I am my dad's live in Caregiver and he has had some accidents getting to the bathroom on time. I use the shaving cream from Dollar tree to help get the stool and odor out of the carpet and it works! It also works in the bathroom around the toilet to get the urine smell out! Just thought I would share these little tips for anyone else!🥰

Look into insurance coverage for things like washable incontinence pads, depends, or check sheets too. Insurance should have a book of what all they provide, otherwise you could call your insurance sales person and find out, even if they are poor they’re probably still our benefits available to you if you talk to a social worker. 💕 God bless you I spend many hours taking care of my mom(and four children as a betweener millennial), it’s pretty exhausting, I could use some prayers, I’ll be praying for you too.

@PendalMarks do you also support the stores that have staff checking your receipts before they let you exit? what if they also wanted you to empty your pockets and open your purse? Do you think that this is an effective deterrent to shoplifting? I'm curious. by accusing the DT Corp of understaffing which in turn results in messy stores, you are absolving DT customers of any responsibility they have to behave as humans with manners and not wild monkeys, and to be respectful of DT staff and other customers. That absolution of responsibility - or the lack of consequences for bad behavior only results in worse and more instances of bad behavior. It won't be until our society once again holds ourselves accountable for our own actions as well as encouraging our families, friends and neighbors to be accountable for their actions, as well, that we can go out with expectations of excellent service, clean and well stocked retail outlets, safe streets, etc. That won't happen if people don't change but DT does hire one or even two sadly underpaid, unenthusiastic employees who make it obvious to everyone that they would rather be anywhere else than working at DT. But ofc, that's just mho.

NOTHING gets rid of water spots faster. That rainbow effect on your pots and pans disappear with a squirt of vinegar. It's magical.

I love using the little rinestones that are normally for nails on craft projects instead. I can sometimes even find Chrome powder in those areas as well and while there isn't a lot in them, the normal prices for chrome powder on line is crazy. If you do miniture painting or just want to gild a frame with just a little bit of silver chrome, its actually the perfect amount. Also adding Coconut milk and a little spice to Ramen plus some frozen veggies and you have a really awesome fast and simple meal on a budget for when your rushing around. I just want to say, please be kind to those who work in these stores even if the place might be a mess. Sometimes its because the store is not getting enough hours or they don't have enough workers. It isn't always because the workers aren't doing their job, sometimes its cause so much is put on their shoulders that they can't finish everything they are supposed to do.

I worked in a dollar store (now a Dollar Tree) in the late '90s, and it was never as chaotic as they feel now. The difference is we had about five workers per shift on the weekends. My local DTs - some of which are bigger and get the new departments first - rarely have more than three employees working. I really feel for them! I try to make their lives a bit easier when I can...

Watching this at 8 in the morning while working from home and I have to tell you, your excitement is contagious. My mood has been elevated just by watching. Thanks for all the tips!! My favorite suggestion to share would be to grab a dollar tree peg board and hooks for your kitchen and use to hang up all of your measuring cups and spoons for easy access. I cleared out a small drawer by doing this, giving me more room in an already small kitchen. I also put a peg board by the door for keys. A second tip for space saving is to take a dollar tree napkin holder and some strong-ish magnets. Put the magnets on the fridge, put the napkin holder on the magnets, and instant mail holder.

I zip tie the holder anywhere on the shelf I need it to create "book end style" separations on the shelf to keep things in order. Piles of rags no longer end up all over, chemicals have their own row and nothing gets knocked over. The holders can also be attched to the underside facing downward.

Here is a couple more tips: • Use the reacher grabber bar in your garden. I recently used mine to bring stems of my raspberry bush closer and to hold onto the stems as I picked the berries • get some picnic table cloth weights and clip them onto the bottom of your large sheets and towels when you hang them on a clothes line, in order to prevent them from wrapping around the clothes line. This is not a foolproof idea, especially on seriously windy days. But you can clip on multiple weights to each item depending on how windy it is

I know the assistant manager at our dollar tree and we are blessed to have a pilot store. It’s 3 blocks away from my house and I never leave without spending like $50-100 each time 😂 dangerous haha. Ours is pretty well organized and they have a strict rule that children under age 12 cannot be left unsupervised. If there are kids misbehaving and away from their parents they are not afraid to speak up and say something even if it costs them a sale. Ours also has some really cool character tees, plain T’s for projects and a great electronic section

We have a pilot store too, it's amazing!! Our regional mgr gives me the heads up on truck deliveries and what'll be on them! I use the "dirty" DTs for stuff that's sold old, because they tend to stock slower and have less traffic😉 Con of having a great store is stuff is sold old before creators see and come up with amazing ideas for them😢❤🙏🏾

You can even tape a piece of scotch tape over the dry erase writing to protect it from rubbing off if you stack them. Just fold over one end to make a tab for easier lifting of the label when removing to wash. Good as new and my writing didn’t rub off or get scratches through it causing it to be unable to read/identify.

Kathryn, we live in the same town and I have looked everywhere for the bird wallpaper. You must either go further afield or there's a DT I haven't found yet! lol When I do find the wallpaper it's going in my powder room and my closet. It's beautiful! I also need to look for the grabbers. I have one - it's soooo handy - but I could use several so I don't have to run from room to room looking for it. And I'm so glad the school supplies are showing up. They have a storage box, about 8x11 with an attached locking lid. I make cards and use them to keep all my supplies for each card design together. Now as soon as I have a design in mind I put stamps, dies, and paper in a box and label it. No more searching for supplies when I'm ready to work.

Everytime I see Kathryn using "the grabber" in these videos, it makes me think of my short, chubby farmer Dad. We used to tease him because he had them everywhere, behind the seat of his ElCamino, in the bed of his farm work pickup, hanging in his equipment service shop, in the broom closet in his kitchen and more! Back then I was young enough to hop on the counter to get those high dishes or laundry stuff....he loved them! He even took them into the grocery store when shopping, in later years he had one velcro strapped to his seat/walker, total strangers at the auctions, even had him grab things for them too. Now I get it jumping on the counters isn't so easy anymore, he would have loved the cheap dt price too, I can't imagine more in his universe... I miss you Dad!

Lol, you spoke about the Efferdent, and I thought of wow that was my idea, and then I saw it was my message. I guess it was funny for me to hear from a viewer, and it was me. On another note my husband's grandmother was real short and stuff was always falling behind her washer and ahe could never get it and got tired of having someone move it out all the time. She had a shelf installed over the washer and dryer all to wall, out enough in the front and as low as it would go and still be able to operate the knobs. It helped tremendously. Hope you try this because it gives you a useable shelf as well.
