Dollar Tree announced that they will start taking coupons effective August 26, 2012. You can look at the official coupon policy at DollarTree.com. Highlights are below:
- Only original and intact manufacturers’ coupons will be accepted. Retailer-specific coupons will not be accepted.
- Coupons are void if copied, scanned, or if they have been altered in any way.
- Only two (2) print-at-home Internet coupons may be redeemed per transaction.
- We are unable to accept coupons for “Free” items with no purchase requirements or where the amount for the product is blank.
- Coupons can only be used in stores and must be presented at time of purchase. Coupons cannot be redeemed for cash at a later time.
- Coupons will not be accepted without the purchase of the item specified and are subject to the terms listed (e.g. expiration date, size, limitations, quantity, etc.).
- Coupons cannot be redeemed for more than the purchase price of the item.
- Only one (1) manufacturer’s coupon will be accepted per item.
- Management has the right to refuse any coupon or otherwise limit quantities.
Some have wondered if this will be of any help as they haven’t remembered seeing many brand name items in their stores. Here are a couple of the brand name items one reader found around her store that currently have coupons that match up so some items you can be keeping an eye out for.
Hefty Slider Bags
Use $1/2 RP 07/29/12
Or $0.55/1 Hefty Slider Bags
= as low as $0.45 each!
Colgate Extra Clean Toothbrush
Use $0.40/1 or $1/2 SS 08/12/12
= as low as $0.50
Thanks Andrea!













My Name is Josie and I live in sunny Southern California and I am a stay at home mom to three beautiful boys. We all know that living in California is a task of it's own and saving in California IS possible! I started this blog mainly to share all the awesome deals out there and show others how to save in any area of life. Even though you may make the commitment to be frugal and pinch your pennies doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice!
Oh Josie, you make me so happy!
O.M.G. I am sooo happy! I always wondered if dollar stores would ever take coupons.
Yay! Thats amazing! Thanx josie for letting us know
In the dollar tree near me they have plenty of brand names like dial, colgate, glad etc… Awesome news of the day!
Cool! I have one by my house.
I am glad about this change. I have a question: ‘Retailer-specific coupons will not be accepted’, does that mean that a manufacturer coupon that states:’Redeemable at Walmart’ for example will not be accepted? Or are they talking about store coupons? Thanks!
Awesome but the smaller sizes sometimes is not worth it? maybe free items it is worth it!
I would have to agree. In the picture you only get 6 bags in the box. I can get the regular size boxes for the same price after doubles or an awesome sale. But if it was free I would pick it up.
Yes free will work and sometimes the price is too High for the product as well.
In Torrance they started taking them already.. saw the sign today
All Dollar Trees I’ve been in have had tons of name brands, so I’m SUPER excited for this!
Omg I’m excited! Josie is this everywhere? All dollar trees?
omg omg omg! This is awesome news! Lots of freebies headed our way! Hopefully the 99 cent store does the same!
This is a store that knows its opportunity after ralphs and vons.
