In her video, TikTok user Kimberly (@kimnuzzolo) took her followers along as she shopped at her local Dollar Tree, showing off her “1.25 jackpot”.
After looking at some Easter buys, the bargain hunter checked out the grocery section.
Here she picked up a high-end buy for just $1.25, a fraction of what it costs at other outlets.
“I spotted this name brand organic Pacific tomato soup which retails for over $5 at the grocery store,” Kimberly explained.
She picked up the USDA organic gluten free soup carton to show her audience.
The Pacific Foods Organic Creamy Tomato Basil Soup is currently available for $6.19 from FreshDirect.
It makes the perfect affordable dinner for a cozy night in during the cold weather.
“Crafted with care,” Pacific Foods describe themselves as “passionate about delicious, high-quality ingredients”.
“We source 40 million pounds of Certified Organic ingredients every year,” the company shared.
The soup “combines the tangy sweetness of organic tomatoes with bright, savory notes of basil”.
“A little garlic and onion round out the flavor and add depth to this classic taste of summer,” manufacturers said.
They recommend topping your portion with cilantro or add cumin to spice it up.
As well as being gluten-free, this product is friendly to a wide range of dietary needs.
It is vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, wheat-free, and low-fat.
“We’re proud of using simple recipes and clean ingredients sourced as close to home as possible,” Pacific Foods said in the product description.
Dollar Tree pricing
Despite the name of the store, Dollar Tree recently added items that cost more than $1 to its inventory.
Most items at the store cost no more than $1.25, but items in the Dollar Tree Plus section cost up to $5.
Dollar Tree introduced Plus aisles to 100 locations in 2019 as part of an effort to diversify its products.
By 2022, Dollar Tree had added the items to over 1,500 locations.
“We believe testing additional price points above $1 for Dollar Tree products will enable us over time to expand our assortments, introduce new products and meet more of our customers’ everyday needs,” president and CEO Michael Witynski said in a statement.
“Our brand promise is that customers get great value for what they spend at Dollar Tree. We will continue to be fiercely protective of that promise, regardless of the price point.”
“We steer clear of preservatives, additives, and GMOs and always will.
“Our mission is to nourish every body, one meal at a time.”
So even if you’re already working on that summer beach bod, this soup will likely fit right into your diet.
However, this soup is not recommended for anyone with an allergy to soy.
The $1.25 carton measures one quart.
