I’ve bought loads of stuff at the dollar store. There’s the dollar store where everything is a dollar and then there is the “dollar store” which is kind of like a dollar store, but not everything is a dollar. It’s always great amusement to go in there and see what all kinds of random stuff they have. I almost always find something I need or can use for much cheaper than Target.
I’ve bought toiletries, cat food, cat litter, toilet paper, food, stocking stuffers, candy (Pop Rocks!), office supplies, stationery, kitchenware, off-brand ziplocs, tupperware… you get the picture.
I think my favorite thing that I ever found was this compact paper cutter for a dollar, with a replacement blade included. I really could have used it a few years prior to my finding it in the store, when I was making a lot of CD covers and having to trim down paper and photos a lot. Anyway, I saw the paper cutter and snagged it because I definitely know I’ll get good use out of it.
