Spark Create Imagine Soft Bear Plush
Price: $8.88
You can purchase a plush bear with a ribbon at Dollar Tree for $10 or save $1.12 on a plush bear from Spark Create Imagine at Walmart. And if you prefer a different plushie, you can choose from a variety of animals, including bunnies, cows, pandas and more, all at the same price as the bear.
Cheez-It Crackers
Price: $3.38
Dollar Tree and Walmart carry 12.4-ounce boxes of Cheez-It crackers, but rollback pricing means you’re saving more money at the big-box store. No such discount is available at Dollar Tree, where the same snacks retail for $4 a box.
Sterilite Small Bathroom Trash Can
Price: $2.98
Surprisingly, it costs $3 more to buy a rectangular trash can from Dollar Tree. Though it’s only available in white, a similarly proportioned trash can from the Sterilite brand is the better deal.
Great Value Silver Cupcake Liners
Price: $1.24
Need cupcake liners while baking up a batch of muffins and cupcakes? You can find 48-count sets at Dollar Tree and Walmart, but the in-house Great Value brand is 76 cents cheaper.
Play Day Pail and Shovel Set
Price: $0.98
Ahead of summer days spent at the beach, shoppers save more money on Walmart’s Play Day pail and shovel set.
This outdoor fun duo is already an excellent deal for less than a dollar, but similar plastic beach pails and shovels cost $1.75 at Dollar Tree. That’s 77 cents you could be putting toward the purchase of a foam noodle for the pool.
