My Dollar Tree Project: Shampoo, toothbrushes, ziplock bags, and more!

I've always been a fan of Dollar Tree. However, I will admit, I thought it was more for finding cheap gift bags and crafting supplies. Over time I've been trying more and more products from Dollar Tree. I started out trying things like Ziplock bags and parchment paper. Last month, I decided to take a much bigger plunge and start my supplies shopping here and thought I would get whatever I couldn't find from Walgreens, Dollar General, or Kroger. To my suprise, there wasn't much I couldn't get! I got us all new toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, and found some super cute dress up costumes for the kids. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking it's a bunch of cheap stuff and you get what you pay for. Wrong. I got colgate brand toothbrushes and toothpaste. The exact same brand I would have gotten elsewhere. I got softsoap hand soap. That's my favorite brand that I've always bought everywhere else. The costumes, sure they're cheap. They aren't high quality. But they're a DOLLAR! My kids have had the best time with those costumes! They've definitely been worth every penny. The shampoo is one I originally decided to blog about. I got a brand called White Rain. Now, hear me out. I know it's a "cheap brand". However, my hair is amazing! My hair has never been shinier or softer. I used to use Treseme, Herbal Essences, or Pantene Pro-V. I never used high quality salon shampoo so I can't speak on my personal comparison to those but I can absolutely say without a doubt I love this White Rain shampoo! I've been using it for over a month now and just finished the first bottle. A month of shampoo for a dollar! That's 1/5 of what I was spending! One day I used my Herbal Essences I was using because I thought I would just finish off that bottle. My hair felt.. sticky? I think that's how I would describe it. It just didn't have the soft, clean feel that I was having with the White Rain. I used to wash my hair once a week with Dawn dishwashing liquid just to strip all the excess oil from my hair. I no longer need to use that. I feel like the shampoo I was using was causing build up.
In conclusion, I'm really proud of the products I've been able to find at Dollar Tree. I now search there first when I need something. Plus, I still get my craft stuff there as well!
