I don\u2019t know about you, but until I did my research for this article I had NO idea I could shop at my favorite dollar store online – right from my own home!<\/p>\n
Yes, I know – common sense would indicate that if other stores have online shops that dollar stores would too, but the dollar store often has such great deals that I just didn\u2019t think they\u2019d make it any easier for me to save money by offering to let me shop their selections online.<\/p>\n
Lucky for me – and for you – dollar store owners know that an online shop is much more cost efficient to run than a brick-and-mortar location. So, they\u2019ve followed the lead of so many other stores by creating lots of websites for you to get your dollar store deals at.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a list of some of the most well known dollar stores that have online shops. And bonus: some of them even offer free shipping! \u00a0Check out the list below and see which online dollar stores might be able to put more money in your wallet.<\/p>\n
Some of these stores are old favorites, others may be new to you. Either way, you can usually find at least some great deals when you shop at a dollar store, and it\u2019s always better when you can do it from the comfort of your own home.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Dollar Tree stores are probably the most popular dollar store chain<\/a><\/u>\u00a0in my neck of the woods. In fact, Dollar Tree has over 14,000 store locations in the contiguous United States, so they probably have one near you as well.<\/p>\n One of my favorite things to buy at the Dollar Tree are party favors. If I go to the local party store I\u2019ll pay $3 or $4 for mylar balloons to decorate for one of my kids\u2019 birthday parties, but I can get them for a buck at the Dollar Tree. Same goes with wrapping paper.<\/p>\n I was so excited when I found wrapping paper and party decorations for my daughter\u2019s 18th birthday celebration for a total of $9 plus tax. Dollar stores don\u2019t necessarily have the best prices on everything, but for party supplies they\u2019re the clear winner.<\/p>\n The online Dollar Tree store offers merchandise in a variety of categories including:<\/p>\n And they carry other items as well. The website can give you more details on that.<\/p>\n Dollar Tree will also ship your online order to your local Dollar Tree store free of charge, or you have the option of having your items shipped directly to your home if you\u2019re okay with paying shipping and handling fees.<\/p>\n If you are going to be in town anyway doing other stuff, it won\u2019t be much of an inconvenience to have your stuff shipped to the local store and just do a quick pick up of the box while you\u2019re doing other errands anyway.<\/p>\n And it\u2019s probably faster to order everything online than it is to shop at the store location.<\/p>\n The Dollar Store also has great $1 deals<\/a><\/u>, but check the prices. yYu\u2019ll also find stuff on this site in other price ranges – from $0.50 up to just about any amount.<\/p>\n The Dollar Store calls itself The Original Online Dollar Store. Along with $1 deals, you can find deals on bulk items as well, similar to what you may find at Costco or Sam\u2019s Club.<\/p>\n Although you will pay for shipping, The Dollar Store promises fast shipping. When you shop at this dollar store online you do have to purchase a minimum of $15 worth of merchandise, and just so you know there\u2019s a 20% restocking fee for returned items.<\/p>\n They also have a customer service center that can answer any questions for you or give you authorization to return items if need be.<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong>\u00a0there is a page on their website that says the minimum order is $1500 (it\u2019s missing the decimal), but I double-checked and the true minimum order dollar amount really is just $15.00. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n This online store carries merchandise in a bunch of different categories such as:<\/p>\n And more. They even have pet items available such as dog, cat and fish food.<\/p>\n Hollar says it offers \u201cgazillions of awesome stuff starting at just $1<\/a><\/u>\u201d. With a tagline like that, how can you not take a look around?<\/p>\n Among the categories of stuff at Hollar:<\/p>\n And other categories as well. Granted, you won\u2019t be able to get all of this stuff for a dollar, but I did find some great deals as I shopped, such as a pack of 8 Thank You notecards for 75 cents.<\/p>\n Hollar has some great shipping deals too. Normally, you as a customer would pay for shipping with your order, which has to be a minimum of $10 when you shop on Hollar. However if you spend $25 or more shipping is free.<\/p>\n Or, you can join their Orange Club for $2 a month and get free shipping on any order, along with access to exclusive club member deals.<\/p>\n Note: <\/strong>with this and most other online dollar stores, merchandise offerings change on a regular basis. This means that if you find something for sale one day you won\u2019t necessarily find it for sale again on a site.<\/p>\n Dollar Fanatic is a true $1 store<\/a><\/u>\u00a0in that it only offers stuff for a dollar. As a bonus, they were having a deal when I checked their website where if you bought 10 of one item you\u2019d get the 11th for free.<\/p>\n I couldn\u2019t find a specific \u201ccategories\u201d section when I looked on this site; just loads and loads of $1 stuff. However they do have a search bar on the site if you\u2019re looking for something specific.<\/p>\n Among the stuff they had for sale on this site when I checked? Baby camo pants, school supplies, girls\u2019 tights, office supplies, accessories such as hair styling items, beauty products, household items such as hardware and cleaning supplies, and more.<\/p>\n Dollar Fanatic has a minimum order requirement of $5, and they charge a flat fee shipping rate of $4.95 for economy and $9.95 expedited.<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong>\u00a0they will do an economy ship for free if you order at least $50 worth of stuff. No returns or refunds with these guys, however.<\/p>\n Dollar 1 sells products for $1 and up<\/a><\/u>\u00a0in several different categories. You\u2019ll find items in categories like:<\/p>\n And more. Although many items on this site sell for up to $10, you can go directly to the $1 bargains category via the left sidebar on the website. In the $1 bargains category I found a nice variety of items such as health and beauty stuff, school supplies, party favors and even home products such as shower hooks.<\/p>\n Their website says they offer fast, free shipping with orders of $25 or more.