If you are an avid greeting card sender, the dollar store is the only way to go. Get two cards for a $1. Buy a lot and just spread them out through the year. Shoot...I wish someone would look on the back, see it's not hallmark and say something. It'd be the last card they'd get from me!
Home relaxers are the best way to go. I do all my own relaxers. I do get a good look and long lasting straightness. A few tips. Buy cheap hair grease, you know the blue kind or green kind and get a bottle of vitamin E. It will fortify the grease and make your hair grow thick and quickly. I get my hair styled at a beauty school. Dudleys. It's a little risky but how can you mess up a roller set.
Costco, Sam's, BJ's ...they're all the same
Buy all toiletries from there. Get the super large box of feminine products. Big ol' bottles of vitamins. Bath towels. Shoot you might even find some nice clothes...I got a pair of CK clam diggers for about $20. Don't doubt the power of the bulk warehouse
