What a Buck Buys: Day 14

Today I got to go on an adventure in shopping. It is called 'Dollaring'.

Everything is $.99 at Cheryl's favorite pastime. 'Dollaring' is going to a variety of stores around Tucson where everything in the store is one dollar or less. The challenge is to get nice and useful things, and not just junk. I was amazed at how many 'dollar' stores there are in Tucson. There are likely at least 100. Tucson has big malls, but almost every block is also a strip mall.

Tucson is also very spread out. The people who live up in the mountains get to have a great view of the entire city and stars. Closer to town it is more congested.

Cheryl lives inside the city limits, but on the edge enough to have nice views.

Dollaring is an adventure because you end up traveling quite a distance to get to all the stores. I couldn't figure out what I wanted so I bought some powder to absorb Rocky's urine that he seems to want to share with everyone...everywhere. :)

This is the store closest to us that has some good stuff to get. Cheryl let me ride in the cart and the staff liked me so much, they wanted to offer me a job!
