  1. Our Dollar Tree doesn't carry bread but I've been getting the good whole wheat bread for 1.29 at the discount bread store. I will keep checking DT though. Our DT moved into a bigger store so I thought they might start having more grocery type items.

  2. Are those the Tuf bags at Walgreen's you're talking about? I got some kitchen size ones for free a while back and was quite pleasantly surprised at how sturdy they are!

  4. Rachel- yes, the Tuf brand bags are what I buy. I have no idea why I thought they were Walgreens brand, I guess because I always buy them there.
    The big lawn and leaf size works great too.
