@ the $ Tree you can buy 1 &1/2 # bag of frozen french fries (in their freezer case) for, of course, $1. Aldi's price is $1.69 for a 2# bag. So... you're getting 3#'s of $tree for 2$--compared to Aldi's 2#bag...that's an extra 1# for 31c. And they're good & will buy them again. 1serv=110cal, 2.5gmfat, 1gmfiber

I can get 5-pounds of potatoes for $1.99 and make my own oven-fries for even less than the Dollar Tree.

Or you can make your own Frozen French Fries...

It's generally less expensive to make your OWN convenience foods.

I've been making HM FF for as long as I can remember. But a 1&1/2# bag of frozen FF, costing 1 buck, to use in a pinch, won't break the bank. I would think there is folks out there that would like to know the comparison. Thanks for the websites.

dollar store veggies

I have been buying $ tree veggies for some time now, and have saved a bundle.Our $ Tree carries cascade farms organic shredded potatoes, as well as fries and wedges. I also get 16 oz bags of spinach, whole green beans, 3 pepper and onion mix, corn, peas and carrots, and many more. These items are all 2-3 dollars more next door at the A&P. So on shopping day I hit $ Tree first, then finish at A&P, if you have a dollar store that carries cold and freezer items you might want to stop by for a look, you might be very surprised at what you find there.

Today from the $ Tree, I bought 2#bags of hash browns. I also bought broccoli, cauliflower/broccoli mix in 1# bags. They also have strawberries, blueberries, peaches. The oz's-I didn't check. The clerk said they have customers who will buy $100, at a time, of frozen food.

I am so jealous, my dollar tree does not have cold or frozen section.

I have a frozen section in my $ Tree and usually check to see what they have.

Have tried some of it and didn't like it though so I am very careful.

We were addicted to french fries in this household until a heart attack forced us to change a few things. We now just clean and slice a whole potato and toss it in the oven. You might be pleasently surprised when you can taste the real thing! We love our plain home made fries.

I bought 2 1lb 4oz bags of shoestring fries from Save A Lot yesterday for .50 each. I buy them instead of having fast food on our busy days or weekends.
