I used to be a Walmart regular. However, I am finding that Walmart has been steadily increasing their prices. Since I was hooked, I just shopped there anyway but soon discovered our local dollar stores. So, now the Dollar store is my first stop for anything. I go there because their inventory is constantly changing and I am sometimes surprised to see what comes in. And, it saves me the cost of driving out of town to Walmart which is a good 40 mile round trip so that would be about $6 for a tank of gas.
I tend to by pretty much a little of everything. Things like bandaids, generic medications, makeup, clothes, food, kitchen utensils, you name it.
For our 4th of July Picnic, I picked up assorted decorations at $1 a piece. They are plastic and will be tossed. And, I don't like to keep and store that kind of stuff anyway. So, I made a nice little party theme for a low cost. Happy 4th everyone!
