Dollar Store Toothpaste

our dollar stores sell old candy that you can't even chew.

Also, the stuff you buy in the outlet stores isn't the same, either.
I bought some Eddie Bauer t-shirts at the outlet store in Destin, and the thickness of the material was literally one half that of what you get in the regular store. But yeah, the price was less.

Those Dollar stores are great for some stuff, but when you look at the yucky but cheap off brands, it does make you wonder about the supposedly regular brands. Dollar stores are, to me, really kind of depressing places (but I still occasionally shop there).QUOTE

When I was in college (many moons ago) we were told that the X brand often times was the "same" as the national brand (the "if you knew what we know" type of ideology) ie "no name" ketchup was Heinz Ketchup (do you know Heinz?)...I think there are now "dollar store grades" of "ketchup" and other things...30A Skunkape, y'all are tellin' on yoself :funn:

We have a Dollar Tree right next to our Target. It's the best for gift bags, party supplies, hair accessories and novelty items. It's really hard for me to pay over a dollar for a gift bag now. I'll make a special trip if I have to.
