In reply to the discussion: The Truth About Those Dollar Stores [View all]luvs2sing
(2,220 posts)2. There is a Dollar Tree..
right next door to our favorite Chinese place. We have a habit of wandering over after our meal, just to browse. Most of it is junk, but Ive found a few cool things from time to time. They carry these delicious German lemon cookies that Ive never found anywhere else.
I also hit the dollar stores every time Im involved in a charity drive. I recently filled a big box with school supplies from the dollar store and only spent $50.
I probably shop in dollar stores about six times a year.

It's a 24 mile round trip to DG. It's a 90 mile round trip to the bigger grocery stores.
