What are your favorite things to buy at the Dollar Store?

We do not have Dollar Stores, it would be wonderful to be able to buy medications in the grocery stores like you do in the United States. Here even the simple aspirin has to be sold by Pharmacists and the products cost ten time more than in the United States.

Wish we had one of them here. I would love it. I did visit one in the US and it was fantastic.

I assume that the Dollar Store equates to the Pound shops that we have in England. I do visit such stores on a frequent basis, but tend to buy at random.

The only thing I've been buying lately has been snack-size plastic bags for when we package up snacks for the kindergartner's class. We have to send something once a month, so a box lasts two months. I have an assortment of wire baskets that I use in the fridge and pantry, and the little puzzles and coloring books they have are great for stocking stuffers around this time of year. Occasionally we'll get packages of glow sticks for the kids to play with. I was getting toothbrushes there for a while, too, since my daughter was obsessed with some of the Hello Kitty designs they had. Oh, and on @sharon6345's advice, I ended up buying a bottle of the Awesome cleaner they had. It's every bit as great as she said it would be.

Pretty much everything I buy is from there @TheHorse . My food, the critters food and all household supplies. When I walk in the store, the staff calls me by my first name. If I were to guess, I probably 'own' half of the store by now. Today when I went in, I gave them a Xmas card.

marbles, i buy a bag every other week. i shoot them out of my slingshot.

oh i love the dollar store and 99 cents store even more. used to shop them all the time when i got out a lot.

We have shops similar to Dollar Store in your country. I tend to get hand wash, laundry detergent, and other cleaning supplies. I seldom buy food or drinks.

is it okay to buy reading glasses off the shelf?

I buy gift wrapping, chocolate bars, some plastic bags, notebooks. Quite a few other things.

Usually I go for cards and gift bags. Of course I stock up on my cleaning supplies once a month

We don't one of these close by so it's like a kid in a candy shop when I go in. We more or less kitted out the motor-home from one of these types of stores in Ireland.

I get candles, I like to stay stocked up in case of power outages. It's also good for cleaning products, kitchen gadgets and craft supplies.

I am very frugal. I wish we have dollar store here

Ah Horse you thunder stealer. I was going to write about dollar stores too. lol. Anyway - I too like the cleaners and dish soap, dont' forget the bleach. Greeting cards, and even cell phone charging cables and car plug ins -
