Crap for a Buck

With the economy in the crapper, Dollar Stores are getting mucho amor across the blogosphere. In this post, Dana from NotMadeOfMoney.com lists eight things she thinks are great bargains. While she didn’t mention the preg-o-meter, she did list OTC medications, which is something I can’t say I’m fully behind.

Call me crazy, but I just prefer to buy my medications, my dirty statues, and my Jesus-lotion at different stores.

Among her ideas that I’m all about:

• Umbrellas – I believe I’ve already mentioned the awesomeness of dollar store umbrellas.
• Generic version of Drano – They save money by not including a safety top, and using the same type of bottle as your kid’s favorite juice! Just kidding.
• Shaving cream – If I wasn’t an electric razor man, I’d be all over this.
• Hair brushes – I got a combination hair brush/mirror/pen at a “3 Peso” store in Mexico. I crap you not. I’ll post on it later.
• Sunglasses – I lose these as often as I wear them. I’d buy them in bulk if I could.
