Dollar Stores - Top Ten Dollar-Store Deals

"Today's dollar stores are generally neater, better organized and offer products equal to those found in regular stores, but at a fraction of the cost." Donna is so right. Some dollar stores are amazing. It's like wandering around a department store and everything has been put on sale... BIG TIME. But, all dollar stores are not created equal. You have to search them out and then when you find a GREAT one... visit often. The deals can be amazing! For example, I wanted to find tiny bowls for placing butter on the table when we have company. I found three tiny ceramic bowls for $1.50 and I have already found more uses for them. I plan to check out other serving dishes because a pretty table doesn't have to cost the earth. And another thing. At these prices, you don't have to wait until you have company to use them! Pamper yourself and your family by setting a gorgeous table just for the fun of it!

You have no idea how tired I am of roots. I swear... my hair seems to grow over night and I no sooner color it and my roots are visible again. Well, I was reading just tonight about demipermanent color on BellaSugar and I like the sound of it. The only thing that worries me is the fact that it won't last the 20 to 28 shampoos. That sounds almost too good to be true and then there is the thing about the hair coloring fading gently with each shampoo. That sounds perfect if it's possible. Will have to check it out and see. Wish me luck!

Saving Money on the Weekend

This is one day that is particularly had for us. We work hard all week long and then look forward to hitting the mall in seach of... just about anything that will make us feel better. But have you noticed that you don't feel better at the end of the day. In fact, you might even feel worse.

Actually yesterday was my "bliss day." It's the day when I go out with my daughter for lunch and then the mall (with a list btw). Well, we did things a little different yesterday. We had lunch (we trade weeks for paying and then we went to a park for the afternoon. It was gorgeous and it didn't cost us a cent. So, I guess my message today is to find things that you can enjoy doing that won't necessarily cost you a ton. Surprisingly enough (even to me) I can go out and have a good time without shopping!
