Dear Nacho: You came into our lives a 2.05-lb ball of orange fur. The county said you were too scared to “put out on the floor,” that room of cats and dogs at the pound. “Nacho just hides, so he needs a foster home where he will feel more comfortable.” We drove you home, put…
Dollar Tree #73
Unless you’re living under a rock (admittedly, I am), you are probably aware that Dollar Tree raised its prices to $1.25 on most items. I am relieved that they did this – I was worried that they would become more like Family Dollar and charge $2, $3, or even $5 for various items. The increase…
