    FYI: those mason jars that hold tea candles also hold the volatile candles. They are great for heating up water or keeping your mug of coffee hot! Yes, the wax does melt inside the bottom, but I use that extra wax to make more candles! Cardboard Toilet Paper holders make great candle molds! I usually twist 2 cotton strings together for wicks and they are very bright!

      I bought one of those cotton string mop heads to use for candles wicks. At the time, I only paid 1.00 for the mop head, but now it would only be 1.25 and you would probably have hundreds of cotton wicks from just one. Great idea on using the toilet paper holders for molds.

    FYI-here in Houston,Tx…. I heard the clerk telling someone else at the store that the prices will be going up to $1.50 soon ,so it’s a really good time to stock up so may not have to go for a good while. I’m sure that’s what I’m gonna be doing on products that I buy constantly.

      When my shower liner gets yucky, I replace it with a new one but I wash the old one (could be reused in the shower in a pinch) and save it for other things. They come clean and a few minutes on low heat in the dryer makes them soft and pliable.

    Thanks Jinnie. We have a Grange that makes stocking and gift boxes for seniors in nursing homes or those who don't have family and asks for donations for Christmas and I always like to go to DT to get some of the scarves and gloves and other things that they have on their wish list like candy and the puzzle books. Wish our DT carries the headlamps, I don't think they have ever carried them but I keep looking! The sewing kits aren't the best quality, so I have found a similar size empty plastic box at DT and fill them with better quality thread, needles and so forth. They're handy for college students or anyone who needs a small kit but don't have space or need for lots of sewing supplies. I used the clear plastic drop cloths to put over garden beds in the early spring, they help "cook" any weeds that come up early and also help kill the weed seeds too.

    What a nice haul, Jinne! You always find such useful items & have great skills in sharing multiple uses of many things!
    Our DT stores do not have a lot of the finds at your stores. I have looked in vain for the wound care kits.... but for the fall our stores had 21 piece first aid kits in nice little tins. The tins are about 3-4" square, just over an inch deep & have a couple of gauze pads, tape & different sizes band aids. I am creating my own wound care kits by adding more tape, gauze pads & a roll of gauze, alcohol wipes, a tube of triple antibiotic & a tiny pair of scissors. I will be gifting a tin for my friends to keep in their cars.
    And I love the coffee filters! I use mine for drying & separating different seeds. If I am in a rush I can just write what the seeds are from on the filter, then layer several seed laden filters into the oven to dry. When finished, I just fold each filter & pop in an envelope until next planting season.
    Will definitely be looking for the soda can organizers. We are redoing a small bedroom into our deep food pantry. Those can organizers would make life much easier. I was going to use foamboard to make the " first in first out" can organizers, but those DT ones would get me started.
    And I will be looking for the men's gloves, too. Thank you again for taking the time to share.
    Blessings from NW Florida.

      I have only been able to find 2 of those wound kits here in TX and that was probably almost a year ago, when I found them. I keep looking for them. I did purchase two of those small first aid tins and gave one to my daughter. I never thought about putting seeds in the coffee filter a great idea, as usually I am using a plate, and paper towel. I do write on paper towel what my seeds are, while they are drying and then transfer them to a bag, after they have dried. We also turned a very small room into a walk in pantry.

    A book I like is "Poverty Prepping: How to Stock Up for Tomorrow when you can't Afford to Eat Today" by Susan Gregersen. This is a simple personal finance budget/plan laid out. It is household money tips. She does the food budget first, small steps first, such as going to the store with a list of only needed items, should one of your items be on sale put the difference between the sales price and regular price in a "milk money" jar. (instant gratification) After a while, that savings will allow you to purchase items not on your list but it is a brand you use and it is on sale, you put this money aside too, either when you purchase or as you use the products. I got this book because I worked with low income folks, it sounded good. I also used methods close to these to get out of student debt. This is so simple, some people complain to the author. Some people have a knack for managing pers. money. This is a "in the wrist" item, you have it or you don't. Some of us were taught through the years as kids. For people who do not know, this can be a game changer. This book is 70 pages and large print.

    I dont usually comment. But how would you use the pinapple with spam ? My son really likes spam. And would like to try to get him to eat more fruits and veggise too. I am also not the best cook, but am trying to get better at it! I enjoy your hauls! Thanks for sharing!

    Dollar tree is getting boring. A lot of the same stuff every time I have a shopping trip there. I have racked my brain on what I can use double duty……constantly looking for new stuff.
