Dollar Tree — Local services in Fairview

I go to Dollar Trees, Dollar Generals and other discount stores in different hoods and cities so you don't have to!

And this particular Dollar Tree in Fairview, NJ is A-Okay with me. I've actually been going to this one for years, in fact it's my first Dollar Tree I believe! So this location popped my Dollar Tree cherry (possibly).

Anyhow, this isn't the prettiest Dollar Tree but it's usually well organized, well stocked and I often find things here that other Dollar Trees lack or don't have at all. The staff is usually nice, helpful but I've come across some people who look like they absolutely don't want to be there. Which I can understand but it's not my or our problem. Otherwise, friendly staff.

The patrons here are a mixed bag of people but usually they are okay. Once in a while I'll see some annoying ghettolings and some other......creatures of the night for lack of a better term. But otherwise, the people are good, humble people of the surrounding neighborhoods.

This isn't the most chaotic Dollar Tree but it does get a little crazy during peak hours which generally are between 2-6pm maybe 7pm on some days. Weekend mornings I avoid this place but have been lucky at times to not run into chaos.

Overall, this is a good Dollar Tree in Fairview and it's worth the visit if you need some things.

Pros: -Well stocked -Well organized -Located in a nice area

Cons: -Certain hours can be a little crazy -Some times you'll run into some...

Like every Dollar Tree, this store has really good stuff -- all guaranteed for $1 each. It is not a pretend dollar store; it is a true dollar store. It even has refrigerated food! Even those boxed candies that can be found in movie theaters but for four times the price. Good parking.

The only con is that this Dollar Tree is an incredibly disorganized mess. They should hire someone whose sole job -- SOLE JOB -- is to clean and organize and reorganize the entire store -- constantly, every hour of every day -- and they get the highest pay.

If you want really good bargains, are into treasure hunting, and are willing to dig through the dog items to get a pair of sunglasses, then this is the store for you. If severe disorganization (think TJ Maxx but 10x worse) depresses you, then this store is...

I love this store. They always have great items for an unbelievable $1. I purchased regular items like laundry detergent, dish soap, Gatorade, and chips, all in very generous sizes. The moment that most amazed me was back in early 2007 when my local Dollar Tree was selling PSP games and movies for $1. I mean PSPs were still very much being used and here I was about to purchase some soap and cleaning solutions when I noticed a cardboard bin filled with PSP games like Exit, Locoroco, and Syphon Filter along with movies like, Total Recall(the original) Terminator 2, and Tomb Raider. Recently I purchased some Blueray movies: Bruno, The 40 year old Virgin, and Anchorman, and yes all for $1 each. Keep an eye on your local Dollar Tree for some...
