Cotton Bath Towels
Target price: $14 (two count)
Dollar Tree price: $3
Dollar Tree sells a cotton bath towel for $3, but some shoppers say it sheds fluff and doesn't dry well. So it may not be worth your money. Target’s two-count pack of quick-dry ribbed towels has thousands of positive reviews. If you want 100% cotton towels that will last long, go for Target’s set.
Aluminum Foil
Target price: $6.49 (75 feet)
Dollar Tree price: $1.75 (15 feet)
Dollar Tree’s price tags may seem like a great deal, but how much aluminum foil are you getting? A 15-foot roll of Reynolds aluminum foil wrap at Dollar Tree costs $1.75, about 12 cents per square foot.
Target sells the same item in a different size: 75-foot roll of Reynolds aluminum foil wrap goes for $6.49 or 9 cents per square foot. This means you’ll be saving money at Target.
AA Batteries
Target price: $6.59 (eight count)
Dollar Tree price: $5 (four count)
A 4-pack of Energizer Max AA batteries at Dollar Tree is $5, or $1.25 per battery. Target sells an eight-pack of the same Energizer Max AA batteries for $6.59, about 82 cents a piece. You'll pay more at the checkout, but each battery costs you less at Target.
