The local Dirt Cheap store is shutting down and currently offering discounts on all items. I took advantage of the sale and purchased four 700ml bottles of hand sanitizer at only $0.45 each, a four-pack of dish towels for $1.89, a box of chalk for $0.90, two boxes of kids' bandaids for $0.23 each, and two plastic pencil boxes for $0.23 each. Although we don't necessarily need chalk or more dish towels, the low prices made it worthwhile to buy them. I even tried one of the kids' bandaids and was pleasantly surprised by the quality. I plan to pick up a few more before the sale ends.
