- I stumbled upon this enormous Dollar Tree store while I was visiting Ocala, Florida and just had to bring you video.
Nearly 50% larger than my hometown store, this one was more spacious AND had more to choose from!
Check out this video and, until next time, stay crafty!!! - Věda a technologie
Wow! I've never seen such a clean and tidy dollar tree.
me, now prices will be $1.75 so buyer beware!
Great store. There are 4 dollar trees in my area and combining them all still wouldn't have that nice a selection 😢
I use thosr garden gloves when free motion quilting, they work FAB
Great point!!
I am going to try that! Thanks for the tip!
I literally just bought the 2" fabric strips at a Canadian Dollar Tree. They were so cute.
There is also another dollar tree in what used to be a CVS half a mile from this one on 17th St. It's equally as large and tidy and even with a different selection! 😊
Next time you’re there get some of those dish drying mats. You can make mug rugs and all kinds of pouches with them. I crumb or strip piece on one side then make all kinds of stuff. I’d love to see what ideas you come up with. 👍🏻
Oh yeah! I used one for a pressing pad in an upcoming video!!
@@timothytotten9409 cool, cant wait to see it!
That is definitely not my Dollar Tree in NE Florida!! Wowza! Beautiful, clean, amazingly stocked...❤
Right?!
I'm in Chesapeake VA. DTs headquarters/ warehouse is here. Btw, their new building is the tallest in the city. All of our stores do not carry a lot o f stuff you tubers show at theirs. No 2 stores are the same . And we have a lot of stores to choose from. This store you are at is one of the best organized ones. And massive.
I buy the fat quarters and use them for place Matt's , hot pads , and in quilts.
Your viideo was wonderful ! Wish our dollar tree was like the one you were in!!
I have made 4 quilts so far with DT FQ, $24. 6 x 6 FQ cut up and redone.
Wow. That’s impressive!
I bet my Dollar Tree is even smaller than the one you usually go to. Thank you for showing us a bigger one.
I also love your DT. Thanks for taking us along, that was a really nice haul.
I’m in Indian River county and ours are not this nice! So jealous !
This one is going to make me jealous. Our Dollar Tree in Canada sells gum and greeting cards.
I'm sorry. I feel your pain!
Oh no!
I've been watching a ton of craft room and quilting room videos, storage and re-purposing videos, and yesterday went 'hunting' at our version of Dollar Tree/Dollar General/Family Dollar, whatever the names were. Well, I can find nothing that I was looking for. And that was the second trip in the past few weeks. So, other people's 'dollar' stores are better than mine! But there's always Amazon. Oh, and I was also looking for a quilt like the one you made a pillow out of in a video. I'm a quilter - but I wanted a store bought one with a nice pattern to cut up. I do not do that to mine!!Couldn't find that either, at the thrift store.
Also, the one on 434 and 436 is good.
I want to know is why your Dollar Tree is soooo much better than mine! After I saw that foam noodle knife in one of your other videos, I rushed out to my Dollar Tree to get one, but they don't carry them at my Dollar Tree. 😭
Isn’t that annoying?!? I don’t know why they don’t try, at least, to carry the same stuff.
@@timothytotten9409 so odd how so different they can be. Like, our piddly little Dollar Tree had almost nothing you mentioned in the other video I watched, but ours has just as big a section of heatpress vinyl as that fancy one in this video! Wild world. (Thanks for all the tips in your videos BTW!)
I wish we had dollar tree in Australia. The place looks awesome
I was in a different area and found a Dollar tree, I expected to see about the same as my local stores - it was so overpacked stuff was everywhere! It was a total mess but they had everything. Tons of their fat quarters with different patterns. I am thinking with some store closings maybe they moved some of it here.
It’s crazy how much variation there is. Its why I’ve stopped doing too much dollar tree video stuff. It’s not fair to show people an awesome store and then their store is not up to snuff.
That store looked bigger than any in my area.
Wow what a clean and well stocked this DT is mine is so sad looking and disgusting I used to do alot of shopping at mine now only get paper plates and some napkins IF they bring in any .....
That is so sad! Every DT in Ocala is a pleasure to shop it, which means they all have great management and staff. Way to go, Ocala!
Thank you for taking us shopping with you.
As I'm unable to go shopping and we don't have the same shops in the UK, its always interesting to see what's available for people.
I tend to window shop on amazon, tesco and etsy and then various larger online yarn stores.
Its quite limiting sometimes, but I mostly find what I need.
This store (1607 South Pine Ave., Ocala) shows on the post as he walks past it. That’s on 17th and Pine St. in Ocala in a former CVS store. There is also a huge one on 200, but I haven’t been there. This one is closer to where I live.
Yes! I was wrong in the video. I had my wires crossed because I had gone into both.
