Another use for the plungers… my dad used one to pop a huge dent out of the side of his truck 😂
Thank you!
I’ve heard that the plungers from Dollar Tree are only for unclogging a sink.
Funny you should mention the back scratcher. My husband put one in my Christmas stocking a couple years ago and my first reaction was to kind of roll my eyes, but it turned out to be the best little gadget I didn't know I needed till I had it! Still using it to this day and so glad it's there!
Congratulations girl. Yes celebrate all the small things too which 700,000 isn’t a small thing. Life is so short we should celebrate every day that God gave us another day.
Doorstops are a MUST when moving! Moving in to my apartment and now moving out in the summer, a doorstop at the main door while hauling boxes and furniture out makes such a difference! No need to have anyone holding the door every time you go out! 🤗
And for hotel room doors to feel safe when sleeping.
I ❤❤❤ the storage bags they are awesome and you can lift them! The space saver bags are hard for me to maneuver and you can easily see what you have!! I also use those jumbo clips to keep beach towels on chairs!❤❤ Congrats on over 700K Subs!! 🥳
Totally agree!
@@dianebaker5243Came here to say this! I keep one in my carry on luggage!
@@dianebaker5243 I love this idea!
We still have the bank tubes in our area
We still do in WI too. I don't know what you would use instead when you're in the drive through at the bank.🤷
Same! I’m in NE FL
Lint rollers are great to clean lamp shades
Its so funny you called the bowl covers shower caps 😂. It took me weeks to convince my kids they were not actual shower caps 😂🤦🏾♀️
I call them bowl bonnets.
@@treeintheroad Lol, that’s a good one.
My mom always called them shower caps 😅
That’s what I call them too. Very handy items.
I'd add another underrated item - photo booth props. I couldn't find anything under $7 on Amazon, but Dollar Tree had several options for $1.25 with multiple pieces. It made my niece's bday party a hit!
You can tell I live in a small town because we still have the bank tubes going strong and I didn't even realize they were mostly phased out. 😂 Good news is we have a pretty good Dollar Tree! 💚
Same where I live LoL 😂
Same in my area
Ok, glad I'm not the only one, lol.
Think about it. What would they use if they didn't have those tubes? She must be talking about something else.
Our city population is just under a million people. All of our drive through bank lanes still use the tubes.
I’m a Gen X and yes I remember the bank tubes. When I was a kid I loved to go to the bank with family so I could watch it zoom there and zoom back😂
Yeah Genx here too! 👍🏼👍🏼
My bank still uses the tubes. I'm GenX too 🙂
All the banks and credit win my area still use the tubes
And a lot of times, the bank would put a sucker in the tube, if they saw a kid sitting in the car
@@Nicole-zv7ee I never got any cool treats 🥲

You hit the heavy hitters for me Sarah! I also love the unbeatable drain snake that gets all the hair out!🤮😂
OMG yes. In a household with 2 women with extremely long hair those little yellow plastic things are a must!!! 😂😂😂
Yessss...understandably, one of their highest rated products!
LOVE those storage bags!
I’m not sure if you know this, but the Large Marinade Bags that I have seen near the aluminum foil and ziplock style bags are just like the storage bags but smaller. They have the expandable bottom and handle. New find for me that I’m loving.
Congratulations on 700k Sara Jane! My 76 year old husband loves the adult coloring book at D.T. In our cold winters this pre occupies his time. 😊
Yes let’s celebrate more! 🎉🎈even the simple things along with aceivements big and small. Congratulations Sarah on your subscriber achievement. You’re a lovely person. I enjoy your vids Thank you 🙏
100% that we need to pause to be in the gratitude/celebration mode of large and small victories, Also, re those doorstops, I friend who travels alone extensively always packs one for the hotel door. The theory is that it can be pushed out of the way, but because resistence is felt, if someone is looking for an easy target , they might move along It's just a small thing to add a bit more security. But it's also easy to remove in case of fire etc.
Great idea!
Love your cat. Looks like a Ragdoll to me. As a Ragdoll mommy I can attest to the fur!!!
FYI, that design of rubber plunger is actually designed for clogged sinks. It works really well on that, but for a toilet you need a heavier duty plunger with a tapered design which is designed to fit into the outflow of the toilet bowl. Interesting items, as always--love the DT cutting boards! And congrats on your subscriber numbers--yay you!!
It'd be nice if the plunger had a plastic handle. The wooden one just seems not as clean.
My plumber husband said don’t plunge a sink. You can blow the connections under the sink.
Those bowl “shower caps” are a staple in my pantry!
YES! Celebrate. One way we celebrate the life of a loved one who has passed on...we have a cake on their birthday and reminisce.A positive acknowledgment of that person. Congrats on your 700 K achievement. I’ll bet 1M is right around the corner!
