in this video we’re going to go over the
00:01
top 10 preps to buy at dollar tree upon
00:03
every visit
00:04
the dollar tree offers a wide variety of
00:06
items where everything is a dollar
00:08
there have been a lot of great videos
00:09
that have come out over the years in the
00:10
preparedness community featuring the
00:12
dollar tree where preppers will go to
00:13
the dollar tree to build a bug
00:14
out bag or just go on a shopping spree
00:16
to find various items that could be used
00:17
for emergency preparers purposes
00:19
to be honest i don’t go to dollar tree
00:20
too often because i like my emergency
00:22
preparedness gear to be built to last
00:24
and for a lot of the items that are at
00:25
dollar tree you kind of get what you pay
00:26
for
00:27
for example i don’t get any of the
00:28
kitchen supplies like the can openers
00:30
because they’re not built with the same
00:31
quality as a brand like oxo when i go
00:33
there i try to stick with name brands so
00:35
no i don’t get the generic duct tape
00:36
over a dollar tree i’d rather spend the
00:38
extra money on gorilla duct tape which
00:40
is far far superior but i do think
00:42
dollar tree is a good place to go to to
00:43
build up preps over time
00:45
for some of the preps you could possibly
00:46
use them for barter or to give away to
00:48
people
00:48
in need during an emergency situation so
00:50
let’s start going through the list of
00:52
the top 10 preps to buy at dollar tree
00:53
upon every visit
00:54
i’m gonna lean more towards items that
00:56
don’t have a shelf life or expire
00:58
so i won’t be featuring any food items
00:59
in the top 10 list although dollar tree
01:01
is a good place to go for a lot of those
01:03
we’ll just cover them in the honorable
01:04
mentions
01:04
let’s get started what i recommend doing
01:06
for a lot of the items in this top 10
01:08
list is to start building up small
01:09
modules
01:10
using those small plastic 5 quart shoe
01:12
boxes you can get these over at dollar
01:14
tree but i like the quality of the
01:16
sterilite ones that you could pick up
01:17
over at home depot or target
01:19
i find them to be a lot better and
01:20
easier to stack the number one prep to
01:22
buy at dollar tree are matches
01:24
i’ve been getting my matches at dollar
01:25
tree for years now i like picking up the
01:27
large strike on box kitchen matches
01:29
they’re plastic wrapped so they have a
01:30
little bit of water protection and i’ve
01:32
been using the matches that i purchased
01:33
over at the dollar tree probably 10
01:34
years ago to this day
01:35
this would be another great barter item
01:36
i also pick up the smaller 32 count of
01:38
the strike on box matches
01:40
these ones work great to have in various
01:42
rooms within your home i recommend
01:43
building up your stash of matches in one
01:45
of those small
01:45
sterilite plastic boxes put a label on
01:47
the front of it and just keep adding to
01:49
it over months and years
01:50
the number two prep to buy at dollar
01:51
tree are candles dollar tree offers a
01:53
wide variety of candles for a dollar
01:55
you could get the tall jesus candles a
01:57
multi-pack of smaller candles and also
01:59
tea light candles
02:00
when you go to the dollar tree candle
02:01
section you’re going to notice that
02:02
jesus is absolutely dominating the tall
02:04
glass candle market however i like just
02:06
picking up the tall glass candles that
02:08
are in white
02:08
although they are available in multiple
02:10
colors after the candles use you could
02:11
always use that glass for something else
02:13
i think the multi-pack candles are also
02:14
a good deal i found that you could get
02:16
the tea light candles in a larger
02:18
quantity for a better deal
02:19
at other places but again at number two
02:21
we have candles and number three we have
02:22
lighters
02:23
dollar tree offers a few different types
02:25
of lighters you could get the big style
02:27
small
02:27
lighters for edc purposes and you could
02:29
also get those longer ones that you
02:30
would use for your barbecue or for
02:31
lighting candles
02:32
if i can’t find the bic lighters at the
02:34
dollar tree at the time that i go
02:36
i usually avoid the generic ones and
02:37
will just pick up an extra of the long
02:39
lighters these work great for adding it
02:40
to various kits
02:41
and can be used for barter purposes so
02:43
number three lighters for number four
02:45
i’ve kind of combined it in a three for
02:46
one and that’s dental items you could
02:48
pick up a new toothbrush
02:50
toothpaste and floss for a dollar each
02:52
dollar tree offers the same brands that
02:54
you would pick up at any other store but
02:55
just for a dollar
02:56
in a previous video i discussed building
02:57
up a small dental hygiene kit
02:59
again using one of those small sterilite
03:01
plastic boxes start doing the same thing
03:03
but just going over the dollar tree for
03:04
your supplies
03:05
so again every time you go to dollar
03:06
tree pick up an extra toothbrush an
03:08
extra tube of toothpaste and extra
03:09
dental floss
03:10
add it to your dental hygiene kit and
03:12
keep building it up over a period of
03:13
months
03:14
again at number four dental supplies at
03:16
number five we have hand sanitizer
03:18
i try to go with the 70 alcohol hand
03:20
sanitizer we all remember at the start
03:21
of the pandemic on how hard it was to
03:23
find hand sanitizer
03:24
so start building up your pandemic
03:26
preparedness kit and just pick up a
03:27
single bottle of hand sanitizer every
03:29
time you go to dollar tree
03:30
and number six we have batteries or what
03:32
i like to call barter batteries
03:34
in a previous video i showed how i store
03:36
my batteries in small ammo cases
