Twinpop coupon/Dollar Tree food

Twinpop coupon/Dollar Tree food

I went to Dollar Tree this week ~ I love that store. And I am always on the lookout for food items there. I’m just so fascinated by food from Dollar Tree especially if made my American companies.

This is what I remember seeing this week. Of course, there’s a lot more than this. But this is what caught my eye.

  • Green Giant frozen veggies
  • Sargento cheese
  • Fudge Bars !!! <—- I got this!! And they are good! Yeah, I’m not supposed to eat them according to my doc. But I won’t tell if you won’t tell.

I researched the company that makes the fudge bars. They are located in W. Virginia. Here is a coupon for their products, wo-hoo!

Dollar Tree doesn’t take coupons but you can use this coupon at another store. I normally don’t post coupons for processed food, but sometimes I make an exception.

Passed along to you from my taste buds.

Food @ Dollar Tree

Food @ Dollar Tree

There is a brand new Dollar Tree that has opened up near me. I always said there should be one in my area. Seems like someone else had the same idea. I popped in to see what they were up to. I purchased a food product.

I used to be very leery of food from Dollar Tree. I wasn’t sure of the quality. One day I took a chance and bought some vanilla wafers (shhh, don’t tell).  They were good!

I called a friend and told her about the cookies (they really were good but I can’t have them anymore — wheat allergy). Friend knew the product very well. The company is located in the state she is from and grew up eating that brand. That did it for me. I have not been afraid since.

As a matter of fact, I’ve noticed that a lot of DT’s food products are produced by American companies. And I research them too.

So I purchased a 12-ounce bag of frozen blueberries from Dollar Tree ($1). I discovered the company (TJ Farms http://www.tjfarmsweb.com/)  is in Idaho and does not use artificial ingredients in their products! What a great surprise!  And the blueberries were good! I made one of the best smoothies ever with those blueberries.

A produced in America is different from being “distributed” by an American company that imports from China; not big on that yet. Example: I was in Walgreens one day and asked a manager when they were getting in a certain drink product. I was told the shipment had not come in from China yet. China! Uh, say wha! That also helped open my mind to DT food!

produce bags – why sew

produce bags – why sew


i know many of u have seen those produce bags that many crafters out there make. well, why sew them. i found this idea on Frugal Living NW; she uses Tidy totes! from dollar tree! . . . pick up a pack or two for someone who cant afford it.

anyway, i decided to give it a try. i loved it!

since i take my own reusable shopping bags to the store anyway (most stores pay money for using ur own bags), taking these little guys along is really simple. i put them in a zip pocket on the front of one of my shopping bags.

and using them is tooooo easy. first, i dont have to stand in line and wait to get one of those plastic ones. u know how that is! the person in front of you is really slow at removing them.

and they are easier to deal with than trying to get those plastic bags open . . . u know what i mean . . . the tops of those plastic jobbies always want to stick together and u gotta use spit to get them undone. i have even had one upside down trying to get it open! time-waster!

i purchased 2 packs of these totes at my local dollar tree for $1 a 4-pack. these things are $3.99 at Ace hardware store (see for yourself).

one time when i was at the checkout, the cashier asked me why i had them; she thought they did something special to the fruit. i told her no, i’m just into that recycle thing. she thought the whole idea was sooo cute and convenient. i think she ran out to dollar tree when her shift was up.

so have fun with these. and think of more creative uses for them!
