Showing Original Post only (View all)What I found in the 4/$1.00 bin at the local Dollar Tree today [View all]
I thought you'd all enjoy this. I found 10 copies of the ever-lovely Sarah Palin's Going Rogue in the bin. I picked one up and the store manager said "we've had them here for months-no one wants them."
Four items for one dollar and even then they couldn't sell them.
I regret not taking a picture for everyone.

Might be worth buying them, shredding the pages, and using the shreds as cat litter.
