The THIRD dollar store

The opening of a third dollar store in Taylor has brought mixed emotions…
At first I thought how much more ghetto can we get than to have a third dollar in a town this small? Is it really necessary? Somehow it seemed to solidify how I feel about living here (not sure I belong)?

Then I embraced it. I am not a big city, high dollar shopper. I always go for the sale rack at any store. I love a good bargain. And I love Dollar Tree! It happens to be my favorite dollar store. Everything is really a dollar. I love going to Dollar Tree with Skye and it was right around the corner from my house in Tucson. So maybe Taylor won’t attract a Target, Costco, or Buffalo Exchange, but we have attracted the best dang dollar store around. And that’s something I think all of us in Taylor should be proud of.

Canyon and I had the opportunity of visiting Dollar Tree yesterday. Here are a few interesting and fun things about the store:

They have an abundance of gift wrapping supplies.
Lots of disposable Tupperware (or tuplewear as Gary calls it).
They sell pregnancy tests (not safe-but better than coming to the ER).
They have everything that you would need for a luau.
Lots of pool toys.
Board books.
Plastic baseball bat and ball that Canyon loves.
Cleaning Supplies.
Cards.
And the list goes on…

So if you are in Taylor, I invite you to visit the dollar wonderland, and just forget that we have two others down the street (I mean literally down the street, they are all within a mile of eachother).
