Buck love

This post isn't news, but I must admit one of my favorite parts about returning to the states was.... the dollar. Yes, the idea that just one dollar could get me a can opener (did you know they were at least $20 in Brasil?? Seriously!!) or just about anything for a luau and cards and cups and dish detergent... oh, I do love the dollar and what it can get me.

So yeah, you know about Dollar Tree .... can't say much more about it. We all know it freaking rocks. And then there's the dollar spot at Target - ooo, right now there's a bunch of great outdoor games and bubble things, and Simpsons memorabilia... as I said, this is not news. Just wanted to make a small tribute to all the things we can get for a dollar in this great country!


So here it is... in haiku form!!

entering for socks

then finding shirts and loofas

Twenty bucks buys lots!!

Ahhh... you can buy lots of stuff but they still don't sell talent:)

Generally, I like dollars

My MIL is staying in Florida and informed me of a children's clothing sale at a Dollar General down there - don't know if this is a country-wide things seeing as I'm not in the country, but a trip to your local Dollar General never hurt anyone!

Right on target

Oh booga, you haven't lost your touch! You still know how to get me all a-twitter!!

I have a hint to share! Target donates all their brand-new out-of-season, overstocked or discontinued items to Goodwill! You can get tons of great brand-new Target stuff there all the time, and the prices are great! I went in yesterday, and there was a sale for 25 items for $1!! I KNOW! It was mostly magnets and things, but I stocked up on 25 packs of really cute "Thank You"cards to use in my business!

I looked this up on the web, and several peeps from across the country have said this same thing, so it looks to be a generally widespread practice. One person said they found a guestbook from Target for their wedding for $.99 at a Goodwill, so boooooya! I'd suggest asking your local Goodwill when they usually get donations (when I was in college, the local employees knew me by name!!) and then wait outside until they open that day with a jar of pennies. Because it's just. that. exciting.
