If you don't live near a Dollar Tree, don't worry. You can find very similar mini mailbox-shaped Christmas tins on Amazon.

Dollar stores have been slowly raising prices. But one customer took offense at red dot stickers on many items in her local Dollar Tree, and the higher prices she found. Are they still a bargain?

If you still have last-minute Christmas items you need before Dec. 25, Dollar Tree may be the place for you. The chain will be closed on Christmas Day, but stores are open Christmas Eve, from 8 a.m.
