I dared to buy deodorant at the 99 Cent Store. Big mistake. Not only did it fail to prevent odor, it CREATED a stank much worse than anything my body has ever produced on its own. And it just sort of crept up on me like a stink bomb had suddenly been released. Luckily I was at home and spared the embarrassment of public reekage but it made me realize that you have to have some serious olfactory problems to be oblivious to bad B.O. The next time I’m in close proximity to such an offender I don’t think I’ll politely ignore it because that’s just rude on their part.
Lesson for the kids: The 99 Cent Store is good for items like shaving cream and pens- maybe even a six pack of Guatemalan beer when times are tough- but it’s best not to skimp when it comes to the essentials. I can only wonder how many unwanted children are a result of 99 Cent Store condoms.

LOL! I miss the 99 cent store. We have a 10kr($1.30) store here but it just isn’t the same.

Ahhhh, now I know where my husband purchased that failed condom that resulted in my last child.
Dollar Stores aren’t good for much other than coloring books.

I take it you’re from outside the US? A $1.30 store just seems so random.

You disapprove of the 99 Cent Store, Dave??? You have to shop there once just so you can know the joy of having to ask for assistance in carrying $13 worth of merchandise to your car.
I’ll have to send you a 99 Cent Store Gift Card.

yeah, I used to live in Indiana but now I am in Sweden so the $1.30 is just an estimate. It really depends on the exchange rate. But 10kronor is a nice round number
