38 Things You Can Find at a Dollar Store
I admit it. I shop at the dollar store. Certain things, like coffee filters, can be found at a lower price and the quality is just as good. As a matter of fact, I get a higher count in my package of dollar store coffee filters than I do at the supermarket where I pay up to $2 more. I also like buying gift bags there. Again I pay a dollar or two cheaper than at the supermarket, for the same quality.
Some things are obviously poor quality, you’ll have to use your best judgement, of course. When it comes to things like little baskets, foil baking pans and birthday party goody bag items, you really can’t go wrong. Behold 38 things you can find at a dollar store.

I love the dollar store! Ours is a really good cheap source for small vases — fill them with flowers cut from the garden and they’re a great hostess gift — and those glass weights for the base of large vases.

My dollar store has frames. Some suck; some just need a touch of paint and they’re good to go — it’s way cheaper than Michaels or even sometimes garage sales. Plus since they are so cheap it’s a nice way to show off Cedar’s art without going bust — these kids of ours can draw…and draw…

Our dollar store sells pregnancy tests, and from what I hear, they are just as good as the drugstore brands. Can’t hurt to try anyway!
