"As I'm sure you're aware, Dollar Tree does actually have a couple of aisles dedicated to housewares and kitchen," says Turinsky in a recent TikTok video. "But did you know that Dollar Tree actually carries full lines of dinnerware sets?"
"They have full-size dinner plates, salad plates, bowls, silverware, you name it, all for $1.25 a piece" she points out.
In her video, she holds up gray ceramic dinnerware that looks like it could have come from Crate & Barrel. However, Dollar regularly rotates in seasonal dishes and accessories, too.
2. Full-size calendars

As Turinsky notes, you may also know that you can get cheap office supplies and back-to-school items at Dollar Tree. But what you might not know is that they also sell full-size wall and desk calendars.
At Walmart, themed calendars like these start at $9, but of course, at Dollar Tree, they're just $1.50.

Again, you likely know that you can pick up socks at the dollar store. "But did you know that Dollar Tree carries designer and high-end brands for $1.25?" asks Turinsky.
"This Snugadoo brand currently retails at Walmart for $9.99 a pair, and [Dollar Tree has] a ton of different options to choose from, and they are super soft and stretchy," she adds.
Turinsky also spotted Beverly Hills Polo Club socks at her Dollar Tree, which she says normally retail for $9.99 as well.
4. Kids' and men's bath and body products

The beauty and skincare aisles at Dollar Tree are arguably the most popular sections of the store, especially since the merchandise here is constantly changing. TikTok is full of female shoppers sharing their Dollar Tree makeup and body-care hauls—but this isn't the only demographic the store is reaching.
"Did you know that Dollar Tree carries kids' and men's bath and body products?" says Turinsky. "They have everything from bubble bath and body washes for kids all the way up to shampoos, body washes, bar soaps, and face masks for men, all for only $1.25."

At most Dollar Tree locations, you can find eyeglass and sunglass cases, but Turinsky points out that they've started carrying dupes for high-end eyewear brands, including Pit Viper, which normally retail for $100.
"They come in a ton of different lens shades," she notes.
6. Boxer briefs

This last category might be a surprise to you because it's brand new at Dollar Tree.
"For only $1.25, you're gonna start seeing men's and kids' boxer briefs, and these are going to be in a multitude of sizes and colors," Turinsky shares. "And they're also carrying the ribbed tanks, and you can find these in white or black and obviously a variety of sizes."
