Buy a Name Brand Scientific Calculator For Only $1!!!

99 Cents store or the Dollar Tree store offers an abundance of products we normally get at K Mart, Target, Walgreens, or Wal-Mart for no more than a dollar! Some of you may consider their products to be inferior, but that's not necessarily the case. I've found fresh produce (blueberries, raspberries, bananas, apples, garlic), known and loved candies such as chocolate (Baby Ruth, Hershey's, Kit Kat, Milk Way, Snickers, Twix) and other candies (Fun Dip, Mamba, Nerds, Pop Rocks, Sour Belts, Starburst, Sugar Daddy) to just name a few. Heintz and Hidden Valley are also common brands. I'm a die hard when it comes to the right ketchup or ranch dressing. But there are some ingredients where the brand doesn't matter much such as canned tomatoes, coconut flakes, seasoning salt, etc. that are also available. You can also find Oscar Meyer ham. Caution: I recommend staying away from products that don't offer an expiration date. This applies to any place, though. I still haven't convinced you? What about Colgate, Glade, Lysol, Sally Hansen, Totally Juicy, and Windex brand products? I know someone who found the Texas Instrument scientific calculator valued at around $50 for only a $1! For binder papers, folders, and stuff like that, you can go for the cheap stuff. It's all the same. It's definitely worth investigating. Go there. If it's not your thing, then go elsewhere. I like to stay away from their generic brands because I don't know if it'll work well or not, so I go for the tried and true versions. If you want to experiment with new products, don't go overboard. Spending $5 on five products you'll never use isn't money well spent. You're better off buying one product that you actually use.
