(KNUE-FM) I’m happy to wake up each morning here in the great state of Texas and go to work to provide for my family.

While I am not getting rich, I take pride in being able to pay my bills.

But because inflation has hit all of us in the wallet just like everyone else, I have had to watch my spending because I don’t want to give away the money I work hard for each day.

Which is why I want to discuss wasteful spending, especially at dollar stores.

I’m all about saving money, and when I was younger, I did lots of my shopping at dollar stores in an effort to save money.

But I had no idea at the time that while I was trying to save money, I might have been wasting more money than I was spending.

While that might not seem correct, it’s amazing how many products are being sold at dollar stores in Texas that are truly a waste of your money.

Don't Make the Same Mistake I Made

I made the mistake one time to buy ice cream from the dollar store.

I should have known better, but I bought it anyway.

But it took me only one bite to realize that it didn’t taste like other ice cream flavors, there was more of a chemical flavor.

I would stay away from ice cream at the dollar store.
