Do U Shop at Dollar Stores?  

Sometimes but rarely. I know most of it is junk and I have enough stuff. So only what I need. I mostly go to safeway or Fred Meyers or Walmart for my needs. Here in alaska we have $1.49 Stores. Up in Anchorage, Ak they have more stuff in their stores then they have here in Juneau, AK.

I love the dollar stores!! I frequently shop thier for my cleaning supplies, such as air freshener, bathroom and kitchen cleaners, windex, degreasers, sponges. I also by many of my paper products thier as well, including toilet paper, paper towels, and writting paper.

I am just curious though.....what is a Fred's?? I live in Ohio and I have never heard of this store..

I shop at the dollar stores all the time. I go in for one or two things and get a cart full. I actually end up going to the dollar general store at least once a day. I buy just about everything there including my diet Pepsi and snack food. I also have started buying my cats food there because you can get 5 cans of 9-lives for just $2.00 there. I only go to Family dollar once every couple of weeks even though it is across from the Dollar General because it doesn't have a friendly atmosphere. I have never been to Dollar Tree though because they aren't any of them locally where I live.

Wow! That's nice. We dont have dollar stores here. Well, apart from the fact that we use a different currency In converting dollar to the local currency, we dont really have dollar stores. A little over a dollar maybe, but they only sell RTW shirts, pants, and accessories. I dont buy there because the shirts are too thin for me and too small.LOL At least we can get the products that you've mentioned at prices waay less than a dollar here. That's a consolation

I sure do!! I found a cat toy that my cats LOVE!! And it's right sturdy and I got it for a dollar!! After testing my cats with it and seeing how they loved it, I bought a couple more for them and a couple for my mom and her cats and they love it too!! So heck yeah! I shop at the dollar store! Their cards are nice too!!

We have all those dollar stores here, too. I LOVE THEM!

My usual shopping strategy is to hit the dollar stores first. Sometimes they have overstock items that aren't a normal thing they carry. You just never know what you'll find there. I buy whatever I need that they carry, then head on over to WalMart. I swore I'd never go to WalMart again after my prescription fiasco, but they're still the only place around where you can get just about anything you need. (I do get my prescriptions at CVS now, because it's the next closest pharmacy after WalMart, but do other shopping at WalMart.)

If I can't get it at WalMart, I'll go to specialty shops for whatever I might need.

I'm like a little kid when I go into those dollar stores. I can see that you and I would have a blast out shopping together! We've just GOT to plan on meeting one of these days!

OMG! I thought i was the only one left that shopped at Fred's! Of course I shop at Dollars Stores! There some things that they don't sell anymore at other stores that I can find at a Dollar Store.

dollar stores are terrible. I used to work for one, and one time i bought a vegetable peeler. Guess what? I broke the moment I was adding 2 lb of pressure. I recommend products that are not made from china.

I do not go there, a two bus ride stops me from going.
lol
my solution is to wait for the stores close to me to have a sale and stock up, and my other closest one to me is walmart.
I used to go there all the time before.
I have a dollar tree, but it is a long walk.

We do not have very many true dollar stores out here. Especially, ones that have quality items. We had a good 99 cent store, but they went up a penny. They have not changed the name, but I believe it is safe to say that now we have a pretty good dollar store also.
