Everyone has a comment about the value of a dollar. Either it has gone down, isn’t appreciated (especially by kids) or means nothing these days. At least, that is what I keep hearing all around me. But the value of a dollar can be quite high, if you apply it the right way. Here are some things that you can get for $1.
- A child’s lined winter coat (at the Goodwill Outlet).
- Two apple pie deserts at a fast food restaurant
- A bag of beans that mixed with ketchup and seasonings can make an entire meal that feeds eight people.
- A bottle of shampoo, a newspaper that contains hundreds of dollars of coupons, a 20 minute pre-paid phone card, a box of cereal, a box of cookies or a small toy at the dollar store.
- A loaf of whole grain bread at the bakery thrift store
- A pair of like new Timberlane boots for a child, at the thrift store
- A little girl’s Laura Ashley dress at a church consignment sale
- A week long video game or DVD rental at the library
- A box of pop tarts from the clearance aisle of the grocery store
- A dozen eggs on sale or a half dozen not on sale
- Enough oats for a week’s worth of breakfast
- A bunch of kale, a leafy veggie loaded with nutrients
- About three to seven bananas at your local Trader Joe’s (depending on location)
- Two kids learning DVDs at a yard sale
- Four boxes of 24-count crayons during the back to school sales
- Ten full sized candy bars with holiday packaging the week after Christmas
- An iPod app that will entertain your preschooler when you are stuck in line, on a long car trip, or when you need to remove a splinter

- Two paperback books or one hardcover book at the local library sale
- A bar of soap
