Oh, Dollar Tree, how much I miss you, being too far for me to ride a bus to from campus regularly. In the short time since I met you, you have given me so much.

Unlike dating, you always promise to be worth a dollar for each item. You are so loyal and true it's unreal.

How could I get products that make me pretty while on a super tight budget? If it weren't for you, I would never have learned of the wonders of coconut oil.

And may I add how versatile your store is? You have quality dorm decorations and cleaning products IN THE SAME STORE. Woah. A modern miracle. Everything I need for college, except the liquor, of course.

You have taught me that a girl can look amazing in $1 makeup, that it is definitely NOT Maybelline, but may be just as good.

You even have candles. I can transform my bathroom into a spa instantly with the smell of Cabo Breeze and Lavender, among many other wonderful scents. (I'm still mad that my school banned candles. I miss studying to the smell of Honey and Brown Sugar.)

To be fair, you have $1 room fresheners, and that may be just as good. The jury's still out on that one.

And best of all, you give a discount on candy. A Hersey anywhere else is a $1, you offer 50 cents.

You are there for every celebration, from birthdays to special holidays. I bet you even cater.

And every time I come back, I always find something new and exciting, making me want more.

If I could, I would marry you.

Oh, Dollar Tree, I know you are far, but I will be back soon.

Yours in spending,

Me
