THERE are at least eight items that budget-conscious shoppers are rushing to Dollar Tree for this month.

It consistently rotates products in and out to prepare for whatever's next, and summer 2025 is just about here.

That means Dollar Tree's shelves and website are stacked with merchandise starting at $1.25 that can complement whatever activities shoppers have planned for the coming months.

Except, the eight catching attention from many in May are the must-haves of the season, per AOL.

Some customers even said buying them "changed their lives."

A water blaster is a tried, true, and simple solution to offer the kids some summer fun in the sun.

It can help them stay cool in the backyard while hanging out and playing games.

Children six and up can use it safely, and it can even be bought in bulk quantities through the discount retailer's website.

Another great addition for the kids this summer is the Splash-N-Swim Snorkel and Goggle Set, especially for those who have pool, lake, or ocean access.

It can allow them to see under the surface of the water for fish or find their friends swimming around nearby.

The set is only $1.25 each.

Included is an adjustable snorkeling mask with nose covers, and then the snorkel itself in matching coloring.

Again, children six and up can use it safely.

A unique take on the beach ball experience through the Sesame Street design is becoming exceedingly popular at Dollar Tree.

Kids ages three and up who love Elmo, Oscar the Grouch, or Cookie Monster can play around with the character-themed ball.

For having any kind of get-together or Fourth of July celebration, Dollar Tree's Plastic Fruit-Shaped Bowls are another solid budget option.

They come in the shape of a pineapple, a strawberry, or a watermelon.

Again, they're only $1.25.

It's important to note that while they can hold hot or cold foods easily, they are not microwave safe.

Along a similar line is the Sweet Summer Fruit Slice Paper Plates.

Dollar Tree offers them in a pack of 10 for the low price of $1.25.

There are some different fruit selection options than with the bowls, and pairing them together would be ideal for a themed gathering.

Options include grapefruit, watermelon, or lemon slice designs.

Offered for both men and women, the discount retailer is also selling clog shoes that could be slipped on easily for lounging outside or doing light yard work.

The Men's Slip-On Clog Shoes are available in black for $5.

Women have a bit more color options of pink and white for the Mysoft Ladies Clogs.

They also cost $5 per pair.

For hanging out on the beach or backyard, reading a book, and enjoying a beverage of choice, a straw hat is needed for some shade.

The Ladies Straw Hat at Dollar Tree can offer that.

Similar hats can be up to $68, but the discount retailer has an option for just $3.

That's some serious savings for summer.

Another style-based addition that could save shoppers some serious money this summer is through Dollar Tree's sunglasses selection.

There are large assortments of designs in-store and online.

Options for men and women are priced at only $1.50 each.

That's a stark price difference from some designer options that can cost between $100 and even $500 or more.

Dollar Tree's CEO also recently vowed to "maximize" value for customers as it eyes the closure of 370 stores.

There are also other places where eager shoppers can find the viral Dollar Tree candy that completely sold out recently.
