On Monday, I went up to Tacoma with family for a fun day out. While we were there, we went shopping at Dollar Tree – I’ve always loved dollar stores, for obvious reasons, and Dollar Tree is one of my favorites. Here’s what I picked up:

Total spent: $21.40

Got:

2 Sunday newspapers – price: $2.00! I was so excited to find papers there – what a steal at $1.00 each, considering a Sunday Oregonian is $2.50! I was extra happy, because I was so wrapped up in freezer cooking on Sunday that I had totally forgotten to buy one, and was kicking myself. Couldn’t believe that I found them on a Monday afternoon, and so cheap!
1 can of oven cleaner – I’d been meaning to buy some of this. Price: $1.00
1 bottle of drain opener – this is one of those things that you need every once in a while, and always seems to be expensive, so I thought I’d get some now to keep on hand. I don’t know if this brand is good or not, but I’m willing to try it and see. Price: $1.00
1 package of scouring pads – always need these! Price: $1.00
1 flashlight – we needed another one. Price: $1.00
1 lint roller – I’ve been meaning to pick one of these up as well. I like to use these while I’m cleaning the couch! Price: $1.00
Hair clips – needed more of these too. Price: $1.00
2 toys – fun little stocking stuffers for future holidays! Price: $2.00
1 package of foam cups, 1 package of paper plates , 1 package of plastic cutlery – good for parties! Price: $3.00
1 package of coffee filters – the last few times I’ve bought these, they’ve been around $2-3, so I thought I’d buy ahead to save money later. Price: $1.00
1 package of turkey – was supposed to be on special for .50 cents, but I didn’t check my receipt before leaving and I realized later that it rang up $1.00.
Two 8oz bags of cheese – can always use this. Price: $2.00
1 package of scrubber sponges – we go through a lot of these since we don’t have a dishwasher yet, so it pays to buy ahead! Price: $1.00
2-pack of tape – needed this too! Price: $1.00
1 hummingbird feeder – just for fun! I’ve been wanting a hummingbird feeder for a while, because we get a lot of them in the backyard. Price: $1.00

There was also an additional $1.40 fee for sales tax, since we were in Washington.
