My grandchildren like to go in the Dollar Store because they feel like they are getting a lot of 'stuff'. I give them each a limit of 5 items x 2 children. I get away with a $10 bill - fun for all.

Last week I bought many beautiful silk flowers at the Dollar Tree to use  for decorating the graves for Easter. They had a good variety and I was able to buy all I needed at a very reasonable price.

I usually hit them about once a week just like the grocery store.   Get all my cleaning products and BC Headache powders ect.... there.  I have bought candy, chips, and spices, as well as canned goods.  Never had a problem on any food item just check expiration dates.  I have found items there not found at reg. grocery stores.  I have never purchased any of their freezer/fridge items. 

I do not buy the $1.00 paper towels since that is an absolute waste.

I sitll have memories of them being sold by Dolly Pardon while on the Porter Wagoner show back in the 60's.  I was a little girl.

Obviously, I'm getting an education here .... what is an aspirin mask and what is it for?    The BC brand must be a regional brand, not sold on the west coast.  I'm sure I would have noticed them if they were sold  here.

Is this something new?  I've never of it before either!

[Ladybug724]

I like to go to Dollar-type stores for seasonal items.  You can find the cutest holiday decorations there!  As far as food, I do purchase seasonal candy from there such as Easter, Christmas, Valentine's Day.  The candy is always really good!  And the movie-theater type candy is a bargain and it's the same stuff that movie theaters sell.

Dollar Tree has a nice selection of silk flowers.  I make seasonal wreaths so get them there a lot of the time.  I also like their selection of greeting cards.  This time of year they have a selection of Easter and spring decor.  DH and I both wear readers and we get them for $1.00 a pair.  Unbelievable, especially since they last.

Powder is an over-the-counter analgesic pain reliever owned by Prestige Brands and manufactured in Memphis, TN. It was conceived at the Five Points Drug Company in Durham, North Carolina, in 1906, by Germain Bernard and C. T. Council, who took the initials of their last names to create the name of the nascent product

1906 probably would be a presecribtion if created today.
