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.

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.

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

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).
