I'm po' so I shop at Dollar stores alot. I just went yesterday to Dollar General for all my son's school supplies. Got everything for under $20, now that's cool. Especially since I later went to Walmart to see that 1 backpack was $20 there. I buy different sorts of things everywhere I shop, but I love the everything for a dollar stores for birthday parties as they have mylar helium balloons for $1 or regular helium balloons 2 for $1. That's also where I go for small toys for car trips or weekend stuff. The thing I don't like about Family Dollar/ General is that some things are actually more expensive there like diapers... I can't stand to pay $7 for generic diapers when I can get them at Kroger for $5. Best wishes

Unortunaely, there is no Family Dollar of Dollar General where I live, but I do shop t the Dollar Tree and Everything's a Dollar stores. The ones where I used to live were mediocre but the ones here are actually very nive. I get my ponytail holders and hairpieces there (I get a lot more for a lot less than at Wal Mart even) I buy my brushes and combs there, wrapping paper, coloring books for the kids I babysit, stickers, novelty toys, summer water toys, candle holders, decorative towels for my kitchen. Sometimes they have closeouts from other stores so they will get name brand stuff- My nephew was very much into Finding Nemo , so last Christmas I got him a handful of Finding Nemo trinkets, (a wallet, a worbook, a towel and some other little things) to go with his big present.

Yes i shop at dollars stores, you can get some really good bargains there. Especially some of the stuff you pick up at hardward stores for half the price. Like paint brushes, rollers, drop clothes etc. Another item is cards, if you into sending post cards you can always get them for good prices there, also christmas decorations etc.
Its a good place to check out before you go to the major departments stores/hardware stores etc.

My mom and I shop there alot.. I guess we basically go there because they have things that you can actually use and at an extremely cheap price.
Like we go to the 99 cent store.. and they have brand name Ozarka water bottles.. And alot of other brand name products. Like I got purse that is usually found at Target for 12 dollars for a dollar there... they have good stuff for cheap prices =D

Yep, I do. I mostly buy my doggie toys there, some plastics you can't seem to find anywhere else. I have purchased reading glasses and bowls, even stationary and word searches. I like it because I like to see what I can get for a measly dollar these days and sometimes you can get really great deals there on stuff you would pay triple the price for anywhere else. Oh, and at Christmas, dollar stores have great stocking stuffers. Thanks for asking!!!

i don't do family dollar or dollar general. i just don't like the atmosphere or cramped style of the stores in my area.
i go to the 99cent store and love it. i'll go get items such as carpet freshner, Ponds facial scrubs and ozarka water. and if i need small items real quick such as an extra bowl to store something such as keys or a plant...that's typicall the first place i look.
they have name brand items for a fraction of the cost. you just have to be a mindful shopper. plus i love getting their plants.

Here we have "Dollar Tree" its a huge place.
Their makeup and food sucks, I wouldnt buy any of that but I go in for random small items. I go there for cleaning products and party stuff & holiday decorations.

The dollar store can be handy sometimes. I usually go in when I have a few bucks burning a hole in my pocket.
