Me too, but I told a fellow book lover in my family about it the other day and she said I must be the only one because she never finds anything that interests her. I thought I would see if there were more people who loved to go to dollar tree to see what they have. Their stuff might not be brand new, but I really love finding good books there.

I have! Most recently, I picked up “Honolulu” which is on my TBR list. Dollar General is also a good place to find $1 books, too!

I buy all of my greeting cards there. A lot less than regular stores.

I was mainly talking about books, but I find a lot of other good deals there too. My favorite pens, i have only been able to find them there, and I dread the day that I can’t find them anymore.

The Dollar General near me always has a few hard covers for $3. I don’t know how much the paperbacks cost though.

Read a book about a man who accidentally killed one of his classmates years ago. From Dollar General now reading Dinner With the Smiley’s. Father deployed so mom and three sons invite a different person once a month for dinner. U.S. Senator, police chief, boys teachers. Fun book.

I have on occasion. I bought a Nora Roberts, a few days later, my husband bought me another in the trilogy. It’s hit or miss, but I don’t complain for $1 each!

Yeah me too. I got one the other day and didn’t know it was book two until I got home, but they have the other one on bookoutlet so I am hoping to get book one soon.

They didn’t have them in the one I was at, but it could just be that I missed them.

I think they get their books from overstock at bigger stores. That’s what I was told me someone who works at my closest one. If I find a good one, but it is book two or something, I try to look on bookoutlet. Found one of them the other day on there for $0.49 so I got the second one, altogether the two books cost me about three bucks when you factor in taxes.
