The Dollar Store is the Best Place for Easter Supplies

If you are interested in decorating your home for Easter at a low cost, I recommend checking out dollar stores, such as the Dollar Tree.  Dollar stores offer a number of low-budget Easter and spring decoration items.  Aside from decorating your home for Easter, you can find perfect toys, candy, and items for Easter baskets.  Of course, the best part is... everything is just $1!

Some of the great items you can purchase for Easter at the dollar store are:

Easter garland
Small Easter baskets
Easter buckets
Pinwheels
Plastic eggs
Small stuffed animals
Plastic grass for baskets
Toys
Snowglobes
Egg dye
Candy
Chocolate bunnies
Easter welcome signs for doors
And much, much more!

Many of the Easter items available at the dollar store are pretty decent.  Some of the stuffed animals look slightly mutant-like, but other than that, a lot of the products are super cute.  You can find Easter items you never even knew existed, like camouflage plastic eggs.  I highly recommend taking a trip the dollar store this year for Easter supplies.

St. Patrick's Day Shopping at Target

If you want to buy some St. Patrick's Day items, I would recommend visiting Target in the very near future.  Currently, Target has an interesting assortment of St. Patrick's Day products in the dollar bins.  Why bother paying $5 - $10 for fun St. Patrick's Day stuff when you can pay only $1 for items like necklaces, socks, and headbands?  You can even get a St. Patrick's Day hat for a relatively low price in the same section.

Don't worry if you are not Irish.  Not all the items in the St. Patrick's Day dollar bins are for Irish folks.  Some products specifically state things like "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" and others are for anyone that just wants to celebrate the holiday.

If you really want to party this St. Patrick's Day, don't wait the last minute for tacky green party items.  Make sure to visit Target this month to get tacky stuff for just one dollar a piece!
