I once bought a tin of butter cookies. They were full of bugs.

EEEEEKKKKK!

Kay,
Thank you, dear, but it would be a miracle of medical science if I turned up preggers

Fern,
please don't buy a pregnancy test kit at the .99 store. If you need one I will buy it and send it to you express mail

I loved reading all of your great replies! When we fly to a timeshare destination, we try to locate the nearest Dollar store and load up on Ziploc bags, tinfoil, laundry soap, fabric softener, stuff like that to do us for the week. At the end of the vacation, we don't feel badly leaving it behind for housekeeping or tossing it out.

Yes, I do the same with the extra pregnancy tests. Keeps the housekeeping staff from getting into a tussle with the Rent a Kops

I was just at Dollar Tree just yesterday to buy 100 plates for a catering event Im doing. The store, in a not so upscale part of town, had a rent-A- cop walking around. I asked the checker why they needed him and she said, "theiving..especially EPT tests! I replied, Maybe its not such a good idea to get pregnant if you don't even have a dollar for a lousy test kit.

I spend 3 months in Palm Springs area each year. They have 99 cent only stores in Palm Desert and LaQuinta. The stores are fascinating. We do purchase fruit and vegatables there and the only problem we ever had was that one batch bananas stayed green. They were replaced immediately with no argument.

There is LOTS of dollar type stores - many in depressed areas, but the 99 cent only stores are different than the Dollar Tree, Dollar $tore, Dollar Store, Dollar Castle etc.

"There are over 251 99¢ Only Stores as of March 31 2007, with new stores opening all the time. We have locations in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Texas. 99 Cents Only (NYSE: NDN)."

Did you see her on the news? They made the front page of the local paper, too, with a picture of one of the babies, very cute. The mother has these new babies...and a 6yo, and a 29yo, and a 33yo. I saw a headline that said the 29yo was appalled.

I sure did......and I think she was on another show, too.

I would never go in one of their stores let alone buy anything.

Gee, and the ones in California sounded pretty nice, too. Ours definitely do not have fresh fruit and vegetables!
