I almost missed posting. I had thought about it earlier, transferred some phone photos to my google account so I could upload them and after talking to my son tonight I shut down my computer so I could go to bed. I then remembered that I had forgotten to write my post.
I went for my walk this morning. It was still cold but a little warmer than it has been - almost freezing lol. After the walk I ran some errands. I did end up going to the dollar store. I wanted to pick up some wrapping paper, tape and a few cleaning supplies that I was running low on. I ended up buying a bunch of snacks for stockings and spent more than I had thought! Still, the prices are better than other places. At least for now! I hear that the dollar store will no longer be selling things for a dollar. 😲 How crazy is that? There starting price will be 1.25. Maybe they will be changing their name to 'Nothing for a dollar' store. It doesn't sound like a lot but that is a twenty-five percent increase!! When you think of it like that it is a lot. I would like to see them keep some items for a dollar and have other items that are a little more.
MIL and I have decided to take tomorrow off Jane's. Neither one of us got done the things we wanted to get done today. I think it will give us both a chance to catch up a little. I don't have any errands to run tomorrow so after my walk I can come home and get started on some things on my list!
A couple of Christmas-y photos today. My Christmas mug - I think I got this at the dollar store last year!
And a pretty bad lighting photo of a card I made today. I have to do better at my photos here. I am tending to post a lot that I take on my phone. I really need to take the time to take a better photo. Sigh.
Cute mug and cute card, too. All my photos are cell phone photos! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to our dollar stores, here, but, even before the pandemic, quite a few items they were selling were priced more than a $1!
Thanks! I rushed on the photos. I shall try to do better. I heard the dollar stores had already raised their prices above a dollar. I think it depends on where you live.
DeleteI've noticed that my recent comments haven't appeared on your posts but want you to know that I have posted some. I think blogger is playing up just lately as you aren't the only place I've posted comments that haven't appeared... Love that little festive mug. It's a nice reminder of the season. x
ReplyDeleteOh no! I hate it when blogger glitches - see how frustrated I was when I couldn't post photos! I thought the mug was worth getting out.
DeleteOver here Poundland has become "Poundland, but some things cost more to trick you at the till!"
ReplyDeleteI remember that. I had to keep checking the price on the shelf as some things were more
DeleteWe are expecting 12" of snow through tomorrow...so, I'm going to finish decorating, post a few lots on my selling group, bake something?? I know that doesn't sound like it, but that's actually a "break" for me...ahahaha
ReplyDeleteYikes! I hope a lot of it is cleared away before next weekend. We are hoping to go to daughter's for a long weekend over her birthday (19th). Stay safe and warm! That sounds like an ultra busy day for a day off!
DeleteI love the snowman mug, and thank you for reminding me to get my Christmas mugs out and start using them.
ReplyDeleteYou did well at Jane's house yesterday so I think you've earned a day off. Good luck in catching up with your own Christmas preparation. xx
Thanks! I hope you post some of your mugs. Mine is pretty plain lol.
DeleteOur £1 shops no longer exist. Poundstretchers has lots of different prices and the same with poundland although there are quite a lot of £1 items. Some of them have reduced in size though.
ReplyDeleteI think that changing size is used just to trick us lol. I think I'll see and compare. I might still go the dollar store but maybe not quite as often.
