Prepare to be dazzled by the savings in our summer Dollar Tree haul. This medley of summer-friendly essentials for the beach, home and everywhere in between all boast prices as low as $1.25. They’re also near-accurate dupes for much more expensive items you can buy at Nordstrom.

Want the price difference? You’d pay $216.99 for seven similar items sold at Nordstrom compared to $14.75 total spent at Dollar Tree. (Don’t you just love bargain hunting?)

Here’s our breakdown of the $15 Dollar Tree summer haul that looks like Nordstrom but costs so much less.

  • Price: $5

Dollar Tree’s selection of $5 Turkish towels are nearly identical to the Feelgoodz towels, which cost $30 at Nordstrom.

The biggest difference, obvs, is you’re saving $25 per towel at the discount retailer. Pack your favorite style along for a beach day or picnic afternoon.

  • Price: $3

This selection of scented candles with metal lids bears a striking resemblance to Nordstrom’s Voluspa jar candles, which retail for $38 apiece.

You can’t beat $35 in savings! Choose from energize (citrus bliss) or calming (amber and rose) fragrances to refresh your home throughout the summer months.

  • Price: $1.50

Shoppers can find plenty of pebble glass stemless glasses at Nordstrom and typically in sets of four. But the downside is that a four-count glassware set can cost as much as $35.99 from brands like Tag.

At Dollar Tree, you’d save significantly more by buying pebbled stemless glasses à la carte or in bulk online. An 18-count set is $27.

  • Price: $1.50

Nordstrom does offer gradient aviators from their BP. brand, but they’re still pretty overpriced compared to DT’s aviator sunglasses. Their sunglasses are $15 each or two for $20.

  • Price: $1.25

House your succulents in style this summer inside a ceramic plant pot. The closest version we could find at Nordstrom were the Jonathan Y four-count planter set for $43. That’s $10.75 per planter compared to Dollar Tree’s unbeatable price tag.

  • Price: $1.25

Switch up your summer beauty routine with glittery lip gloss from L.A. Colors. The closest lip gloss dupe is from Lancôme at a whopping $25 per tube.

  • Price: $1.25

Appearance-wise, B Pure’s bronzer drops look an awful lot like the liquid bronzer from MAC Cosmetics.

While the designer bronzer retails for $30, the drops are just $1.25 and come highly recommended from Dollar Tree shoppers for getting a gorgeous glow.
