Hubby would no doubt disagree.
But he's wrong.
I don't smoke, don't do drugs, don't over drink...
No, Hubby thinks I'm addicted to something else.
In particular...
The place where dreams come true. |
This is our local dollar store, just a short walk from our house. It's called Dollarama - or as I like to call it: "Heaven". Okay, so maybe I have a slight problem. But I can stop any time I want. Really.
I just don't want to.
It's GREAT! And it offers so much more than just items for a buck or two. It's an outing for myself and the boys when we don't have plans and when they're getting a little a lot stir crazy at home, doing stuff like splatter-painting the walls of their office...
Yes, thanks to Pinterest, the boys have their own office |
...thus making me look like this:
If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em |
"Let's go to the dollar store" always brings cheers from the boys and a stop to any mischief they were up to while I was surfing the net cleaning the house.
And it's not all cheap crap! Well, some of it is and some of it I end up buying, but they very often get new, name brands of things for less than half the price of the toy store.
I figure it could be worse. I could have an addiction to a very expensive women's clothing store, but that would mean paying attention to my needs and let's face it, there's no time for that these days. (Something I'm working on)
No, we'll keep going. When the staff start to know my name, then I'll think about maybe changing my ways.
Maybe.
I'm not making any promises.

hahaha I love that store too. The only problem is I wind up throwing out most of the stuff I buy from there :( And yet....I keep going back! ;) hehe

I know...I try to keep to the better quality stuff that won't break the minute you walk out the door. And bins...I'm kind of a geek for bins!
You have it all wrong...when they get to know your name they set all of the new stuff aside for you before the rest of the world can get their hands on it. I think you need to go more! ;-)
Oh, Kristen...you are so right! Why didn't I think of that? Too enamoured by all the Easter stuff, I guess!
I can spend forever in there. I find myself saying "OMG they sell this here? And it's only a dollar!!" I'll go in for one thing and come out with seven bags.
It's ridiculous.
I think they pump crack through their vents.
LOL! That's probably exactly what they do! I love it when I get something name brand so cheap! Maybe I should get a part-time job there...
This is first time I have heard of Dollarama. Is some sort of thrift store?
Nope, not a thrift store...a store where "almost" everything is $1, $2 at the most. Some stuff is crap, but you can get some decent stuff as well. :)
