Dollar Tree

This trusty Dollar Tree always comes in handy during our twice-​yearly trips to the area. Inevitably during our travel there’s some item that gets broken or forgotten, so to Dollar Tree we go to cheaply replace it.
«What,» you may ask, «did you buy at this Dollar Tree location during your recent trip to town, Kristin?» Let me list a few examples:
* tea bags: My boyfriend’s mother was out of them, and I require hot tea to be at least moderately pleasant.
* leather protector: Because I had planned to detail my boyfriend’s father’s Durango as a way of thanking him for letting us borrow his ride for a few days to get around town.
* California Scents brand air freshener: See above.
* bags of TGI Fridays brand potato chips: To bring to a barbeque.
* a hairbrush: Because mine decided to break in two during its cross-​country flight.
* greeting cards: The 50-cents-each-but-don’t-look-or-feel-cheap cards sold at Dollar Tree stores are great, and I like to stock up on them.
* cat toys: Because my boyfriend’s dad’s new kitten is too darn cute not to spoil.
I’ve always been a fan of the Dollar Tree store chain. The stores are a reliable alternative to other discount store options; I find that Dollar Tree stores don’t typically sell expired food items as do most private, family-​owned discount stores and also tend to be cleaner and more organized.
