Do you enjoy shopping at Dollar stores? I find some great stuff at dollar stores. Plus it saves money, and you don't have to be poor to shop at a dollar store. I like to buy most of my spices at the dollar store. The price at the market is expensive. There is a ton of everyday stuff that can be bought, and is just as good as any other brand.

When I was younger, I wasn't too keen on shopping at dollar stores, but you know, kids are always hooked up on what type of image that portrays to their friends at all times. I got over that pretty quickly though and I really enjoy shopping at them. But I don't forget that to get the best deals, I really need to shop around first. Sometimes you can get things for cheaper at other stores. I believe in finding bargains, I believe in getting what's most for your money, so I make sure that I watch what I spend and where I spend it so I'm making sure I'm not spending too much at any one store, when I can obviously get them for cheaper.

Well I think for younger kids it's a great place for them to buy gifts for everyone, when they are on a budget with their allowence. It gives them a good feeling. Now A days teens are even shopping at dollar stores, as they are relizing they can get more for their money. We all need to save a few cents here and there lol.

I love the Dollar Tree. Everything is a dollar or less and theres one just about 3 minutes away from my house. I practically live in that store. Its also on my way home from work and I usually stop there. Its become an addiction and I love it. So many Items for one Dollar and all in one place. Its great. I highly recommend the Dollar Tree.

We have a lot of dollar stores here to pick from, thats what makes it great all the dollar stores have different stuff, what you can't find at one, you will find at another dollar store. I acctually go to at least 3 dollar stores a week.

I also love buying stuffs from a dollar store. I just bought a kitchen towel holder yesterday for 2.50 and a piece of toy for my daughter. There are lots of interesting stuffs there and necessary ones in the househod that are really cheap. Some of them do not even look cheap. Nowadays, I pretend to be wise and frugal when it comes to spending money.

A few weeks ago I got a pair of Foster Grant sunglasses for $1.00 . Also I like the fact that they sell food and spices.

I love shopping at the dollar stores and at the dollar sections that some of the department stores have, too. It seems they have some of the same things at a much more reasonable price. I have purchased my Christmas cards at a dollar store for many years and they are just as nice as the more expensive ones. Also my wrapping paper. For my granddaughter's 12th birthday I decided to give her a helium balloon for each of her years and they were purchased at a dollar store. Much cheaper than at any other store.
