    Buying groceries at the dollar store is almost top of my list now. Specially for dry goods, and snacks. I'm a big snacker, so the options are great there, both healthy and junk.

    Dollar store tends to convivence price items. Things like small snack bag or beef rav can actually be more expensive there over regular stores. Some food for thought if you plan to pick food on a budget. Dollar might be in the name, but doesn't always mean its a deal.