I use the large storage bags to hold my sewing projects. I can use it to hold the fabric, thread, and all the small items for the project.
I love those cutting boards...truthfully, I don't use the for cutting boards...I use them in crafting when I want or need something that is semi-transparent. They work really well for that.
I cut mine down and use in the bottom of some of my reusable shopping bags.
Great ideas ladies 🙂
I use them under my double waffle iron to easily move it on the counter, in the refrigerator to line the shelves…..and to protect watercolor paintings in progress, that are dry….so that I’m able to paint on both sides of my painting boards … sooo many uses.
@@lenabradford I bet it would work under my stand mixer to make it easier to slide then.? Not sure tho. 🙂
@@carolbullard7956 they’re cheap enough that if they don’t work you’re not out much. But you may find other ways to use them. 😀
I use the large blue and white clips to clamp my quilt sandwich to the side of the table to keep it from sliding off the table. They work very well for that. My quilt stays in place when I'm pinning the three layers together.
Back is a must for my hubby, he has one in the living room & one in the bedroom & that saves my nails😆
LOL, I have that back scratcher in the bedroom, the living room and I even have one at work!
Kitty's all like EXCUSE ME, I was exploring in there!!! 😂 Also, I LOVE those bowl covers, they can be reused if they're not dirty, plus I hate plastic wrap (who doesn't?!) I've never seen those balloon sticks before I'll have to keep an eye out! I couldn't agree more about gratitude and celebrating life's achievements!🎉
Aaaawwwww your sweet kittie was relaxing in the little bed how precious ❤❤❤
Tfs your finds!!!
Because my storage real estate is small, I store my microwave plate cover inside my microwave. I store it upside down to make it easier to take it out before putting my dish inside.
Thanks again for your content!
Have a blessed week!
✌️💝🙏🤜
The pill tube case is great for many uses. I put one of the pill cases in my purse with pain medication on one side and allergy pills on the other side. You never know when you're out and about and you may need a pill. The other use for one of the pill containers is small earrings. It can go in your purse or it can be used for travel to separate and protect your small earrings.
That IS a neat design regarding the pill case. At first sight, I thought each day was just a single compartment and that each day of the week screwed onto the one below it. Nice to have that "tube" that they all go in and that each day's case is divided into two compartments.
Thank you for the heads up about the plate covers and taking them out before the drying cycle. Your cat playing with the door stop was so cute😊
The cat looked like he was trying to figure out how to remove the door stop! Maybe he misses being able to get outside. Yes, I know cats should be kept inside. I was surprised when mine ended up going out the door as I was coming in. I didn't realize it until I went to let her in from the balcony (where I thought she was all that time) and she wasn't out there! Not like her to go out at all. She returned exactly a week later. I was scared I wouldn't see her again. So relieved she came back.
Congratulations on hitting 700k subscribers!! You're definitely one of my favorite CZcams creators!!
I absolutely love when you show great items from the dollar tree. Some I haven't seen but will look for. Thanks and have a great day.
Girl ! Congress on 700k 🎉🎉 You deserve that and much much more subscribers ! Celebrate all your achievements ! You are great pretty lady !!
Gotta say as a student teacher I love the dollar store. For instance I use the clip magnets all the time on my whiteboard and they feel super heavy duty too.
8:42 Soooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!! Must see more cameo appearances from your sweet cat!
Great finds, Sara Jane!!!❤ As always, I appreciate you sharing your DT haul with us! The new utensil rests are really nice!Congratulations on your 750K subscribers! ❤🎉 You should celebrate! You deserve to!❤ Stay safe, healthy, and positive! God bless you and your family!🙏❤️🇺🇸😊
The magnets are really good, I agree. You have some great products here. Good share. Actually the coloring books for adults are wonderful and very calming to use. Great job explaining these underrated items.
CONGRATULATIONS on 700K!!! "Grateful and Grounded!" I like that. -Lety from Chicago
Lots of great hidden gems. Yes, I remember those tubes at the bank, in fact they still use them here in WI. I've heard rumors going around that Dollar Tree's prices are going up again. This time to $1.75. I hope this is not true. Thanks for sharing all these great gems Sara Jane.
I hope not too!
I've heard the same. It will be harder to justify shopping there, or shopping there as much if they raise the prices that high. They need to change their name to "We will gouge you as much as possible store"
Here in Iowa we still use the tubes at the banks...😊
Same in Ohio
Same in WI
Same in North Carolina
Also don’t sleep on the books! Especially at the beginning and end of year. Many Target buys.
I so completely agree with this! I had a coworker start showing me books she got from DT and now I'm hooked lol. Always interesting and new finds.
