Frugal Tip: Shop the $1 Store

I only have a few things on my Christmas wish list, and the main one is a FLIP Ultra Video Camcorder.

Frugal Mom Reviews in hosting a contest on behalf of Pure Digital Technologies that is giving away a FLIP camera for your best frugal tips.

My frugal tip is to start checking out your dollar store for more items that you buy often.

I just found a new, gigantic dollar tree that has tons of name brand foods…not expired by the way, or at least this is what I thought.

We buy pretzels at the grocery store for $2 or more a bag, the same with chips and salsa.

We got all 3 of these items (name brand) for only $1 each. I was really surprised how good they tasted too.

Switching out even just a few items a week will add up over time.

Now if I can just win that FLIP, I can enter the WalMart Money Saving Tips Contest.
