I buy lots of stuff at Dollar Tree. If you get there early Tuesday you can even get large loaves of whole grain bread. One of ours has frozen foods - 6 waffles for $1. Noticed they are carrying more things that are labeled Made in the USA. Did check out on-line to make sure they were telling the truth. Their greeting cards are great and eliminate the expensive ones from Hallmark.
Yes, packages are somewhat smaller but at a dollar per item, allows me to have a little more variety yet stay within my grocery budget. Can’t do that at a regular grocery store.
Toothpaste is $1 at the Dollar Tree stores. I recently came across two coupons for Crest, each $1 off a certain size which was in stock, and got both for free. Money saved.
Greeting cards have become stupidly expensive.
I bought mine at the dollar store for a while. But I get a catalog that sells them even cheaper. If you don’t have a bunch of people that know each other and can buy a package..it’s a great savings for birthday, sympathy, thinking of you, etc. cards.
