Victorious at the Dollar Store

No date night for me tonight.  My EC went to one of those RS crafty nights to make crafty stuff. And eat.

I was left home with the boys, so we went and ate pancakes because I had been craving them all day. After, we hit the Dollar Store. Why? Because it is always an affordable adventure at the Dollar Store.  And tonight was no exception.

I bought several things, left several for some other lucky customer.  Here is the rundown:

Sugar Babies

I had seen these before, but never tried them. They scream “Autumn,” so I bought a box. They are actually pretty good. If your teeth can handle them. They have that extremely fake green apple taste which is necessary in candy.

energy

 

For those days when 5 hours of energy for $3 is just not enough.  $1 for 14 hours! I imagine if I drank a couple of those I would be as jittery as a bunny visiting a daycare center. I passed on these.

Mustache

 

I absolutely did not buy these.  I am merely posting them to celebrate that this mustache trend has quickly descended to the dollar store level of pop culture. It should be gone soon. Hallelujah!

And this, this is the BOMB:  HIS AND HERS VOODOO DOLLS. Seriously!

Dolls

 

One for you, one for your spouse. Find a pin, and get to work improving your marriage. (I can’t even imagine how jealous you all must be.)

Let’s say that your husband comes home from work, and you are too exhausted to even consider making dinner. Simple! All you do is take a pin, and start poking it the Voodoo Doll where it says…

Male Doll

…Make dinner. After a few stabs, he will have the idea that he turn off the TV and head to KFC.

Other options include:

“Listen to Me”

“Pick Up Your Clothes”

“Clean the House”

“Buy Me Jewelry”

“Rub My Feet”

“Wash the Dishes”

“Mow the Lawn”

 

And men, Imagine you have had a really tough day, and your aching back could really use some tender attention. Find a needle, and get busy!

Woman DollOther options include:

“Stop Nagging”

“No More Shoes”

“Let’s Get Pizza”

“Dishes Don’t Do Themselves”

“No More Purses”

“Let’s Watch Sports”

Why didn’t I think of these! Of course there is a possibility that they don’t work as advertised, or they would sell them at Sharper Image for $900, instead of at the Dollar Store, for a dollar.

 

Oh, there is one more thing that I did not purchase, even though Christmas will be here before you know it.  Sure he’s cute, but I decided against buying Gassy Bear.

  1. Gotta love the gassy bear! As a grandmother, I would have thought of ‘tumbling bear’ but, having 3 sons and 6 grandsons, ‘gassy bear’ wold have been pointed out to me by at least one of them! I would have ‘passed’ too. Hehehehe…

  2. It’s always so interesting to get a glimpse of the male mind. And generally a glimpse is more than enough.

  3. You would LOVE the 100 Yen Store. It’s like the dollar store on steroids. It’s about half awesome stuff you’ve never heard of (but can’t live without)…and half ridiculous stuff…but with funny, English translation fails thrown in. I’ve been known to buy some things just for that last part alone.

Add your 2¢. (Be nice.)
