"In the world of insulated drinkware, Stanley and Yeti dominate the landscape. Data from MetricsCart shows that Yeti sells 375,000 units per month on Amazon alone, and Yeti's 2024 revenue was a staggering $1.83 billion (via StockAnalysis). But a 20-ounce Yeti Rambler tumbler costs $30, making it far from a bargain. If you're looking for a more affordable alternative to Yeti, Dollar Tree may have a surprisingly high-quality tumbler that fits the bill."
"SS304 or 18/8 stainless steel is steel that has 18% chromium and 8% nickel. It's food grade and used for utensils and other food production applications, too. The SS201 stainless steel used on the exterior of Dollar Tree tumblers is also food grade, but it contains less nickel, making it more affordable. In practical terms, both the Dollar Tree tumbler and Yeti tumblers are made of the same materials."
Yeti leads insulated drinkware with strong Amazon sales and $1.83 billion revenue in 2024, while a 20-ounce Rambler tumbler costs about $30. Dollar Tree sells a $7 tumbler listed with an SS304 interior and SS201 exterior. SS304 (18/8) stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel and is food grade; SS201 contains less nickel and is more affordable. Both tumblers use similar stainless-steel materials. The primary difference is the lid: Yeti uses polypropylene #5, common in microwave-safe containers and resistant to acid and heat, while Dollar Tree uses acrylonitrile styrene (AS) plastic, which is not microwave safe.
