Friday's tip!

So the dollar store... Some of the things you will find there are actually not super great deals when compared with store brand, regular size items at the grocery store. The mini size at the dollar store is ounce for ounce sometimes quite pricey in comparison. And quality is not always amazing.
But every now and then...
You can find SUPER FABULOUS deals at the dollar store! Take for instance my 'benadryl equivalent.' I got 36 doses for a dollar! That is not too shabby! And things like crackers, chips, cookies, wafers, soda, bagged candy, cleaning supplies, baskets and totes, have comparable quality at a much lower price than your grocery store.
To sum up, give your dollar store a visit. Have an idea in mind of what you'd like to compare price/size-wise. Stop at the grocery store and take down some prices/quantities/ounces, then visit the dollar store with list in hand and see what you can find. If they are items that you regularly restock, make the dollar store one of your regulars and see how much money you save in a month, in a year!
