I shop at Dollar Tree for a lot of things, but there are certain items I find myself buying over and over again and I’m not talking about things I bought once because they were $1.25 and looked interesting. These are my Dollar Tree must haves things I actually use at home, keep in my purse, or replace when I run out. Some are beauty-related, some are practical, and one has become a little bit of an obsession every time I walk through the beauty aisle.
If you’ve been reading Seriously Natural for a while, you already know I love finding affordable products that actually work. I’ve shared some of my favorite Dollar Tree beauty dupes before, but this time I wanted to show you the everyday things that keep making their way into my cart. Here are five Dollar Tree must-haves I buy again and again—plus one honorable mention that I couldn’t leave off the list.
1. Disposable Face Towels

I started using disposable face towels because I wanted something clean to dry my face with after washing it instead of reaching for the same bathroom towel over and over again. Now I keep buying them.
Dollar Tree carries disposable face towels in the beauty/skincare section, and for me, they’re one of those simple little things that make my skincare routine easier. I use one after cleansing my face and then toss it when I’m done. No wondering how long that washcloth has been hanging there or whether somebody else in the house grabbed it and considering how much attention I’ve been paying to my skincare lately—especially hyperpigmentation and keeping my routine consistent—this is one inexpensive habit I’ve decided to keep.
They are notoriously hard to find and quite often out of stock so my backup is Unifree Facial Tissues.
2. Hand Sanitizer
I don’t just have a bottle of hand sanitizer. I have hand sanitizer everywhere! In my purse. In the house. Probably in a bag I’ve forgotten about somewhere, and yes even in my car. Dollar Tree is one of my favorite places to stock up because I can grab different sizes and scents without spending much money on a very necessary item int today’s world.
This isn’t some glamorous beauty find. It’s simply one of those practical things I use constantly, which is exactly why it belongs on this list. I’m using hand sanitizer after leaving public places like the grocery store and any appointment.
The bottomline…this world is dirty and germs are everywhere. I’m just ensuring I’m taking my health seriously and one of the main reasons it is has made the list of my Dollar Tree must haves.
Yes, these are an affordable dupe to Scent Land Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer or Touchland Juicy Trio Hydrating Hand Sanitizer Spray.
3. Hand Sanitizer Holders
…and naturally, if I’m buying all that sanitizer, I need somewhere to put it. I LOVE the little sanitizer holders at Dollar Tree! They’re inexpensive, they come in different colors and styles, and they make it easy to clip sanitizer onto a purse or bag instead of digging around trying to find it.
Right now, I have a black holder attached to my black purse, and it looks like it belongs there. It’s cute, but it’s also practical—which is pretty much my favorite combination.
This is also one of those Dollar Tree items that’s easy to overlook until you actually start using one. Then suddenly you want one for every bag and fore every reason. Yes, it’s an extra purchase but not a big one so don’t feel bad for spending that every $1.25 on one.
4. Tweezers
Why can I never have enough tweezers? Seriously.
I buy them. I use them. Somebody borrows them. I put them somewhere. Then somehow…they’re gone. So I’ve stopped spending much money on them. Dollar Tree tweezers do what I need them to do, and at this price, I can keep a couple around the house without being particularly upset when one inevitably disappears.
I especially use tweezers for those random chin hairs that seem to have become determined to test me as I’ve gotten older.
The light in the car is the best light for finding those chin hairs, so I’ve got tweezers in each car so I’m never fighting long to pull one of those pesky black (or gray) hairs out while I check myself in the mirror before getting out of the car. If you know, you know.
5. bPure Peptide Lip Mask
Now we’re getting into one of my favorite Dollar Tree beauty finds. The bPure Peptide Lip Mask is something I’ve actually purchased and used—not just something I spotted on TikTok and decided to throw into a roundup. Yes, the packaging and concept immediately make you think of some of the much more expensive overnight lip masks on the market and honestly, it works great.
I’ve used higher-priced lip masks, including Laneige, and I wouldn’t tell you they’re exactly the same product. But for the Dollar Tree price, the bPure mask has impressed me enough that I continue to buy it.
It leaves my lips feeling soft and moisturized, and that’s ultimately what I need it to do along with giving a slight pink hue that is perfect for adding color to my lips. For $1.25, this one has earned its place on my repurchase list and me and my sister love it!
If out, you can get the LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm in a few scents and tints.
Honorable Mention: Power Stick Brazilian Mist
Okay, technically I said five, but I couldn’t leave this one out. I’ve been seeing more and more of the Power Stick Brazilian Mist collection at Dollar Tree, and what caught my attention is that the scent isn’t limited to just one product. I’ve found the Brazilian Mist scent across different body-care products, including face wipes, shower and shave gels and deodorant, and every time I go back, I seem to notice something else.
That’s actually part of the fun of shopping Dollar Tree. You never quite know what’s going to be on the shelf from one visit to the next. I’m calling this an honorable mention because I’m still exploring the different products in the collection, but the scent and the variety definitely caught my attention.
Right now I’m loving and using the face wipes, shower gel and hand soap. The scent remind me of Sol de Janerio Bum Bum scent.
Why These Dollar Tree Finds Keep Making It Into My Cart
Here’s what I’ve realized about my favorite Dollar Tree purchases:
- They aren’t necessarily the most exciting things in the store.
- They’re the things I actually use.
- I’m not interested in buying something just because it’s cheap. A $1.25 product isn’t a bargain if it sits in a drawer untouched.
- These are products that have worked their way into my everyday life—from the disposable towels I use during my skincare routine to the sanitizer clipped onto my purse and then there’s that peptide lip mask.
- Because apparently I can’t walk through the Dollar Tree beauty aisle without looking for a dupe.
If you shop at Dollar Tree, what’s the one thing you buy every single time you go? I’m always curious about the things other people have discovered that I might be walking right past.
