well not to nitpic..but you can't buy dollar tree stuff for a dollar..you need the tax as well (which will vary from state to state)

You can buy an apple for a buck.....instead of the candy bar

I can still get twelve or fourteen ounces of beans or lentils for a dollar. Add that to a few things from the garden and I have quite a few meals for just $1. Well, I guess I would have to spend something for the fuel to cook them. And a tiny amount for the water.
