I Made a $15 Charcuterie Board With Dollar Tree Items — It Looked Like I Spent $50
Dollar Tree might not carry everything you need for a charcuterie board (a supermarket run is still necessary for gruyere cheese and soppressata), but the discount retailer gets it pretty close. After accepting the challenge of building a Dollar Tree charcuterie board, the bites we selected for savory and sweet boards totaled $14.50 altogether.
Looks like we spent upward of $50 and sourced the items from a specialty market, doesn’t it? Add these 11 items to your Dollar Tree shopping cart so your grocery trip focuses solely on grabbing meat, cheese, veggies and fruit to round out your board of choice.
