also, some of their gift bags have really nice prints on them and can be cut out and popped into a frame (from the dollar store also, of course!). $2 for home decor[/quote]
I am a Dollar Store Devotee too! My big item there is "puppy pads". My cocker spaniel is going blind and taking her out at night is rapidly becoming a big deal (for her). She spooks at everything, so I decided I'd give paper-training a shot. The results are 99% accurate (lol), and the pads are $4 for 16. The Hatrz brand are 8.99 for 24 and are treated with soda, but I can get more, and change them out more often.
I get all paper products, toiletries (I love the vanilla scented Secret deoderant...so sue me), and I pick up candles there once a month for a treat.
The best buy I ever got there are small red, green and silver kerosene lanterns that they sell there for $1. They are intended for summer yard/deck ornaments, but during last winter's ice storm we were without power for 7 days and those little lanterns, one in every room, kept me from bumping into everything or holding a candle and I could read at night. Priceless!
I'm new here. Nice to meet such friendly folks.
