25 Dollar Store Items Worth Buying

Dollar stores can have a stigma of having cheap, not-worth-it items. Some may never even step foot into one because it's not "worth their money." Well, I remember when we first were married, we had adopted a soldier overseas. We had contacted him and asked him what he would like in a care package. Many of the items I knew I could get at the dollar store. Not that I was trying to go "cheap," but they were candy items and simple things that could be bought AT a dollar store. Each time we sent a package, I made a trip to the dollar store to see what goodies I could find and all we kept hearing was how much he loved them!You can't find every thing at a dollar store; though, you can find a lot! Granted there are some things I personally would not buy at a dollar store and there are certain things that actually are not a good deal. On the other hand, I still enjoy making trips to the dollar store once or twice a year to stock up on the things that I know I cannot get a better deal on.I decided to make a list of the items that I feel are worth while buying at the thrift store - items that will save you dollars and save you the grief of knowing you spent too much on an item at your local grocery store!25 Dollar Store Items Worth Buying:1.
