It's Frugal Friday!Do you have a Dollar Store near you? You might be surprised at some of the treasures you can find there! Recently, I picked up a music CD that came with a magazine for $1. It was 74 minutes worth of beautiful piano music by Chopin and the magazine was all about his life and music and a little history about the piano. I bought three of them so I could give a couple as gifts. What a great gift for only a buck!
When I had to travel with my husband last month, I was looking for ways to pass the time and found a dollar store there. I was pleasantly surprised to find gluten free cookies. Two dozen for a dollar! I bought a couple boxes, went out to the car and tried them. They were so yummy I went back in and nearly cleaned them out.
Also, at that same store I found 15 postal service note cards that were replicas of the love stamp they had for a while that had the two swans facing each other, making the heart shape. Once again, only a dollar. What bargain.
I love pugs and found some other note cards last week, 10 for a dollar that have a picture of a pug smoking a cigar and driving a taxi...it's really cute. They will make fun thank you notes for after Christmas for my family.
The sad thing with the dollar store, though, is you never know what they will have and chances are the item you bought last time won't be there again next time.
