Dollar Store Junkie
Ok, I confess. I'm a dollar store junkie. How about you? I couldn't help it; they are everywhere. Have you noticed that you will find a dollar store in every strip center and shopping center, along with the customary Chinese and/or pizza shop? And for the last 1-1/2 years, even my favorite store, Target, has had them. What's an addict going to do? I even know of a shopping center that has two right next to each other! Yesterday, I went to Target for medicine and as always there was that "It will be ready in "10" minutes", so I head to my favorite places- I've already been to the garden shop since I park there. There are usually plenty of parking spaces at that end of the store, and they always have several shopping carts right at the entrance. I still visit the 50 and 75% off racks, but now I've got a small dollar store, right there near the cash registers. Yesterday was no different from other times and yes, I found gems - each a dollar and well worth the money. I got a hammer to replace the one I lost that I use to break the ice when I service the coffin type freezer unit at work. A little tap and it's ready to use the ice scraper on. (And here's a tip if you have a freezer that isn't self defrosting. Spray lightly with a cooking spray and the ice will come right off.) And I got a spatula and tongs that are for a BBQ. The longer handles make them great for a stroker who has a hand/arm that has a mind of it's own. I find that and always mitt style potholders great if you do any cooking. $3.00 well spent, don't you think? Maybe in my spare time I should form a new group, Dollar Stores Junkies Anonymous. I think it would have a lot of members.
