| RE: Switch To Dollar Stores For Shopping |
Yep, dollar stores are indeed awesome places for a bargain, as are stores like Aldi's and Save-A-Lot. I hit these stores first for the basics for both personal care and grocery items, then I head over to the big grocery chain store for whatever is left over on my list that the cheaper stores don't carry. I save a BUNDLE that way!
Most of the food products at the cheaper stores are great-- comparable to the big chain brands. However, I bought a can of canned white chicken meat at the cheaper store and it was AWFUL! Lesson learned: try the item once before you stock up on it to be sure you like it. Sometimes you do get what you pay for, so buy with discretion.
A final piece of advice: don't go crazy! It's easy to go off the path of your shopping list, buying things you don't really need/want because "it's just a dollar." Those dollars add up! I know because I do this a lot. Y'know, go in to buy 3 items, come out with 6! LOL! Still and all, dollar stores can be a great blessing!! ... View related article. |

Thank you for those of you here who gave advice on repelling the cats, not just getting rid of the smell. I bought a long-range water gun for $2 and I can't wait to "shoot" them when they start yowling. Filthy things. Cute, but filthy. ... View related article. |

Besides Freecycle, what are some charties/organizations that will take your stuff, such as cellphones, clothing, appliances, furniture, etc. I know Habitat for Humanity will take gently used items in their stores and sell them. ... View related article. |

Those are great ideas, but what do I do with the small plastic containers I have? I guess I could put the food in them, then put them in one of those vaccuum bags or another plastic bag? ... View related article. |
