I like their frozen ravioli. I make a baked dish with it by layering it with spaghetti sauce from Dollar tree and some cheese. I then bake at 375 until bubbly and starting to brown
Pancake and sausage meal
Family size cereal
Goya rice
Fajita blend
Cinnamon and sugar blend
Oatmeal
Pop tarts
Boxes of icecream
Energy drinks
Protein shakes
Sugar free packets
Sazon packets
Polish sausage
Box of donuts
Tv dinners
Pizzas
Pasta, Alfredo sauce, frozen shrimp all from the dollar tree.  I usually will add fresh tomatoes and spinach if I have it. If not it’s all good just like that
They have individual servings of Olive Garden salad dressing and sometimes Hidden Valley ranch dressing. The pizza crusts are good and I love the olives and mushrooms for pasta salad
Frozen peppers & onions, chips, microwave popcorn, bread when I can find it, tijan , spaghetti n meatballs for hubby, pink Himalayan salt, noodle bowls but I forget the name lol sunny D
I get the bags of popcorn, lance cracker boxes of little packs, sometimes I find pop tarts the name brand ones, honeybuns in boxes
Minute Maid frozen cups
Icee cups like 4 in a box ones
Super pretzel, Minute Maid, Oreos, Pic Fresh frozen vegetables, Jimmy deans frozen breakfast sandwiches, Hi Chew candy, Werthers original. Those are items that we sometimes get coupons for. They end up being pretty cheap. I’m a crazy coupon lady.
2 things that I love to eat from dollar tree… the dehydrated strawberries are delicious and around 5$ at the grocery store. Also, local DTs sometimes have reeces pieces sundaes with peanut butter that are so good and worth 1.25$
Dollar TREE…not much. They don’t have much in terms of food at ours. Canned goods and spices…yes. Cold and frozen…no. And it’s mostly imitation stuff in that area. Even the sour cream. But you can get canned goods, juices, spices, etc
They have good breakfast stuff, like cereal, oatmeal, pancake mix usually. Assorted canned goods, I look for oysters, salmon and albacore tuna that comes in regularly. Tons of non-perishables come through like pasta and sauce, snack crackers, nuts, cookies, and random things. Before they raised their prices to $1.25, I would just get what all I couldn’t get less than one dollar at the regular store. Now, I look for specific items I know are a good value that I listed off above.
Everything they sell basically. Pasta sizes. Canned soups. Boxed max and cheese. Seasonings. Condiments. Since becoming 1.25$ the selection is pretty decent. Name brand items that cost more at supermarket. Just gotta go and see what you like, want, and need. Price compare for size/quantity. Can’t go wrong though they have a lot of good stuff
I go to the doller tree 3 or 4 times and month I have and list There are a lot of I terms I get there Even though they are and 1.25 know .I love the frozen food section .Meatballs kalbasa the sasage and yes the vegetables section and fruit is excellent they are smaller than the retail stores but they are not 4 and 5 dollers and bag for 1 or 2 it’s perfect.they have a good selection in the chip section yes they are and little smaller we don’t need all.the junk .I can keep.going but everyone that shops there will know just look at the amounts and how much you need
The Dollar Tree closest to me doesn’t have frozen/refrigerator food but when I lived in WV it had tons of food items. I liked everything except the cheese.
Mostly snacks. Their canned Swanson Chicken Ala King is really good, it is a $1.72 at Walmart so $1.00 at Dollar Tree is a good deal. You can serve it over rice, mashed potatoes or pasta. It makes a hearty but cheap meal. I buy their pink salt too.
I love that they have the Harvest Snaps in the individual packs. The only other place I know that has those is the Walmart in Mattoon. The tomato basil lentil crisps are my favorite. I could eat them every day.
I have only bought bread there. The Texas giant bread freezes well for school lunches and doesn’t go bad as soon as u open it. Candy for crafts are cheaper also
2 of their frozen beef patties, a can of sloppy Joe mix, and a box of garlic bread. Mince beef, add sauce, eat over garlic bread. Less than $5, it’s savory and will fill your belly up. Just did this a few nights ago and was not bad at all!

There is a girl on tiktok that does full meals from dollar tree and they look so good! @dollartreedinners
I would suggest Dollar general, too. I get a lot of groceries and hygiene products from there.
They sell a bag of frozen pepper strips and onions that works well for fajitas.
I’ve actually made meals from the freezer great for a few eggs and sausage I’ve done some of the other things also