<\/p>\n Five Below sells stuff in several different categories, and everything costs between $1 and $5<\/a><\/u>. Some of the categories they offer merchandise in includes:<\/p>\n And more. For instance, when I was checking online at this site, I found an NBA basketball for sale for $5. You can buy stuff at this site individually or in bulk, although I didn\u2019t see any cost savings for buying in bulk on most of the items I looked at.<\/p>\n I did like this store for the simple fact that it seems as if most of the items they were selling were of good quality. Some dollar stores seem to only sell junk. Five Below does charge for shipping; rates are dependent on how much you spend.<\/p>\n Okay, Miss A is a beauty supply site<\/a><\/u>\u00a0that says everything is just $1. However, they did have several items on the site that were clearly more than a dollar, but they had many $1 items as well.<\/p>\n The quality of most of the stuff here looks pretty good, and their products are certified animal cruelty free by the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).<\/p>\n You\u2019ve find a wide variety of items here such as makeup, makeup brushes, hairpins and other hair accessories, nose rings, key chains, jewelry and more. Even their $1 section had a lot to offer as far as great looking stuff in all categories of beauty products.<\/p>\n Bonus, they offer free shipping on orders over $35.<\/p>\n Dollar General is a well known dollar store that has over 14,000 store locations<\/a><\/u>\u00a0in 44 states across the U.S.<\/p>\n This online store sells items in categories such as cleaning supplies, health, beauty and personal care, household items, pet items, office and school, toys, party supplies and more.<\/p>\n Some stuff is $1 here, but other stuff costs more. For instance you could get three bars of Ivory soap for $1.65.<\/p>\n One cool thing about this site is that it regularly features both in-store as well as online specials. One of the specials they had when I was checking out the site was a coupon for $5 off any purchase of $25 or more for online shoppers.<\/p>\n That\u2019s an amazing deal considering you\u2019re already paying only a dollar (or a few dollars) for the stuff you buy there.<\/p>\n As of this writing, Dollar General was offering free shipping on orders of $40 or more when you entered their designated promo code at checkout.<\/p>\n I had to mention this store not because everything is a dollar, but because they have great deals on clothing<\/a><\/u>. Nearly every clothing or accessory item they sell is priced between $5.99 and $6.99.<\/p>\n On top of that, when I was perusing the site they were offering an additional 25% off selected styles, which means you could purchase some stuff for as low as $4.50.<\/p>\n This site could be worth checking out if you want cute clothing for cheap. Shipping starts at just $2.99.<\/p>\n Axcesso Spot (the website address reads 99 cent dollar store) focuses on selling stuff in three basic categories at great prices<\/a><\/u>:<\/p>\n Luckily, the Specials<\/em>\u00a0category encompasses a large variety of items for sale at super low prices. Although I wouldn\u2019t necessarily refer to this as a dollar store or 99 cent store like the web address reads, they do have some pretty great deals on stuff.<\/p>\n They also have some stuff that seems like it costs more than it would at a regular dollar store. Some of the items they sell include baby and home safety stuff, such as outlet plug protectors, bath tub anti-slip mats that come with built in heat alerts that change color when the water gets above a certain temperature, and surge protector power strips.<\/p>\n The website doesn\u2019t share anything about shipping fees, however they do accept returns for up to 14 days after you received your order.<\/p>\n I thought I should mention these guys since \u201cdollar\u201d is in their name. \ud83d\ude42 This is another specialized store being that they only offer shaving supplies such as razors<\/a><\/u>, replacement blade cartridges, shaving creams and lotions, etc. in a way that is proposed to be easy, convenient and cost efficient.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re a regular shaver, this could be a great way to make sure you never run out of shaving supplies. FYI, they also offer other products like hair gel and pomade, but you\u2019ll definitely pay more than a dollar for their stuff.<\/p>\n If you are looking for dollar stores that parallel the likes of Costco and Sam\u2019s Club, here\u2019s the top ones we found and researched for buying in bulk on a budget.<\/p>\n H & J Closeouts has thousands of items for sale at rock bottom prices<\/a><\/u>, according to their website. But they also have a specific dollar store category just for $1 stuff.<\/p>\n The cool thing about their dollar store section is that there are LOTS of items featured there for much, much less than a dollar. \u00a0For instance, pens for $.15 or party favors for $.05.<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong>\u00a0you have to buy items by the case here, so it\u2019s probably a better shopping choice for people who run or manage businesses, or if you\u2019re planning a big party like a wedding or large birthday party.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s say you\u2019re putting on a conference for your employer and need to order small gifts for all attendees – this could be a great place to shop for them. Or if you run an Etsy store out of your home and need to buy supplies for customization – you may be able to buy them in bulk here.<\/p>\n So, not for your typical dollar store shopper, but it wouldn\u2019t hurt to take a look around; you might find something you need or want to buy in bulk. Also, they do offer free shipping to the continental U.S.<\/p>\n Dollar Item is a wholesaler that sells a large variety of items for pennies on the dollar<\/a><\/u>. Prices range from a few cents up to a few dollars, but you do have to buy by the case. A case can mean a few items, such as a dozen, or hundreds of items – there\u2019s usually several options available for each product.<\/p>\n The types of products they offer is pretty expansive. Here\u2019s a short list:<\/p>\n And more. Again, these bulk stores where you can buy stuff for a dollar or less (and sometimes more than a dollar) are best for buying things you use really often, such as foil pans, or if you\u2019re hosting a conference or other large party or event where you need several of certain items.<\/p>\n Another example of an item that might be best purchased at these bulk sites would be party favors or table favors for weddings.<\/p>\n\n
