Though prices can vary wildly at grocery stores, dollar stores like Dollar Tree keep their prices reliably low — and that’s good news for your grocery list. Here are the newly introduced grocery items you should get at Dollar Tree to avoid paying inflation prices.
Whole Wheat Bread
Price: $1.25 for 16 ounces
As bread goes up in price at the grocery store, you can depend on it being $1.25 for a 16-ounce loaf at Dollar Tree. Even the Kroger brand for 16 ounces of whole wheat bread costs $1.99.
Sunny D Orange-Flavored Citrus Punch
Price: $1.25 for 56 ounces
Orange juice was one of the main items consumers saw go up in price over the past year. Get your fix at Dollar Tree for only $1.25 for nearly half a gallon. A gallon of Sunny D costs $3.50 at Ralphs, so even if you buy two at Dollar Tree, you’re getting a deal.
Chunk Pineapple
Price: $1.25 for 20 ounces
At Ralphs, a can of Kroger brand pineapple chunks will cost $1.79. Get a can of Libby’s Chunk Pineapple at Dollar Tree for $0.54 less.

Plastic Utensils
Price: $1.25 for 42
If you’re planning to have a get-together, you’re already spending a lot of money on food and drinks. Save some cash on the disposable cutlery. Ralphs sells a pack of 48 for almost twice the price. Get this package with seasonal maroon plasticware for a steal.
Salt
Price: $0.69 for 26 ounces
Salt has endless uses in the kitchen. Stay stocked with this bargain from Dollar Tree. The same amount at Ralphs will cost $1.25.
Cherry Pie Filling
Price: $1.25 for 15 ounces
A can of Mother’s Maid Cherry Pie Filling only costs you $1.25, and though you get 21 ounces in a can from Ralphs, it’ll cost you three times the price, so it’s not really worth the extra filling.
Campbell’s Kitchen Classics Beef Barley Soup
Price: $1.25 for 14.5 ounces
If you’re looking to stay in and have some soup, definitely stock up at Dollar Tree. Ralphs sells 11 ounces of Campbell’s Condensed Beef with Vegetables & Barley Soup for $1.89.
Pickle Spears
Price: $1.25 for 17 ounces
Reviewers love this Dollar Tree deal. One says, “I bought this to add to my lunch and they taste good! I would recommend this for the price. You can’t beat it.” It’s true, because at Ralphs, 24 ounces of pickle spears goes for $3.29 at the cheapest.
