As autumn quickly approaches, many people are eagerly shopping for new decor to make their home cozy and festive. Unfortunately, those purchases can quickly add up at stores like HomeGoods, TJ Maxx, Hobby Lobby and At Home. But you can make it more affordable to welcome autumn into your home with the help of discount stores like Dollar General, where the items start at only $1. Keep reading to discover our favorite Dollar General fall decor pieces that will surely bring you joy. 

The best Dollar General fall dishware for autumn entertaining

Serving up a harvest feast in style is possible on a budget thanks to Dollar General. The store offers a number of different items for your next seasonal celebration. Look for large melamine trays printed with pumpkins or fall floral designs for just $1. We especially love the ceramic pumpkin tray, perfect for serving small baked goods. 

You’ll also find a number of other kitchen pieces that capture the fall feeling, like a “Grateful” napkin holder (pictured above), an orange utensil crock dotted with pumpkins and toadstool salt and pepper shakers.

If you’re looking to dress up your table even more, you can snag table runners and placemats with some festive flair. There are also vinyl and PEVA tablecloths (which can be much easier to clean), patterned with gourds and sunflowers.

Festive and affordable fall candles at Dollar General

Autumn fans take their seasonal scents very seriously, and luckily, Dollar General has plenty to offer. Candles, which start at $1 for the smallest sizes, come in appealing aromas like Pumpkin Pie, Sweater Season and Campfire S’mores. For even more fun, some are displayed in mugs with sayings like “Hello, Fall” and “Hello, Pumpkin,” while others are pumpkin-shaped.

We also spotted wax melts in many of the same scents, plus other varieties like “Maple Sugar.”

Cozy doormats and signs that welcome guests in style

Nothing says ‘welcome’ like an inviting doormat, and we spotted quite a few options on the shelves. This “Thankful and Blessed” mat in Earth tones caught our eye, but there were other varieties on the shelf too. Most mats on the Dollar General website include pumpkins, but you might get lucky enough to find the one with autumn leaves and acorns.

All of the doormats are advertised as being for indoor and outdoor use, and the more expensive options include rubber backing to prevent slips or falls. 

Wall signs, reminiscent of those you find at HomeGoods, TJ Maxx and Hobby Lobby, were also in abundance in a local store. Lush and colorful wreaths are also up for grabs, and we spotted a smaller version, with an autumnal wreath hanging on a mini door—perfect to hang on a wall or door!

When it comes to outdoor displays, look for large vertical “Welcome” signs for your front door or porch. You’ll also find stakes for the yard featuring pumpkins, corn, sunflowers and mushrooms.

What influencers are saying about Dollar General fall décor

Dollar General locations have been rolling out autumn decor since summer, with many shoppers taking to social media to highlight the stock at their local store. One TikTok video from July shows cute tabletop decor, including small faux pumpkins with a single painted letter. 

In another video, one person shares how you can create a cute and affordable table tray display using all Dollar General fall decor. A candle, faux plant, ceramic pumpkin sit perfectly on a wooden tray–all for $24. 

It’s likely the dollar store chain will continue to roll out merchandise now that summer is over, so expect to see more autumn goodies hitting the shelves!
