The Dollar stores are located along my regularly travelled routes. No special
trips required.

From the current 8/25:9/2 fliers for both Family Dollar and Dollar General --

Household cleaners: Clorox | Tilex | Formula 409 : $2/16-22 oz

Bum fodder: Scott 1000 (12 roll pack) $8

Laundry liquid detergent: FAB 50oz 2/$3 | Arm & Hammer 175oz $10 | Purex 75oz 3

Cell Phones: Samsung Flip Phone $15 | Samsung Smarta$$ Phone $20

I barely care. I assume that Walkers still does Canadian Club, Maker's Mark and
Kahlua. So, who shivs a git what the latest fad or buzz is doing.
