From an ex-wedding planner, keep your candles in the freezer and if SHTF, put them in a cooler. It doubles the burn time.

I used to work at Energizer. They made NUMEROUS brands of batteries- all the same thing but with different labels, most were cheapy brands. If they needed more stock for some brand, another brand went through a delabeler machine which ripped off the label, and then was relabeld as a new brand. So don't worry about what brand batteries are, the size is all that matters!

I would put those solar landscape lights outside in the sun during the day and every evening I would bring them inside my house and set them around all the rooms. My house was so beautiful with the ambience of those lights. I think I’ll do it again. I never had to turn lights on after dark! But truly the ambience was so worth it!!

Two stainless steel dog bowls. You can cook, bake, boil, & eat from them. A pair of pliers and a couple of binder clips let you move them or securely cover one with the other.

Dollar Tree also has small alcohol burner cans for cooking, the type caterers use to keep food warm. These burn for about 2 hours, and are safe for use indoors, a real plus for cooking in cold weather or for a grid-down situation. These cans are usually located on a lower shelf in the party decoration section, near the baby shower decorations for some reason.

My high school chemistry teacher would always yell at us for buying name brand aspirin. She told us to compare the ingredients on the back label and to go with whatever had the best value because a lot of it is the same stuff with different packaging.

Just a quick note that you will get much more light out of a white candle in a clear glass container than any colored or decorated jar candles. Thanks!

Women’s items!! It always shocks me how few preppers with wives and daughters mention this. Then again, it is a bit awkward and taboo I suppose...I keep small dollar tree packs with pads, pain reliever and icy hot pads to barter and/or give to those in dire need. It will certainly be a high demand item :)

[patriciapensyl]

I love the idea of storing the batteries in empty ammo cases

As far as extreme cleaning, Awesome is probably the best I've ever seen.
Testimonial?
You got it.
I pave roads and driveways, all blacktop.
You would not believe how dirty the equipment and clothes get!
Tried Awesome in my laundry, and it gets out just about everything when you use a front-loader.
Hands? A spritz of that, and the tar almost vanishes.
Over the summer, I would spray the paving machine and strategic areas on the trucks, and let it sit.
Every morning.
I don't know how, but this stuff gets in, and I NEVER scrub that crap, it would just ruin a brush.
After a rain, the black stuff would ROLL off.
It had such an effect, that the crew noticed after about a month.
This stuff even breaks up dried diesel fuel residue that is a decade old!
Even heavy duty name brand cleaners won't do that!
Heck, it won't even take out grease!

Geez, I'm sounding like a

Medical professional tip: generic meds are the same as name brand. They are the exact same drug. Just an fyi

Dish gloves. They are a great cheap waterproof layer over thin warm gloves when out in the elements, use in a small cleaning/disinfection kit, and protect your hands from bleach water when doing laundry/sanitizing dishes in a grid down situation.

I bought a 100 pack of tea light candles from Walmart (Mainstays brand) the other day for $5. Much better deal than anywhere I've found elsewhere.

[wendymathews]

If you can’t find the plastic drop cloths (which are huge!), get the shower curtains. They aren’t quite as big as the drop cloths, but would totally work. Also good to put under a sleeping bag if you’re sleeping on the ground to keep moisture out. Excellent video!

[danacampbell]

Reading glasses and sunglasses are two of my must haves at the dollar tree.

[elizabethcoward]

You can do an online order for a case of each desired product and have it shipped to your local store for pickup and you won't be charged for shipping!

Get that pink Himalayan salt when they have it! Good for prep. Good for food. MUCH cheaper than other stores.

Around Christmas, Dollar Tree Stores in my area have been selling cranking flashlights.

I buy hygiene, first aid, vitamin and cleaning supplies each trip. Foil pans for cooking on the fire pit are another thing that I stock up on every trip. Battery operated tea lights are good for emergency lights.

Shelf Stable milk in the carton is the most important thing that I stock up on at Dollar Tree. Because of my allergies, most powder milk products are not good for me because I have severe reaction to certain chemicals.

I own a survival supply company, and I would have to concur that these are indeed some pretty solid picks. Dry goods food items are also a good pick for Dollar Tree items. Dry good items typically have a naturally very long shelf life, and even the off brands would make great barter items.
