If you’re someone who depends on Dollar Tree for affordable everyday items, it’s time to take note—prices are going up! Social media platforms like TikTok.

have been buzzing with discussions about this change, and it’s worth paying attention to.

While Dollar Tree has long been known for its $1 price point, recent reports confirm that inflation and supply chain challenges are pushing the retailer to adjust its pricing strategy.

This means some items may soon cost more than the iconic dollar we’ve come to expect.

For those curious about the specifics, a quick Google search will provide more details, as the news is spreading fast.

While Dollar Tree has been a go-to for budget-friendly shopping, this shift might prompt shoppers to rethink their strategies or explore alternative stores.

Whether it’s household essentials, party supplies, or snacks, the price increase could impact your budget.

Stay informed and plan ahead to make the most of your shopping trips!

Tariffs, my guess. Even the threat of tariffs will cause stores to preemptively raise prices

I feel like prices are going up everywhere though. I was at a local thrift store the other day and noticed that baby clothes that used to be marked $1.00 every time I went (like shirts) are now $2.00, sometimes $3.00.

Also, items like random items that used to be marked $1.00 or less, are now $1.50 or more.

I used to have fun at thrift stores, but the other day was a shock. I’ll be sad if Dollar Tree keeps going up.

I miss those $1.00 prices when I have to buy 10 or more of something. That extra quarter adds up fast!!

Dollar Tree is VERY popular with many video influencers. I love watching and learning neat ideas.

Our local store mostly separates the isles that have the higher priced items.

And those items are a good deal as well. Home decor, storage bins, rugs and a few electronics.

Those stores with higher prices are called dollar tree plus stores. This happened like two years ago….

It has nothing to do with the current economy.

It has been this way in Wisconsin for a few years now….

They don’t change the large dollar tree sign on the building but the stickers on the door will say plus.

For a business that has not raised their prices every quarter, every 6 months, or even every year.

The world will not end for us with this happening.

So, I worked in one of their warehouses for 10 yrs and my hubby has been there for 11 now and this has been something they have been moving towards since dollartree bought out family dollar years ago.

It’s just now getting to the west coast as I think it mostly started in Midwest areas (or where ever the family dollars are located) they’ve been moving towards multi price for a while now as it gives them a broader customer base, atleast thats what has been explained to us over the years.

As far as the $1 to the 1.25 hike I wouldn’t doubt if that goes up again as that jump was following the hike in tariffs and with what’s going on in the world thats a real possibility.

Most of dollartrees stuff comes from China.

No matter where I go if I am not satisfied with the price the item will stay on the shelf.

Probably didn’t need it anyway.

I can get a lot items at dollar tree for cheaper at other stores. Never had their cereal but my dollar tree has 10-12oz box of cereal for $1.25.

No idea if the cereal went up this month.

[Kimberly]

Depending on where you live. The price of everything is going up

[Amy]

Sooo many things are cheaper elsewhere. And Dollar Tree quality is usually not good.

I only buy a few things there, everything else is cheaper on clearance or other stores.

[Anita]

I noticed the rise in prices about 2 weeks ago. Items for $1.50….$3.00 mixed right in with the $1.25 items and NOT in a designated row.

[Christienne]

I wouldn’t mind so much, except the previous $1 versions are being replaced with the more expensive ones and it defeats the purpose, and my budget
