Consumers are currently raving about Dollar Tree’s $1.25 pumpkin-themed placemats that look strikingly similar to a more expensive version sold at Pottery Barn.
The retailer offers an affordable alternative to the luxury retailer’s Bedford Harvest Cork placemats, which cost $48 for a set of four.
Dollar Tree has four designs: pumpkins, fall leaves and messages like “Give Thanks” and “Hello Fall.” Getting a set of four is $42 less than Pottery Barn’s deal.

Dollar Tree received backlash from fans for raising its price cap earlier this year.
It comes just weeks after Dollar Tree faced widespread backlash for dramatically raising prices in its stores.
The company increased its maximum price from $1.50 to $7 in a bid to boost profits.
Customers reacted angrily to the news of the higher prices, with one saying, “So now it’s Seven Dollar Tree and they can raise their prices.”
But CEO Rick Dreiling told investors last month: “We are already seeing significant sales growth at the 1,600 Dollar Tree stores that have converted to our new multi-price format.”
And Chief Financial Officer Jeff Davis said implementing the $7 limit at more of the budget chain’s 16,000 stores “will drive higher gross profit per transaction.”
The company says the higher maximum price allows it to sell a much wider range of items – including food, snacks, drinks, pet care and personal care – that attract wealthier customers.
