We are just a few weeks from Halloween and we thought it was a perfect time to see what we could find at the local dollar store. We had a budget of $5, so we chose our 4 favorite things (don't forget the taxes.)

The first thing we bought is a 'pumpkin torch'. This is actually kind of cool, it's important to keep your children visible while they are trick-or-treating and the pumpkin torch is fun and practical at the same time!

We had to get some candy. We found a bag of boogers! They tasted like apple fruit roll-ups. Then we picked up a bag of pumpkin patch orange pop rocks, my first thought was they still make pop rocks? These were made in Spain and they sure did pop! They didn't taste anything like pumpkin though.

Finally, for pure fun, we got a pair of sticky eyes. Sarah Dyer thought that you could throw them on a surface and they would spread out in a spooky manor. Not quite, they were sticky but didn't do what Sarah thought they would do.

I do want to point out that the dollar store we went to had decorations, costumes and brand name candy for a dollar!
