SheaMoisture is a popular brand sold at all the big-box stores, well-liked for its natural ingredients, ethical business practices, and committment to diversity. So, you can imagine how excited shopper @lovekimrizzo was to find the brand’s SheaMoisture Jojoba Oil and Ucuuba Butter Hair Conditioner at her local Dollar Tree.

The jojoba oil hydrates hair to resist breakage, the ucuuba butter promotes hair elasticity, and the carrot seed oil moisturizes hair and scap for all-over shine. At Walmart, the product is $13, compared to just $1.25 at Dollar Tree.

At Ulta, men’s shampoos from American Crew start at $24, a far cry from the $1.25 price tag at Dollar Tree, where @lovekimrizzo recently spotted the product. The daily shampoo is infused with vitamin B5 for healthy hair, and it features the brand’s signature citrus-mint scent.

These salon-quality wax beads easily melt in the microwave and are formulated with tea tree oil to reduce irritation and soothe the skin.

“One of the best waxes I’ve used! Doesn’t harden too fast or too slow, think this would be the best wax for a beginner. Melts at a medium temperature, it’s perfect, and very easy to work with,” wrote one reviewer on Walmart, where the product is $13. However, @lovekimrizzo saw the same thing for $1.25 at Dollar Tree.

“Maybelline Fit Me! stick foundation in Dollar Tree? What is going on?” exclaimed shopper @yourtiktocksister, when she found the makeup item for $1.25 at her store.

According to the product description, the foundation stick “absorbs excess oil and reduces the appearance of shine… minimizes the appearance of pores… and leaves a natural matte finish.” And at Walmart, it’ll cost you between $9 and $15.
