@blueskys I bought the ornaments on the left last year and they are beautiful! I am afraid to go there for the upcoming holiday seasons as I don't need a thing but I always manage to walk out of there with a bag full of fun . . .

@blueskys I just noticed this is listed in the Sports forum and maybe would be better suited to either the Holiday or Home sections? I think a lot of those folks would love to see your photos so perhaps the moderators could re-direct this thread so more folks could enjoy and share . . .

I was just in there yesterday grabbing those wonderful large bars of luxury soaps! They sell at the soap company's website for $5 or more a bar and they are cruelty free, if that matters to you. I saw the Christmas decorations being unloaded, and look out Ms Parr-Hill. At my Dollar Tree, they are loaded with a lot of things veeerrry similar to what she sells. All of that stuff breaks down after a while. I don't care if you paid 50 cents or 50 bucks. So going back the weekend. Thanks for sharing your purchases, mtc!!

Call me slow, but I didn't know that there is a 'Holiday' category on the Forums list. I just 'took a peek', and will go back to read/view the posts there! Thank you

My friend and I are going to the dollar store later today. We're going to go for a walk in the park and then get soup and salads and see what the dollar store has. I want to make favors for our Thanksgiving guests. What....depends on what I find in the dollar store today.

@bmorechick

People were asking about your soaps, but no one paged you, so here's hoping that you see the shout out and answer their question.

We have a Dollar Tree and a Dollar General Store within walking distance. The Dollar Tree is the one where all the "goodies" are. Dollar General is a ripoff IMO.

I like to buy Reynolds Single sheet pop-up sheets. I buy about 5 boxes at a time. Also, parchment paper. Cleaning items are good too, but you have to know what to buy. There are some things that are useless IMO.

I buy my lip glosses there too. Also, micro-fiber dusting items. I go to Dollar Tree before I go to Publix because there are some things that Publix doesn't have OR they do and they are much more $$$$$.....

I love Dollar Tree for little ornaments like those!!

I also love their gift bags, ribbon and greeting cards. They are nice, and you can't beat the price.

I buy facial tissue there too. I'm just going to blow my nose in it and throw it away, so I don't want to spend a lot of money on it. I also buy wax paper, foil and cling wrap from there.

I found these nice little glass cutting boards there. I often cut just enough of something for the meal I'm making for myself, so a little cutting board is fine, and easy to store. They are sanitary, and I have four of them because it takes me awhile to fill up my dishwasher, so I'd be washing them between loads if I didn't have 4. At $1 each, it's no big deal to purchase 4.

I also have several microfiber cloths from there. I run a special load of those in the washer, so--once again--it's good to have several.

Their little storage baskets are nice too. I have some to organize the island in my kitchen, which I use as a pantry. Also some in my freezer. And I use them in desk drawers too.

I really love Dollar Tree for a lot of things.

@sophiamarie I have both in my area and I completely agree I love Dollar Tree!

I buy greeting cards, gift bags, tissue, and ribbon. Used to spend more else ware but it all ends up in the trash.

ROMARY — Sun, 30 Oct 2016 23:55:54 GMT

Yes, their greeting cards are nice, for the price. Also, Holiday and Christmas cards, too. I place them on neighbors' doorsteps, all around the neighborhood. Well, the neighbors that I know or regurlarly chat with and/or wave to (as I walk by).
