If You Spot These “Adorable” $1 Floral Plates at Dollar General, Grab 6 (Before They’re Gone for Summer!)
Summer is in full swing, which means temperatures are at their peak, the kids are enjoying their break from school, and you’re likely planning your next backyard barbecue. Outdoor dining presents a handful of challenges, not the least of which is trying to decide which plates to use. Paper plates can feel wasteful, but using proper dishes outside can be precarious — all it takes is one tumble, and your dishes can shatter.
So what’s a host to do? Take a trip to Dollar General, of course! The budget-friendly retailer just debuted cheerful floral print dinner plates that are precisely what you need for your next outdoor party.
Made from durable, break-resistant melamine, Dollar General’s floral print dinner plates are a no-brainer when it comes to outdoor dining. They feature a delicate scalloped edge that makes them feel far more elevated and elegant than paper plates. Plus, the pattern is so cheerful that you might want to use them indoors, too!
The plates are 10.5 inches in diameter, so while they’re made to be traditional dinner plates, you can also use them for salad, dessert, or serving appetizers. They’re also lightweight, making them perfectly portable. Bring them to the park or the beach for a picnic! The best part is that they’re only $1 each, so stocking up really couldn’t be more affordable.
If you visit your nearest Dollar General and they’re sold out, or if you don’t leave near a Dollar General at all, don’t worry because you’ve got options. Amazon has a very similar set of melamine plates, each with a different floral pattern. The biggest difference is that they’re smaller than the plates from Dollar General, and they’re pricier, too. But it’s a great choice if you don’t have access to the original.
