And It's Only A Buck!

I have recently discovered something marvelous. The dollar store. OK, so it’s not a new concept I know, but I am thoroughly addicted.

There is a dollar store on my way to work. I stop in there about once a month. This is a REAL dollar store. EVERYTHING is $1.00. It’s amazing. I can walk in there with a twenty-dollar bill and come out with a bag full of wonderful things. 

For example:

When our son moved into his first apartment he needed some drinking glasses. I bought him 6 glasses at a buck a piece. Really nice glasses. I liked them so much that I went back and bought some for our kitchen. I also bought a new set of plates. One dollar each. REALLY nice plates.

Last week I stopped on my way to work. I needed toilet paper. 4 rolls for a buck. The soft kind. How wonderful is that? I also went down an aisle that had the cutest socks. So I bought 5 pairs. Actually, that’s wrong. Several were packaged with 2 pairs. I mean come on. You always need socks. Let’s face it. The washer and dryer have eaten their fair share.

This particular dollar store is extremely organized. I am most impressed when I go there. Not everything  is the greatest quality, but I have to say that I’ve found some really good stuff. The party supplies are outstanding.

Obviously I’m not shopping for clothes (socks don’t count), food or major appliances at a dollar store. But hey…for a few bucks I can cross a few things off my shopping list!

Have a great week everyone. The weather has changed and I’m loving AUTUMN!
