"Dollar stores" abound in our town as I am sure they do in yours. While there are plenty of low-quality goods to avoid purchasing at all costs, you can also find great bargains. Our Dollar Tree offers workbooks and flash cards for preschool through 3rd grade. My oldest daughter fell in love with the Winnie-the-Pooh, Disney Princess, and Barbie Doll workbooks. There are also Bob the Builder books and flash cards for the boys, and although I can't remember the exact character, I know there are other popular-with-boys character workbooks. My daughter is currently working in the Winnie-the-Pooh Colors and Shapes, ABC's, and 1-2-3's books. If I were to purchase these workbooks elsewhere, I would certainly pay at least $4 per book, four times what I pay at Dollar Tree.
Where do you like to go to find bargains on educational materials?

I had forgotten about the My Little Pony books, and I didn't even mention the box of 3500 motivational stickers I saw. I love browsing there.
ReplyDeleteI do that, too. A dollar doesn't seem like much, but start multiplying items in your cart and see how quickly "just a dollar" can drain your bank account.
