Listen. I want to tell you guys about the Dollar Tree. If you ever need to rebuild your life fast, you want a dollar tree. Everything in a dollar tree costs one dollar. No exceptions. Nothing has a price tag. Everything is one dollar. 

This is Dollar Tree not Dollar General. 

Dollar Tree looks like this: 

Their stuff is off-brand but decent quality.  

Here are some things you can buy at the dollar tree for one dollar: 

– any kind of makeup- foundation, eyeshadow, lipstick, lip gloss, mascara, etc

– socks

– Sports bras (sometimes) 

– combs, brushes, hairclips, scrunchies, hair ties, headbands

– clothes hangers, laundry bags, mothballs

– any kind of office supplies or school supplies. Staplers, pencils, posterboard, pencils, pens, etc. 

– party supplies including paper plates and balloons

– all kinds of toiletries- shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, washcloths, deodorant, razors, shaving cream, nailclippers, etc. Decent sizes, too. 

– ceramic/glass plates, bowls, cups

– reading glasses, sunglasses

– plastic buckets

– cleaning supplies, detergent, bleach, laundry syrup, fabric softener, dish soap, sponges. brooms 

– electronics, headphones, night lights, phone chargers, batteries, screen cleaners, phone cases

Basically? If you ever get kicked out of your house or find yourself with a couple bucks and nothing else, get thee to a dollar tree. 

All the dollar tree stores I have been in have some sort of medical aisle too. Its actually where I went first when my tooth broke for some off brand orajel (Works much faster and better than orajel imo, longer too if you put it on a cotton ball and keep it in the area) And sometimes even emergency temp tooth repair kits, which are at least $7 elsewhere.
Dollar tree is a miracle.

They also carry Tupperware and pet supplies. I wouldn’t feed dollar store dog and cat food to mine long term but if you’re in a bind it’s a decent temporary solution. They also carry people food. It’s not a great deal because they come in small quantities but it’ll carry you in an emergency.

Also not just bowls and plates. They have cookware like spatulas, oven mitts, even baking pans. And sometimes if you’re lucky they’ll have name brands. I have some Betty Crocker brand stuff. I’ve found Revlon and Milani in the makeup section. The ones I’ve been in also sell tampons and pads.
