Bottom line

Budgeting can often involve prioritizing which purchases need to be top-tier quality and which can be relegated to less expensive options. Dollar Tree offers many products that are perfectly serviceable but never come with that hefty price tag, making it the perfect place to stock up on school supplies that will be gone through fairly quickly during the school year.

Finding ways to lower spending in non-priority areas like notebooks, pens, and school snacks can help keep money in your wallet for the big-ticket items where lower-quality goods would negatively impact your life.

Saving money on weekly purchases like groceries can also help stack up the savings so you won't have to worry about things like back-to-school bills.
