Why I Love the Dollar Tree Store & Have Fun There!


One
of the many reasons I love Thursdays is because I know I will be going
to the Dollar Tree Store. Now it's not only for the 1 pound of wrapped
cheeses I can get, or the frozen bags of all kinds of vegetables and/or
fruits plus spices, extracts, frames, candles and many other every day
things but for the not every day things of which the two above are good
examples.

Pictures 1-3: They are
vases that lay flat until you fill them with water and then they become
sturdy vases--in the third picture I put a spatula after putting water
in one of the flattened vases (see picture 2 with the vase on right
lying flat and the left with water.) Though made out of plastic they
will last forever! They also come with 'water' beads that I have talked
about before and I put those in my potted plants.

Pictures
4-6: I have had these 'finger' peelers for a couple of years now. They
are so easy to use and they work beautifully--see picture #3 of a
cucumber I peeled Wednesday--they fit right over the finger and come in
all colors. When I first got them I peeled anything in sight!!!

I
have 6 different watches with varied colored straps that are still
running after 2 years--every Spring I buy packets of flower and
vegetable seeds (see results this coming Sunday) and bags of soil plus
pots and saucers--every holiday we decorate the individual apartments
and the building for pennies and all year round, whether using various
pictures or ornaments, I can change the look of the apartment. I have
gotten all red kitchen utensils to match the oven mittens, sponges,
napkins, towels, apple corer/slicer or anything else that you can put in
a kitchen that is red.

If you
don't have a Dollar Tree Store in your area just go to their web page
and take a look--by the way very few have the frozen food or
refrigerator sections like the one near me where they have packs of
burgers, tacos, chicken, ice cream, chocolates of all kinds, eggs, milk,
juices, etc.

I need to go to a dollar store. I will find a lot of things that I can't live without, I am sure. I love gadgets.

Ours doesn't have all that, but I'm going to look for that peeler.

Just look on their web page--they will send anything you order to the store near you and not charge for shipping!

A comedian remarked once that he'd went to the Dollar Tree for just a couple of items. When he got to the checkout he had spent $130!! Did you find what you're looking for...that and then some.

This store is near the cruise ship docks and the guys who work on them come in and buy hundreds of dollars worth of stuff--it becomes a mad house!

Those vases are really interesting. So is the peeler, for that matter.

I've found things at those stores that the main stream supermarkets refused to carry, such as fruitcake fruit and bulk popcorn in bags.

I really do go crazy at them--I run up and down the aisles like a kid--a few years ago I went crazy with their decals!!!
