Can you tell I'm procrastinating on cleaning windows? It's my own vic, so I can be lazy.
Here it is side by side with the Gold Plush [you know which 1 it is I can't remember what it's called] lol.
I've only used that big 1 a couple times and it's been sealed up ever since, I don't like it. It gets too heavy while managing to not pick up much suds, plus it just drags on the paint. Those $1 mitts are light and quik.

Re: Incredibly Cheap Finds
I love the big yellow ones - I think mine are Megs, can't remember. Heck, for a dollar each, I could cut those up and sew new seams to make them any size I want. I knew there was a reason I had a sewing machine in the cabinet. Still procrastinating… It's such a beautiful day I can't help it.

Im sure it has a lot of uses like spreading wax:
Another thing that I saw was a window cleaning wand type of stuff (all cheap but alright microfiber) that regret not buying there and then.
I Also bought some 2litre spray bottles now I know 100% these things will not last me an eternity and will proablably break but for 1 dollar cant really say no.
Ill proablably will be visiting next week and see what else I find anyways if you have the money get the stuff from AG its more durable but if you have one of these store close its worth checking out.
Just to wrap it up what are your finds? trades? ETccc. Comment.
Dollar stores do have great deals sometimes. I just bought that tac light from tv at oceans state. the one they freeze in a block of ice and then run over with a truck. im going to use it for detailing it really is bright, def the brightest flashlight i have ever seen by far. i think it was 15 bucks

same price as the ones from advanced though where i live

Re: Incredibly Cheap Finds
Found this last weekend at Lowe's, it's under $100 if I remember correctly.
Nice foam cannon lol! So nice to see the retail world is catching on, even if they're still years behind. I Even saw edgeless towels at Walmart the other day.

Re: Incredibly Cheap Finds
was at costco and picked up a box of the chevron fuel injection cleaner (6pk) and it's normally priced at $19.99 - 9.00 instant savings at the register brought it up to $10.99 + tax. not bad for around $1.83 a piece...
