Last month, I started a fun little series called,
Where you get to have a glimpse into the things that this Dollar Store expert is buying.
So, want to see what's in my cart this month?
I usually buy my make up at garage sales.
Seriously.
During the summer, I can almost always find a Mary Kay salesperson selling off her makeup dirt cheap.
I've actually been using some Mary Kay concealer that I bought three years ago!
My guess is, they discontinued that particular concealer because the packaging held too much and people weren't running out.
Well, I finally ran out.
And I got a zit.
So, I headed to the second best place to get my makeup, the Dollar Store.

I picked up some concealer and some lipstick with built in lip gloss.
My youngest son loves our Jacuzzi tub.
He takes a bath every day and usually snorkels while in the tub.
Not joking.
He goes through a lot of shampoo.
I love the Breck kids 2 in 1.
He's a boy. It works.
I cook from scratch a lot.
I like to use fresh ground pepper but when I have a recipe that requires more than a teaspoon, I go with the black pepper already ground up.
If you buy spices at the Dollar Store, just read the label.
Make sure you are getting what is in the bottle and nothing extra.
I don't want to buy black pepper with anything added.
The label says black pepper, so I buy that.
Seems legit.

I also buy most of my wax paper and freezer paper at garage sales.
I think this may be the first time in my whole adult life that I have actually purchased wax paper from an actual store.
I buy more storage bags from the Dollar Store.
Sure you can tell they aren't the ziploc brand, but I'm not paying twice as much for them now am I?
They do the trick.
I love these cello bags for packaging things.
I used them for packaging brownies for a bake sale.
They worked great.
