10 Exciting New Dollar Tree Kitchen Finds In August That Are Under $5
The calendar (and the scorching-hot weather) tells us it's still summer — but after checking out the latest batch of fall-themed kitchen goodies at Dollar Tree, you might be fooled into thinking it's autumn. If you're eagerly waiting for the leaves to change colors and outdoor temperatures to drop, you'll be especially excited for these new arrivals. There's something for everyone here, whether you're a football fan, a Halloween lover, or a Thanksgiving diehard.
From pumpkin-shaped soap dispensers to skeleton cutlery, we've rounded up 10 of the retailer's most exciting finds and put them into the following list. Keep in mind: Certain items might not be in stock at your local Dollar Tree, so you might want to call ahead before getting your heart set on a specific piece. Many of these finds are also available on the retailer's website, but you can only buy them online if you purchase a minimum quantity (typically, at least 16 of the same item). We've shared a few of our favorite affordable Dollar Tree kitchen finds before, but here are some that you wouldn't have found until this month.
Food containers
These adorable Harvest-Themed Containers With Lids are perfect for packing kids' snacks or bringing to a potluck. They're sold in sets of two (with each pair costing $1.50) and come in multiple sizes and styles. One is acorn-shaped and includes illustrations of squirrels and foxes, and there's also a pumpkin-themed pair of containers that celebrate the arrival of fall. Even better? They're microwave- and dishwasher-safe, so they're perfect for busy families or professionals who need a quick lunch to bring to the office.
Soap dispensers
Want to add some fall fun to your kitchen sink? These Harvest Theme Hand Soap Dispensers are the perfect touch. You can choose from five styles: a scarecrow, a pumpkin spice latte, an apple, an acorn, and a pumpkin. Each costs $1.50. Heads up: If you order online, you'll need to buy a box of 16 — but there might not be an equal number of each dispenser style. One reviewer says, "I purchased the scarecrow and latte soaps. My only complaint is that there is only one of each of those per box."
Linen and room spray
There's nothing that quite signals the start of fall like the smell of spiced apples — and Dollar Tree's Apple Cinnamon Scent Linen and Room Spray can help you bring that into your kitchen. With notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, it would be perfect for freshening up your kitchen after you've cooked a particularly fragrant meal. While you could easily make a cozy holiday room spray yourself, this Dollar Tree spray only costs $1.50 for an 8-ounce bottle, giving it some incredible value.
Skeleton cutlery
Planning a Halloween dinner party? With Dollar Tree's Seasonal Collection Skeleton Cutlery Set, you can serve your guests in frighteningly-festive style. The pack costs $1.50 and comes with three skeleton hand forks, three skull-shaped spoons, and three bony butter knives. And while they might look spooky, these utensils are food-safe. In other words, you can use them for your favorite appetizers, entrees, and desserts without worrying about harmful chemicals getting into your meal.
Pumpkin candle holders
Speaking of dinner parties, what's better than a candlelit meal shared with friends? To create that cozy ambiance at your table while fitting with the autumn theme, you can pick up a couple of these Harvest Pumpkin Candle Holders. They're $1.50 per item and come in three colors: white, green, and orange. You can also use them on your kitchen counters to keep the fall vibes going even when you aren't hosting friends and family.
Ghost candle holders
If you prefer your candles with a slightly spookier vibe, check out Dollar Tree's Ghost-Themed Candle Holders With Handles. These adorable glass ghouls come in clear or purple glass and cost $1.50 each. (You can also complement them with Dollar Tree's Halloween Pumpkin Glass Candle Holders.) According to the product description, you can customize the ghost candle holders even further by painting them or applying glitter. Be careful when transporting them, though. The retailer advises: "Handle the candle holder with care as it is prone to breaking."
Skull bottles
Why sip your beverages out of a regular old glass when you could drink them from a Plastic Halloween Skull Bottle instead? These creepy cups are food-safe and are made from 100% polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a common material used by beverage companies. The skulls are priced at $1.50 each, and color options include orange, purple, brown, and clear. While the bottles are designed for drinking, you could also use them as decor or incorporate them into a DIY Halloween project.
Festive cups
If you've got kids at home, they're sure to love Dollar Tree's Harvest Icon Cups With Straws. And as a parent, you'll like them, too. They're only $1.50 per cup, and since they come with straws, you can avoid spills and messes. There are four festive designs to pick from: fox, turkey, acorn, and pumpkin pie. They pair well with the food containers and compartment trays, so with just a few items and less than $5, you can throw the perfect fall-themed party.
Picks
These Seasonal Collection Harvest Picks are ideal for bakers who want to add a little fall flair to their goodies — or craft lovers who want to add to the ways they can decorate their kitchen for autumn. You could even use them to spice up a floral arrangement or wreath. The picks are sold in packs of 24 and cost $1.50, with four seasonal styles available: leaves, pumpkins, footballs, and acorns. They're also reusable, so when fall is over, you can store them and bring them out again next year.
Straw toppers
With Dollar Tree's Seasonal Collection Harvest-Themed Straw Toppers, staying hydrated doesn't have to be boring. You can choose from two different 5-packs, each priced at $1.50. One of them includes an acorn, pumpkins, a football, pumpkin pie, and a leaf display that says "fall sweet fall." The other pack comes with a porcupine, a pumpkin spice latte, a leaf, a pumpkin, and a "hello fall" design. Consider using them when you have friends or family over for a Thanksgiving feast as a playful addition to their drinks.
