What kind of things do you buy at the Dollar stores?

I mainly buy toys for my grand kids - a buck and they just play the living daylights out of it! Many times the dollar toys are played with longer or more often than the more expensive ones! I just got both my girls pricness stuff - necklaces, earings, brackelts etc all in a package - a buck. Also a furry capelet, and a princess wand. This i s the first toy they run to when they come to my house and they literally "wear it" all day long! Whether they are actually playing princess or not, they just love wearing it! ANd there sits the My Littles PEt SHop stash...forgotten! I also always check every single isle everytime I go in - never know what they might have this week! They have been increasing their scrapbook section - and that stuff can get rather pricey in stores - but a buck at Dollar Tree and name brands and all! I love their box cereals - Malt-o-Meal brand - better than the name brands! Hair stuff, school stuff they just have such a variety and all for a buck. Hope mine doesn't raise the prices any! If you are a Asst Maanger - how much of your pay check gets spent before you leave the store!?!?!?!?! LOL!!! my daughter was looking for a second part time job and I mentioned to her Dollar Tree was hiring and that is what she said - "my pay check would be spent before I got out the door!".

I love Dollar General and drive 25 miles to go to one.....I love their glitter pens by starlitz....I use them for making my cards. I also love the Bobby Brooks clothes and last year found the best pair of sweats I have ever worn! Thier supplements are less expensive like I use fish oil or flax oil and it's by far cheaper and when I was looking for a round plastic table cloth last year.....yup....got it at Dollar General. We have a Dollar tree here and I buy my napkins...and other paper goods as well as scrapping and craft supplies for my granddaughter. I love dollar stores!

I buy mainly groceries, but sometimes things like socks or small gifts. I'll get holiday candy there, like for Halloween or Christmas. I go to Family Dollar, Dollar General and another one I can't remember the name of... haven't been to any of them in awhile, so it's about time for it!

When I am in a dollar store I am in a state of glory. Much of my craft supplies I buy, food, coffee, extention cords, cleaning supplies, toilet paper, Cheetos, underwear and socks...my list could extend up and down every aisle. Usually, I just go in, grab a basket, and let my pocketbook be my guide.

cool. i love the dollar store and the 99cent store. i've shopped them for years. its surprising how you can sometimes find brand names at such a low price. makes me wonder how and why they offer it so much cheaper than other stores.

One of the dollar stores here does not have that much of a big selection of anything. But when I go, I always buy several bags of candy. lol. I have this decorated cross with a scripture on it that sits on my table--it's really beautiful. I also buy those plastic and glass things--I don't know what they're called--and I've filled some with potpourri and some with seashells that I also got from the dollar store. And also, I've bought those toothbrushes there's like 5 for a dollar, and candles too.

i live in canada and have one dollar store that gets clothing in from time to time and i just bought a denim skirt (for a dollar!) and i buy a lot of scrapbooking stuff from different dollar stores for my cards and books, plus candy, shower gel and hair stuff.

I do buy things in my local dollar store, but sometimes I wonder if I'm getting the best deal. I sometimes see things in Walmart and Target where the prices are actually lower than the dollar store, but my dollar store is so close to me that I will often go there to pick up wrapping paper, gift bags and greeting cards. I did order balloons from the dollar store and they were quite a bit less than the party store and they did just as good a job.

I shop at dollar tree. I buy a lot of different things there. I buy cleaning products, dishes, office supplies, cooking supplies, gift wrap and so much more. I also buy my shampoo there and my shaving cream. I love dollar stores and I buy as much as possible there since they are way cheaper then other places. I even buy food their occasionally.

Here in Canada our good dollar stores are Dollar Giant and Dollarama. We go to both of them a LOT. We buy all sorts of things from there; garbage bags, sandwich bags, kitchen utensils(I get the BEST "spoonula's" from there), storage items(like baskets), hangers, dish cloths, kitchen towels, stationary, gift wrap and bags, cards, socks, craft stuff, seasonal decorations, and definitely so much more. They are truly a money saver! Just one example, I got a booklight from there that I have seen at other places for anywhere from $5 to $15, the exact same light, and I only paid a buck, got a backup one too. We spent some time in the US and we shopped at the 99 Cent Store and Dollar Tree while we were there. There is some things different that the dollar stores there had that we don't have in our dollar stores here and vice versa. I didn't shop at Dollar General a whole lot because not everything was $1 and under there, I like the stores where nothing is over a dollar. I did shop at Dollar General a bit in AZ when we were there though because there wasn't an under a dollar kind of dollar store near where we were.

