$5 Friday — Dollar Store Smiles Edition

When will the snow ever end??? I don’t know about you guys, but all this whiteness and being cooped up in the house for far too long was enough to drive us all a little coo-coo. So this afternoon I took Emily with me to the dollar store for another $5 Friday adventure! This time we focused on only buying items that made us smile.

We learned many things along the way! For example, did you know that curling ribbon makes for excellent pig tail holders?
Or that a five year old can fit one candy lollipop ring on each finger?
I think these shoelaces are AWESOME! But it wasn’t until much later that Mark pointed out to me that they glow in the dark! Now I think they are even MORE AWESOME!
Of course, we love flowers of all kinds! These bunches of fake flowers even had fake butterflies on them.
Blowing bubbles is always fun, but we managed to find fruit-scented ones that were even more fun! (Although I don’t think they would taste very good at all.)
Here’s the breakdown for how we spent our $5 today:
Curling Ribbon (3 pack) = $1.00
Shoelaces = $1.00
Lollipop Rings (6 pack) = $1.00
Fake Flowers = $1.00
Scented Bubbles (3 pack) = $1.00
Total Spent = $5.00!!
Having a fun “snow” day with my girls = Priceless!!
