According to the recent video from deals aficionado Maddi, the store has updated essentials.

Some offer quality and durability, while others don't fit the bill.

There's even one item that you can make at home alone for virtually no cost, per Maddi.

Here's what you should grab at Dollar Tree, according to the deals pro.

First and foremost, Maddi urged her followers to watch out for Dollar Tree's updated pantry containers.

The old style was "flimsy and also plastic," she said.

Maddi explained that the new pantry jars are glass, which will last longer and are better quality than the former.

Secondly, the deals pro urged shoppers to look for Dollar Tree's drinking glasses.

The key to finding the best ones will require you to "look for weight."

The heavier the glasses are, the better they are, per Maddi.

She also noted that they should all withstand heat, and the Dollar Tree mugs will come without lids.

Instead of a lousy sponge or a wet cloth for cleaning, Maddi opted for the scouring pads that Dollar Tree offered.

She explained that they're heavy-duty, and will seemingly be tougher on messes than some other options.

Based on the video, they come in packs of eight.

Maddi also highlighted Dollar Tree's window cleaners for a brief moment in the clip.

"I also wanted to give a highlight to these," she said.

"These are so durable and have so many uses — I've even used this to wick water off of my horse after washing him in a pitch."

Lastly, Maddi recommended Crayola's Bath Tub Finger Paint Soap from Dollar Tree.

According to her, many mothers approve of the item for their children.

"Finally, the moms have spoken - this finger paint is a yes," Maddi said.

As Maddi noted right away in her video, the plastic storage containers likely won't be able to withstand your requirements of it.

In her opinion, it's better to opt for the glass containers for durability and quality.

Maddi also claimed that Dollar Tree's air fresheners aren't worth your time.

Instead, she offered a way for shoppers to make their own air fresheners with a list of ingredients that she wrote overlaying the clip.

They included one spray bottle, filled with about three quarters of water.

She then recommended that viewers add 20 drops of essential oil.

Lastly, two tablespoons of witch hazel should do the trick.

Maddi concluded by saying that the Scrub Buddies Quick Erasers pale in comparison to the scouring pads at Dollar Tree.

The scouring pads supposedly clean better and last longer.
