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.
I LOVE our Dollar Tree! I’ve found that it’s a great place for stocking stuffers or little “extras” for birthday gifts for kids like coloring books or puzzles; great classroom supplies for teachers, and you can’t beat the $1 pregnancy tests! LOL!
LOL about those $1 pregnancy tests, I have bought (and am still buying) my fair share!
Dollar Tree rocks! Unfourtunatly the ones near me suck and are really icky inside.
