Dollar Days

So...we all know how the scenario: your walking through a store at a casual pace when all of a sudden you see a certain item. But this isn't just any item at all...no hooo people not at all. Cause when you see this item, your heart skips a beat, you get all nervous and giddy, and you are pretty certain you've experienced whats referred to as "love at first sight."

....and then that horrid, god-forsaken moment comes when you actually look at the price tag and your betrothed, desired item is WAAYYYY out of your financial reach. This moment can only be depicted as a Greek tragedy times one million. It's like finding out that Santa Clause dosn't exist of that the Tooth Fairy forgot you this year. Been there many a time and it kinda feels like....

So I decided to do my first post (in quite some time I might mention....yikes) on some items that are more than affordable and won't ever, evah leave you with a broken heart. These items, folks, are either $1.00 or less. Better still, they are some of my favorite quality buys with reviews. Enjoy!!!!!

WHAT:"LA Brand Oxy Clean
WHERE:Dollar Tree

In short, this knockoff version of the leading brand "Oxy Clean" is an excellent laundry additive. Add it to your white loads, especially to end up with MUCH refreshed towels, tee shirts, of bath rugs. For one dollar it beats the alternative by about five dollars PLUS it lasts for about 2-3 months depending on frequency of use!

WHAT:Paperbook novels
WHERE:Goodwill

As an avid reader, most bookworms like me discover that their healthy habit can get quite costly.However, Goodwill offers used paperback books like these from well-known authors at affordable rates. Try 99 cents per book on for size! I hit up the local Goodwill here almost every weekend looking for new paperbacks to browse. Considering most other books cost betweent $7-$10 dollars, these prices are a true steal!

WHAT: False Eyelash Strips and Glue
WHERE:Target

As previously mentioned in earlier posts, I love me some false eyelashes!!! I think it really helps that glamorous look for a night-time look for all women. However, paying $4-5 dollars for most women each time they go out isn't really financially savvy. But, imagine you pay one dollar per pack of lashes AND glue and BAM you've just paid for one MONTH of Saturday date nights what you would have paid elsewhere in one day. Also a fun fact, I have now had the chance to test several ELF products and let me tell you---they really are all winners. I especially like the Makeup fix which contains aloe and keeps your makeup in place all night! For three bucks per bottle, you can't beat it. I'll probably be doing a post on my favorite drugstore makeup SOON!

Ta for now readers and I hope you have a chance to invest a few bucks and find out for yourself how great these dollar buys are :)
