In several Tiktok videos published this month, buyers have presented price scanners in Dollar Tree stores. While scanners like this, which allow you to check the prices before going to the register, are common in other stores, clients of dollars have found them a little disconcerting. If everything in the store is $ 1.25, why is a price scanner necessary?

In a February 7 Tiktok video , a coupon in California (@niecy_deals) made a race when she spotted a price scanner for the first time.

"The dollar tree has increased from $ 1 to $ 1.25, [and] the items that are high prices are the gift cards you see there and the foods that are clearly marked in the back in the braking section ", explains @niecy_deals. (Dollar Tree has a more expensive section for refrigerated and frozen foods, as well as the Dollar Tree Plus line, which offers items between $ 3 and $ 5.)

"Dollar Tree, you have explanations to make: $ 1.75 for a liter of soda?" @ Couponchica1 says in a video published during the weekend. "We have accepted the section more, but what we cannot understand is why you would do it Increase the price at random items that cost $ 1.25. Make sense. ""

A commentator said he worked at Dollar Tree and the higher price was inevitable due to an increase in pepsico, but @ couponchica1 said other items were also more expensive.

"It was not only soda," wrote the tiktker in response. "$ 1.50 sunglasses $ 1.50."

Illustrating this point, another user of Tiktok Holly Brooke (@ Hollybrooke92) filmed his receipt Dollar Tree in a video on February 7, showing that it was billed $ 1.50 for three pairs of sunglasses.

"Can someone tell me when Dollar Tree changed its prices from $ 1.25 to $ 1.50?" she asks. "It's crazy. I didn't even know they had changed it."
