You can always grab a nice 2017 calendar for only $1. Compare to about
$6 calendars in the grocery store.

Dollar Tree is a very cool store. My nearest is only about 2.5 miles but
still I rarely drive that far to shop. I don't like shopping much and I
really don't like stores that open later in the morning. I like to get
out shopping at 6am and not have to wait until 9 or 10 for stores to
open.

So far, only my usual grocery store opens that early. Then there is
Walmart which is open 24/7 here. I like Walmart but rarely go there as
it's about 9 miles away. In 6 months though, a new one will open only
1.5 miles away. I'll shop there often when it opens. I could shop there
at 5am then get to my grocery store by 6am. By 6:30, all my shopping
chores will be done. I'm looking forward to that.

Anyway... the Dollar Tree is a cool store. Each time you go there are
new things so it's always an up and down all aisles thing for me.





I went several months ago and loved it. I need to go more often
