The plush toys are intended for collection and feature popular Disney characters.
A listing on Walmart’s website offers one for $24.95.
In the meantime, you can buy a small one at Dollar Tree for just $1.25.
DOLLAR DEAL
While Dollar Tree’s version is much cheaper than Walmart’s, it’s unclear if there’s a size difference.
The Walmart version may be larger, but the listing doesn’t indicate that.
Other sellers on the Walmart website are offering the toy cheaper, for about $8.
However, the Dollar Tree version is cheaper.
Dollar Tree’s toy is small enough to fit in your hand.
“The best stuffed animals ever,” said one five-star review.
Others were surprised to see her in the store.
“I was just looking for other things when I happened upon the box of 48 Tsum-Tsums and bought them all! I was surprised no one got there before me, or don’t they know how desirable these are?” said another.
Some said they couldn’t find exactly the characters they were looking for.
Prices and availability may vary by location.
It is not clear how widespread these characters are.
DOLLAR NEWS
There have been many changes in dollar stores in recent years.
Dollar Tree is closing around 1,000 stores nationwide.
The CEO blamed a “difficult environment” for the business – inflation had made the dollar concept more difficult.
However, there is not only bad news for the company.
It is moving into several former 99 Cents Only locations.
A Dollar Tree employee recently told us about an item that is a “beast” to handle.
The chain offers a cheaper version of a popular spicy snack.
Dollar Tree Prices
Despite the store’s name, Dollar Tree has recently added items to its line that cost more than $1.
Most items in the store cost no more than $1.25, but items in the Dollar Tree Plus department cost up to $5.
As part of its efforts to diversify its products, Dollar Tree introduced Plus departments in 100 locations in 2019.
By 2022, Dollar Tree had added the items to over 1,500 locations.
“We believe that testing additional price points above $1 for Dollar Tree products will allow us over time to expand our assortment, 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 a lot for their money at Dollar Tree. We will continue to defend that promise with all our might, regardless of price.”
