Like many kids from the era, I’d grown up watching Transformers on television, which means I’d also grown up acquiring a lot of them, Autobots and Decepticons alike,…
On April 14, 2022, Dollar Tree issued a recall for over 1 million hot glue guns due to fire and burn hazards. The Crafter’s Square Glue Gun were sold in the United States and Canada. Both Dollar Tree and its subsidiary Family Dollar sold the glue guns at different times between 2020 and 2022. This…
A while back, I reviewed the Dollar Tree Fashion Doll, and I thought that was it. But recently, I stumbled upon outfit packs made by the same brand to fit the doll I already had. These instantly reminded me of Barbie Fashion packs, so I picked a couple of them to check out. All of…

I got two of the sets, one of them the 10-Pack Farm Animals, and one the 10-Pack Dogs/Cats. These cost $1.25 each, as…
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…
