      TONS of stuff. Here is my list just from Fri shopping:

      pkg of 7 sandwich rolls
      discounted salad kit
      1 lb cottage cheese (after coupon)
      1 lb pkg hot dogs
      1 lb pkg balogna
      2 pkg America cheese slices
      head of romaine
      5 plum tomatoes
      3 small avocados
      1 wine glass (matches several I have)
      bag of 100 cotton balls
      pkg 4 diamond nai files
      polish remover
      nail clipper
      60 count low dose aspirin

      All the non-food items were bought at a dollar store. I have 2 I pass regularly. Many of the food items were actually <$1.

            We received a 20 minute foot massage for $1 ... but we had to travel to Cambodia to get the deal!

                Enough organic steel cut oats from a grain bin to feed yourself healthy breakfasts for a week.

                      Go to yard sales, and you can get amazing items for $1 (just saying).

                      This summer I can't remember all the deals I got for $1 or less. The past 2 weekends I have gotten 5 books for $1 total (listed one on half.com for $50 - new its $125), got 35 new canning lids for $0.50 (probably $6 new), 2 workout t-shirts for $0.25 each (nice quality), half bottle of 100 load Tide detergent for $1, some classic Pyrex dishes ($1 each), Fireplace Quickstarts for my girlfriend's fireplace (1/2 box for $1, usually go for about $40 for the box), and honestly I forget what else. I get sticker shock when I go to a WalMart .
                      Don't torture yourself, thats what I'm here for.

                          The dollar store I go to sells marajuana test kits, pregnancy tests, and hair dye. You can put those on a list of things you can get for a dollar, but probably shouldn't.
