Save With Dollar-Store Holiday Items -- Savings Experiment

Filed under: Holiday Shopping, Savings Experiment

The holidays are here, but you don't have to spend a lot on gifts and decorations. Shopping at the dollar store can help you save big on holiday essentials.

When it comes to Christmas cards, the dollar store is key. Shopping for greeting cards at the supermarket or pharmacy will cost you $5 or more for a measly few cards, but, if you shop at the dollar store, you can get more than 20 cards for a fraction of the price.

As for wrapping paper, you can typically find $1 rolls at the dollar store, while at big retail stores you might be paying almost three times as much. Wrapping paper is going to get ripped up and thrown out so why not pass the savings along to the gifts instead?

Finally, let's talk decorations. At the dollar store, you can find a 24-pack of Christmas ornaments, which is three times cheaper than other stores. Beyond decorating the tree, you can get a beautiful bow for your wreath for only $1 -- that's four times cheaper than what you would spend at big box stores.

This season, you can easily spread cheer without spending big bucks. Give these dollar store deals a try and see the savings for yourself.
