Totino's Pizza Mini Review

If you are flat broke, you need to have Totino's pizza in the house.  If you are merely broke, you could splurge for Totino's pizza rolls.  These two items are really cheap ways to stretch a paycheck.  Plus, they taste pretty good.

If you buy some of these foods early in pay period, you'll at least have something to eat later in a pay period.  Obviously, man cannot live on Totino's pizza rolls.  If you eat them all the time, you'll get sick of them.  Plus, if you are what you eat, you might turn into a pizza roll.  However, it is always good to build up a food stash.  You'll need an emergency supply.

Totino's Pizzas only take 11 or 12 minutes to bake in the oven at 450 degrees and they usually hit the spot. I usually eat about 10 pizza rolls for a small meal.  These are great for lunch.

Dollar Tree Dental Hygiene

Dollar Tree is the best place to buy tooth brushes, tooth paste, and dental floss.  They have well-respected brand name products like Reach tooth brushes and Colgate tooth paste.  They also have Pluckers floss tooth picks and dental floss.  I've also gotten good deals on mouth wash.  We picked up this Colgate toothpaste as part of our last Dollar Tree Haul!

Colgate Toothpaste from Dollar Tree
If you are on a tight budget, you need to take care of your teeth and avoid cavities.  If you brush, floss, and get your teeth cleaned at a dentist on a regular basis, you may avoid more expensive dental work.

Big Savings From Our Dollar Tree Haul

We're kicking off the new year by talking about our most recent Dollar Tree haul.  There are three ways to save money when buying merchandise.  First, you can save money at conventional stores by shopping sales and using coupons.  Second, you can save money by buying in bulk and paying a lower unit price per item.  Third, you can buy minimal quantities that you'll actually use at predictable prices that fit into a tight budget.  Dollar Tree fulfills this third path to saving money splendidly.

A $55 Dollar Tree Haul
On our most recent Dollar Tree run, we spent an astonishing $55.  But, we bought necessities and snacks that will save us even more money over the course of a pay period.  For example. on the way home, we munched on a $1 batch of European cookies.  Consequently, we were able to breeze right by Starbucks, McDonalds, and gas station convenience stores where we might have bought a snack.  Having that $1 roll of cookies allowed us to avoid $4 to $12 in fast food snacks.
