There are some GREAT questions on the board todayPrice of eggs, gas, etc.With us being Senior Citizens have you shopped at a Dollar Store to attempt to stretch your budget?I have! And I am not ashamed to admit itI buy all of my plastic products (trash, storage/sandwich type bags, etc), aluminum foil, shampoo/conditioner, some cleaning products (name brands like Ajax, etc), some canned food (always checking the quot;use by datequot;), however I am a little leary about buying other quot;foodquot; productsDo you have any good/bad experiences shopping at a $ store?Note I am always careful to check prices at my local grocery store or super store (Walmart, etc), because sometimes you can buy things there cheaper than at the discount $ store.
The Dollar Stores are the best places to shopIn my area, I shop at the Dollar Tree Dollar GeneralMy favorite store is Dollar GeneralI can buy brand name products there, especially cleaning suppliesI love the DG brand of window cleanerIt's not just for windows mirrorsIt's great for getting certain stains out tooI buy all my paper products there as well(brand names) I like to go to DG spend time, just looking aroundI like their greeting card selection as wellThey aren't Hallmark cards, but they're nice inexpensive alsoI have compared prices at WalMart DG is cheapest by far.
