Party Goods!

Jack's is the best place ever to buy party supplies... Stock up on cheap paper plates, plastic cups, candles, decorations, fun games (I could go on and on)...

A lot of great underwear for cheap

I was actually surprised by what I found. Many times I've been in a 99/discount store and the offbrand underwear is made of some sort of plastic/poly mixture. here I was surprised to see some real brands. I picked up several packs of Jockey. Also notebooks that I see for 5 bucks in stationary stores or staples, are 99 cents here. So thats my take.

apartment stuff

I just moved into a new place and have zero money to decorate. I got a nice rug for $17 and stuff like kitchen utensils, new glasses, etc. Some of the stuff is cheap looking but I also found plenty of nice things too.

Groceries

I go to Jack's for groceries mostly. I can buy lots of frozen dinners and other easy stuff for snacking (I'm not much of a cook) for like $20.
