We have a dollar store here called "Real Deals". Everything inside is $1 or less. Last time I went I got the 6pks of Minute Maid OJ for $1 and 12ct boxes of Old El Paso taco shells 6/$1. Before that it was all the yarn I posted about.
We went again today. They had more of the Minute Maid juice (all 100% juice) but this time they had OJ and Mixed Berry. I got 2 cases (eight 6pks) for $1 per 6pk. They also had Jet Puffed mini marshmallows (the regular sized bags) for 6/$1!! I got those too
In the kitchen aisle, they had cloth napkins 4 to a pkg for $1, I bought two pkgs ....I looked at the tag, they were originally $9.99 at Linens & Things! They also had little kids socks from The Children's Place for $1 (regularly priced $7.99/pair!). They were too little for my kids.
In the office supplies they had Target brand markers & colored pencils for $1/pk. I got a 24ct pack of colored pencils and a 10ct pkg of markers for $1 each!!! They also had three-ring binders for $1 each. The hard kind, not the floppy ones. I got 4 of those. It never fails the schools require my older two to have 3-5 different binders.
Then dd found a Pokemon toy...it's 4 Pokemon dog tags (think military). The sticker on the front said "Sears Exclusive" That cracked us up. I can only imagine what Sears charged!
And dh wonders why I like to go there once a week or so

Wow! You did great! We have a store here called "Dollar Daze" and they have new items every Thursday. We try to go once a week during our lunch hour. You never know what you are going to find.
