It’s no secret that Dollar General is full of fantastic home finds. These Holly Williams Salt and Pepper Shakers ($3) are proof of that, with an eye-catching color and glossy texture that will make them look great on your table. We also love the heavyweight, durable ceramic material they’re made from, which could pass for something from a high-design store!

The problem with modern headphones is that you often need a couple of pairs on hand for emergencies (especially for when yours run out of batteries or go missing at the worst possible moment). That’s why you should pick up a pair of Sentry True Wireless Bluetooth Buds ($10) as an affordable backup or everyday option, offering up to 12 hours of playtime per charge.

Summer hasn’t even officially kicked off yet and we’re already feeling the heat! Make sure you’re ready to battle those high temperatures in the coming months with a True Living Oscillating Pedestal Fan ($25). This affordable option is ideal for adding an extra cooling element to your bedroom, office, or kitchen when your AC simply isn’t cutting it.

Looking to get into the spirit of the summer holiday season? This Betseyville Patriotic Printed Soft Blanket ($16) celebrates Americana with an adorable print, but what we really love is that ultra-soft material the blanket is made of. It’s perfect for staying warm out while watching the fireworks or curling up on the couch for a binge-watching session!

Is there any more summer-centric food than a frankfurter? We love this Dog-Shaped Hot Dog Holder ($2) as an adorable (yet affordable) addition to your summer party table setup as an original add-on both kids and adults can enjoy!

Speaking of perfect summer foods, you’re going to need plenty of cool and refreshing treats to get you through, too! This Watermelon Slice Popsicle Maker ($3) is not only affordable off the bat, but can help you save even more money in the long run by making your own frozen snacks. Bonus points if you come up with creative recipes and flavors!

Whether you’re headed to the beach or hosting a pool party, you’re going to need a place to stash your cold drinks! This Igloo Wheelie Cooler ($35) takes the classic cold storage product and makes it truly mobile, with enough capacity to fit up to 56 cans.

Grilling can seem like a great idea until it becomes a struggle to get a decent flame going. That’s why we’re keeping these Royal Oak Tumbleweeds Firestarters ($6) on hand all summer, especially because it helps cut back on that undeniable smell and flavor that can come from using too much lighter fluid.

If you’re planning on plenty of pool time this summer, you’re going to need a way to optimize your time in the water. This Bestway H2OGO! Floating Chair Lounge ($8) is an inflatable classic, making it comfortable enough to sip on a beverage (thanks to the built-in drink holder), dive into that page-turner, or simply relax while soaking.

Whether it’s the pool, beach, river, or lake, you’re going to need a way to dry off this summer. We humbly suggest this Cabana Stripe Beach Towel ($6), with a soft texture that truly belies the super low price. And most importantly, it’s super absorbent!

Want to ensure you get plenty of winged visitors this summer? Install a Pennington Cedar Dinette Bird Feeder ($8) in your yard, and you’ll get plenty of fly-bys from those finches, cardinals, blue jays, and doves! The fact that it’s made of durable cedar certainly doesn’t hurt, either.
