In summer, even regular weeknight dinners can feel like an occasion — especially with the right table setting. After all, enjoying a meal on the patio is one of those simple joys of the season people look forward to all year. And from backyard barbecues to breakfast out on a sun-filled porch, little details and stylish touches can go a long way in elevating summer hosting and everyday moments.
At the same time, summer goes by fast, so splurging on new dishes just for the season can feel excessive. That’s where an amazing deal just announced by Dollar Tree gives shoppers another option to refresh their dinnerware with pieces they love without overspending.
Dollar Tree is already the go-to for extremely affordable finds, but the chain just took those signature low prices even further by dropping the typical cost of a handful of its select plates, glasses and more to just $1.
In other words, it’s basically guaranteed shoppers are about to scoop up as much of it as they can. The promotion is only around for a limited time, though, so here are some of the lovely pieces you’ll want to keep an eye out for (or head to the store specifically for) on your next Dollar Tree run.
Royal Norfolk Sunflower Themed Ceramic Dinner Plates, $1 at Dollar Tree
Having a stack of these Sunflower Dinner Plates handy during summer just makes sense. Made of sturdy ceramic, these $1 plates have a vibrant sunflower print that brings bright, cheery bursts of color to the kitchen table that’s right on theme for the warm months.

Royal Norfolk Blue Burst Dinner Plate, $1 at Dollar Tree
The beauty of these Blue Burst Dinner Plates is how high-end they feel at Dollar Tree prices. “This dinnerware is almost the same as a set I bought for $70,” one shopper described, adding that that’s part of what makes Dollar Tree’s so hard to track down: “evidently everyone loves them.”
What makes both these Blue Burst and Sunflower Dinner Plates even more appealing is that, as Dollar Tree shows in its Instagram post, you can also coordinate them with matching bowls, wine glasses, dish towels and more to create an aesthetically pleasing summer tablescape. They’re dishwasher– and microwave-safe too, so cleanup is convenient.
With how budget-friendly everything is, we’d recommend not waiting around to grab any you spy at Dollar Tree. This $1 summer dinnerware discount runs through August 6, but since it’s only while supplies last, we have a feeling they’ll sell out a lot sooner.
