This week I have talked a lot about dollar stores. I mentioned how sometimes I think dollar stores get a bad reputation because of the kinds of stories people tell about shopping at dollar stores. We’ve all seen or heard of horrible purchases people made at dollar stores. Dollar store purchases have a bad reputation for being low quality. I mentioned that I believe not everything at the dollar store is low quality. I think there are lots of dollar store deals. I mentioned a few of my favorite party supplies and kitchen items can be found at the dollar store. We even talked about dollar store shopping strategies. I just want to take one more blog and mention a couple more of my dollar store favorites.

I have lots of favorites when it comes to the products I buy. I’ll admit that I am not always super adventurous when it comes to trying new products. I like to find something I really like and stick with it. It just makes shopping easier for me. I have been really surprised to find lots of my favorites at our local dollar store. I’ve also been surprised to find that trying some different products from the dollar store has worked out well and saved me some money.

Cleaning Products
I have found that many of my favorite cleaning products are actually carried at our local dollar store. I have even tried and liked some new products that surprised me. I was pleasantly surprised by the drain cleaner from my local dollar store; it has become one of my dollar store favorites. Drain cleaner can be really pricey so I decided a gamble on a bottle for only one dollar might be worth it. It worked great! Window cleaner, toilet cleaner, floor cleaner, disinfectant – there are all kinds of cleaners available at my local dollar store. I have been happy with all of the cleaner purchases I’ve made. Because cleaners are a disposable product, I really like saving money when I buy them. Spending too much on something that goes down the drain or in the trash is frustrating. It makes me happy to add cleaning products to my list of dollar store favorites.

Food Items
This is one of those areas of the dollar store that seems to vary greatly. Some food items at my local dollar store are pretty great while others just tend to look a bit questionable. I can find lots of my favorite food items for a great price at the dollar store. It is pretty easy to say food items are some of my dollar store favorites. Snack items can be a great buy at the dollar store. Candy is also usually a really great deal. When I make a treat basket for someone, the dollar store is often my first stop for snacks and candy. At my dollar store there are even lots of good prices on food items for meals too. I think it is a great idea to talk a stroll down the food aisles at your local dollar store and see if your dollar store favorites are going to include food items.
