I give up control the moment I walk into a Dollar Tree. Each month, I let my heart and taste buds guide me toward the new and exciting things to check out. Why am I just now telling you this? So I can’t be blamed for the absurd list I’m about to share with you of what to buy at Dollar Tree this month. Look: You can and should buy actual filling and healthy foods at Dollar Tree. Unfortunately for you and I, this month’s new lineup of Dollar Tree finds are neither filling nor healthy. But they’re fun! And new, which is what I really try to look for when I throw these together. So let’s just throw caution to the wind this month and focus on a snack-filled month this time around.
- Mrs. Freshley’s Reese’s Peanut Butter Flavored Cupcakes
-
It’s no surprise that Reese’s found a way to slap their name on some cupcakes. Reese’s would probably collab with a toilet paper company if they thought you’d buy it. Frequent shoppers know that Reese’s cupcakes aren’t quite as new as other products on this list but they are new to my Dollar Tree. Plus, Sporked’s Jordan Myrick and Justine Sterling didn’t try them in their taste test of Reese’s products, so you can one up them when you grab a pack from Dollar Tree.
- Werther’s Original Cookie Butter Creme Soft Caramels
-
I’ll say what we’re all thinking: The world needs more cookie butter in it. Whoever created this stuff—it’s basically like peanut butter made with crushed-up cookies—deserves a medal. So you better believe I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw that Werther’s made soft caramels with a cookie butter filling. That’s an easy snag from Dollar Tree.

- Chocolate Lovers Twinkies
-
There’s probably an alternate dimension out there where Twinkies are like Oreos. A new formula getting thrown together each month leaving you with a Twinkie in every flavor imaginable. Unfortunately, we don’t live in that dimension so we have to savor the new Twinkies as they slowly trickle out. These chocolate lovers are new to shelves, and you know Dollar Tree got in on the ground floor of that action.

- Juice Monster Papillon
-
I’ll be honest: I first noticed this Monster flavor among the sea of other Monster flavors based solely on the design of the can. A peach-colored can of Monster adorned with butterflies is far from the Monster imagery I grew up with, but hey, it got me to take a closer look! This flavor didn’t make Sporked’s ranking of the best Monster flavors, but I did notice a few fans of the flavor in the comments!

- Victor Allen’s Peppermint Mocha Iced Coffee Latte
-
We’ve barely gotten past Halloween, but there are already some holiday products on shelves at Dollar Tree, like this festive iced coffee. Victor Allen’s iced lattes come in a lot of flavors, but if you’re a proponent of seasonal creep, give this chocolate-peppermint variety a shot if you see it at your local Dollar Tree. No one will judge you for ringing in the season a little early.

- Snack Pack Banana Cream Pie
-
Snack Pack pudding cups make a good midday snack, and honestly, there’s nothing more fun than a super desserty flavor to go with your lunch (we are firm believers in breakfast dessert and lunch dessert here at Sporked). Banana cream pie you can eat with a spoon after the mediocre sandwich you packed? Sure, why not.

- Mrs. T’s Classic Cheddar Pierogies
-
Frozen pierogies are underrated. What’s not to like about mashed potatoes stuffed inside pockets of dough? Add cheese into the mix, and you just have my favorite foods all in one place. Sorry, vegetables but you can take a back seat this time! Okay, okay, we can be responsible and get a side of mixed veggies from Dollar Tree to try to balance it out a bit.
- Golden Krust Jamaican Style Mild Beef Patty
-
Jamaican style beef patties are an easy savory snack or delicious main dish to work around for a filling dinner. Either way to choose to go about it, you’ll be glad you added a few of these to your cart at Dollar Tree. I just wish they were around last month so I could have included them in our roundup of easy lunches from Dollar Tree!
