I'm not a big 99 cent store shopper. Guess I'm a snob. Now that I'm pinching pennies I'm going to Savers AND the dollar stores! I do wish they wouldn't call them dollar or 99 cent stores when their prices are more than a dollar, though. I bought a four-pack of toilet paper, a two-pack of paper towels and one box of generic tissue and spent $13.00.
This store was a typical smaller store- a bit crowded with stuff. It had plenty of brand name items. During the time I was there I found the teenage staff to be standing in a corner gossiping, and the other one engaged in an activity for which one of the boxes of Kleenex would have been more appropriate than his apron. But I digress. I paid for my stuff without standing in a line and was in/out rapidly. I guess shopping in the middle of a Friday has its benefits.
