Dollar Tree party essential is snapped up by shoppers for $1.50 – and is available in multiple versions

Shoppers rush to Dollar Tree to pick up a cheap party accessory just in time for New Year’s Eve.

The discount chain is offering its customers festive balloons that retail for $1.50 each.

The 18-in star shaped foil balloons are available in more than 10 colors, including gold, silver and red.

In addition to parties, the star-shaped balloons could also be used in floral arrangements or to celebrate other holidays, according to the company’s website.

The product is also expected to hold helium longer than latex balloons and not pop easily due to the foil material.

All foiled balloons will not be inflated, but Dollar Tree employees can inflate the products regardless of whether a customer purchased them online or in-store.

The store also stated in the product descriptions of star-shaped balloons that customers should speak with a store manager to plan inflation due to a location’s helium supplies.

Customers may also be required to show a copy of their receipt to a Dollar Tree representative.

Dollar Tree online shoppers looking to purchase the product can choose from 11 colors on the company’s website.

Buyers have praised all 11 star-shaped balloon deals online, but the star-shaped fuchsia colored balloon is the only one with a five-star rating.

‘The color was beautiful and it looked really nice when inflated. I ordered the box online and the store blew up my entire box for me,” one customer wrote about the box red star shaped balloon.

‘It was a bargain if you are on a budget, you save more than going to a party store. The quality is equal to paying more elsewhere!.’

‘I always use this product for different parties because it comes in different colors and lasts longer than latex balloons. This product is a GREAT value at a GREAT price,” one customer wrote about the star shape balloon in purple.

Several reviewers also praised Dollar Tree employees for helping them inflate all the foil balloons ordered online.

The quantities of star-shaped balloons shoppers claimed to have purchased in the reviews range from five to 150.

The low-priced balloons aren’t the only products shoppers have rushed to Dollar Tree for in recent months.

The chain is known for its dupes that are extremely similar to products from places like Pottery Barn and Starbucks.

One dupe that Dollar Tree fans were looking for before the fall season was a $1.25 candlestick that resembled a $15 product from Pottery Barn.

The discount chain also had several dupes available before Thanksgiving.

Customers saw $1.25 Christmas stockings at Dollar Tree that were identical to a $29.59 stocking from Pottery Barn.

One thing social media users in the US and Canada were excited about, however, were skincare and makeup dupes that resembled products from Sephora.

A few TikTok users praised Dollar Tree’s beauty dupes and were impressed to find that $1.25 products resembled Sephora items valued between $26 and $60.

Other notable dupes spotted at Dollar Tree include a $1.25 pumpkin-themed placemat, a $3 Christmas garland, and a $6.99 poinsettia and berry decoration.

Despite the deals, Dollar Tree is in the process of closing nearly 1,000 stores nationwide in the coming years to revamp its business.

Eight Dollar Tree locations closed their doors for good the week ending December 13.

Shoppers were also furious with Dollar Tree after the company increased the maximum allowable product prices from $1.50 to $7.

The chain’s CEO, Rick Dreiling, claimed that the company was already seeing a “meaningful increase in sales” at all Dollar Tree locations nationwide.

Its chief financial officer, Jeff Davis, added that the $7 limit “will deliver higher gross profit per transaction.”
