Three Dollar Tree finds for $1.25 including the section 'you do not want to sleep on' with the best variety

A TIKTOK influencer has compiled a list of items she thinks shoppers - especially parents - should not overlook when at Dollar Tree.

Caitlin Tetrault runs the TikTok page @momingthisshiz for her 187,000 followers.

On her channel, she goes over some of her favorite sales and deals at major discount retailers like Walmart and Five Below.

Most of her videos focus on the best items moms can pick up while out shopping.

In a few recent posts, she highlighted three childhood items at Dollar Tree that she thinks are perfect buys at just $1.25 apiece.

Caitlin is a big fan of an assortment of Tonka trucks at her local Dollar Tree.

"Right next to the Hot Wheels cars I found these new wooden Tonka Trucks and let me tell you they are absolutely adorable," she said.

Caitlin showed viewers a variety of small Tonka trucks, including a fire engine and an ambulance.

The trucks also come with decorative stickers.

"I'm thinking this is like the ultimate goodie-bag toy," she said.

Caitlin does not want her followers to look past Dollar Tree's book section.

"Do not sleep on the book section in the Dollar Tree," she said.

Caitlin highlighted instructional children's books including Learning to Forgive, Practicing Patience, and Paying Attention.

"I'm loving these books about regulating emotion and building self-esteem, they have a ton of variety to choose from," Caitlin said.

Caitlin devoted a whole video to this children's microscope which allows kids to examine bugs up close.

"You need to run to grab one of these Wild Kratts microscopes," she said.

"It comes with little containers so your kids can catch bugs and then view them."

The microscope is based on the Wild Kratts TV show featured on PBS.

It comes with six different trays and a large yellow magnifying glass.

As with all the items featured, this microscope costs just $1.25.

While almost every item at Dollar Tree is just $1.25, saving at other stores can be trickier.

One way to save is to start using one of the many couponing apps available.

These include Ibotta, which gives customers cash-back rewards for items it is currently promoting.

Many of the most successful couponers will also combine Ibotta rewards with others from other apps like Shopkick and Coupons.com to turbocharge savings.

One Walmart deal seeker was able to find a dupe of a $200 essential for $187 less.

Walmart also announced a brand-new clothing line from a celebrity designer.
