Word. How is dollar store toilet paper? Is it really thin and flimsy and crappy? Or is it decent toilet paper?
I never bothered with dollar store toilet paper, because even if it's good quality, you only get 1 or 2 rolls for $1 at the dollar store around here. It's actually more expensive than buying from the grocery store.

I love buying all my paints and bits of string, glue, pipecleaners and other crafty stuff from the $2 store (Aussies version of the same thing). You get twice as much stuff to be creative with for 1/10th of the price of what you'd pay at an art store. I don't really know if there's any difference in quality because I always give away or throw out everything I make. Seems ok though.

For me art is about making it, the experience. I learned a long time ago to let go. Besides my musical instruments and books I have very few possessions.
edit: To try to explain: I learned the hard way. Well paying job, house full of expensive stuff and a worthless miserable life. I quit my job, sold and gave away everything and bought a plane ticket out of my misery, went to Europe. Everyone thought I had gone mad, couldn't believe I was breaking this thing I had built around me. I still remember the looks on my friends faces when I was giving away my stuff. I've not been trapped like that again since. Different value system now.
Funnily enough the guy I sit next to at work did exactly the same thing, same realisation, except he came to Australia from Europe.

I've got a wife children now, they have piles of crap. I find it oppressive. I go around with garbage bags when they're not home and collect up all the stuff lying around that they won't miss and toss it out.

Closest I get to buying anything at a 'dollar'store is walmart. I buy bleach, contractor bags etc. that I use for my grows. I'll grab odds and ends I may need if I absolutely need something in the middle of the night.

I buy Brillo pads at the dollar store. I got a fuckton of em to make my freebase pipes. I ran out of DMT though so I haven't been useing the Brillo pads. They think I'm a crackhead now even though I use my crackpipe for deemz. Burning Brillo and putting it in a stem makes me feel like a crackhead though. I like weed and DMT better than Brillo pads and DMT but Brillo works better it tastes kinda nasty though.

I dunno where my mom buys her lipstick, but she over applies it so terribly that she looks like a sad, freaky clown Somebody needs to teach that woman how to paint face. You should see the lipstick stains she leaves on a margarita glass...... It's a tragicomedy. It's like that hippy chick muppet.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Haha yeah that's exactly it, bit I don't wear makeup on normal days- I'm too lazy and never really learned to apply it properly, so it's not worth spending a ton of money on just for silly gatherings.
Dollar store TP is indeed thin and flimsy. There are some thongs that are definitely worth spending more money on and TP is one of them.
I have bought cleaning supplies and rubbing alcohol there as well. Also candy. I'm afraid of most of their "food".
Pens and notebooks.

dollar stores around here, are more like tiny walmarts with a much smaller selection of many identical products at usually slightly lower prices. although there is a lot of cheap shit that is just junk. such as tools, folding lawn furnature, shoes ect.. lots of name brand perfectly good stuff at a good price. its just not as much of a one stop shop as some place like a walmart

I buy razers, toothpaste, toothbrushes, water, and packaged foods like bread and stuff. The 3 blade DG brand razers are actually pretty good.
