**The Dollar Tree Haul: A Treasure Trove of Surprises**

As I walked into my local Dollar Tree store, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. I had been to this store many times before, but today was different. Today, I was on a mission to find some hidden gems and surprises that I had never seen or picked up before. As I wandered down the aisles, my eyes scanned the shelves for any unusual or unique items that caught my attention.

**Coconut and Raspberry Mist Puzzles**

My first stop was the puzzle section. I love puzzles, and I'm always on the lookout for new ones to challenge me. I picked up three puzzles that caught my eye - a coconut-shaped one with intricate details, a raspberry mist one with a beautiful summer vibe, and another one with a cityscape that looked like it would be hard to solve. The 300-count puzzle seemed like the perfect starting point, and I couldn't wait to dive in and start working on it.

**New Puzzles and Coloring Books**

I also picked up some new puzzles that were part of my collection, including one with a Vegas theme that looked like it would be hard to solve, another with an American flag design that I loved, and a San Francisco-themed puzzle that seemed serene and peaceful. I'm always excited to add new puzzles to my collection, and these ones looked like they would be a great addition.

**Dollar Tree Book Collection**

I also made sure to check out the book section, which has been growing rapidly in my collection. I found some amazing deals on books that I had never seen before, including one called "Ungodly: The Goddess War" that caught my eye. I also picked up a tag book by author Dan Daniel Silva, who is known for writing thrillers like "House of Spies". I've always wanted to read this series, but never got around to it.

**Stencil Set and DIY Project**

As I continued shopping, I stumbled upon a stencil set that I needed for an upcoming fall DIY project. I love experimenting with different fonts and designs, and this stencil set looked like it would be perfect for the job. The last thing that caught my eye was a beautiful gold basket that I just had to have. It's not every day that you see something like this in the Dollar Tree store, and I couldn't resist its charm.

**The Gold Basket**

I was amazed by the quality of the gold basket, which looked almost too good to be true. The color was perfect - it wasn't too yellow or cheapy, but had a beautiful sheen to it that made it look luxurious. The design was simple yet elegant, and I couldn't wait to use it for my DIY project.

**Final Thoughts**

Overall, my Dollar Tree haul was a huge success. I found some amazing deals on puzzles, books, and stencils, and even discovered some new items that I had never seen before. It's always exciting to find unexpected treasures at the Dollar Tree store, and I feel like I hit the jackpot this time around.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enyou know what i should never be a part of pageants have this overwhelming feeling that something else would fly out of my mouth so like for example hi i'm maureen i'm from dallas texas where the heat is just as exhausting as the men i fully believe something like that would truly happen so anyways it's a good thing i'm not in pageants so there's that but i do want to say before i get into this haul to the ladies who joined my instagram live with me this morning while i put on my makeup and kept me company thank you so much love you guys and i'm gonna go ahead and jump into today's video because i need food and i should probably eat before i do this video so i feel like i'm gonna i'm gonna change into like a t-rex a very angry dinosaur here in a minute so you guys know i love this store so let me show you what i got and i'm really excited for some of these things actually there i got some stuff for my daughter's college apartment so i will show you guys that stuff now and the first thing that i decided to get are these suit storage bags i bought a few of them and i thought this would be a really great way for her to put all of her clothes in instead of like doing the trash bag thing which is probably honestly cheaper it is cheaper between the trash bag thing but i thought these would be really nice um i know how much room there is in these because i have a couple of them i use them to store you know wrapping paper for christmas and stuff but i also have them in my closet i have them over some of like dresses and stuff like that anyways i got them so that she could use these as a packing moving hack if you will also got just some napkins for the apartment as well just i mean there's 150 in here i thought that was a great buy for a dollar so i got those then i also got her some sponges i went with the cuter kind you guys know i get the the two pack with the green but these are also a two pack but they just have like the cute little designs i i don't care one way or another but i always end up getting the green ones and so i got her these two different kinds and i also got her some cleaning gloves i don't know if actual cleaning is going to be done but all right so i'm here editing and i had stopped the video right at this point and then i looked at my facial expression and i thought to myself look at you with the gloves gather some gloves for that just in case and i got some of the foil sheets one box for me and one box for her i ran out of mine i love these i can't say enough good things about them they're just full sheets i use these mainly to bake cookies in the oven um and yeah they just fit really well in the pan and i got her a box as well for her place and oh i also got her another pack that's fun just so i guess two of these and i also got her these containers from the dollar tree that say fridge storage bins you can see i have a little handle so you can easily like pull them out i got four of them just because i wasn't sure she's gonna have roommates so i thought maybe this will be a good way to like sort her items that she buys or i you know i don't really know i just thought it would be a great way to have like all of her things i guess together in one spot i mean obviously not everything's gonna fit into these but so can't believe these are a dollar tree for a dollar these clear bins that's just that's craziness to me anyways love those so those are for her and then for this house i got this cleaning towel this microfiber and i feel like this is the cloth i need to wipe down the granite countertops that i have and i think i've been using two harsh uh towels for that i did buy one not too long ago from dollar tree if you watch all my videos i bought a white one from the car section but i need another one just in case one's in the laundry and so anyways i got this one this next product i have been telling myself mentally to buy and i keep forgetting to pick it up and i keep forgetting to put it on my list because i also create a list on my iphone and it's just the funnels it's a little funnel set i i thought i was just grabbing one but then these were tied together and it says it's a three piece a three-piece funnel set for a dollar what this i'm gonna use this when i'm creating my cleaning solutions just put a plop it into the bottle and then pour everything would be so much easier that way so that's why i got that and also i picked up some more tissue paper i i have a lot of tissue paper but i wanted some of the solid colored ones and i
