When you believe that things that are a dollar or less should be bought in bulk because they are so cheap.
My Mom went out and bought 20 pairs of star shaped sunglasses because "someone would definitely get a dollar worth of fun out of them". She has a dollar store mentality.

My friend Paty used to say "If it's for free, it's for me....but the dollar store is good too."
