Grocery prices are still at record highs<\/a>, which means many of us are seeking more affordable alternatives to pick up essentials for the fridge and pantry. While the Dollar Tree may be best-known for party props, cleaning supplies, and inexpensive houseware, the store also carries a wide variety of the familiar food brands you can find in any Walmart, Kroger, or Publix. In fact, they even boast a range of specialty items to accommodate more specific cooking and baking needs\u2014all priced competitively at the chain\u2019s signature $1.25 per unit.<\/p>\n

After a recent perusal of the shelves, we\u2019ve rounded up 14 products we were pleasantly surprised to find. From gnocchi and tamarind soda to egg noodles and guava nectar, Dollar Tree is a one-stop shop for a good portion of your grocery list (the chain doesn\u2019t sell fresh produce and many refrigerated items). Even better, these budget-friendly products are also conveniently available online for same-day delivery.<\/p>\n

1. Gnocchi Packs<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

This potato-based pasta is sold in 17-ounce packs and happens to be one of the most affordable on the market, according to dozens of five-star reviews in the comments section. Fry up and toss with your favorite sauce, from Marcella Hazan\u2019s brilliant Tomato Sauce With Onion and Butter<\/a> to fresh pesto<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Panko Breadcrumbs<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

Light and airy yet perfectly crunchy, these breadcrumbs will elevate any dish that could use a crispy touch (creamy lemon spaghetti<\/a>, anyone?) and make an A+ homemade mac and cheese topper.<\/p>\n

3. Pumpkin Pie Spice<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s a little secret: Pumpkin pie spice will save you additional money since it\u2019s already a blend of common aromatics like cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Instead of buying them separately to make seasonal desserts, opt for the solo shaker and go to town. Mix a teaspoon into your morning oatmeal as well, and you can enjoy the tastes of fall year-round.<\/p>\n

4. Jarritos Tamarind Soda<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

If you like a little tang, you\u2019ll appreciate the sweet-sour notes of this tamarind-flavored soft drink\u2014made with 100 percent natural sugar\u2014from popular Mexican soda brand Jarritos.<\/p>\n

5. Canned Sardines<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

Love \u2018em or hate \u2018em, Dollar Tree\u2019s got sardines. Eat them straight from the tin or use them as a base to your favorite briny salad dressings (they also make a great pantry staple to survive any impending zombie apocalypses).<\/p>\n
