You can get lots of good stuff at the dollar store

Like plastic containers, aspirin, and cleaning supplies

Great place to get bullshit craft supplies like pipe cleaners, and party supplies if your kids are young enough that they don't know shiny garbage from expensive shiny garbage

Small containers/tubs for pigments and pastels and whatever. Those little flossing things for your teeth. Measuring spoons.

There are a few really good buys.

oh I forgot that they sell Whales there. usually I only find them at Wal-Mart (in a much bigger box but w/e). they're way saltier than goldfish and therefore better

e: and they have the best Utz selection in town. crab chips always in stock.

Haha, admittedlty those were from the weirder end. They did get a lot of name brand food and, weirdly, clothes. Granted, most of the clothes would be wildly out of season and style, but occasionally they’d end up with things like Aerie underwear for a dollar.

I bought a tinker bell skirt for my ex roommates 3 year old on a whim a little while back and she wears the thing every day since then apparently. It’ll probably end up giving her cancer or something but at least she’s enjoying it in the meantime

I would always see the boxes of condoms there and be tempted but also rather not risk things on rubbers that cost 1/10 of the price of regular ones lol

Condoms are one of the most bizarre commodities in existence, ridiculously expensive and kind of embarrassing to buy in retail establishments and also health departments/NGOs basically pleads you to take them for free. It's crazy how pretty much every retail store is trying to keep people from stealing them because of the markup and embarrassment of buying them when other groups stress about how to give away more of them for free, often to the exact same people.

I paid a lot of money for some pretty spice jars(with spices) at a farmers market last summer and my boyfriend somehow managed to throw the bag of them into a creek because we were eating stuffed pretzels near it and a spider crawled near him and he freaked out. They got swept away and I didn’t talk to him for the rest of the ride home

It's a shame the kids can't get them out of a machine in the Circle K restroom for 50 cents like in the good ol' days.

I think he’d somehow managed to wrap the bag of spices around his shoe or something and jumped up like a spazz throwing it into the water. I was just as confused when it happened as I was trying to recall it

I can't find this no matter what I search for but there was a video on youtube of some guy in Toronto who makes an entire meal out of stuff from the dollar store. There are hundreds of these so why is this one special?

Because also in the video is this aging street musician playing a keyboard and making up jingles while they cook. He looks just what you'd think a failed 80s keyboard played in TYOOL 2016 who busks for a living looks like.

Honestly that entire store was a hellscape of the worst kinds of people. My most frequent argument involved mainland Chinese tourists who were extremely mad that I wouldn't discount popular souvenirs that already came in a 10/$6 bag. To be fair, they're pretty drat cute.
