The other day, my non-frugal hubby came home with $40 of drugstore products that I could have bought for $8 at the dollar store. I smiled sweetly and made a mental note to keep these items in stock so he doesn’t run out. (Smiling sweetly is my secret to a long marriage.)
Although the quality of the items sold at the dollar stores varies greatly, there are some items that are just foolish to buy at regular retail price. Thanks to readers, we have grown this list from 10 to 67 items!!!!

Estate sales can be one of the best places to shop at deep, deep discounts. There are some sale items that always seem to be priced at 10% OR LESS of the original retail price. That means you are paying 1/10th of the original price tag. A true bargain buy! (More on where to find estate sales below.)
I don’t know about you, but the cold weather always wreaks havoc on my pout. My lips gets dry and flaky. It’s unsightly! You may recall I reviewed lip balms awhile ago to help you protect your lips and wallet. Some had a funky smell and taste, and a couple where expensive. Watch the video to learn how to make your own lip balm! You’ll no longer have to run to your local drugstore to stock up on lip balm when winter rolls around.
