When I first met my husband, he bought EVERYTHING at the grocery store. I know a lot of people do that to save time, which is exactly why stores offer sundries of various kinds, only at inflated prices. But it doesn't take too much effort to find the same products at reduced prices, especially with the variety of larger, more warehouse type stores available now.
Depending on what you need, some items can even found CHEAPER at the dollar type stores. Of course, you may still want to purchase certain kinds of brand name items for a little extra, such as shampoos, pet foods, canned items, etc. but for some things, why would you want to pay more?
Especially around the holidays, you can find cards, tinsel, ornaments and all kinds of things for $1 that might cost you $2-3 at another store. You should look closely at the item or the wrapper just to see if you're getting what appears to be similar, since often an item might be half the size as at another store. Or the quality might indeed be a lot better at another store. But if you know what to watch for, you can get some items for less money, and those savings add up!
