Dollar Tree serves as a quick stop for cheap supplies. The shelves are often adequately stocked with a wide variety of items, including an expanded craft selection. The store is typically clean with polite workers. However, prices have risen above one dollar, now often $1.25 or more, which some find disappointing. The merchandise can sometimes be substandard or in small sizes. While new items arrive frequently, sections can be a mess and picked over, needing attention. It provides an average shopping experience for basic, inexpensive goods.
