Do you go into the dollar store for like 10 things and the cashier says $78 🫢😡

@MellyMel22 was it dollar store or “family dollar”?

Family dollar is just cheap stuff… dollar tree is legit a dollar (and change) for ever item

@WaryWitchWandering [i][c=BF0080]We have both, but this was actually dollar tree! They raised it to 1.25, did they do it by you too? [/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 Yes

@Bexsy [i][c=BF0080]Oh my goodness, that’s too funny 🤣[/c][/i]

@WaryWitchWandering [i][c=BF0080]Oh my lol.. you must’ve found good stuff! I know how that goes with the sizes changing, I used to be afraid to get rid of stuff as it changed incase, but eventually I just would.. 4xs too 🤣[/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 yeah I tried lying to myself “someday it’ll fit”

Thing is, even if I got as small as I was before, my body has shifted you know?

@WaryWitchWandering [i][c=BF0080]That was me too.

Yeah, it changes. The joys of being a mommy lol.. [/c][/i]

@TallMtnMedic [i][c=BF0080]It’s rough out there! Sadly 😞[/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 Yup, and not getting better either.

@TallMtnMedic [i][c=BF0080]Yeah, it stinks. [/c][/i]

@cherokeepatti Ah! I have two of those egg ring things, but they are only about 1/2 " high!

@4meAndyou I saw egg rings yesterday at the discount store, made out of silicon with a little handle to lift it off the skillet.

@4meAndyou Look at the way they promote these crumpet rings on the box. The photo looks like wedding rings and then it says”For life for family for you!” 😂😂😂

@cherokeepatti [i][c=BF0080] I’d be going there too.[/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 yeah I go to the discount store as soon as it opens. The main thing is you have to be patient around other shoppers and also take the time to dig and sort through the stuff on the tables. I put back 5 items after I finished shopping, a couple of things had been opened or something missing. And decided I didn’t need the others. But some people will sort through everything reading the writing on the box and maybe have 4 or 5 things in their cart. It’s easier to do the reading and sorting after you finish, and it doesn’t clog up the lines at the table.

@cherokeepatti [i][c=800055]Oh okay. Sounds like it’s well worth it.[/c][/i]

@Reject [i][c=BF0080]Yeah, that’s for sure. It’s unreal that some things more than doubled. [/c][/i]

@Degbeme [i][c=BF0080] I went back the next day to get the wall tape that the other one didn’t have. I said I’m gonna get 4 this way if I need it another day I’ll have it or if I need more than I think I need I won’t have to go back and spend more money. Here’s what I saw at the register when I went to pay for the 4 tapes 😡:[/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 Wall tape? That`s damn expensive. 😲

@Degbeme [i][c=BF0080]I put together something to hold bags that my mom loved and wanted. So I got the stuff from there that I needed and they didn’t have the tape. I didn’t think the tape would work, so I’ll only got one the time before so that I wouldn’t be mad 😡 [/c][/i]

@SethGreene531 [i][c=BF0080]You guys are silly 😂[/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 😂

@CestManan [i][c=BF0080]I agree. It’s sickening. [/c][/i]

@MoonlightLullaby [i][c=BF0080]Well I never return that stuff, I just will be mad if I stare at it and given I also food shopped and had to unpack a lot, I thought I’d hold off 😅[/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 I have to watch $5 and below because those $5's add up awfully quick on me. 😳
Then I get home and realize most of the crap wasn't even a bargain.🙄😠

@MoonlightLullaby [i][c=BF0080]That’d be me if I went there. It almost happened once and I settled on just skinny laffy taffy’s lol [/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 It is so difficult to just take one as your mind says too, and then I just grab five or more! LOL Mind says one thing and mouth says another.

@WillaKissing [i][c=BF0080]Yeah, definitely. Then you start thinking, if I don’t grab a bunch I’ll have to come back again sooner 🤣[/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 Exactly!

@vetguy1991 adds up quickly

@vetguy1991 [i][c=BF0080]Def![/c][/i] @cherokeepatti

@Amylynne [i][c=BF0080]Yeah, I still can’t believe they changed that [/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 china!

@meggie [i][c=BF0080]Some really are in some areas. The ones by me are good. [/c][/i]

@GBPackersFan [i][c=BF0080]I get it, they really should change it 😡[/c][/i]

@assemblingaknob [i][c=BF0080]That stinks, I’m sorry to hear that. I’m fortunate to have decent ones nearby that have a great variety of things. Of course some things are junk, but I love what I can find that isn’t each time.[/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 See, it through the eyes of Cashier.😁 You should have told him I am FBI (Full Blooded Italian) and I have a Baseball bat in the trunk of my car. I am sure, he would have said:
[quote] It's Free for you.😇[/quote]

@SoLeRiMix [i][c=BF0080]It was a sweet new kid working 🤣[/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 Good that you showed some mercy. Your glare scared the hell out of someone young few years ago. I won't mention 'who'. You told me about it.😁

@littlepuppywantanewlife [i][c=BF0080]We need help 🥲[/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 Yes lol

@lispoiledbrat [i][c=BF0080] I think many can be full of junk, like where I used to live. Not where I am now though luckily. I go in for specific things that they have everywhere else way more and then I see this and that that I can use and that’s how it starts 🤣[/c][/i]

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow [i][c=BF0080]I go to the Yankee Candle store and over spend on theirs. Addicted for so many years.. [/c][/i]

@Lilymoon [i][c=BF0080]Dsmmit 🤦‍♀️😔[/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 ahem... Langauge miss...jk.

@Thewhazzupdude [i][c=BF0080]They should![/c][/i]

@SubstantialKick [i][c=BF0080]That’s def true unfortunately. [/c][/i]

@HoraceGreenley 😅

@MartinTheFirst [i][c=BF0080]It stinks 😔[/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 its a big stinky

@cherokeepatti yes, it sucks.

The big CEO, Galen Weston of Loblaws here in Canada announced there would be a price freeze on No Name products until January 31, 2023. They typically freeze product prices at this time of the year and I am sure he will Jack them up before freezing them November 1st.

Grocery chain profits are sky rocketing and CEO’s are rolling in the money while people struggle to feed themselves. Gotta love greedy corporations.

@iamonfire696 Walmart jacks up prices in October and then has rollbacks starting about a month after Christmas but sometimes longer. They want to make sure they keep the prices up till people spend their gift cards. They say to counteract shoplifting losses but I think greed is a factor. They will put holiday foods, holiday candy, decorations and that type of on clearance sometime after New Years. Orthodox Christians don’t celebrate till around that time anyway so they buy it then. So people are going to shop in alternative places if they keep doing it. Or buy clearance and save those things for Christmas especially stocking stuffers and clothing items.

@cherokeepatti the Rich get richer and the poor get poorer

@Zonuss [i][c=BF0080] I do that there too, luckily it’s a little further from me.[/c][/i]

@SW-User [i][c=BF0080]I needed stuffs 😡[/c][/i]

@Darksideinthenight2 [i][c=BF0080]This one is one of the only a dollar ones, but they raised the dollar to 1.25[/c][/i]

@Darksideinthenight2 [i][c=BF0080] I’m still not sure.[/c][/i]
