently, I came across some crispy red lentil- and pea-based snacks that aim to be a step above regular chips. Harvest Snaps…
