A dollar here. A dollar there. Before you know it, you could dollar yourself right out down to nothing left with not much to show for it. Not so if you frequent the Best of winner, the Dollar Tree where “Everything’s $1.00,” according to the Kelly green letters adorning the storefront. For us Jacksonians, it’s all about m-o-n-e-y in the p-o-c-k-e-t. Check out the Yellow Pages at Yahoo, and you’ll find four Dollar Trees in Jackson and three more in the metro area. Unless your favorite, or closest, dollar store is Fred’s or Dollar General, you’ll know right where to head when you need picture frames, soda pop, DVDs, jigsaw puzzles, calendars, school supplies, pretties to set or hang around your home, duct tape, toys, paper towels, coloring books, you name it.

Give my son a couple of dollars, and he’s Monkey Warbucks. The Dollar Tree is great because the math is simple. Mommy, how much is this? Umm … a dollar? Pick up a laundry basket or a garbage can at The Dollar Tree and then scour the aisles for dorm room accessories. Think scrubby sponges, games and desk supplies. Grab some ribbon and wrap it up like a red convertible for the graduates at church or in the neighborhood.
Monkey prefers Dollar General simply because they carry the “collection” toys. He loves those toy sets that have a doctor’s kit or the play money. Dollar General also stocks our favorite junk food: Twizzlers, Junior Mints and Lemon Heads.
