Money saving Tip #1: Shop at Dollar Tree! (Part 1)

Are you tired of shopping at Big High-end expensive Grocery stores just to walk out of the store with half a cart full of items that cost more than $200 that don't even make complete meals? Well listen up! SHOP AT DOLLAR STORES FOR ITEMS THAT DON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE TASTE WISE OR LOOK WISE!
That is right, you heard me!
There is no reason to go to the grocery store and get Napkins at $3.50 for a 100 count, Plastic sandwich bags for $3 and condiments for over $4 a piece! When the brand does not make a difference! Think about it: When you take napkins for example out of the plastic it comes in to put it in the napkin holder do u the next day or next time you need a napkin reach for it and remember the brand? I for sure don't I just think jeez I need to clean up this spilled coffee quick before it stains my shirt. ha-ha. So why waste hard earned money on stuff that is hard to differentiate? Instead, make a list of the items that you use that you aren't loyal to, like cleaning supplies, plastic bags, containers, brooms, mops, napkins, baking supplies, seasonings, juices etc. and just head over to Dollar Tree like I do! EVERYTHING in the entire store is $1 or less ($1.08 with tax on most items)~ WHO CAN BEAT THAT?

Not only that, they do carry a vast variety of Kitchen gadgets, decor and so much more, PLUS THEY ACCEPT COUPONS!!!! SAYYYYYY WHAT! yes, they do!

I love to go there to get vases, gift bags and tape, they have 2count of scotch tape for just a buck! and cards too! I never would have though of The BEAUTIFUL gift bags they have it is truly amazing. I am now a weekly shopper there and recently got stuff for valentines there too for my apartment and my boyfriend. I got rose petals, a vase that has sayings on it and a card, why not get that kind of stuff there, there is no difference plus they have SO much merchandise and the store in my area is amazingly clean for a dollar store!

SO, to wrap this up... TRY OUT DOLLAR TREE!!! (click HERE for link) 

You don't even have to do what I said above and completely switch, but just even if your driving past one just take a stroll through the store and see just what I mean, see the amazing variety of products, cheap prices and the name brand stuff too! Even take a note pad with you like I did the first time and write down all the products that I may be interested in and went home and matched up coupons, and compared sizes to regular grocery stores to make sure it was cheaper over all!!!! 
Hope this helps some people because this truly helped me save more than $200 a month just watching what I am buying and paying attention! 

Stay tuned for proof of the savings later on today! (Part 2)
HAVE A GREAT AFTERNOON EVERYONE!
