Libby’s Chunk Pineapple
Price: $1.25 for 20 ounces
A can of Libby’s Chunk Pineapple at Dollar Tree, on average, is 50 cents less than at bigger brand names in stores like Walmart, Target or Costco. It’s a perfect and refreshing addition to any barbecue or fruit salad.
Salt
Price: 79 cents for 26 ounces
This popular pantry staple has endless uses in the kitchen, so when you can save on salt, make sure to do so. Stay stocked with this bargain from Dollar Tree. The same amount at bigger grocery stores will be much too salty for your budget.
Mother’s Maid Apple Pie Filling
Price: $1.50 for 15 ounces
A can of Mother’s Maid Apple Pie Filling only costs you $1.25. The only thing more American than apple pie at your next gathering with family and friends is telling them how much you saved on making it.
Kraft Mac & Cheese
Price: $1.50 for a 7.25-ounce box
If you’re looking to stay in and have some comfort food, definitely stock up at Dollar Tree. Kraft mac and cheese is an inexpensive family pleaser, as even the chef deserves a break this summer.
Breckenride Farms Kosher Pickle Spears
Price: $1.50 for 17 ounces
Reviewers love this Dollar Tree deal as it currently has a 4.4 out of 5-star rating. Great for a packable lunch, to throw on a sandwich or just to snack on to increase your electrolytes, Dollar Tree has an option to save on these pickle spears.
