I stopped in Dollar Tree the other day. Picked up a few cards, pens, a few plastic bins/baskets, scotch brite scrubbers and a magic eraser.

Kitchen utensils. I noticed they're 99 cents at Goodwill, used. $1.25 at DT new.

Also...packages of socks!

I get Hallmark cards there. Last time I was there I got a box of those small containers of applesauce and they were not packaged in China. Also a few Kit Kat bars.

As the second half of the year, or at least the last 2 months of the year, things like next medical visit could be into the next new year, so a two year calendar is great!

Only thing is...once we are into the next year, I buy the next two year calendar.

So in the end I get one year out of a two year calendar.

Best

I write the following year's appointments in the "notes" section in the back. Then I just transfer those dates to the new two-year calendar when I buy that... Lasts a whole two years that way! "$1.25 saved is $1.25 earned."