Those collapsible boxes are great when you get take out. Drinks and all. Ewe have one in each car.
Such a good idea!
Tim - I wonder if the areas with the larger, and well stocked, dollar type stores are mostly in the south. Where you may find more retirees that sew/craft. I have never seen one that neat and well stocked in N.E. Ohio. We do have some suburbs that will not let any more dollar type stores open. It would be great to have some of these vacant pharmacies turned into stores like this. 😊
It’s an interesting premise. I’m making a few trips next month and I’ll have to test that. I’ll be in Missouri and in Wisconsin.
I think it also has to do with the size of the building they are in. All of the other Dollar Trees I have been to in Ocala are a lot smaller.
That building was vacant for a long time. I was so happy to see it finally being used
I live in Los Angeles, and none of the Dollar Trees in my area are this well-stocked!
I also live in Tavares and none of our local DTs are like that one. I heard that there is a good one in Claremont but I’ve never been.
I sometimes go to the one next to firehouse. It’s okay, but I’m gonna try the new one out by Stoneybrook soon to see if the newness brought new stuff. Lol
Self advocate! Tell them about the Ocala store and ask them to upgrade. If enough people do, you might just get what you want. Store managers really do want to know! If you don’t tell them, how will they?
There is a large ( not the largest in the US) about 45 minutes from me and it is in an old grocery store. It is wall to wall and floor to ceiling with yummyness.
Wow! I bet that is awesome!!
@@timothytotten9409 it really is. There is a very large one in Virginia and I have seen one in a video, I think, somewhere in the Midwest. The one neat me iis in Kinston, NC.
Even Dollar Tree stores in the same city vary widely in the selection of products. I follow the YT "She So CraftDee" channel as Dee does a DT finds/new things video on Sundays. Great resource!
I’ll check her out! I don’t typically do a lot of content about Dollar Tree, but I was dumbfounded at the better selection at this store!
You said this one is on 200? This looks like the one at the corner of 441/ Pine and 17th in the old CVS building. I live in Ocala but have never been in it. I tend to avoid downtown unless I am going to work. It was on my list to check out 😀
Very nice store. Unfortunately a lot of stores present condition has to do with the clientele that shops there. Just an observation I’ve made in my store. I’ve used the Dollartree fat quarters for multiple quilts and they’ve turned out beautiful. It’s like a treasure hunt every time I go to Dollartree
All of my$ tree's are an hr away. So you are feeling my pain 😊
That’s rough!
I like the one on 441 in Apopka where 441 and 436/Semoran meet. I also like the one on A1A in Ormond Beach. Where is this one.
This one is on 200 in Ocala. South side of the city.
Honestly, if the manager hates working at the dollar tree, the store will be a mess! If the manager tries to be "friends" with the workers, the dollar tree shelves will NOT get stocked. I'm not saying to mistreat the workers or anything....Sometimes, I travel to the "better" Dollar Trees for these reasons! Thanks for the video!
I agree. I watch some Dollar Tree Hauls and then go to my store looking for the stuff and they don’t have it! Frustrating!
Howdy howdy.. luv ur vids! But u got me. A bodkin🤔 is a tool that pinches/ grabs in order to pull or push things through a track or a slipway. That my friend..ya no. Lol but hey a fun fact, I purchased fq's @dollar 🌳 over a year ago abs low n behold months later MSQC was selling the same lines in Yardage fur much much more. 🤨 ... lol really fun watermelon line. Anyway,, I'm with you, wow the differences in locations. Its the same here in Northern Cali. And I have many friends out on the east coast n well everyone on the purge side of the rockies basically. They get all the yummy goodies. And I dint mean edibles! I mean crafty , yarny when a big Corp tosses product they'll get it and we don't. It's a down right dirty shame imho. Lolol I know it's a matter of supply and shipping etc to scatter the goodness.
Ok i I digress 😂
One last thought, I've creativity not seen such selection of crafty and otherwise for that matter up here in my area as what you've just shared. I did hear about the up in pricing tho. 3$ 5$ etc. Somethings not being marked but you find it rather quickly @the cha-ching machine 💳 ( definitely a sign of the times when there's no cash register emoji instead there's only a credit card 😮🙃)
Have a Great Day &Fun Creating. Hope see you again soon.
Little edit required :)
I know what you’re saying is true…one town over has a way better store than the one in my town…any idea why that is…
I decorate cakes so those items would be useful.
I am missing Dollar Trees up here in Alaska. Looking good!!
You can order items online, but it's in bulk.
my Dollar Tree doesn't have 1/3 of these items
Mine either! That’s why this one impressed me so much.
Yeah, my $ Tree looks like a homeless shelter vs the ones on the U Tubes.
Mick needs to be closer to mouth. Hard to hear
