“Don't let the name deceive you. This is not a store that sells everything for only $1. They have many different items for many different prices, and Dollar General is not like a dollar store. So when you come in and see that a lot of stuff is not just $1, don't be surprised. That being said, they do still have a great selection, and the store was fairly clean on my last visit.”
“Amazing Savings in Howell is basically the Beis Hamikdash of bargains. You walk in “just for a minute,” and suddenly it’s an hour later, the wagon is full, and you’re trying to chap how this all started with “I only need one plastic tablecloth for Shabbos…”
They mamash have everything – dishes, toys, snacks, crafts for the kids, party supplies, random things you didn’t know exist but now are chiyuvim for your home. It’s the kind of place where you meet half the neighborhood in the aisle and end up farhering each other on who found the better deal.
The prices are classic “Amazing Savings style” – you look at the tag and say, “Nu, for this price, take two, it’s a mitzvah.” Perfect for stocking up before Yomim Tovim, last-minute birthday presents, or when the Rebbetzin decides the whole playroom needs ‘organizing bins’ right now.
Store is spacious, aisles are well stocked, and the staff are friendly and patient even when you’re shlepping three carts and asking a million questions. For heimishe families looking to stretch the budget without giving up on nice things, this location is a must-know address. Five stars – and a strong hazard: “I’m just running into Amazing Savings for five minutes” is the biggest bubbe maiseh of all time.”

“I always have a great experience at Five Below Howell. I don’t typically write reviews but after my recent experience at this location, I wanted to take the time to recognize Sara. Sara is kind, genuinely happy to help and goes above and beyond. Although there are closer locations for me, I will continue to go to Howell because of my positive experience. Sara is a great asset to the store!”

“Store was clean and stocked well. Great place for young children's toys. Stocking stuffers. Filling up your pockets with cheap candy b4 the movies. A great variety of items.”
“This dollar tree is always updating its items and it's great seeing a variety of items available. i enjoy going here for the arizona teas, books and cute animal candy pops.”
“In spite of the prices going up lately on certain items, I definitely still like going to the store pick up a lot of things for home and also from my job scrub, brushes or Ziploc bags. I'm a painter so I definitely use some of the stuff that's in there but I've been going there for years and I highly recommend it”

“I love this store. So many different style curtains to look at. This is a hidden gem. Also not expensive. Beautiful Christmas items at a great price. And also clothes at a very good price. Like I said hidden gem. I go their mainly for the curtains. Different styles and colors. Where else can you go to look and decide what kind of window curtains you like? To see and feel texture. Nowhere but here?”
“Public service announcement: DO NOT come to this Dollar Tree for Pokémon cards if you actually want to get Pokémon cards.
They do get them. That’s the wild part. They absolutely exist here… for about 3.7 seconds. By the time you walk in, blink, and head toward the toy aisle, they’re already gone like a rare spawn that despawned the moment you logged in.
Store itself? Totally fine. Clean, stocked, classic Dollar Tree experience. Just understand this is not the place for Pokémon card optimism. Come for snacks and party supplies, not packs.
Verdict: 4 stars. Great store. Terrible odds.”*”

“I have been going in looking for Dumplings for a few weeks. Every time I came in Nicholas Lardieri was there smiling, and willing to help anyone that walked in the door. Always a warm smile and friendly tone. He even told me about something similar to Dumplings to hold my kids over. Without his input I would not have known about the other toy that made my kids equally happy.”

“This is my third Dollar Tree location, and overall it’s solid. The store is clean, aisles are mostly organized, and it’s easy to get in and out without feeling overwhelmed. You can tell there’s effort being put into keeping the place presentable.
Not quite perfect, but definitely one of the better Dollar Tree experiences.
Verdict: 4 stars. Clean, convenient, and dependable.”*”
“I've shopped at many dollar trees but this is truly my favorite. I tend to run into the same worker these days (Marissa) when I go in on my afternoons off, she has hepled me more and answered more questions than any other employee there. She's definitely knowledgeable and her service had been a 10 every time, always a smile and brightness to my days lately. I won't be bothering with any other Dollar Trees anymore this is now my home store. Will definitely be recommending to everyone.”
“Love a good night time stroll in ollies. The employees were all friendly and helpful. Always something to find you never know what you're missing until you shop through ollies. Some random finds when you're in the right place at the right time. Thanks ollies. GOOD STUFF CHEAP.”

“Our dollar General is great. They offer many discounted food items as well as over the counter drugs and other household items. We go there almost every day to get milk/dairy and snacks. They also offer 5 dollar discounts on your purchases refundable on Saturdays.”
“I love that store the people working there are warm and friendly will stop what they are doing to help you of course with a smile don't know what I would do with out them and a little smile doesn't hurt thanks”
“I've shopped at many Dollar Tree stores all over Ocean County, and this store was the best I've ever seen. It was extremely well organized, clean, and the employees were working efficiently. Very pleased.”
“Always amazed at some of what this place has, and always disappointed as I reflect on how much more expensive places like Walmart can be for some of these things. Of course some things are not a deal here but for the most part this is a fun once a week adventure.”
“Will was top tier, he assisted me with every piece of my transaction and found the exact products I was looking for. He stated he was new to the store, I was shocked as he was incredibly informed on all the products. Incredibly helpful.”

“This particular Dollar General is located just outside my neighborhood so it's convenient for me to go to this one. However, it's very messy and not very well stocked. The employees are overworked and dragging through their day. I've had a few vent to me about working 70+ hrs a week, every new employee they higher quits within the 1st few days. I see the same 2 women employees working daily. It's quite obvious that the brunt of this store's operation is on their shoulders. They are unable to keep up with the daily tasks with it just being them. You can see that the store is taking a big hit and is becoming run down. It's a mess.. plastic on the floors, many palettes of merchandise are taking up the floors every which way you turn. Something needs to he done.”

“This new is clean, organized and has the best customer service. The employees are helpful and friendly. One of the employees recommended that I try a brand of coffee that I don't typically buy and it turned out to be the best coffee I've ever had! I go out of my way to visit this particular store. They are the best!”
“Tatianna is wonderful. I’ve been here a few times in the store is always stocked with what I need. The woman with the tattoos and footprints is wonderful as well. She was so helpful! Thank you.”
“I always find what I need at this Dollar General! The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the prices are amazing. It's my go-to spot for everyday essentials!”
“I have a theory. A conspiracy, if you will. Every time I walk into this Dollar General, the shelves are stocked with everything EXCEPT Pokémon cards and Hot Wheels. Coincidence? I think not.
I’m starting to believe there’s a secret underground operation where the employees get first dibs, crack packs in the back room, and race Hot Wheels down the aisles after hours. Again—no proof. Just vibes. STRONG vibes.
Store itself? Clean, convenient, gets the job done. But until I witness a single Pokémon blister pack in the wild, I will remain suspicious.
Verdict: 4 stars. Solid Dollar General, but I’m watching you… and so is my inner child.”*”
“I visit this Dollar General pretty much every day. Staff are always kind and helpful. I need to acknowledge Rebecca in particular for really going out of her way to greet my daughter and I each time we shop. Rebecca is so friendly and has been super sweet to my daughter. She is so hardworking and knows the store inside and out. I haven't had a question yet that she hasn't answered immediately. Very grateful to have such a welcoming, convenient neighborhood store.”
