The No. 1 Kitchen Find You Should Always Buy at Dollar Tree

There’s something fun about walking through a Dollar Tree. Whether you're perusing seasonal Christmas decorations or hunting for brand-name make-up deals, it's a treasure hunt every time.

As a mom of two who’s always looking to save money while feeding my family, I even grocery shop at Dollar Tree. From individual-sized bags of Skinny Pop popcorn to frozen veggies, the $1.25 store has become a weekly stop for restocking my kitchen.

In fact, there’s one grocery item I always buy at Dollar Tree: spices.

Why Dollar Tree Is the Best Place to Stock Your Spice Rack

Dollar Tree always stocks the essentials—like paprika, garlic powder, and oregano—for just $1.25 a jar. I’ve also become a fan of the store's spice blends, like seasoning salt, garlic and herb seasoning, and a cilantro-lime blend that’s oh-so-good sprinkled on tacos.

Since most of the jars in Dollar Tree’s spice aisle are three ounces or larger, I know I’m getting a much better price on essentials than I would at the grocery store. And, if I try a spice blend and don’t love it, I never feel bad tossing it out since it was so affordable.

More Flavors to Try From Dollar Tree's Spice Aisle

I’ve purchased everything from crushed red pepper flakes to black peppercorns at Dollar Tree, and love trying different spice blends like tomato-basil seasoning, steakhouse seasoning, and spicy Sriracha seasoning. The store makes it easy to keep my spice rack fully stocked and try new spice blends I wouldn't splurge on at a traditional grocery store.

Next time you’re near a Dollar Tree, stop in and check out the spice aisle. You just might find a new-to-you spice blend your whole family loves. Sure, Dollar Tree is the perfect spot to stock up on things like inexpensive batteries, paper goods, and school supplies, but it’s also a hidden gem for finding affordable and flavorful spices that can really elevate your cooking game while staying within your grocery budget.
