One thing that's definitely a "pass" for me is any type of kitchen utensil. I outfitted my kitchen when I moved to a new apartment. I got mixing spoons, spatulas, tongs, all of that sort of thing, at the Dollar Tree, and they broke within a month or two. I ended up buying more expensive versions anyway. <br />I just wanted to say about the canned Lobster and Shrimp spreads...I believe I've seen the same brand at World Market and other expensive retailers! So while I understand if it's not to your taste (it's not to mine, either), those who like it would definitely be getting a deal at the Dollar Tree!

In regards to the toothpaste, just make sure it is manufactured in the US because some of it is from Mexico and they do not have the same standards of fluoride as we do, they are allowed to put much more then we are, may be due to less availability of good care.<br /> I would also like to comment on the OTC bottle of sleep aid of "relax and sleep".
