Home Renovation Supplies That Are Worth Buying From Dollar Tree

Do you have some redecorating or remodeling plans on the horizon? Home renovation costs aren't cheap, and even if you're only doing minor weekend projects, the costs can quickly add up. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2023 American Housing Survey (AHS) shows the average cost of a do-it-yourself home improvement project is $2,695, an increase of around $190 from 2021. Finding ways to stretch every dollar is key, whether it's using carpet remnants to decorate a small footprint room or buying the discount paint from Home Depot. Since you have to buy your own supplies to get the job done, don't sleep on one of the ultimate bargain destinations: Dollar Tree. This is because it offers supplies for painting, refinishing, and general home improvement at budget-friendly prices.

TikTik often spotlights underrated Dollar Tree finds, frequently featuring them in organization and cleaning videos. Yet the Home Renovation aisle and online category often go unnoticed. Regardless of the task you'll tackle in your home renovation project, you can probably find something useful at Dollar Tree. Here's our roundup of some must-have items and a few to avoid at your local Dollar Tree.

A new coat of paint is an easy and cost-effective way to add a new look to your room, but you can never be too careful when painting. Reusing an old sheet as a drop cloth can help you avoid a mess when painting. However, you might run out of sheets before you run out of wall! Avoid this and pick up the Tool Bench Painter's Plastic Drop Cloths (9x12 ft). While you're at it, grab the Tool Bench Plastic Paint Trays for your home reno arsenal. If you're repairing the caulk in your bathroom or window trim, Tool Bench All Purpose White Caulk, 4.5 fl.oz, is a great deal compared to the ones at Home Depot. They also sell the Tool Bench Hardware Magnetic Screwdrivers, with the magnetized tips perfect for hanging up shelves or changing outlet covers.

One item you might want to be cautious with is glue. DT sells 2-count packages of The Original Super Glue and The Original Super Glue Wood Glue, which are well-received by most reviewers. The same can't be said about their Crafter's Square Mini Hot Glue Sticks, 20-ct. Packs. Several reviewers complain the glue sticks seem more wax than glue, and they don't fit in their glue gun well. Also in the adhesives to avoid category is the Tool Bench Hardware Painter's Tape, which consumers complain either doesn't stick or removes paint when you peel it off.
