Default Damn you dollar store!!!

I can't seem to walk by a dollar store without going in & getting something. Dollar Tree, Everything's $1, whatever. (I'm not a huge fan of Family Dollar or Dollar General, where things are cheap, but more than $1.)

Today I stopped in on my way back to work from Payless (BOGO, baby ) and bought 2 father's day cards & 2 birthday cards (2 for $1). Then I HAD TO HAVE 4 blue rasberry Blow-pops when I saw them at the register @ 4/$1. I was able to pass up the Tiki god figurine, so I'm pretty proud of myself.

I used to HATE the dollar stores when I was little. My grandma was a big ole dollar store whore, and I used to hate going with her...

But now, I love them too Sometimes you find stuff, sometimes you don't...but I actually haven't been in one in about a year! There aren't any near places I frequent anymore.

And that's a good thing. Remember what happened to the poor Bradys in Hawaii...

I love dollar stores. But we have something even better here: 99-cent stores! Every penny counts, after all.

I KNOW! I could have ended up with a tarantula crawling on me. Or worse, I could've been swallowed up by a big wave, what with all the surfing I do.

Dollar General has their version of Butterfinger, 4/$1. I'm not even a candy whore, but I always buy eight when I'm there.


FWIW, I only eat about one a week....

I would assume the produts they sell there would be similar to the dollar stores here.

do you ever notice when you are younger, you are so embarrassed at anything "cheap"?? you DIE when your mom takes you to the dollar store, or to get clothes from wal-mart.... it's all about how much you paid and you brag about it.."I spent $75 on these pants" (btw..>I have NEVER spent $75 on a pair of pants *L* I'm all about the sales)

but when you get older-you brag about how cheap you got something..>"I got these damn pants for $2.50!!!! " *L* interesting.....

I got a pair of pants from wal-mart awhile back and everyone at work went and bought the same pair. I'm such a fashion starter *L*
