"One must-have is Libby's sliced peaches in heavy syrup, which retails at Dollar Tree for $1.50 for a 15.2-ounce can at the time of writing. In comparison, this same size can of Del Monte peaches costs $2.62 at Walmart. Even Great Value's peaches in syrup are more expensive than the name-brand Dollar Tree find at $1.72. If you're stocking up on canned goods at Dollar Tree, this is one affordable selection you'll definitely want to add to your cart,"

"For one, you can turn canned fruit into a cobbler with the help of cake mix. Cover your peaches and syrup with dry cake mix and add pats of butter on top (not mixing) before baking it. The syrup is sweet enough, so you won't need to add any additional sugar (though you can add your favorite Dollar Tree spices, like cinnamon, for complexity)."

Libby's sliced peaches in heavy syrup at Dollar Tree cost about $1.50 for a 15.2-ounce can, undercutting Del Monte and Great Value prices. The peaches come packed in thick syrup, so draining is recommended or planning for extra sweetness is necessary. The peaches work well baked as a cobbler by topping with dry cake mix and pats of butter before baking; spices like cinnamon can add complexity. Cake mix and ice cream are available at Dollar Tree. Freezing the peaches and blending them in a Ninja CREAMi produces a one-ingredient sorbet, or the sliced peaches can be served atop ice cream.
