Coca-Cola is my favorite soft drink. I’ve always been a fan of the taste, and while I don’t drink it often, it’s fabulous to have on special occasions. I like it best out of the fountain, but I’ll take bottles and cans, too. I also don’t mind taking other colas as a substitute. Pepsi is…

One of my pet projects has been trying different brands of peanuts. My favorite peanuts are the roasted salted peanuts in a shell, but in the absence of those, dry roasted peanuts in a plastic container are fine. (Honey roasted peanuts are okay, too.) Dollar Tree sells a little bit of everything, including dry roasted…
Dollar Tree keeps food throughout the store, including candies, snacks, and even some frozen stuff. There are also some dry goods, including the staple of processed food, macaroni and cheese. Our Dollar Tree keeps some of the name brand Kraft stuff, but it also stocks a couple of variations of generic mac and cheese, too….
