I periodically test Dollar Tree products to compare against grocery and drug store items.  A few months ago I tried their powdered dishwasher detergent and was really pleased with how well it worked!  So well I put the Cascade back in in the cabinet and picked up another box today, along with the aspirin.  On Saturday, DH wanted a pain reliever, so we went to Jewel where he was (well, so was I) shocked at the price of the small bottle of 325 mg generic aspirin – $5.49!  Not shown is the two boxes of tissue cubes I made PITA buy herself ’cause I’m tired of her being too lazy to keep a larger & cheaper box in her own room instead of wiping out the pathetic few in those cubes.

Okay, PITA and I went back with a stack of inserts, prepared to do battle (figuratively) with the Dollar Tree registers.  The Pumpkin Spice Cheerios coupons had to be manually overridden, but there was a zip-thru line for the Fillows (both flavors) coupon (the other 2/$1 GM coupon from 1/5 S).  Between the time of my earlier post and return visit, someone bought all the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros 🙁

While there’s a possibility of a 2/$2 coupon in tomorrow’s SmartSource, I don’t know how the Dollar Tree registers will work if it shows up.  I have to say, though, that these are right up there with the Oreos Most variety for health benefits.

If you’ve seen these on YouTube videos or other sites, they’re really neat, but for $15.99?  I don’t THINK so.  But for a buck at Dollar Tree, I’ll take a couple, thank you.  I’d make more egg salad if the whole peeling the shell weren’t such a pain.  You can also use them to make scrambled eggs with stuff added (cheese, bacon, etc.) and presto – instant breakfast tacos!

I was also looking for the Cake Boss line that larger Dollar Trees have carried – check out your location for deals on whatever they sold for full price.  I was looking to stock up on spatulas, etc., but no luck 🙁

The 50¢ Puffs coupon in the June P&G beeps at the register, but it was pushed through without any comment because it’s obviously the correct product.  Your store might take a different coupon approach 🙁

Needed to mail a CHECK, so figured I’d get an envelope + stamp at the post office – 50¢ for one envelope!  So naturally I later went to Dollar Tree where I found these boxes of Schiff Digestive Aid which pair nicely with the $1 coupon in the 5/12 S.  No beeping, but the expiration date is 5/2019, so buy and donate if it’s not something you’ll use.  This stuff is $11.99 at Walgreens.com.
