They sell Pregnancy tests @ tha dollar store? I never knew that. I need to pick up a few...dozen

You nasty

The batteries at dollar stores aren't bad, they're the only reason why I go to such stores. They're also brand name like Panasonic

99 cent store sells both colored condoms and pregnancy tests next to each other at the register

i wouldn't trust a dollar store pregnancy test..let alone condoms :|

well i'm gonna keep on buying their batteries and medicine. works for me so...i see no problems

anyhoo, 99 Cent Only Stores RULE

I wouldn't trust plates from the dollar store unless they were paper.

I like this article. I use dollar stores all the time, does the trick for cleaning supplies and little things I need around the house.
