Well, $1 dollar is not bad unless quality is good. I like to go to a dollar store and buy little books for my son. The books is very thick and its not easy to thear it down. ZI also bought some CD tape and its veru reasonable. Do you like to go and shop?

Well, it depends on what the items are for sure when it comes to a $1 store as sometimes you get poor Quality there, or stuff you can get cheaper elsewhere sometimes too. But I love to frequent the Dollar stores. Back when I was doing a lot of Crafty type things, I used to get a lot of my stuff there for a lot less than like WalMart or Michaels and some nice stuff there to boot. So places like this do come in handy. My favorite Dollar Store in Dollar Tree.

I think it is fun to shop in a dollar store now and then. I like to by stuff like sand buckets for my son to play with and if it doesn't last long I don't feel like I am out much money. Also, I like trying to by party supply type things at a place like that.

I go to the Dollar Store to get things for swaps I'm in, or such. I get real good bargains in there. No complaint. I love Dollar General, Big Lots and the like too because I can get my deals in there.

There are a couple of really nice dollar stores in my area. I got Suave Ocean Breeze Body Wash for a dollar a bottle, the grocery stores usually sell them for $1.50 or more. Some of the snack food they have is the same as what you would get in the grocery store; chips, pretzels and cookies are usually average and a lot less than grocery stores charge.

Yes, I love shopping at Dollar Stores. The many reason is because most of the prices are very low and I'm on a budget. Dollar Tree is very good because many products such as energy drink (Rip It Sugar Free), Mist and Go (Shower mist to spray so the shower doesn't get mold), Generic Bendrayl, Gift bags/wrap, candy, and soda (one dollar for 20 fluid ounce bottle). They also have lots of unique products that they buy from manufactures or other stores that are very cheap. Just this week I found one of my favorite cereals (Curves Crunch) just one dollar. I was surprised. For the most part, the Dollar Store prices are reasonable and I love going there.

Hello,happymom,sometimes i will go to the dollar shop to have shopping,the quality of the goods may not be as good as the branded ones but the price is much cheaper,honestly i do not feel there is a huge difference in quality,i am happy to pay less for similar products with just unattractive packaging or difference in location of production.Sometimes,i can buy some cheap chocolates or biscuits in the dollar store.

Lately the $2 dollars stores have mushroomed into a very lucrative business in my place. Every corner of the town has a $2 dollars store. Most of the goods are products made in china. The products are not so bad and is a far cry from those you find in the superstore where the prices are 100 fold more expensive. It is a place for good bargains worth every cent of your money. I often go to these places to enjoy the varity of goods on displayed.

The Dollar Tree and Dollar General are some of my favorite stores. I love shopping at those stores. I go to the dollar tree every weekend because there is always something new in there. The dollar tree has a lot of name brand items for just a dollar. Sometimes you can get a 4 roll of cottonelle tissue for a dollar. I always buy little kids birthday presents from there, I like to fill a bag with some of the educational stuff they have. I also buy a lot of things for my daughter there such as lotion, baby wash, and a some oneies.

I love the dollar stores, i don't get a lot from in there but here in Oz you can get an awesome selection of Scrapbook stuff, i also love stickers & stationery from there. I usually buy wrapping from there too coz you can get 3 for $1.
Dog toys & cheap blankets for my pets usually come from there too coz they are only going to kill them anyway so i don't see a point in spending a LOT.
What else? Childrens board books are good from there, candles, coffee cups & stuff like that. Things that aren't likely to break but can still be used by a child are good - the board books mainly, occasionally i have bought childrens socks from there too - a good price & they're only socks!

We have two chains of dollar stores, one local one and a Japanese one called Daiso. I love shopping at Daiso because Japanese goods are so cute and innovative, not to mention really cheap there! They have a HUGE variety of stuff - clothes, food, utensils, and even skincare and haircare!

I love shopping at the Dollar Tree and other dollar stores. I pick up the waterless hand sanitizer that my kids need for school - it's usually $2-$3 at Wal-Mart. I also like the craft supplies and candles. One time I found these travel mugs that you can insert small scrapbook pages or photos into. These same mugs sold at Wal-Mart and Target for $9. I bought a bunch and sold the rest on eBay for a nice profit. Their picture frames are nice, but you have to check the quality. I think as long as you look around and check the quality you can find some really nice bargains!
