i bought this nativity set at a dollar store. it was $1 per figurine.

I'm surprised it's even legal for dollar stores to sell things like pregnancy tests, sleeping pills and butt cream.

It looks beautiful. Now I have to go check out my dollar store.

Those are pretty cool. My aunt bought a lot of Christmas stuff last year at a dollar store.

Those are really nice. I don't need to buy any nativity scenes. I always seem to get them as gifts. I think I have about 6 of them. I put 2 out every year and I rotate them every year.

I rarily go to the dollar store, if I do it's to buy bday cards. They tend to get thrown out anyway, so why spend $3 for something that will end up in the trash.

The dollar store pregnancy tests are accurate. At least they were for me.

A lot of stuff at the dollar store is better than you think it is, sometimes they even have brand names. It depends on the store, but a lot of them are really good.

thanks! i have 3 sets, the one in this thread i got from dollar tree. the figures are rather large, the size of barbie dolls. i put this set on my dining room table on the middle of my gold runner. the other is a miniature set and i put it on the window sill of my kitchen window. and the other set i put on the coffee table by my christmas tree and that is my main set.

the dollar tree one is nice, i like how the figures are painted, they have nice detail, especially on the faces. but they are very hollow and therefore fragile and i can't pack them away with the rest of the christmas decor for this reason.

yes i've used their tests too. i found them accurate but they are very old school. the kit at the dollar store i shop at requires you to use your own cup. i had no disposable cups so i had to pee in an old coffee mug then i threw it out. then you had to use the dropper. again, it was accurate but a pain in the butt.

i also buy stuff like generic tylenol there and other over the counter meds, as long as its made in the u.s. and i find they work just as well. i buy a lot of basic home supplies there as well, cleaning products etc.

I love dollar stores, the ones where I live have name brand stuff and much cheaper than in regular stores. Why go and pay 5 dollars for laundry detergent, when you can get it two or three dollars cheaper, especially for a brand like Tide or Gain

OH Nuts! · 10-01-2009, 10:20 PM

I don't know how dumb can you be @ a dollar store. The most you can lose is a dollar. Unless of course you go HOG WILD and buy umpteen items and/or are addicted to chotchkas.

I've found quite a few things at them that I really needed & that would have been much more somewheres else.

I wonder what the guy, who wrote that article, thinks you should buy dollar store...

TripperFan · 10-10-2009, 08:48 PM

I don't think I'd want to stock up on condoms there. Especially since a lot of the stuff comes out of China.
