Yes, Dollar Tree is a chain store, but unlike its competitors of a similar name, its prices stay true to its brand. Everything under the roof is $1.00. Always. I've saved on average $2.00 per item compared to prices at Target or Wal-Mart. If you're shopping for back to school, or just want to save some money on your day-to-day items, here's a list of things to pick up for a buck:
