If you’ve ever made a dollar store haul, you know you can get much more bang for your buck on certain items as compared to shopping at Walmart or the grocery store. But what’s even better than saving a ton on everyday household items is finding dollar-store items that look high-end but cost only around $1. Finds like these make it easy to stock up on arts-and-crafts supplies, buy emergency gifts or redo the wall art in the guest bathroom.

From washi tape to helium-filled balloons, here are 10 things to buy at the dollar store that look way more expensive.

Washi Tape

“Dollar Tree has cute sets of five rolls of washi tape for $1.25 that look just as good as anything you’d find at a craft store, but for a fraction of the cost,” said Julie Ramhold of DealNews. “In fact, to get a similar set of only pastel colors (no patterns), you’d pay $10 for eight at some stores. They come in solid colors, glittery styles and prints, so they provide a good variety for your projects.”

Decorative Picture Frames

Framing a personal photo to give to friends and family members can serve as a great gift that won’t break the bank. Sometimes it’s hard to find a nice decorative picture frame for a cheap price, but dollar stores often have these deals. For example, Dollar General offers a 4×6-inch frame for $1.50 and larger options for $2. The catch is that these deals are often found only in stores, so you might not be able to order online.

Faceted Bourbon Glasses

“These look so elegant and better than just a plain old-fashioned glass, and they’re only $1.25 each, which just can’t be beat,” Ramhold said. “You can easily buy four or six of these and pair them with a more expensive crystal decanter to serve as your own set or even as a special gift.”

Pilsner Glasses

“These look just like the ones you’d be served a beer in from your favorite pub, but you won’t break the bank buying a set,” Ramhold said. “They’re perfect for enjoying your favorite local craft beer, and no one will know how little you had to spend on them.”
