I go to dollar stores in and out fast”
We do, too, and sometimes more than once a week because they keep getting new stuff. Kind of aggravating though. They keep having new things and so I buy one to try out. When I go back later, they don’t have any more and may not get any more.
what I did find though are the best ever gingersnaps. $1.00 for a good sized bag and they are baked right in Abilene, Texas. Probably have enough in my Obama stash closet to feed the whole neighborhood for a year. And they have great frozen waffles - 9 for $1.00. Grandsons love them with some of the $1.00 a bottle maple syrup on top.
Just really hard to beat.
That isn’t maple syrup... :-)
Depending on where you live you can sometimes do better than that if you watch sales and combine coupons.
For instance this week Publix Supermarkets (Florida premier grocery store ) has
Mrs Buttersworth syrups 24oz bottles on sale BOGO 3.49 there 1.00 printable coupons on their facebook page 2 bottle for 3.49 - 2.00 (two 1.00 coupons) =2 bottle name brand syrup for 1.49
They also have Ocean Spray juice on sale 2 bottles for 3.15 there were 1.00 off coupons in the paper couple of sundays ago for this 2 bottles for 3.15 - 2.00(two 1.00 off coupons ) now you get two full size bottles of name brand juice for 1.15
I shop like this all the time and have a huge pantry full of stuff I pay little to nothing for
