Dollar Plus

Went in yesterday looking for the $ 1 reading glasses I used to buy there .the price is now 8.99 and you get 2 for the price of one.

It’s funny I always see someone different but they always pop from under the front counter, cracks me up, sort of like a creepy/​funny slasher movie!
Anyway the store is ok, has some great finds and munchies!

I used to work down the street from Dollar Plus, and I love it. Personally, I don’t know how a «dollar store» could win rave reviews, but it was an awesome place to go in the afternoon for a take-​back-​to-​your-​desk snack (as well as the occasional craptacular gift for someone). Thumbs-​up from me.

My mom was frugal (not cheap, frugal) and used to take me with her to something similar when I was a young tot of 27 (Just kidding) living in West Seattle. If you’ve never been to a Dollar Store, you have to go once for the experience. It’s amazing the variety of stuff they have there and most everything there is $ 1.00 or less before sales tax. There is a large variety of non-​name-​brand items so don’t go looking for Bayer brand aspirin. Here it’s probably from England and just called Arspirin. At any rate, perfectly good items with names I’ve never heard of; however, if you need hangers or a level or pliers or cup hooks or hose or binders, etc., and you need them in a pinch, this is the place to go. I bought a set of 4 or 5 heavy duty hammer-​in garage hooks for hanging pots and pans in our pantry. Total: $ 1.09 after tax. Just think of what you can buy for the price of a latte. It’s staggering!

Judging from the number of rave reviews about Value Village on this site, nobody better criticize me for getting gift wrap and gift bags at the Dollar Plus. Never pay full price for a gift bag. Go in here and take a hard left. They are along the walls. You can also get straws and off-​brand cleaning supplies here.

It’s a dollar store. But not everything is a dollar. «Everything is a dollar unless otherwise marked». It smells bad, but I found what I needed: three potato chip clips… one dollar. Never having to go back there again without a nose plug… priceless.
