I often find myself, living in a little less than a metropolis, and bored for something to do. Also, the struggling economy keeps me, along with everyone else, looking around for the best deal for the daily needs for a family. So, let's go to the local dollar store to find what they can supply us with for fun or need.
Desperate to budget our money, I strolled through the dollar store with surprise at how many items I had been purchasing elsewhere for much more money. I don't care if you live in Texas, Oregon, Utah, or California just a few miles away you will find a dollar store. The finds I found can also be interesting for anyone trying to save extra money.
The most useful find, for me and my ten month old son, was the wide selection of baby items. I was quite thrilled to see their massive supply of needful items for my little boy. Since it is ironic that the smallest member of our family seems to need the most little things, this discovery has been quite thrifty for us.
For example, all babies must eat and here you can purchase your sippy cups, small spoons, bowls, and bibs. To keep them dressed you can buy socks, wash cloths, and even onesies! Any parent will tell you that these products add up very quickly to a large expense, so buying them at merely a dollar a piece is incredible.
Besides my baby, my next favorite thing to do is cook. I can't quite tell if I find more enjoyment in cooking a great dish, or eating it. But either way, it's difficult to find enjoyment in cooking if you are lacking the appropriate tools. Cutting back so much in this economy, I have sadly found myself doing without quite a few essential cooking utensils at times.
Since food isn't all that's hard to come by, going to the dollar store for all these cooking devices helps master my feast. I bought a masher, spatula, whisk, brush for basting, a grater, and even a zester. I was also tempted by the variety of spoons for either straining, ladeling, serving, stirring, or just eating soup. They are stocked even with paring knives, steak knives, butcher knives, slicing knives or dicing knives. Just imagine how possible your culinary masterpiece can be.
I also found a stock supply of cling wrap, aluminum foil, casserole dishes, and bowls for storing your food. Then to set your perfect table there is cloth napkins, place mats, table cloths and even matching plates, bowls, and cups that aren't disposable. They come in sturdy material of plastic or glass and in a variety of colors and designs that would surprise you.
Also take a stroll down the cleaning aisle for rubber gloves, brushes and scrubbers to help keep your house tidy. Don't forget cleaning supplies from bathroom cleaner, to window cleaner, and even easy to use wipes for any surface. Whether your dusting, mopping, scrubbing or sanitizing, your supplied amply in the dollar store.
Please don't forget these items all come at one measly dollar each. In comparison with what they would cost even at the most discounted of department stores, you'll save so much money it will astound you. Don't overlook the frugality of shopping at your local dollar store. Just wait and see what treasures you will find there.
