So Dollar Tree sells dies now

Hmm wonder if they are knock offs made in China?

I pass by a Dollar Tree on my way home. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for posting.

I stopped in my Dollar Tree the other day for some essentials (aluminum foil, bags), and discovered they had a whole new craft section with a variety of crafts. I didn't see dies, but I picked up a pair of paper piercers-- I like them for unclogging bottles. I have a wood handled one from CTMH that I'm sure was like $8, so two for a dollar was ideal.

I'm going to stop at DT tomorrow after work to see if I can find some.

I’m not holding my breath that I’ll see any at my Dollar Tree.  They never have things I see others talking about.

Same with mine. I haven't been in a Dollar Tree since last May and they didn't have anything I was looking for so I just stopped going. Maybe when I get vaccinated I'll go back and check out what they have and give them another chance. I also stopped watching Dollar Tree hauls because they just made me bitter that all the DT's around me suck.

I stopped going to DT (pre-pandemic) because dollars add up quickly. It was those Youtube DT DIY'ers that were doing it to me. And when it comes to the good stuff I never seem to find it either. Well mostly not.

I’ve purchased generic shapes and alphabet letters (very plain) from Amazon. They work fine for what I do.

As far as DT, I keep seeing the cutest crafting supplies in FB groups, etc. Mine has zero craft supplies. None. Well unless you count glue and other generic supplies. I’m always disappointed that mine doesn’t carry anything. I haven’t been in DT other than a quick trip for a Christmas gift bag in December.

I dislike videos but watched because I love her accent. I mean, did she make cauldron a three syllable word? Thanks for posting link!

I don't know this youtuber, but I do wonder where she is. When they crafter's square section came out, it took MONTHS for my area to see it. NY and TX people I follow were some of the first mentions I'd seen of it, so I wonder if my area will see it sooner or a long while down the road. Sometimes we're right there with everyone else and sometimes, it's a long wait. I have a friend who also loves DT, so we're gonna be on the lookout for ourselves and each other.

Finding out their truck schedules might be handy.  I have one nearby that (as far as I know...I don't shop there like I used to so it could have changed) gets their truck on Wednesdays and the larger, more popular one gets theirs on Thursday (I know this to still be true for this store because I sometimes go there while they're still unpacking on Fridays).  By the time I go on the weekend, all the best stuff is usually gone unless they're really swamped with stuff to put out.  If you're looking for hot items, the closer to truck day you go, the more likely you are to find it/them.

None at the DT near work. Oh well.

If you go to their website and the Find a Store tab, then you can click on 5 or more different sections in many stores like Crafter's Square and Frozen Foods.  I click on all of them except the EBT choice and then it shows you the stores nearest you that are their bigger stores.  If you only click Crafter's Square, they all seem to show up since all stores carry a limited amount of that brand.  I use this to find out which stores in my area are more likely to be larger (flagship) and carry the items I see on YouTube hauls.  I have six in the southern part of my town that are considered flagship stores.  I haven't seen dies yet, but am guessing they will take a while for many of the larger stores to carry.
