Dollar Tree hits Walmart twice in the United States: It's official

Dollar Tree and the two products with which it shows up Walmart in the United States

Dollar Tree has once again surprised shoppers with its low-price strategy. In two recent discoveries, the retailer has offered products of the same brand and quality as Walmart, but at much lower prices. This price difference has caused a stir among consumers.

Dollar Tree and a Much Cheaper Product than Walmart

The first case involves a Clarisse brand feminine intimate wash. This product, 4 fl. oz. (118 ml), is sold at Dollar Tree for only $1.25. In contrast, Walmart offers it at a much higher price: $8.80. The difference is shocking.

Despite the price disparity, the product is the same. It is not a "dupe" (similar product from another brand), but the same wash found in both stores. The Clarisse brand assures that its formula is gentle, hypoallergenic, and free of harsh chemicals.

Additionally, it keeps a balanced pH, ideal for daily care. Reviews from Dollar Tree shoppers also agree that it is an effective and gentle product. Of course, this reinforces the idea that the low price doesn't compromise quality.

Dollar Tree's Deodorant

Another product that has highlighted the price difference is the XtraCare brand women's spray deodorant. This deodorant, 2 fl. oz. (59 ml), costs only $1.25 at Dollar Tree. At Walmart, a pack of three cans of the same deodorant is sold for $16.99.

The price difference is 13 times. This deodorant has received good reviews from Dollar Tree users, who highlight its effectiveness and pleasant scent. In fact, the product has an average rating of 4.6 stars. In comparison, Walmart's offer still has no reviews, which has led many consumers to wonder if it is really worth paying much more.

Dollar Tree's Strategy

These two cases highlight Dollar Tree's strategy: offering good quality products at unbeatable prices. The chain is known for its "dupes" (products similar to high-end brands). However, in this case, it is the same products that other major stores sell at much higher prices.

In times of inflation and rising prices, consumers are more alert than ever to cost differences. Dollar Tree has managed to capture the attention of those looking to save without sacrificing quality. With more than 16,000 stores in the United States, the chain is establishing itself as an increasingly popular option for personal care products and other everyday items.

The Rise of Discount Stores

This type of discovery has reinforced Dollar Tree's business model. The chain has become a viable alternative to major retailers like Walmart, especially for those consumers who want to save. Discount stores continue to gain ground, and Dollar Tree is proving that it can effectively compete on prices without compromising quality.
