What can I say I love the Dollar store. This store is about average size the employee's are very nice and welcoming. It was a great place to pick up a plunger and some sponges really cheap for school and also they always have the holiday decorations really cheap. I usually come to the Dollar Store things such as gift wrapping paper and of course candy when I do lei's or when I want some movie junk food.
However, during the holiday season you can really find some really cute things for decor for stocking stuffers and things of that nature. Many times they have a small refrigerator section which I don't usually purchase from but I do love to make gift baskets when my friends are ill because they do carry a lot of brand named items such as Cokes, campbell soups and things and then you can get cross words and stuff for the fun stuff and yes I buy tons of cards from the Dollar store because I am old school and yup I still write cards and do the snail mail stuff. :}
So if you are looking for items that are still good quality and especially if you are doing parties or fundraisers this is the place for you because everything adds up very quickly even at Walmart.
