Take this box of hot chocolate, for example.

I took a picture of the same product at my regular store, for 4x as much.

Or, this ice cream that I used to pay good money for, until I found it for much cheaper.

Or these other grocery items:





Want produce? They've got produce...



and lots of spices.


But my favorite find from this trip were these granola bars. They're the perfect size for my purse, and I eat them as an 80 calorie snack on the go. (The baby still has no teeth so he doesn't eat them yet.)

Here's their equivalent at the grocery store, for three times as much:

Nice, huh?
Okay, okay. I admit it.
I didn't get the granola bars for a dollar.

I got three for a dollar!

Wow! I need to check out your dollar store...ours isn't that nice. They have started carrying some grocery items--even frozen chicken in small packs, but no produce :)
I love dollar stores!

Hi acrossfields, nice to meet you! Yes, please do subscribe, and thanks for stopping by! :)
Holy cow! Your dollar store even has produce? That's something I've never seen before. These posts you do about shopping there always amaze me
I had a girl I worked with {years ago} make fun of me to other people..... saying that I "grocery shopped at the Dollar Store".
She didn't know what she was missing did she? LOL!
wow! where is this dollar store?? I need to check it out!
Oh, I hope our dollar stores get with it soon and start selling frozen items and produce. I'd be stopping there first, too. Great snag on the granola bars.
your dollar stores are SO much better than mine- ours has oddly branded shampoo and fake flowers- yours has produce and REAL food. what a score!
Kathryn, it's the 99c Only store on 11th, just east of the big fire station up there. :)
I've been noticing the dollar stores have been getting in great products lately - particularly things like shampoo, deodorant, body wash, etc.
Great finds!
you have produce at your dollar store? I am in dollar store envy!
Visiting from SITS Saturday Sharefest! Love your blog!
SuPer shopper award goes to Katie! wow produce at the dollar store? how cool is that? thanks for hopping in from sits.
Have a blessed day!!
Wow! Your dollar store is much nicer than mine! Fresh veggies?! All we have a ten year old canned corn. Stopping by from SITS!
We only have a Dollar Tree and it surely does not have that selection. Jealous! Those are awesome deals.
Thanks for coming by on my SITS Day. I am a new follower.

Hi! Stopping by from MBC. Great blog.
I never would have thought to eat a baby granola bar! What a great idea! Our Dollar store is not that nice though! I am with the other ladies, I don't know that I have ever seen a dollar store with produce! Not around here at least!
That is an AMAZING dollar store. We would never have anything like that up here. It's for things like that that I miss America.
I am a sucker for saving $$ ! And thanks for the snack idea!
Man! I wish our dollar store had that much! Actually, ours is getting more and more all the time....I should be more vigilant in checking that out, huh?
Nice blog! I will add you to my list to check often!
Be blessed!
Great post. Wish we had your dollar store here!
i think my dollar store isn't as nice. i will have to go to the one in livermore. it's bigger. hope that means it's better lol
