I love the dollar store. Especially Dollar Tree. We have a great one nearby, and I go about once every two weeks. I used to go without a list - I'd have a few things in mind to pick up, but impulse buys were always picked up too! Now I make a list ~ I keep a running one between trips. Some of the best buys for us at the dollar store:
spices like garlic powder, Italian seasoning, sea salt grinders, pepper grinders, cinnamon sugar
drink mixes (like Crystal light - but different brands)
bottled water 6 & sometimes 12 packs
dishwasher powder detergent - works as well as what I spent $4 or more on at the grocery store!
rolls of blue painter's tape
packing tape
journals
ziploc style bags for lunches or the freezer
gift bags and tissue paper for gifts
party decorations - our store has at least 4-6 themed sets of plates, tablecloths, hats, favors, and more - including princess, army, cars, toy story, etc!
going the day after holidays for 50 cent giftwrap, ornaments, Halloween decor and more!
The biggest tip I can give you - make a list and stick with it - otherwise you'll go in for 3 or 4 items and come out having spent $20 or more!!
What's your favorite thing to buy at the Dollar Store?
