I mainly shop at the 99 cent store (We have a bunch here!)

I buy cat toys.
Dog toys
They sell small cat litter boxes that I use for my rats as litter boxes.
Sometimes they have these fleece blankets (Decent size) in the baby section and I use those for the rat cages
Small plastic containers, baskets,etc that can be used as toys/hides for rodents.
Candy..love their candy section! lol
Holiday decorations (I mainly like decorating for Halloween!)
We buy bowls and cups if they are decent looking.
Their small candles, and decor type stuff.
Their small plants (love their litter plants! We have a couple that are huge now and in the backyard.
And whatever uneccasary things we end up getting lol

I will buy paper towels, wrapping paper, plastic spoons for kitty meals and that sort of thing there. Sometimes toys for my nephew. I wouldn't buy any kind of food or medication, etc. from Dollar Tree or those places though.

my best finds
*brand name cat toys
*cat bowls
*candle holders that made great elevated feeders--unfortunately they broke

*Toffeefay- my friend got me hooked...they are delish.

*Mike found clamps that are handy
*Method laundry detergent

*Dr Elsey's cat litter

I stocked up my new apartment with stuff from the dollar store! You can get WINE and produce at dollar stores!??! In the states, I gather? That'd be awesome.

Not one of my regular shopping spots but I do like to go for stuff to put in a pinata or for cheap prizes for children's games.

I often get things for around the house like lightbulbs, shower curtains, clothes hangers, etc. The local Dollar Stores also have DVDs of old made-for-TV movies and shows. Some of the TV show DVDs have original commercials included.
