I've shopped at Dollar Tree for 20 years. Here are 12 products I swear by getting at the budget chain.

Dollar Tree has raised some of its prices over the years, but there are still several products I think are worth getting there.

• I've been shopping at Dollar Tree for about 20 years and buy some essentials for my family there.
• I exclusively purchase period products, gift wrap, and greeting cards at the chain.
• Other staple Dollar Tree buys include cleaning supplies, batteries, spices, and seasonings.

I remember the good old days when everything at Dollar Tree really did cost $1.
