I’ve had some generally lousy luck with Dollar General clothing, mostly because it often runs small. I tried a pair of jeans, for example, that were too tight to be wearable. I also tried a pair of slip-on shoes, that, sadly enough, were also too tight. I’ve worn the same jeans size and shoe size…
A while back, I found myself in a dollar store when I stumbled upon a collection of frozen sandwiches. They were labeled Fast Bites, and they were priced at $1 each. I’m not unfamiliar with the idea of microwaveable frozen sandwiches; my family sometimes gets a case of the White Castle variety. I was intrigued…

However, the last time I went, I stumbled on a Dollar General branded Barbie knockoff. I have the Dollar Tree doll as well, so I thought it would be interesting to compare the…

I started gardening as a hobby when I was in high school. My family had a small square patch lined with red pavers in the backyard where my mom usually planted a few annual flowers each year. I expanded it until it was doubled in size and grew everything from flowers (cosmos, bachelor buttons, and…
I’ve mostly had bad luck with store brand shoes. I’ve had fails with both Target and Walmart footwear, and only marginally better luck with non-name brand department store shoes. When it comes to what I put on my feet, more often than not, I get what I pay for. In that context, buying shoes from…
