Description
The 12 Dollar Tree items old-timers bought before winter, and what each one costs this fall. Light, water, food and warmth for a power outage, plus the one battery word that decides whether your flashlight works.
Prices are no longer a dollar. Most run $1.25 to $1.50, a few about $6. Read your tag, because every store differs.
