[nmsmith]

Never heard of it until now. I will start watching! I'm not cheap, I'm frugal!!  I love to save money but I do have my limits lol nothing unsanitary!!!

I love Dollar tree!

I have never heard of the show; and obvioulsy haven't watched it.
HOWEVER the dollar stores are great for little things to pick up here and there.... I think people need to realize; you get what you pay for.
If you pay $50.00 for a wedding dress, you better believe you will have to put SOME money into it!!!!

i have seen this once  and that was enough.   i think its almost as bad as hoarders  and that show is just terrible.

I believe in saving money but there are some things i want do. But people need to be careful in buying some products from the dollar store also. Like the makeup that comes from china and other countries it has things in it you do not want to put on your face.  I am not knocking Dollar stores as i shop at them also but usually i will only buy products made in the USA.  I do find a lot of items though that i can use in my crafts.

anyone watch this show on TLC enjoyed the woman who was only gonna spend 1000.00 for her daughters wedding and bought a wedding dress at a *bleep* shop but it smelled like urine. she did get it for only 50.00.that is just one of the people.Funny show makes you think about just how much money you can waste . Was looking at make-up couldn't believe how expensive some were will be looking at dollar stores.I mean 6-12.00 for lipstick come on now.

I have never heard of this TV show.  Reading thru the replies here in the Forum, I know I won't be looking for the show!

As for wedding dresses, you CAN get a gorgeous wedding dress for way, way, way under $1,000 without buying a dress that smells like urine.

Case in Point:  For our daughter's first wedding, We bought a stunning ivory colored "Prom" dress.  The front was beaded and intricate.  She liked the back of a second dress, so we bought the dress with the beautiful front and I altered the back of it so it looked like the back of the second dress.  Then I added a tulle train and tulle roses.  Gorgeous. And NO ONE knew it was a JC Penney "prom dress".

She remarried several years later.  We went to a bridal boutique.  She tried on many lovely gowns.  All over the $1000.  We saw a "discount" rack that had "last Year's" dresses on it.  We bought a lovely white strapless gown for under $100.   I mean, does anyone know (or care) that your wedding dress was first out on the rack last year?

Just my two cents on the ridiculous prices on wedding dresses.

I  reuse  teabags  twice but  never  dry  them  out.   I like to save  a buck  when  I can  but  some  people  take  it  over the edge.

I think these people do most of the things they do, just for the benefit of the show its self.  Doesn't seem possible
for people to be that "cheap", like the ones they show on TV.  I really think most of it is just "made up"..  not real..
just saying.....
