Since I live in a few hundred thousand short of a city, I often find myself bored for excitment. Also, the needs of our family seem to be struggling with our economy. Whether its for fun or need, the supplies can be found at your local dollar store.
As I ventured through the particular store in my hometown, I was shocked to see how many items they had in stock that I would normally purchase at another store for quite a bit more money. Luckily whether you live in Oregon, Texas, California, Utah, or somewhere else, you cannot be without a dollar store. I want to share my finds to maybe help all of us save some extra bucks this summer.
My ten month old son and I were most surprised to find how much they had in store for him. I was so excited to see how many baby items they had. With all the little essentials a small person requires, I have saved quite a bit a money.
For example, I found sippy cups, small spoons, bowls, and bibs for his eating needs. They also had onesies, wash cloths, and socks. All these items can add up to a large expense, so for one dollar a piece, it's well worth it to come to the dollar store for them instead.
Besides my baby, my next favorite thing to do is cook. I can't quite tell if I find more enjoyment in cooking a great dish, or eating it. But either way, it's difficult to find enjoyment in cooking if you are lacking the appropriate tools. Cutting back so much in this economy, I have sadly found myself doing without quite a few essential cooking utensils at times.
Since food isn't all that's hard to come by, going to the dollar store for all these cooking devices helps master my feast. I bought a masher, spatula, whisk, brush for basting, a grater, and even a zester. I was also tempted by the variety of spoons for either straining, ladeling, serving, stirring, or just eating soup. They are stocked even with paring knives, steak knives, butcher knives, slicing knives or dicing knives. Just imagine how possible your culinary masterpiece can be.
I also found a stock supply of cling wrap, aluminum foil, casserole dishes, and bowls for storing your food. Then to set your perfect table there is cloth napkins, place mats, table cloths and even matching plates, bowls, and cups that aren't disposable. They come in sturdy material of plastic or glass and in a variety of colors and designs that would surprise you.
Also take a stroll down the cleaning aisle for rubber gloves, brushes and scrubbers to help keep your house tidy. Don't forget cleaning supplies from bathroom cleaner, to window cleaner, and even easy to use wipes for any surface. Whether your dusting, mopping, scrubbing or sanitizing, your supplied amply in the dollar store.
Please don't forget these items all come at one measly dollar each. In comparison with what they would cost even at the most discounted of department stores, you'll save so much money it will astound you. Don't overlook the frugality of shopping at your local dollar store. Just wait and see what treasures you will find there.
