It’s more than worth the money.
I discovereda lotof great finds, but one of my favorite kitchen items was the Cooking Concepts brandbamboo utensils.
They look and feel high-end, durable, and, dare I say it, expensive.

However, this was Dollar Tree.
I picked up three!
Compare that toCrate & Barrels five-piece set, which rings in at $24.95 plus tax.

With that 300 percent price increase, I could buy nearly 20 tools from Dollar Tree.
While they may not be hand-burnished like their pricier counterparts, theyre just as functional.
Plus, they come with the added comfort of soft-grip handlesa significant advantage in my books.
I also use them for non-cooking jobs, like serving salads and mixingbatters.
The silicone grips are a nice touch, especially during those tougher arm workout jobs and longer cooking sessions.
And the tools are surprisingly durable.
After a couple of months of use, there’s no warping or splintering.
Neither set is dishwasher safe (because bamboo), but theyre easy to clean by hand.
Now, do you see why Im crushing on Dollar Tree?
