Rule of thumb: a penny is a lucky bonus, not the plan. Full Dollar Tree guide →
“First carried by Dollar Tree” = when this item first appeared in Dollar Tree’s catalog — not how long it has been a penny. Penny status changes at the register and varies by store.
“DT updated” = when Dollar Tree last edited this item in its catalog (a price or detail change) — a useful recency signal, but still not a penny guarantee.

🔎 0 couldn’t find this. “Couldn’t find it” is a weak signal: pennies and clearance are scattered, store-specific, and sell out fast, so not finding one usually just means it wasn’t at that store that day — not that it’s gone everywhere.
Penny status varies by store — always verify on the in-store price scanner. How →
⚠️ A penny is often triggered when a product's packaging or formula changes — the maker gives the new version a new item number and the old one gets discontinued. So the item on the shelf can look identical but actually be the new (full-price) version. Match the exact item number, not just the look — small differences in packaging, size, or wording are the tell.
🔴 Red sticker over the old price? It usually means the price went UP, not down. As Dollar Tree moves off its old fixed price points ($1.25 → $1.50 and higher), stores cover the printed price with a new, higher one — shoppers report seeing this a lot lately, especially on toys. A relabel is not a clearance signal on its own. Occasionally a sticker instead marks a genuine markdown, or hides a repackaged replacement with a new item number (the old number is what pennies, not the new one) — but a covered price is far more often an increase. Don't treat the sticker as a deal: verify on the in-store price scanner and match the exact item number to know the real price.
Pricing & info come from Dollar Tree's distribution network, not individual stores. DCs supply the stores, so items are usually there — but expect some inconsistency unless a shopper has confirmed it.
This item is priced above Penny Tree’s $0.75 top price, so it’s not in the main grid — but it’s here so you can scan it and check. The price below is the shoppers’ consensus: report what it rang up as and the most-reported price becomes the working default until an admin sets it.
