Wow- you did good so far this month. I always hesitate to go to Dollar Tree but I think I am seeing that it may be well worth it to just go and get certain household things there.
ReplyDeleteI have never been in there to shop before. I've looked around, but never bought groceries. I figure the house hold stuff can't be bad. I did find some pasta that was a lb and a half for only a dollar. My rock bottom price was 0.79 a lb at Sharp Shopper. The dollar store purchase makes it 50 cents a lb. I was shocked and couldn't believe the selections when I took the time to look and see what was available. They even took the coupon I had for crest tooth paste. The tooth paste was 1.00. I bought two, and had a 1.00 coupon off two purchases. It made both tubes only 50 cents. Worth it to shop there once a month for my family. We are not brand loyal, which is important.
DeleteYeah, I usually get my pasta at Sharp Shopper too- that is usually the lowest I can get it. But now you've got me re-thinking some things. We are not brand loyal either. The toothpaste is a really good deal. I think the reason why I have never really shopped there for household stuff is because I got aluminum foil there one time and when I took it home I realized there was only 25 sq ft on the roll- it went way too quickly and when I did a price comparison it was not worth it at all to get it there. That was a turn-off but I am thinking that maybe I should have given some other items a chance. I know their cleaning products are worth it.

ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a good shopping trip. Forgot to mention that Dollar Tree is also the go to place for office supplies, some school supplies (quality issues so you have to look at what you are thinking of buying),greeting cards, batteries, gift wrapping supplies, foil trays (I use these for freezer meals, for church donations to bake sales, for sending a meal over to someone-don't have to worry about getting it back), shampoo/conditioner, ketchup, mustard, dressings, spices, random groceries like jello, box potato mixes, baked beans, soups, aeseptic boxed milk and boxed 1/2 & 1/2. you just never know what you'll find. cleaning stuff alone-a real money saver.
