This is what I am talking about. Why do you say it's awkward? Do you put that much store into what your friends think, that you feel the need to NOT buy certain gifts at the $1 store. So what if they know how much you paid for an item......if friends are...

What do you do? Is it now just like any other day or does this day have more of an effect on you now that she's gone? My mom passed away in 2003 and I still have bouts of sadness over her absence. It's especially hard on...

Sorry to hear about your grandpa shorva.....but the dinner you had with grandma sounded like a great idea. It's times and special occasions such as that dinner that everyone gets a chance to reminisce about the "good old days". Sadness is a given I believe,...

Thanks mssnow..........Sorry to hear about your loss at such a young age. Having children of my own does help some, but it also is a reminder of what I am missing. The holidays are the hardest, as my mom made such a big fiasco out of all of them. Mothers'...

Hi sweetee, Pride? You'd think that with the struggle most folks are having in this day and age to make ends meet that they wouldn't let their pride get in the way of saving money.

Hi gabesmom, I love this sight. Here in our area, people have even been able to find cars, vans, computers,etc....so it's not just small ticket items that folks need or give away. It's anything and everything. I know do it yourself mechanics who use it to...

Howdy sir_talk_alot :) Not all folks who lie about shopping at the dollar store are rich. I have some friends that are far from rich, that's why they shop there. Like it was mentioned in another comment, for some peeps, it's a self esteem issue. Maybe they...

Hi serena, I try to stay away from materialistic folks. A high price tag or big spending habits do NOT impress me. Pretty sad when a person feels that they have to spend large amounts of money on items to impress their friends. Friends , real friends, like...

I agree Wyayenjee, If I like it, I'm going to buy it. I'm not into brand names. I usually stay away from them just because they are so expensive. I don't go to the Salvation Army hardly ever any more. Inflation has about ruined the experience for me. They...

Hello tdbrower1969, Some folks won't even step into a dollar store, they have no idea what they are missing. I buy doggy toys for my dogs, beats paying up to $6 for the same thing at WalMart. Especially with my dogs...they rip those toys apart in no...

Hi emeraldisle, I go to the dollar store at least once every week. I may not buy something every time I go, but the turn around is so fast that you have to check regularly or miss out on some good deals. And you're right about no 2 stores having the exact...