I go to the 99 ceents only store. Lately though, prices have increased a bit. It's still a lot cheaper than the regular store though. I buy fresh fruits and vegetables, canned goods, some frozen veggies, individual pizzas, pot pies, frozen fish filets, and a lot of paper goods. Every week there is a new item for that week. Sometimes it's 2 liter sodas which are sold 2 for 99 cents, sometimes is other discounted items. I also buy bread and bagels. I stocked up on a lot of items today for $89.00 so I pretty much have a lot of extras and meals to make for a small amount of money. These days, it really helps out to be able to get extras at rock bottom prices.

Water Spray bottles, Hair ties, Shower curtains, glasses and mugs, floatie toys, scrapbooking material, dog chewies, gift wrap, chili powder, phone line, cd cases, candy, some toys, paper towel. It really depends all on my mood and what I'm inclined to buy as i wander through and the prices. I LOVE dollarama. They have awesome prices on things like dove shampoo and soaps and stuff as well as colouring books and crayons and dog toys.

I was just at Dollar General today. I was really just killing some time before an appointment. I got some of those green bags for veggies, and a little musical saxephone for my daughter's boyfriend's little girl. I usually stop in at the 99cent store once a week just to see what is new. While I am there, I will pick up tooth paste, shampoo, dish soap, and what ever else may catch my eye. Oh yeah, I have to pick up some kind of little toy to put in the toy box.*L*

Woah! Dollar General is not just in Texas?? Crazy. Anyways i've bought it all. Food, clothes, shoes, hats, books, movies, games, stationary, candy, school supplies, holiday decor, crafts, candles, bath products, and now frozen (since they finally added a frozen section)! I love the dollar stores! Especially Dollar Tree... my FAVORITE!

I shop at Dollarama, and the rule for me is pretty much everything is ok unless I put it in my mouth. There have been too many stories of counterfeit goods, and expired stuff ending up in dollar stores, I wouldn't risk it. There's really no clothes at the dollar stores here in Ontario, maybe a few socks, but that's about it.

I don't shop at Dollar General or Family Dollar much. I do a lot of shopping at Dollar Tree where everything is a dollar. I buy a good bit of my teaching supplies there as they've started stocking a bunch of teaching stuff. I have a lot of projects to do with children and I don't want to break the bank if I can help it. Sometimes I will buy some food products there but more often than not, it's usually bagged products or some canned goods. I also like checking out there craft products. Sometimes they have wooden unfinished boxes that we can turn into pretty craft projects. Sometimes they have other nice crafts too that we can turn into something nice if we look hard enough. We have bought cleaning supplies from the Dollar Tree a few times and they worked fine. We bought a shower spray that we would spray the shower down with every once we each had finished our shower and it kept it clean.

I like to buy craft supplies & some basic household stuff like baskets or whatnot...most recently I bought birthday party supplies for my daughter! I have never been a big fan of the cleaning products or foods that ours carry, but mostly I like to just go in and see what they have and if there's anything I need.

I used to work at the Dollar General. Mean Green. I think DG is the only place that sells it around here.

I just bought a a new food journal, Green Rubber Bracelette, and Some pain relief at the Dollar General store on Thursday! It cost me $1.50 for the journal has the pattern of a quilt on it, the pain relief was like $2.00, the bracelette was $1.00! I am calling my bracelette, my Reminder bracelette. To help me stay on track with my eating! I have bought calculators there. Some cleaning supplies. Make up. Some canned goods. there is a good selection really.

I think Dollar shops are very interesting concept.I visited one when I had gone to US some years back.I almost bought things worth 50$ as everything looked so cheap.I bought toys, small figurines etc.Some things also got broke while coming backHowever it was a good experience.
