That's where my mom buys a lot of Christmas presents. It's nice to know that they're upscale. :) Ah, the dollar store. That’s where my mom buys a lot of Christmas presents.

Original cost of rooms: $6 and $8, respectively. I guess it makes for a better name than "The Inflation-Adjusted Motel." Any idea why Motel 6 and Super 8 have those names?

My mother makes her own with that plastic lacey stuff they sell at the dollar store by the yard. She also washes out plastic bags, saves twist ties and string, etc. Tupperware is too foo foo, she saves every plastic and glass container that comes her way. Gotta love them. Please!

I know perfectly well the depression era thinking that you mention. One elderly woman I knew for years colleceted and saved plastic tubs and lids like margarine and sour cream containers. She must have had a couple thousand in her garage and would not throw any away because they were still good and too good to throw away.. This one has me rolling!

For those of you believing roosters only crow at the crack of dawn, I'll break it to you gently... they crow all the time and the dollar store is filled with items that cost 5 dollars. (along with some dollar items- otherwise there might be a lawsuit, but I bet theres some dollar loophole that would allow them to keep the name, raise the prices as long as they did not charge in a different form of currency like the yen.) the dollar store has turned into a scam.
