Raise Your Hand If You Like the DOLLAR STORE!!!  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. dancingmooney (892) 5 years ago

Lol, I was just posting in another discussion that shopping is something that makes me feel better sometimes when I am down. Of course, I try not to let myself abuse shopping as a way to make me feel better, but it's fun, and what girl doesnt like to shop?! Okay, I know there are a few of you out there, but i'm not one of them! Lol.

So that brought me to mention the dollar store because I am in the middle of building my jewelry business (check out my profile if you want to take a peek) so I don't have a regular job and my fiance and I are now living on one income instead of two... So a fun cheap place for me to shop is the dollar store!

I love searching through the scrapbooking section and looking at other art supplies they have, but I also like buying silly socks with funny designs on them, and I like stocking up on mix match coffee mugs, and such like that... I also use the dollar store as an awesome resource for party supplies whenever I need them, and candles and other little holiday decor items are great from the dollar store as well...

So tell me, if you like the dollar store, what's your favorite thing about it? What do you like to buy there?

:D

Now that I am in college and have no job, I can't splurge as much as I want to. I have been known to buy my raman noodles, cereal, and juice from the dollar store. I also buy all of my laundry supplies there as well (soap, bleach, dryer sheets) and Envelopes and bubble mailes, and printer paper mostly supplies and things that I actually use. There are some things that I would never buy at a dollar store though, like shoes those sandles hurt my feet so much!

I also have started going to thrift stores, they have really awesome movies, cds, and dvds there and I bought A SH*T load of beads for like 10 or 20 cents a strand i think.... yea

I LOOOVE BARGAIN SHOPPING ^_^

Do you ming id I steal your etsy banner idea? I never thought of putting that up on my page I just have a little link


myLot reputation of 93/100. dancingmooney (892)  5 years ago

What do you mean putting the etsy mini on your mylot profile? Go for it! Just don't put MY shop banner on your page please, lol... but i'm sure that's not what you meant though.
;)

And yep, I acutally buy supplies there too! You can get mailing labels, shipping envelopes and other fun little things... sometimes I buy thank you cards from there if they are little, and kinda go with my etsy style... I like the dollar store, they are a resource that I have used to save a lot of money.

I'm careful about food there though. I do buy food there but sometimes you can find those same products elsewhere for less than a dollar, and sometimes you can't just have to kind of weigh it out. And I try to only buy products/brands I recognize. I don't buy products i've never heard of before... I used to try things, but I found that they were usually kinda umm... less than tasteful... Lol. So now I just buy things that I know the brand. Lol.

And I don't blame ya on shoes and such. I don't have children, but they have really cute onsies, and other baby products there... blankets and socks, and cute little bibs and such for those who have little ones around.

Thrift shops are fun too!
:D

I love the dollar store I think there great you can really save a lot at those stores. I wounder though how do dollar stores make money when they buy the stuff they have when its more expensive at other stores and when they only charge $1.00 like I know some of the food at the dollar stores say $2.00 but they only charge $1.00 wouldnt they loose money if that happens.

I like that sort of store very much and would like to try it out without fail as you will end up with a good bargain and a value for money. It is a pity that in our city we have only one such shop and i will visit it at least once a month.

The dollar store rocks! Some of my favorite things to buy at the dollar store are gift bags and party supplies. I have also found a laundry stain spray there for 1 dollar a bottle that works better than any of the expensive brands taht I used to buy! I love to kick around in there for bargains. I try to stray away from many of their food products and some toiletries...as they are made in china..and lately that doesn't seem to be such a good thing!

I love the Dollar store!!!!!

It's the perfect place to go to a browse and find some the strangest things at times, like a bubble bath filled frog or smiley face stationary and it's all cheap! My kids love going there to spend their allowance, and let me tell ya I don't mind taking them. At least there I can eye ball things of my interest unlike when I take them a toy store.

I love all the Dollar Stores. Near me here in C00n Rapids Minnesota I have maybe 8 different ones withion a 10 mile radius. I get my puzzle books there. I also get my dog a toy from them ever so often. I get my grandkids little things from there. Mostly I buy my candles from there as I burn a lot of candles. Happy shopping to all.

I like to buy the funny socks. And I just like to look around. We'll pick up things like a juice jug if we need it, that sort of thing.

Lately I've been avoiding it, because it's so easy for things to add up. We have a kitchen corner superstore near us, it's sort of like a dollar store but a bit more, and they have all sorts of things that I want.

Dollar stores are great for finding stuff that you need, but knowing that they will be more expensive anywhere else you go. I bought a pack of different colored bracelets for under a dollar awhile back. Any other store would probably be charging at last five dollars.

A good dollar store is actually some. Some of them tend to be run down, not clean, etc. But even those are in the minority.
