We all love great deals but are you guilty of overspending on these 3 items when you can get the exact same for less at a local dollar store?
1. Greeting Cards
Why spend $4 or $5 on greeting cards when you can pick some up at the dollar store for as low as 50¢.
2. Gift Bags/ Decorative Party Supplies
Whether your giving presents or decorating a kids party, dollar stores offer great supplies for only $1. Save your money and buy these supplies here since they’ll end up in the garbage after the party anyway. Small gift bags are as low as 10 cents each in a multipack.
3. Hair Accessories
Hair ties to bobby pins, we lose these like its our job so don’t spend $2 or $3 on them just to ‘misplace’ it in a week.
Dollar stores do offer brand name items so don’t pay twice as much for simple things you can get here. Check out what coupon match ups we have at couponmom.com. We also match printable coupons daily to your local grocery stores.
