Default Dollar Store "Junk"

I have heard many people say that the only kind of stuff you can find at dollar stores (Dollar General, Family Dollar etc.) is junk made in foreign countries. I guess because things are usually cheaper in those types of stores people automatically think that it's nothing but junk. Thats just not true though.

You can purchase tons of American made, name brand stuff at most of those kinds of stores. I am a lover of all dollar stores and I find lots of deals all the time on great stuff made right here in the U.S.

I don't see the good sense in buying those same exact things in other stores where they cost more. It's the SAME thing! Same item, same brand- everything same!

I do think more people are beginning to realize this especially with the economy being crazy and the lost jobs. People who once were against shopping in dollar stores have finally begun to see the light!

I am a proud, thrifty dollar store shopper!

I also enjoy shopping at Dollar stores. Their items "are" the same as at any other store but the prices are, as you said, much cheaper.

I buy most of my cleaning products at Dollar General and most are name brand products but at a reduced price which is ideal for my needs.

I also buy some of my clothing there, like pajamas, just simply because I like the ones they sell there better than most I have seen.

So yes, Dollar Stores are great for saving money.

Me too,I mean what is the difference with some kinds of stuff that they sell compared to wal mart?

There is non,notebooks,pencils,crayons,candies,shampoo,soap ,and lots more items that are sold there are the very same thing that you can get at your local wal mart store.The only difference is that the one at the dollar store is only one dollar at the most and can be up to three bucks at wal mart.

Why would you spend more money at wal mart when it is so easy to slip in to a dollar store and save right much money.I save about thirty buck there when it is time to shop for school,no joke and the kids don't know any different.
