I LOVE the Dollar Tree and I love over 125 Dollar Tree Low Carb and Keto Items!
Everything for a dollar just floats my boat–OK, $1.25 now but that is still good for most things.
I was surprised actually, at how many things even a strict Keto-er can find here; over 40 items.
And for low carb-ers, over 125 Dollar Tree Low Carb and Keto Items!
Many things here have low carbs but don’t have great ingredients, which is why they are cheap.
For example, I found that the Extra Virgin Olive Oil blend is 94% soybean oil!
What?!?!?
Well, MY readers will not pick that up in ignorance! 🙂
I am here to tell you to avoid that! The word “blend” is in tiny print and you have to look at the ingredients label to see just what is in the extra virgin olive oil.
It is not always what it seems–and that is on any label, not just at the Dollar Tree.
A good rule is to always read the labels.
These pictures were taken in both Virginia and Oregon Dollar Trees.
I live in VA but was visiting OR so thought I would see how similar they were. I was surprised at how much of the same exact stuff was in both stores.
There will be some variations here and there but both coasts are almost identical.

How this post is laid out
I know there are almost as many ways to do the Keto or Low Carb diet as there are people.
To make this for all to see what they want easily, I divided the items into 3 sections; a strict Keto section, a middle ground allowing a few ingredients–like ascorbic acid, citric acid, ferrous gluconate, calcium chloride, annatto color and artificial and natural flavors–that may be iffy or OK or not depending on a million opinions, and a “dirty” (opposite of clean ingredients), “lazy” (just look at carb count or not even keep a daily count) or low carb folks who don’t care as much about that kind of thing.
I added pictures of the nutrition labels so you can see if this is something you want before you even get there.
Since “a picture is worth a thousand words”, the rest of this post is mostly pictures; hundreds of thousands of words! 🙂
If you are strict Keto, stick to the top section. I kept that separate so you don’t have to sort though it all.
Middle ground folks, look at the top two sections.
Lazy and Dirty Keto or Low Carb folks; it is all fair game!

The Pampa brand Mackerel at my Dollar Tree says 30g carbs per 8.47oz can. However the smaller 4.9oz can, same brand, says 0 grams. Both have identical ingredients. 🤔 I am so confused. What am I missing? I wish I could upload a pic to show everyone.

Wow, Chris, I don't know! Without seeing the can, I can't say for sure but it sounds like it could be a misprint to me. If the ingredients say "mackerel, salt and water" like the one in the post, it can't possibly be 30 g of carbs.
