PSA and frugal tip of the day.

[Midlodemocrat]

Did you know that you can buy snacks, name brand snacks at the Dollar Tree and they aren't out of date? Everything is a dollar there, and they toss the old stuff, so nothing has expired.

If you've got kids, it's a lifesaver.


We now return you to your regularly scheduled Midlo bashing.

1. Yeah. Especially when you scream at the cashier, telling her it's $0.99

and not $1.09.

:hide:

2. No, seriously. at the Dollar TREE, everything is a dollar.

Unlike some of the other 'dollar' stores, like Dollar General.

I've gotten bags of Doritos there for the kids for lunches. For a buck. Can't beat it.

6. It is, isn't it?

I have a friend who is the absolute queen of sales. She never pays full price for anything. She's the one who told me because I was complaining about how much BoyMidlo eats.

7. We do a lot of business with Dollar Tree

There's one about four miles up the highway. I really enjoy it, and never a crowd. I always wondered why they put UPC's on their products because everything really is a dollar. Inventory control!!

9. I get snacks at Aldi's

Big bags of chips there are only 99cents. It leaves me with more money for booze, probably your motivation behind the Dollar Tree shopping.
