Frugal Shopping: Dollar Tree 8/12

My second stop today was by work, where I needed to pick up some Tupperware like containers as well as check my schedule and a co workers schedule. Since I actually had time to browse what we had in stock, I picked up a couple of things, a cup I have been eyeing since they came in, and some other random stuff, sixteen items in total. So I stayed under my twenty dollar limit I had set for myself. Always a plus. Here's what I picked up: -Chef Gusto 6 ct mini bagel pizzas -Mr Bread 2 pack Mozzarella stuffed breadsticks -Jennifer's Garden 10 pack spring rolls -Snapps Loaded Potato Sticks 8 pack -Snapps Pepper Bites 8 pack -Sunshine Food Factory Tater Tots 14 oz -Sure Fresh 4 pack 14.5 oz square reusable/ microwave containers -Wish Bone Ranch Dressing -M&Ms Peanut butter Fun Size 6 pack -Resuable 33 oz Tumbler with lid, straw and stack container -Garlic Salt -Party 24 pack clear disposable forks - Pampa Brown Rice 32 ounce -Imperial 9oz Tub butter -Kendale Farms Cream of Chicken soup -Greenbrier Kennel Club Peanut Butter Dog Treats So I didn't do too bad. I alternate between regular bones and dog treats with Harley and we were out of her treats, so this box will last her for a couple weeks. I will probably get her one of her Chew Lotta bones from Walmart this week, because the ones shes had for about a month are on their last legs. I need to make a list for Thursday, of what I need to get after I get paid, but I should be able to do the next two weeks of grocery shopping for about fifty bucks. I did stop at Walmart before DT, but only spent $5.30, and hit up Winn Dixie afterwards, and got a few bogo things, but I will save those for another post. What has been the best deal you've gotten recently?

Wow you got lots of stuff for your money..things are much more expensive here. Yesterday I got a few full watermelons for .97 each and a few T-bone steaks for a third of the regular price.

@Happy2BeMe I wonder if it's the same company. Lol. I think there are dollar tree stores or stores by the same company in parts of Canada.. I just looked it up and nope it's a Canada based company.

Very nice. I love shopping at dollar tree so much stuff you can get except ours doesn't have a freezer/coller section. The only one that does is dollar general which I shop there also.

I refuse to shop at Dollar general. Their staff are all extremely rude and they have raised their prices way to high. You don't have a family dollar?

Here, in India, it is very difficult and hard to find anything helpful stuffs within 20 bucks except a packet half filled with chips and air, some snacks and chocolates

@thislittlepennyearns Yes, it is India. But in my state, this franchise has not come up. Moreover they would charge 100 bucks and not 1 buck. Haha!

That seems unlikely. You don't use dollars there anyway.

Seems like some pretty good deals. I was just happy to gain two quarters from carts at Ruler yesterday.

What is that? I am always on the look out for deals. Sometimes I'll go into Walmart just to scan products for the shop kick app

@thislittlepennyearns It's a grocery store similar to an Aldi.
