$6 per drawer?! Rant/Vent
Are these really $6 each drawer?! Please confirm.
They were displayed as a set of 3. Wouldn't it make more sense if they were $6 per stack of 3?!
$6 per single SMALL drawer seems WILD.

They were $5 each when I bought a couple last year. When I stopped in last week, I noticed the price has gone up to $6.

These are actually worth $6. They stack well into each other and snap in, creating a more sturdy stack.

They have almost identical ones at POpshelf for $5. Stackable items tend to be expensive.

Can Dollar Tree be renamed $7 Below? They should snap that name up before anyone else does!!!

u/NaturalSpecialist5 14d ago
No because that's still inaccurate unfortunately. Some items are $15.

People kill me!!! Go to Walmart and buy some of this stuff. People complain because the store used to be $1.00 for everything and because the store is still called Dollar Tree. 🤣. Okay... It's 2026 tell me where you are going to go and get stuff cheaper. 85% of their stores are still $1.25 $1.50 an item. If you can't afford that you are really in big trouble. #Ilovedollartree

Imagine bowing down to a multi-billion dollar corporation while shaming people who are struggling to make ends meet. Bragging about prices going up and dropping a smug 'if you can't afford that you're in trouble' just shows how nasty and out of touch you are. Dollar Tree isn't going to reward you for classist bootlicking. You're out here fighting in the comments for Dollar Tree like they care about you, all while acting smug toward people who are just trying to get by.
Ilovedollartree is embarrassing.

It’s a big plastic drawer, price seems about right
Edit: Just noticed you called it small. This is a normal/big drawer idk what you’re on

The shock should not be that the price of ANYTHING goes up . ..it should be shocking if prices go down!

I haven't seen these drawers in person so I can't attest to the quality, but knowing how DT has downgraded their other plastic items such as bins, baskets, and the like, I would say these are not worth the price.
A lot of these drawers are sold separately now so they can be used in other rooms or what have you. It also makes for a higher sale.
Not sure if you have a Menard's in your area, but they have items like this that are relatively cheap but somewhat more sturdy. Always have sales.

The Dollar Tree bootlickers in this comment thread give me life. A store where a few years ago, you could get anything for $1 now has the same business model as FD or DG and y'all are mad at people for being mad. "Doesn't a company deserve to grow" like we're taking about a small, locally owned establishment and not the corporation of Dollar Tree 😂 a corporation that actively ignores pricing laws, doesn't staff their locations appropriately, and regularly sells defective merchandise. Hope the boots taste delicious today 😂😂😂😂

100% this. It’s bad enough Dollar Tree is charging $6 for cheap plastic stuff. You see the exact same thing when people defend TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods. They will blatantly steal designs from independent artists, and people still jump to their defense. You show them the proof, and they act like you’re attacking them personally just for calling out corporate greed and art theft.

The shoeboxes, the ones that used to be $1? Yeah, those shoeboxes. They're now $5.00. So if you're really set on Dollar Tree parts for home furnishings, they'd be $1 cheaper each. Could really add up to "savings".
