Spoiler alert: We’re snacking this month! While I try to diversify our Dollar Tree hauls as much as possible—some snacks, some canned food, some frozen dinners—this month, a lot of sections at my local Dollar Tree were lacking. But that’s okay. At its core, Dollar Tree really excels at stocking new and exciting snacks that you can try for cheap. So ditch your diet and let’s talk about the best cheap groceries to buy at Dollar Tree in January.
- Pillsbury Funfetti Hot Cocoa Cookie Mix
-
In true Dollar Tree fashion, they’re getting things in a little late for the holiday season. And I love that for us! Because it means deals we get to snag something new on the cheap. Besides, there’s probably still snow outside your window, so these hot cocoa cookies will be just as sweet a few weeks after the holidays as they were a few weeks before.

- Campbell’s Country Style Sausage Gravy
-
Making your own country gravy at home is simple. But is it as simple as getting a can of the stuff from Dollar Tree for $1.25? I didn’t think so! Make your weekend brunch just a smidge easier to throw together by picking up a can of country gravy on your next trip into Dollar Tree, and thank me later!

- Flipz Peanut Butter Flavored Fudge Covered Pretzels
-
You’ve heard of peanut butter in pretzels but what about peanut butter on pretzels. Well…peanut butter-flavored fudge but still—innovative! Now I just need Dollar Tree to stock the cookies and cream version so I can go hog wild.

- Maruchan Cheddar Cheese Flavor Yakisoba
-
A true American’s dream: cheddar cheese yakisoba! One could call this sacriligeous to all that’s sacred about Japanese food. I, however, like fun, so I say let’s let ‘er rip! Dollar Tree is really stocking some oddities this month and I’m here for it. Grab a pack and try it out.

- Red Baron Deep Dish Meat Trio Pizza Singles
-
Well, winter break is about over, so that means you need after-school snacks on hand. Latchkey kids can be trusted to fend for themselves, but let’s make it a little easier by keeping easy-to-heat food on hand, like these Red Baron Singles from Dollar Tree. They’re enough to fill them up after the lunch they had at 10:30 a.m. but won’t spoil dinner. FWIW, the Sporked team is obsessed with these things.

- Franken Berry
-
I know the whole schtick of Dollar Tree is that everything should be $1.25, operative word being “should.” Still, I was genuinely surprised when this big box of Franken Berry cereal scanned in at $1.25. I was expecting it would surely be $3, even if it’s a leftover from Halloween. Take advantage of what might be the best deal I’ve seen at Dollar Tree yet, before they sell out.

- Haribo Harry Potter Gummy Candy
-
You probably conducted your annual Harry Potter marathon during the holidays, but if you didn’t, we have good news. You can grab a bag of these Haribo Harry Potter gummies at Dollar Tree and really complete the experience. Eating a sorting hat while watching a sorting hat? Dream come true!
