Tyler Dollar Tree

January 13th, 2010

Tyler Dollar Tree is located on Hwy 64 right across from the Wal Mart shopping center. I love Dollar Tree because everything in there is a dollar. Yes that is what I said a dollar. So there have been many times when I only had about $5 – $10 dollars to my name and went in there and walked out feeling rich because I found a lot of the things I needed just for a buck. They have a variety of stuff anywhere from children’s toys, books, housewares, body care stuff, food and many other things.

The exciting part is that everything is just a dollar and of course the things you find in there are not fancy but practical. The quality is good enough that sometimes people don’t even know that you got it at the dollar store. At the beginning of a school year lots of people don’t have much money to spend on their children. You can go there and find the school supplies that your children needs to get their school year started right. Your children won’t have to feel left out because all the other kids have what they need.

Just the other day I went in there and bought mechanical pencils and erasers for school that I needed for myself. Another time I had a school project and needed some things for it that I did not have to be able to finish the project that I had for school. I walked in the Dollar Tree and walked out with the things that I needed and it only cost me around $5 dollars.

When you are broke you can’t beat that price. There are a lot of other dollar stores in Tyler, Texas. One is located close by where the post office is and another one on Broadway going towards the mall on the other side of the street. All of these stores have different things to offer. Some have better quality than others. I know that some dollar stores have a section that costs more for some of the items that they offer but for the most part everything it is just a dollar and only certain sections cost around $5 dollars.

The Dollar Store that is located by the post office is larger than the one on 64 and they have a better variety of stuff because it is larger than Dollar Tree located on 64. They have stuff for you to work on scrap booking if you are into that kind of stuff which I am. Also I know that most of the stuff you need to buy to have a nice scrap book costs way more than a dollar per item. The Dollar Store is a nice place for you to go get the things you need to start working on your scrap booking or if you have already started working on it and you need to put the finishing touches on it.

The Dollar Store probably has almost whatever you need and you don’t have to pay an arm and a leg for it. This particular Dollar Store also has nice children’s books, nice picture frames, beautiful greeting cards and all kinds of other neat stuff. The only things is that these are the items that cost a little more because they are better quality than some of the other stuff and this Christmas I even dropped in and made some last minute Christmas shopping. But it will be our little secret.

For real I loved what I bought there and you could not tell it was from the Dollar Store. Besides I have heard it said that its the thought that counts. Right? So if you are on a tight budget like me, then just drop in and let loose because it won’t matter anyways because it’s all just a dollar!

Tyler Big Lots

January 12th, 2010

We have two locations in Tyler TX for Big Lots, one is off of Beckham and the other towards the mall. I love going to Big Lots because they have everything you could possibly need or want and the prices for the most part are reasonable, especially if you are looking for movies. Big Lots is the place because it’s the cheapest I have ever seen anywhere. They have movies ranging anywhere from $3 to $10 dollars. The new releases are the ones that cost a little more or if you find a series, that usually costs a little more. I once bought the series, Life Goes On, and I paid $4 dollars for it. That is just an example of the things that you can find there.

I also found little Christmas ornaments for a little tree that I have. They have food, clothes, personal needs, bedding, some furniture and many more things. I could not even start to list everything at Big Lots even if I wanted to because they have so many categories of things to buy there. The service for the most part is good. It is a place where if you are looking for a store where you could find some inexpensive gifts for someone, then I would suggest going to Big Lots. It is always a convenient thing to have a Big Lots around. Big Lots is usually surrounding other stores.

The store off of Beckham is next to the General Dollar Store and the Shoe Warehouse. The other one that is close to the mall on the South side is located by Michael’s, Pet Land, Dollar Store, and a Chinese Restaurant. You could definitely take a whole day to experience the bargains available at Big Lots. You would have your shopping, entertaining and food done all in one place.
