$ $ $  

I like the dollar store for some things, not so much for others. I like getting candle holders there, and glasses, and cleaning supplies. I don't like the candles there because they are not as fragrant. That is one thing I think is worth spending a little more money on. A jar candle from Yankee can be burned for about 100 hours or more and has a fragrance that you can smell through most of the house, so to me it's worth $15. I do get the taper candles at the dollar store though, since those are for light more than fragrance.

I don't go to the dollar store too often anymore, since there is not one near me, but once in a while I check out what they have.

I like to frequent the Dollar Tree, because everything is a dollar. Usually there isn't anything in particular I go there for. But the times that I do go in there for a certain item, I end up getting and spending way more than I went in there for in the first place.

Tip: Keep candles in the freezer until ready to burn and they burn slower. At least that is what I have been told.

I go at least once a week. I buy my napkins there because I love having red ones to match my kitchen! LOL...also pick up stuff for my little granddaughter...like color books etc. and scrapbooking supplies! They have a good variety of them. I love dollar stores! LOL

At least once every couple of weeks, its my sons favorite store! we always buy him one or two things when we go there and I pick up candles and or writing pads when I need them. I even found a comfy beanie and scarf to match for my son and me hahah! Dollar shops are fun to shop at!

i also like to shop at the dollar stores... they really have a good and cheap stuffs and i really can save a lot when i shop there... i don't visit it often though since there is no one that is really near my house... anyway, whenever i can, i will try my best to shop there and save my money... :-)

There is a dollar store here in town and one by my bank. I visit both equally but not very often. Only when I think of it do I go to them for odds/ends.

Yes we have a lot of dollar stores around here too. We have Family Dollar(quite a few of them actually) Dollar General(quite a few of them too) and we also have one called The Dollar Tree and this one truly has everything for a dollar. The other ones don't have everything for a dollar but they are still just as good. I buy my crossword puzzle books there and sometimes my cleaning and toiletry products there but I have also found that at our Wal-Mart some of these products are actually cheaper than at the dollar store. For instance, at the Dollar store (any one of them) Toothpaste is between $1.00 and $3.00 but at our Wal-Mart they have it there for 88 to 94 cents. Same with Shampoo and Conditioner and razors. Feminine products are even cheaper at Wal-Mart! Now I don't buy my soap at the dollar store because I have to use a special soap called, Cetyphil because I have an allergy to some fragrances and I break out if I use regular soap. Wal-Mart is the only place I can get that soap and even though it is $3.00 a bar I have no choice but to buy it. So yeah I do shop there when I need to but I buy most of my stuff at Wal-Mart. :)

We go to the Dollar Tree every once in awhile if we are out to eat or shopping and there is one nearby. I like to get my younger kids puzzles from there because they are over $2 cheaper for the exact same puzzles elsewhere.
I also like to go after Christmas when the wrapping paper is all marked down to 50 cents a roll! I stock up for the next year.

Oh yes I sure do! I buy cat food from there of 9-lives which comes in three flavors but Walmart only carries one or two of the flavors so I go to Dollar General to get the one flavor that Walmart doesn't carry. Plus I'll get charmin basic toilet paper for it's much cheaper there, maybe even a rug or some sheets, and I get some kids toys when our God kids are up during the summer. Frugal living? Heck yeah! lol

I always go to the dollar store probably twice a week never really knowing what I'm getting though. I just walk out with bags of stuff, usually it's Packing Supplies and bubble mailers for my soap, ribbon, that type of thing. No No I just can't stop there though- candle holders, tealights, I make my own tarts and candles so I never get those there, books for my kids, the list goes on and on. Only thing is my favorite huge Dollar General in my area just closed! :( Darn!
