What a great store the Dollar Tree is!  Everything in the store costs $1.  Sure, you need to be careful, but there are some very good bargains.

Batteries are the best value.  Eight AA batteries for $1, as opposed to $8 at a pharmacy.  True, the Bunny batteries last much longer, but when the batteries are used to put in a computer mouse, why not pocket the savings?

Two days ago I bought a very healthy variety (no Yellow 31, or Purple 96 inside) of Wise corn chips for $1.  Not a mini-bag, but a bag the size that could easily fetch for $2.50 in your average grocery store.

My local Athens, GA Dollar Tree sells a tasty $1 block of spicy cheese that would sell for $3.95 elsewhere.

And the workers at these dollar stores have to be incredibly efficient -- stocking shelves, working the cash register at the same time.

I put these Dollar stores in the same category as ALDI, a great, no-frills grocery store that has fabulous food at very reasonable prices.

We do not have Aldi’s close but we have Save-A-Lot which is good. I shopped there yesterday because I cannot stand the high prices at my local Kroger store.

Love,love,love Dollar Tree.

Everything is actually one dollar or less.

Dollar General has all kinds of prices.

But it does contain cotton seed oil. Cotton is not a food crop. It is a textile. It should never have been approved for food consumption. It is not digestible.
