$0.99 Stores

A feeding ground for poor quality and excessive quantity--most would agree the preceding phrase would define the horrid advent of the 99 cent store. I , on the other hand, will offer a more fitting definition, as a haven providing variety at a cost suitable for all income levels. Where else can you for $8.53 get 6 plastic reusable container, toilet paper, a table clothe, and honey? It is true many of these establishments use the "off-the-back-of -the-truck" method to supply their stores, but who doesn't use a little exploitation these days? I am not condoning wrong-doing or negative activities, but I am condoning in every which way the use of a more thrifty means to get the things we need. We all now that the toilet paper I buy from the 99 cent store works in the same fashion as the toilet paper from Waldbaum's. It might be a bit better excluding the fact you can buy 4 rolls for a measly 89 cents, which is always a plus. My passion for a good 99 cent store goes beyond toilet paper and table clothes to the point that the 99 cent stores around the nation, or even the world (yes, I know little extreme), are the actuation of thriftiness in physical form.
