If you’ve got a kid or grandkid that’s about to head back to school, or if you’re the type of person who likes to doodle and/or make lists, etc., you probably need at least one notebook lying around the house at all times. Lucky for you, the dollar store sells them in all shapes and sizes for just $1!
You’ll find spiral-bounds, mini, composition, and inspirational/PVC-covered journals.
Movie Candy
Anyone who’s lived near a dollar store during college is probably well aware of the boxed movie candy trick. After all, no one wants to pay $5 for a box of candy they can get for $1, right? So, why not hit the dollar store and stock up on all different kinds of treats before the show?
Just make sure you bring a big enough bag to sneak them in with you! And, even if you’re not going to the movies and you just have a sweet tooth, go easy on your wallet and head here before you go to the convenience store.
Birthday and Holiday Cards
There’s always some holiday or birthday right around the corner, and you could easily spend $5 or $6 for each greeting card from your average store.
Dollar Tree sells a pretty great collection of cards – even of the Hallmark variety! Next time there’s a special occasion coming up, you don’t need to break the bank to show them you care. Simply stop by and pick up a card for less than $1!
Dish Soap
You can get a 14-ounce bottle of Ajax or Palmolive, or an 8-ounce bottle of Dawn dish soap for just $1.
Of course, you can get the same deal on Ajax at some other stores, but if you’re already there and you need dish soap, why not?
Paper Clips
Office supplies should never break the bank either; after all, you’re likely using them for work, right? Whatever you need them for, you can find 80 packs of colored paper clips and 250 count packs of silver paper clips for, you guessed it, a dollar!
You really aren’t going to beat that price, and paper clips are definitely something that you can avoid splurging on.
