13 Best Breakfast Finds To Look For At Dollar Tree

As the saying goes, breakfast is the most important meal of the day — and, for many foodies, it's also their favorite meal of the day. After all, there are a plethora of tasty breakfast food options out there. Ideally, we'd have time to make an elaborate breakfast every morning, like something from our list of easy and delicious breakfast recipes. But sometimes, we just need a super quick breakfast that's convenient for the busiest of mornings. If you're looking to stock up on easy breakfast foods while still sticking to a budget, then look no further than Dollar Tree. 

The discount chain actually has a ton of breakfast options, many of which fit into a hectic lifestyle — while still being tasty and satisfying. Some of these can be used to make more elaborate breakfasts for lazy weekends when you want to savor your first meal of the day. Either way, to help you sort through your options, we've put together this list of some of Dollar Tree's best breakfast finds.

Sometimes, all we want for breakfast is a classic bowl of cereal. At Dollar Tree, you can buy single-serve cereal cups of a ton of your favorite cereals, such as Froot Loops (which took home the gold in our ultimate ranking of popular cereals). But if you're not a Fruit Loops fan, Dollar Tree also offers cups of Honey Nut Cheerios, Raisin Bran Crunch, Lucky Charms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Apple Jacks.

For a savory breakfast option, you can grab this Jimmy Dean croissant breakfast sandwich, which features sausage and cheese. It's a single-count package, so it's great for someone who likes to have many different easy breakfast options available without taking up too much space. Dollar Tree also offers other Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich options, such as the biscuit and English muffin versions.

One of the easiest, most convenient breakfast options out there is a protein bar. At Dollar Tree, you can buy a single Kellogg's Special K chocolate peanut protein bar (so you don't have to commit to a whole box). It has 12 grams of protein, 190 calories, and 7 grams of sugar. And if you're not a fan of peanut butter, Dollar Tree also sells the strawberry flavor of this protein bar.

If you love making pancakes and waffles in the morning, it doesn't hurt to keep a box in your pantry. So, next time you're at Dollar Tree, be sure to grab a box of this original Hungry Jack mix (the buttermilk version is also available). Plus, you can be assured that you're buying a good brand, as Hungry Jack made the top three in our ranking of 12 store-bought pancake mixes.

Oatmeal lovers need to grab a bag of this Sunbest 100% whole grain quick oats, which can make an entire bowl in just one minute. Plus, it's a good source of fiber, so you're starting your day off right. Of course, you'll want to sweeten or dress up the oatmeal to your liking and, if you need an idea, you can look to our copycat recipe for McDonald's maple brown sugar and fruit oatmeal.

If you're going to be making pancakes or waffles for breakfast, then you're going to need to have plenty of syrup on hand — so add this Founders Street original pancake syrup to your Dollar Tree cart. It has a rich and sweet taste (it's not a pure maple syrup, so there is added sugar in this product). There's also a butter-flavored version available at Dollar Tree for when you want an even richer syrup.

If you need an easy-to-make side dish for a homemade breakfast plate, buy a bag of the Jimmy Dean Heat 'n Serve sausage links. These links, which are made of both pork and turkey, are already fully cooked, so all you have to do is heat them up in the microwave and enjoy. Serve these alongside scrambled eggs and hash browns for the ultimate breakfast.

It's likely that you think of Pop-Tarts as a nostalgic childhood treat, but there's no reason not to enjoy them as an adult, too. So, grab a box of the frosted strawberry Pop-Tarts (which we placed in the very top spot of our ranking of every single flavor of Pop-Tarts, by the way). And if strawberry isn't for you (or you want to buy more than one box), Dollar Tree also sells three other popular flavors: frosted blueberry, frosted s'mores, and frosted brown sugar cinnamon.