I use the jumbo clothes pins to clip flip charts to rolling easle carts. It is so convenient for teachers as well.
I'm not sure how many people know this but coloring actually helps with memory and helps you to not get Alzheimer's or dementia it prolongs that process so you don't get it. Because coloring actually helps your memory and you have to stay in the lines and you have to be patient with your self
Great! I need all the help I can get!
Hey girl. Congrats on 700k. You are a joy and always looking out for us. You celebrate🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
I use a lot of these products from DT and some are new to me. I use the large and extra large Ziploc bags for sooooo many different things. I use them to store items in categories in large totes, I use them to organize items in my son’s suitcase for camp (I label each bag to help him keep the items organized), you can store wreaths in them and hang them on a clothes hangers in your closet. The uses are endless.
Congratulations on 700,000 subscribers! You are one of my favorite CZcams influencers. 🥳
The 2 dresses at the end are adorable 😍 💕 💖
I have every single item you highlighted!
By the way, I love The Beatles magnets on your fridge 🚶🏻♂️🚶🚶🏻♂️🚶
Easiest way to clean microwave. Place a heat safe bowl with vinegar on base.. micro for a minute or two. Just wipe off all debris
Keep a bottle of champagne in your refrigerator so you’re ready to celebrate on the spur of the moment! 🎉🍾🥳
That pill case totally looks like the bank tube!
Also I love coloring. I even ordered a lap desk and clamp light for coloring 😊 it’s the best
That's a great idea!
I use the heavy zip storage bags and would highly recommend them. My daughter uses them to store her children's seasonal clothes.
Congrats on your 700k followers! I appreciate all you do and love your channel and yes, we all need to celebrate our milestones!
I buy all my scrub brusheses and spray bottles for cleaning. They have the same items as my local grocery, just lower price. Also, they have my Ajax grapefruit dish soap, u use this for lots of cleaning chores. Love the smell, cleans my floor beautifully.
Sara Jane. And y for all the hiden gems They are all great finds. And the one good thing I think is a must is the new storage bins. For all those crafters. Out there. And the new pliers. Much love from Tennessee. Have a wonderful weekend.
Congratulations on 700k. 🎉❤
Microwave cleaning tip
Boil a glass measuring cup full of water and a whole lemon, cut in half and squeezed into the water for 5 minutes...then simply wipe out the inside...it will clean easily with no scrubbing, and it smells good too!
I do this every time, and it's never failed me.
I have doorstops to my laundry room. It’s to keep my cats out too! They like getting in there and jumping on top of my washer & dryer and I’m afraid they’ll fall behind and get hurt or stuck.
I love your videos! I should’ve known you were a cat mom, we are very nice people 😻
Another hidden gem is the contact lens cases located near the pill cases. I believe the come in a 5 pack. Thank you for all the tips! Congratulations on all you have achieved! It's been great watching you grow! I enjoy your content. You're a gem too!!😊
I use the “shower caps” to cover my beagle’s canned food and my kitty’s canned food! Great item!
You should always celebrate your achievements, it is your positive vibe that is the best gratitude for yourself. Thank you for sharing. I like the wedding ideas with the picture frames. I used them for any party I was catering so people would know where, and what things were.
I use those clear photo frames for parties and events at school for many different things like a Photo Booth sign, showing what and where things are, and for decorations. We are throwing my Mom a surprise birthday party soon and I ordered a birthday newspaper with her photo and things that were popular in the year she was born and I plan on using them to display the newspaper on the tables at her party.
An insanely easy way to clean your microwave…dampen a kitchen sponge and place in microwave for one minute. The moisture created loosens all the grim for easy wipe down and the heat disinfects the sponge at the same time.
I do that by taking 1/2 a lemon and microwaving it. It puts moisture in the microwave and a great scent throughout the kitchen.
i love my back scratcher from dollar tree!!!! i have terrible eczema and it's often on my back so it truly is a life saver.
The shower cap bowl covers are also great for covering a cut watermelon.
There is one item I always purchase at the $ tree - it's in the closet storage section. They are square storage containers that I use in place of a filing cabinet. They come in 2 sizes and in grey or blackish as a rule. The frames, candles, and office supplies.
I love to color and coloring books is soothing, a stress relief and also relaxing. Thanks to my brother I have plenty of coloring books and crayons period when my nieces and nephews and my grandkids come over everybody gets a coloring book and crayons and we all sit and color
I buy those back scratchers for my mom all the time. She’s constantly losing them! One day I’ll find a hoard of those back scratchers in a corner somewhere.
Sara Jane, I have to agree with you. I own or buy so many of these items. Thank you for sharing. You deserve to celebrate all your accomplishments.
