So you may be wondering why the poll on ‘dollar’ type store buying habits. (Thanks to all that voted!) There is a reason stores like Dollar Tree are exploding in numbers. They carry a bit of everything & it appears that’s what we shop there for. (2-3 times a month won the poll). There is a need to supplement the products we buy in a money saving manner. Face it, life does not just stop because we are having a harder time making ends meet. I just want to share the best items that I have found to be of value to my household on a regular basis. The Dollar Tree stores are the ones in my area. Everything is just $1.00 (sometimes 2 for $1.00 like greeting cards).
I’d like to start with Health & Beauty products. There are many, like Softsoap hand soap, hand sanitizers, medicine cabinet items, poos & conditioners, razors, grooming items, saline spray (a favorite for warding off cold & flu season), etc. Some of my favorites are pictured to the left & described below.
First the best whitening mouse rinse Lavoris (a company making products for 100 years now!) is a favorite. They also have all the name brand toothpastes, same as in all the stores now, most are becoming a smaller package size. Ultra Brite baking soda & peroxide whitening still is the full size tube & has gotten Consumer Reports top ratings for whitening & stain removal. I also love these Murine eye drops. All the makeup in the world won’t conceal bloodshot, tired eyes!
The White Rain hair products even got a shout out on Big Bang Theory a couple a weeks ago. Sheldon criticized Penny for switching to the coconut scented shampoo because we know how he hates change. (He wanted her to stick with green apple). The teenage tester loves the coconut & they have the body wash too. Yummy, especially during the cold months. They have all the scents & are also Cocamide DEA free.
The last two favorites are the Gold Bond ultra healing lotion, although a small size, it’s perfect for the purse & exceptionally moisturizing. And pictured also are some Velcro hair rollers. These are generally expensive so this is a great deal. Just pop a few in onto dry hair to get some root lift. Run the hairdryer over them a few minutes, let cool & voila! Really nice volume…
So enjoy exploring the health & beauty aisles (generally two). You are sure to find some favorites. Next blog will be party/décor/misc., then grocery & finally cleaning products. Keep reading!
