Dollar Tree shoppers are flocking to grab a baking essential now priced 43 percent lower than at Walmart.

This versatile confectioners’ sugar is a staple in many baked goods such as doughnuts and is perfect for creating frostings, icings, and glazes.
On the other hand, the same product has a 43 percent higher price tag at Walmart, where it is currently on shelves for $1.79 per pound.
Dollar Tree fans often delight over finding cheaper alternative to more upmarket brands.

Aldi brings back fan-favorite item after it sold out in just two weeks
Consumers are currently raving about $1.25 pumpkin-themed placemats from Dollar Tree that look strikingly similar to a pricier version sold at Pottery Barn.
The retailer offers a budget-friendly alternative to the upmarket retailer’s Bedford Harvest Cork placemats, which cost $48 for a set of four.
Dollar Tree has four designs – pumpkins, fall leaves, and messages such as ‘Give Thanks’ and ‘Hello Fall.’ Getting a set of four works out at $42 less than Pottery Barn’s offering.
The product description on Dollar Tree’s website promises that these polyester placemats ‘protect tables while adding a touch of excitement’ to gatherings or everyday meals.
Customers have flooded the review section, with all but two giving the product a five- star rating.
Shoppers have also snapped up a highly-rated $5 Christmas decoration at the store.
The ‘vintage style’ Christmas ornaments are available in three seasonal colors
Dollar Tree received backlash from fans for raising its price cap earlier this year
It comes just weeks after Dollar Tree faced widespread backlash for drastically hiking prices across its stores.
The company raised its price cap from $1.50 to $7 in a bid to boost profits.
Customers had reacted angrily to news of the higher prices – with one saying: ‘So now it is Seven Dollar Tree, and they can up their prices.’
But CEO Rick Dreiling told investors last month: ‘We are already seeing a meaningful sales lift at the 1,600 Dollar Tree stores that have been converted to our newest multi-price format.’
And chief financial officer Jeff Davis said that rolling out the $7 limit to more of the budget chain’s 16,000 stores will ‘drive higher gross profit per transaction.’
The company says that the higher price cap allows it to sell a much wider range of items – including food, snacks, beverages, pet care and personal care – that attract wealthier customers.
