The 11 Best Foods To Stock Up on At Dollar Tree

Stock up on an ordinary combo of salt and pepper or even "splurge" on something fancier like Himalayan Pink Sea Salt ($12 for case of 12, Dollar Tree) without spending two to three times as much at other stores.

If you're someone who relies on delicious seasonings like garlic pepper ($12 for case of 12, Dollar Tree) for all your cooking, you can nab some delicious options for much cheaper than your typical store name brand.

You can find classic brands you trust like Duncan Hines, Pillsbury, and Betty Crocker, like Betty's chocolate chip cookies ($9 for case of 9, Dollar Tree). Reviews mention that in store options can be a smaller portion, just about 12 cookies, but that it can also be the just the right amount to curb over-indulging.

One review for a 4 oz. box of Reese's Pieces ($12 for a case of 12, Dollar Tree) raved, "These are perfect for our family movie nights! Great price and make you feel like you’re in a theater!" (We wouldn't snitch on you for sneaking these into an actual theater either.)

You can grab brands like Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce ($12 for case of 12, Dollar Tree) for at least 50 cents off the usual bottle at grocery stores and it's another name brand you can trust. 

One particularly glowing review for the Deli Market Mustard ($12 for 12, Dollar Tree) claims, "This is a darn good mustard, and I can guarantee that no one will be able to tell the difference from a more expensive, grocery store brand!"

The portions available of brand name cereal like Cinnamon Toast Crunch ($12 for case of 12, Dollar Tree) are smaller, but reviews claim this makes them better for both kids who feel like serving themselves and making sure a whole box doesn't go stale. 

Most grocery stores will charge you at least three times as much for half the amount of ACV compared to snagging 32 ounces of 1905 Apple Cider Vinegar ($12 for case of 12, Dollar Tree). Considering how useful ACV is for recipes, health, and beauty, this is a great way to make sure you always have plenty on hand.

Like baking mixes and cereal, these usually come in smaller sizes, like an 8 ounce bottle of Kraft Ranch ($9 for case of 9, Dollar Tree), but they're still a third of the average price for double the amount. A review also points out that this is the perfect size for stashing in a lunch box!

When we compared the exact same size of canned fruit like Libby's Mandarin Oranges, ($12 for case of 12, Dollar Tree), most regular grocery store options were at least .50 cents more expensive. Canned vegetables are usually easy to get for about the same price or less depending on your store.

You can find pasta pretty cheap at grocery stores, but when we looked at "best choice" options for something like egg noodles, it was about a dollar more expensive ($12 for case of 12, Dollar Tree). Definitely more bang for your buck!