03:38
these are my main stash of batteries
03:40
that we use in our home and also for
03:41
emergency purposes
03:42
however i recommend going to dollar tree
03:44
to get your barter batteries
03:45
a small little four pack or eight pack
03:47
of batteries that you could give out
03:49
either for barter purposes or just to
03:50
give away to people during an emergency
03:52
situation
03:52
i try my best to go with more of a name
03:54
brand battery instead of some generic
03:56
one
03:56
although since these are broader
03:57
batteries just get whatever you can
03:58
again store these in one of those small
04:00
sterilite plastic bins
04:01
and keep adding on to it so again at
04:03
number six we have batteries at number
04:05
seven we have medications
04:06
i try to stick with the name brand
04:07
medications instead of some generic
04:09
off-brand but you could get a bottle of
04:10
pain medicine or other kind of
04:12
medications that would be handy to have
04:13
during an emergency situation
04:15
so just pick up a single bottle of
04:16
aspirin or tylenol or cold medication
04:19
store it in a sterilite plastic bin and
04:21
keep adding on to it over a period of
04:22
months for your barter medication
04:24
i think dollar tree has a fairly good
04:25
stash of general office supplies
04:27
however when i go there i always pick up
04:29
an extra sharpie i use them in almost
04:30
all of my kits whether that be a first
04:32
aid kit or a bug out bag or in my
04:34
vehicle
04:35
you name it there’s probably a sharpie
04:36
marker in there but oftentimes they go
04:38
missing so it’s always good to stock up
04:40
on more
04:40
so every time that you go to dollar tree
04:42
just pick up an extra sharpie marker i
04:43
usually go with the black sharpies
04:45
although you could also get a red or
04:46
blue or any other color that’s offered
04:48
at dollar tree at the time
04:49
at number nine we have kitchen wraps
04:51
such as ziploc bags or aluminum foil
04:53
i’ll usually alternate between the two
04:55
i like going with these gallon size
04:56
ziploc bags to use as modules for some
04:58
of my kits they offer water protection
05:00
for the items that you store in there
05:01
you could easily label them and they’re
05:03
transparent so you see the items that
05:04
are stored in that particular module
05:06
getting a box of ziploc bags for a
05:07
dollar is a good price i also pick up
05:09
aluminum foil
05:10
which can be used for a variety of
05:11
different things such as wrapping your
05:12
electronic devices in your bug out bags
05:14
and get home bags for faraday protection
05:16
again that might be a little overkill
05:18
but it’s just what i do so every time
05:19
you go to dollar tree just pick up an
05:21
extra box of ziploc bags or a roll of
05:23
aluminum foil and add it to your stash
05:25
and at number 10 we have plastic drop
05:27
cloths this is kind of my wild card item
05:29
but i found that i’ve been wanting to
05:30
add plastic drop cloths in a lot more of
05:32
my kits lately you could use them for
05:33
shelter purposes
05:34
for building a solar still but mainly
05:36
i’ve been building up my stash of
05:37
plastic drop
05:38
class for containment room purposes a
05:40
few years back long before covet 19
05:42
i did a video of my pandemic containment
05:44
room kit however nowadays i’m adding
05:46
these plastic drop cloths to
05:47
other kits as well such as bug out bags
05:49
or get home bags and more
05:51
so again every time you go to dollar
05:52
tree just pick up an extra plastic drop
05:54
cloth and add it to your collection
05:55
if you’re like me you’ll find a kit to
05:57
add it to and that concludes the top 10
05:59
preps to buy at dollar tree upon every
06:01
visit let’s start going through a few of
06:02
the honorable mentions
06:03
i know a lot of people go to dollar tree
06:04
to pick up chapstick this is definitely
06:06
a good idea if you edc chapstick
06:08
although i don’t really use chapstick so
06:09
i don’t really need to pick it up
06:10
another honorable mention is to pick up
06:12
cleaning supplies at dollar tree whether
06:13
that be bleach or counter spray
06:15
dollar tree offers a wide variety of
06:16
cleaning supplies as i mentioned in the
06:18
beginning of the video you could go to
06:19
dollar tree for a lot of food items
06:21
you could get canned meat for a dollar
06:22
whether that be spam or vienna sausages
06:24
or tuna i usually get these at other
06:26
locations though you could also pick up
06:28
canned soup or vegetables
06:29
and dollar tree frequently features name
06:31
brand items on these another honorable
06:32
mention to pick up at dollar tree
06:34
is candy this is great for morale
06:35
purposes during an emergency situation
06:37
and the last honorable mention that i
06:38
have for dollar tree are one liter water
06:40
bottles i try to use two of these in
06:42
every evacuation kit that i have so
06:44
every bug out bag should have two one
06:45
liter bottles of water
06:46
every get home bag should have two one
06:48
liter bottles of water your building
06:50
evacuation kit should have two
06:51
one liter bottles of water so if you
06:53
wanted to every time you go to dollar
06:54
tree you could just pick up an extra one
06:55
liter bottle of water to add to one of
06:57
your kits but that concludes my list of
06:58
honorable mentions there are a ton of
07:00

07:10
in the comment section if you’re just

limited budget
07:13
dollar tree is definitely a place that
07:14
you should go to to start building up
07:16
your core set of supplies
07:17
as you can you could replace those one
07:19
dollar items with a higher quality item
07:21
because again we’re trying to use these
07:22
for emergency preparedness purposes and
07:24
you want them to work when needed and
