All October posts are part of the Countdown to Halloween!
If you don’t shop at dollar stores for Halloween, you are doing Halloween all wrong. Seriously. Some of my favorite decor, like the Lucky Raven Cafe sign in my kitchen, came from dollar stores. They’re a great spot to search for treasures as well as stock up on things you don’t mind tossing after a Halloween party, like plastic tablecloths or plastic ware.
I always look forward to stopping by my local Dollar Tree stores to hunt for Halloween, and this year was no exception. Hurricane Harvey threw off the timing a little bit, and by the time I found a store fully-stocked, they were already transitioning over to (SOB!) Christmas.
But I’ve pieced together the photos I snapped over the period of a couple weeks to give you an idea of what you can find at Dollar Tree. Sometimes it takes a little hunting, but you can find some serious gems at this store!

Halloween at Dollar Tree! It’s one of my favorite places to grab little things for my party.


I could see using these for a little floral arrangement in your personal or party decor.


Dollar stores are a cheap place to get vase fillers, like these glitter (eek, I know guys…) balls. I actually bought $1 bags of candy corn here to use for vase filler in my living room.

Cupcake papers! Great for cupcakes AND crafting. (You guys amaze me with the clever things you make with these.)

As a girl on the hunt for the perfect Halloween notebook for her blog plans, this amused me to no end. (But they were too tiny for actual blogging notebooks!)

I loved the vintage-y feel of these cups. They may or may not make an appearance at Halloweenie Roast 2017 somehow…




I am always a sucker for Halloween scarves in Dollar Tree’s collection. And if the Houston weather will calm down and get out of the 90s, I’d love to wear one or two this October! (I bought the one on the right.)

Treat bags for $1! Doesn’t get better than that. They were a decent size too.

Halloween hack: dollar stores are a great place to score cute and spooky Halloween cards without spending a fortune. (And a lot of them are the same brands you find in other discount stores!)
Signs:

While I didn’t grab any this year, I always enjoy looking at Dollar Tree’s signs…just in case there’s something I can’t live without.

This eyeball jar nearly came home with me. So cute and different!


Garland:
So just in case you haven’t heard…this holiday season (by which I mean December), I’m going to be doing my first-ever spooky Christmas! I’m really excited about it and will be repurposing some of my Halloween decor. These metallic garlands have always felt like Christmas to me:

You’ll definitely be seeing some of these make a reappearance later this year for spooky Christmas!

Wouldn’t this look great on a green wreath?





So many possibilities! I don’t remember the last time I felt this excited about Christmas…in October.

Wow your dollar tree is much nicer than the ones by me. The shelves were stocked very sloppily here this year. :(
Also we didn’t get the felt vampire. I’ve gotten the felt creatures the last two years, I haven’t seen the vampire anywhere!
Either way I’ve been collecting dollar store decor for years, they continue to surprise me! When I first got into decorating about 15 years ago, the dollar tree only really had some ceramic figurines and not too much else, they’ve grown so very much. I love that I can drop $20-30 and get a lot of things to cover a good amount of space and they look decent too. In fact sometimes I see very similar items at other stores that are made about the same but cost more. (For example, bone creatures, the rats or birds. The bone birds were $7+ plus elsewhere for about the same quality)
I usually get a lot from the dollar tree, then add one or two (or four haha) nicer items from other places. But I would say %70 of my collection is things Ive gotten over the years from DT. I’m a sucker for the chip board signs.

I couldn’t agree with you more on shopping for similar items at dollar stores! It’s one of my favorite Halloween hacks.

I LOVE shopping at Dollar Tree, especially for Halloween. But I do go all year, my granddaughters call it “the book store” cause I bring them and them get a book each time. LOL

What a fun tradition to have with them!

I know I must have read this post before, but I guess I didn’t leave a comment! @-@ I do love the little finds you can make at dollar stores during Halloween, perfect for the little tiny things that other places tend to over-charge for. Usually, I’m not a big fan of shopping there for decor, but I do love the hair pieces and earrings they usually end up getting.
