• Clothing: Instead of keeping everything, turn a favorite item into a pillow or keepsake—or donate it to someone in need.

• Personal Items: Keep one or two that truly matter. Too many can feel like a shrine and make it harder to move forward.

• Shoes: They symbolize someone’s journey, but they’re rarely useful to others. Give your loved ones permission to walk their own path.

• Hats & Accessories: These can stir strong emotions. Consider preserving the memory through photos or stories instead.

Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting—it means choosing to carry love in new, healthier ways.

What Not to Buy at Dollar Tree

Saving money is great—but some items just aren’t worth the risk or low quality.

• Electronics: Cheap chargers and headphones can be unsafe or break quickly.

• Cleaning Tools: Spray bottles and nozzles often fail fast.

• Utensils & Batteries: Flimsy tools and weak batteries don’t last.

• Canned Foods: Quality and safety can be questionable.

• Beauty Products: Ingredients may not meet health standards.

Spending a little more elsewhere can save you trouble—and money—in the long run.