Congratulations on all of your subscribers 🎉😊
Never be ashamed to celebrate your accomplishments
You have so many, be proud 😎
The dual compartment pill organizers, are great to store jewelry (neclaces & bracelets wont get tangled up), make up sponges, and other small items, when I travel. I live alone, and I use the $ Gen doorstops on my front, and back door, as well as my bedroom door, as a safety device. Stick a couple of those under the door, and no ones getting in!
I’ve been using those folding toothbrushes for years for every time we travel, and I do really love them. I also love the mesh, laundry bags, and I use them to organize toys in art supplies as well.
☮️🌍🌲 The cutting boards are great to do craft projects on too.
I totally remember the bank canisters! They should bring them back with the yellow and white pages. Best wishes, Raquel
Bleach and other stuff to clean the house, shower curtains (clear), any gift bags.
They are great items. I use the big storage bags and the doorstoppers. Your cat made me laugh when I saw him trying to move the doorstopper.🤣🤣👍👍👍
SJ the kitty is the star of this vid
Some terrific things I needed and saving $$!🎉
One tip… the makeup changing “sponge” for brushes is a no. I got one, used it and it damaged my brushes. The bristles all got broken on the perimeter of the brush. Yes, I was gentle… I have very nice brushes that now look sad. Just use caution!!
Loved the video… off to go shopping!🎉
GOOD on the plunger because I just bought one for my kids bathroom. I stopped and thought, how good is this for $1.25 lol. Glad to hear it's a good buy!
I'm going to keep asking, what is the gorgeous kitty's name?😻 Thank you for showing him/her. Absolutely adorable! Has your cat met Mr Otis?🤗
I have used all the pill organizers . My favorite is the the round one. I have one for day is day and one color is for at night.
Congratulations on reaching 700,000 followers. Yes! You need to celebrate!! This is a huge accomplishment. Thank you for sharing your finds. A couple items I didn’t even know they had. 💖
Interesting how so many of us shy away from celebrating our victories. Big or small they deserve to be celebrated. Way to go congratulations!😀
Congrats❤🎉👏🏾on over 700k subscribers! I used to be afraid that my deposits would get stuck in those bank chutes😂. I need to get some of those doorstops & storage bags. I absolutely❤️DTree magnets. I find jigsaw puzzles relaxing,too. The DTree puzzles are good quality.
Oh my heck where did you get the Beatles magnets? Love your videos
I use the set of 3 laundry bag to put my sheet sets in, to keep them organized
That’s a great idea!
Congratulations 🎉on hitting 700k subscribers. You should be very proud and celebrate till the cows come home!!! 😊 Love your content. You seem like a salt of the earth gal and I wish you and your fiancé a lifetime of happiness. ❤
Wowwwww!!!! 700k subscribers??? Congratulations!!!! What a big achievement!
Congratulations to you!!! You deserve it and you Should celebrate!! Life is too short!!! And I always appreciate your take on the different items!! 👍😁👍😁🤗🤗🎉🎉🎉
We still have the bank tubes in Florida and I just bought the pill case a few weeks ago love it
An alternative plate cover that I think is better is from IKEA. It’s a harder plastic and I recently got some on sale for $1.
❤ Thanks Sarah for all the ideas.🎉 Congratulations on your accomplishment of reaching 700,0000 viewers🎉
Sarah Jane…Our toilette plungers are $2.50…you have to pay for the handle and plungers separately…that goes for most of the items at DT that have handles.
I love the tube pill organizer. I use it for my husband's pills when we go away for the w/e. We can just take the 2 small holders & not his normal full week pack.
I have had that DT microwave cover on top of our microwave forever, so incredibly handy and saves on messy cleanups and splatters.
I LOVE your videos! They’re always so fun and you’re positivity is really uplifting and encouraging. Congratulations on your 700K Subs you deserve it🎉🎉
Celebrating gives a good feeling and smile, Too what it my be.👍🥰
Congrats on 700 thousand! That's quite an accomplishment! ❤ I found you during your Christmas Tree video! I bought 2 WalMart trees because of your video! Thank you so much! ❤❤❤
YES for the back scratcher!!
I never see anyone talking about Limeaway Toilet Bowl cleaner. It is a 16 oz.. bottle and does absolutely terrific especially if you have a well or hard water. I also buy Comet liquid cleaner with bleach for the kitchen and bathroom. Both great buys! Congrats on 700 subscribers! God bless you!
Back when I used paper coupons, there were often ones for .75 off of line away toilet bowl cleaner. I used to buy them all of the time from DT. Now no coupons, but it’s still a good buy
I love your sweatshirt! Can you link it please?
That clip-on fan is clutch, gonna grab a few.
