They’re back…my favorite $1plates!

IMG_0869

Have you ever noticed how stores such as Pottery Barn and Williams Sonoma carry beautiful white dinner plates?  I have.  I have also noticed the price.  (too rich for my blood)  I love white dinner plates~especially porcelain (so they don't scratch) with beaded edging.  I have found some beautiful ones over the years for much less than I would pay at Pottery Barn, but this pattern from the DOLLAR TREE beats them all!  They are by Royal Norfolk.  I wanted to buy some last summer, but they were all out when I went back to pick them up, and the owner didn't think they would get them back in stock.  But they did, and I stocked up!  I think they are classic and beautiful~and you cannot beat the price!  What do you think?  I'm guessing that most dollar trees carry them, so if you are needing new plates, check them out!

  1. Great tip Robyn, I'm wondering if our local Dollar Tree in downtown Tewantin [Australia] keeps them too?

  4. I work part time at our Dollar Tree, I have 8 of them, they have mugs and soup bowls but our store is all out of them at the moment. I love them and they have held up well for a 1.00:0

  8. Felicity, I hope they have them in Australia! You'll have to let us know!!!! I actually think there is a dollar tree website.

    Rondell, thanks for answering Chris's question. I was thinking they had salad plates too, but maybe not. You would know better than I~ I bet you find some great stuff working there.

  9. I love those plates too. I saw them at our dollar store last summer and didn't buy them. I have a set of white plates but they're not as big. The son in laws complain when they have to crowd their plates at Thanksgiving! I'm hoping to find them again here and buy like 30 of them so we'll have enough for our growing family. Thanks for the heads up. Are you here in Utah? Or out of state? I wonder if they ship to different areas of the country?? Anyway, I'm going to go check it out. Mimi

  12. Mimi Sue, I live in the east, but I imagine that most Dollar Trees carry pretty much the same stuff. I do believe they have a website, but don't think they ship. Good luck in the hunt! I hope you find them there!

  16. I saw these the other day, and LOVE them as much as you do. I just wish I needed new dishes. They're not really going to go with my contemporary square plates I currently have. Maybe if we get the farmhouse that we're hoping to buy, I'll have to go stock up.

  18. I know this is an old post but I just bought these dishes too (they have very similar ones @ PB & WS- almost exactly) I bought bowls, plates, and mugs but I looooove to find some salad plates and even some saucers. Have you had any luck???
