Thanks for sharing! I will definitely check some of these out.
That’s awesome. Let us know if you score any great deals at these dollar stores!
You should add the site called DOLLAR1.com to your list. They have great deals on name brand products. They offer free shipping when you order $25 or more.
Yes I’ve purchased from Dollar1.com before… actually beats all of these in the list IMO
Kylee and Danny, this is an excellent recommendation! We’ve added it to the list for others to enjoy as well.
H & J Closeouts, may sell stuff very cheap, but you have too buy inn bulk! This is really great, if u need a lifetime’s worth of pens, or are giving “free” gifts to get people to come to your store opening, or fundraiser, or you need a hundred gold envelopes for a Golden Anniversary, but otherwise, it’s not practical for most people.
Good point. Sometimes you have to beware of that if you don’t actually need the item in bulk. But other times, bulk can be handy. 🙂
It can be a good resource for starting a side hustle or even fundraising banquets for your school or another local organization.
