Heidi got this pretty red satin dress there.

That is the same little red dress I found for Jada a couple of years ago

I got Sammy's Santa suit at Dollar Tree! I like their scrubbing brushes for doing the bathroom and they have sponges with a scrubby on one side which are great for doing the dishes. They also have a foam window cleaner which works really well that I've seen in other stores for $4.

Ive gotten tons of cool halloween decorations for super cheap. We go all out here at work and every year we go there and buy more to add to our collection! We have the coolest room in the company for halloween! We make the little kiddies cry! LOL (mean I know!)

I got some very cool Christmas ornaments there, all sequins and shine, love them!

I go to the Dollar Tree here. I always stock up on xmas wrapping paper as soon as they get it in when the selection is good-can't beat $1 for 20-30sq. ft. I buy lots of holiday stuff there, as well as gift bags, some toiletries/nail polish, etc. for my DD, pet toys, kitchen items, some cleaning supplies & basically a lot of junk I really don't need! lol.

A couple months back I stopped in there & planned on running into the grocery store after for some cheese for a chicken alfredo bake. Well our Dollar Tree has a new fridge/freezer section & they had an Italian blend so I bought a couple bags. Came home, put it on, baked and VOILA!!! The cheese didn't/couldn't/wouldn't melt! I saw that in fine print on the back of the back later. So now I triple check any food product I buy from there.

I agree the shredded cheese isn't good there at all.

Cheese wouldn't melt?? was it blended with plastic?

our 99c store has mini watermelons and they are so sweet! Sometimes you can find the Cuties tangerines for a buck also super sweet. They occasionally have really good deals with foods, like MIL got a huge pack of sandwich meat for a buck. One lady was hoarding them! The expiration dates were still good!

I have found really beautiful silk flowers, doggie wipes, gift bags, and covered bowls to use when we BBQ or go on pic-nic's.

Most cheese is "cheese product", or "cheese food". Make sure when you buy cheese, it says "real" cheese.

I looked at the ingredients & nothing looked "foreign". At my ex-job they would sometimes get in the fake cheese, but it had a lot of wax in it & that wasn't listed.
Besides, at least wax would've melted!

I ended up shredding string cheese! lol, not an easy task...oh, and I got my shredder there, too. As well as 3 packs of good white socks for my DD, that's a good deal.

I love the dollar stores around here! I find all kinds of stuff. Holiday decorations and such are always fun to get there! I find dog stuff too... poop bags, dog collars sometimes, dog bowls, etc. I get a lot of drinks there, they have cases of water for only $1 which is awesomeness, and Sunny D and stuff like that... one of my dollar stores (and it's a true $1 store) has food like small pizzas, and mozzarella sticks and things like that!
