As a diabetic I have to take extra care with my injuries, especially on my feet. My guy is undergoing what seems like endless treatment for his skin cancer, and just last week got 16 stitches on his chest after they removed more of that. Tending to both of us with first aid products is getting expensive, so on my last trip to Dollar Tree I went to their first aid section.
This first comparison really annoys me, because I have been paying $3.99 for a box of 7 large Band-aids for a while now. 10 Curad bandages, while not waterproof and a little smaller, go for $1.25 at Dollar tree. I could buy three boxes of these for what I pay for one at Target and have, yep, money left over.
This is just a convenience buy -- a spray bottle of hydrogen peroxide, which will really help when I treat my guy's derm work, for $1.25.
We actually went to look for peroxide at Wal-Mart, and they were sold out of the $2.98 quart bottle. Dollar Tree had the same size for $1.25 -- another product I could buy almost three of for the price they want at Wally World.
I used this size bandage most often, and go through boxes of them while treating my own cuts. I usually pay anywhere from $4.99 to $6.99 at Target for Band-Aid brand; this one was $1.25 at Dollar Tree.
