My favorite Dollar Tree buy was one of those giant calculators. It lasted 3 years and got used almost daily. Not bad for a buck.
As far as Dollar General goes I keep my eyes open for their end of season and after holiday clearence. Last week they had socks and underwear 75% off so I was able to get socks and underwear for the whole family plus get the kids socks and underwear for school next year for right around $10 total.
Holiday items eventually go on sale 90% off but if it's something you really want or need it's better to buy at 50%-75% off. So that you have a better selection to choose from.
