Uncommon Cents writes a similar post earlier this week about the great finds you can get for practically dirt cheap at the local 99 cents store. I just checked out mine in my new neighborhood.
I got for $11.00 (plus tax, total $11.95):
1.) A measuring cup (threw my old scratched one out in the move)
2.) Two Soft Soap brand liquid hand soaps in black raspberry vanilla and soothing aloe vera
3.) Instant hand sanitizer in strawberry melon scent
*these above two purchases I usually get in the Bath & Body Works variety and they are obviously several $$$ more there*
4.) toilet bowl cleaner
5.) a large Ajax antibacterial orange dish washing liquid (higher cost at the local grocery or CVS).
6.) a 4-pack of tooth brushes
7.) a 4-pack of toilet paper
8.) and to cease my shopping urge to buy something for "me", I bought a variety of 5 funky head-band accessories
Pretty good deals, I must say.
Now, it's time to stop procrastinating by spending my time online.........I REALLY need to sit down and begin my wedding thank-you's. BTW, the post office has 41 cent "forever" stamps in rolls of 100 for $41.00. May be good to pick up a few rolls, since the cost of stamps is going up again in May!. If you pick these up now, you don't have to pay the difference when the price changes in May.

Speaking of the stamps--if you have a Costco near you, you can get the roll of 100 for a little bit of a discount. I think it's something like $40.50, which isn't a HUGE savings, but it is something.
I think I'll be going out and buying more "forevers" now, just to lock in the 41 cent price!
Postal prices just went up again here too, I remember buying first class stamps for about 25p, now they're nearer 40p!
I used to love all the dollar stores - I used to buy a lot of my craft goodies there!
