Dollar Store

[CMG1]

Hi all,

I found the greatest buys at my local dollar store, great for disney trips:

Rain Ponchos - They are really light weight and come two in a pack!
Glow Sticks - They have a huge variety and are only a dollar!
Plastic Shower caddy - Great buy, its a light weight and easy to tuck into your suit case. I always find that the showers in hotels just don't have any space for all my shower products.

What items do you like picking up from your local dollar store for your disney trips?

I love the dollar store. We are staying at the Poly and I found some great Hawaiian decorations for the door and window at our dollar store. I also bought a ton of glow sticks. I still have to go get the ponchos though. Love your idea about the shower caddy. My husband will flip when I put more stuff in our suitcases because it already looks like we are going somewhere for a month! I kept buying things that I found on this board. Anyway, I just had to voice my opinion about the dollar store.

I am a dollar store junkie too. I definately have on my list the glo sticks. How many did you get in a pack? We have a store here called Five Below and they have a tube of 100 for (you guessed it) $5.00. We just had a big tube for the 4th. it takes about two to make a necklace. I only have 2 kids so that should last the entire week. LOL ! I like the shower caddy idea, and if the suitcase is too full with all the great buys in Disney, then you just leave it there for the taking or garbage. I know that I was going to see what kinds of Disney stickers and stuff they had. We drive down so I want to make a little Pre Disney bag for the road.

Thanks for sharing. Anyone else have any great dollar store finds ???

I only got 10 glo sticks in a pack for a dollar - looks like your getting a better deal - but the upside is that either way its way cheaper than buying them in the parks.

I just bought a bunch of Disney stickers this past weekend. I plan to decorate my mousekeeping envelopes with them.


Thanks for your comments and great ideas!!

Wow. That's funny- I just bought 2 of those poncho packs with Disneyland in mind last week. I went to turn in some books my son forgot to turn in to school (rode my bike) and also visited BI-Mart, Joannes Crafts and the Dollar Tree, since they are the closest bargain stores near me. They also had some of those microfiber towels- the kind that dry you hair quickly so I got one for me and one for a gift for daughter. Seems I'm going to be visiting these stores more often since I can ride my bike.
