We have a new Dollar General store, and yesterday was my first day inside. This is the best dollar store I have ever been too! They had loads of good stuff! I'm usually skeptical about buying foods, but their signs did say guaranteed fresh. So I got a bag of double bubble (my fav gum), and a bag of tootsie rolls. They were more fresh then what I get in the grocery store! The gum was so soft, usually it is not! Same with the tootsie rolls! And they had small packages of Hamburger Helper! I have always wished this, since I only cook for me and the bf, now there won't be waste from larger packages! They also had cans of crabmeat! Got 4 of those. I love crab. Plus those Bumble chicken salad with crackers pack. I also picked up koshoer dill spears, a dictionary, nice soft tie towel for the fridge, rubber cake stamp (for my card making, scrapbooking), a splatter screen, and Red Vines. I think that was it for me. The bf and I left with 3 full bags of usuable stuff for about $35!
LOL I love the Dollar General store, and the Family Dollar store, you really CAN find some great things in there, some even better than at the grocery store. Not everything is a dollar in there, but I still think it's a GREAT store.

I love Dollar Tree for deals. Everything in Dollar Tree is $1 or less. I've been stocking up on packing materials there thanks to some pointers on here. I also find their food "safe" and will probably be shopping for cleaning supplies there when I move.
Dollar general can be good too but it just bugs me that stuff there is more than $1!!
hmm...I didn't notice anything more than $1. They did have some name brand cleaner- Downy, but in Spanish! One thing I would not buy from a dollar store is toiletries, they don't smell good when they are cheap. Two things I saw was funny, ovulation test and pregnancy test! I wonder how accurate those would be...
