College Freshman Essentials at Dollar General

This post brought to you by Dollar General. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am so very proud of my grandson, Nathaniel. Just a couple of months ago he graduated top of his class, and what makes it even more special is that he was the youngest to graduate at age sixteen. Nathaniel is a very bright young man and has decided to pursue a nursing degree. Because of his young age, he’ll be making the hour commute to college from home each day. With the first day of class just over a week away, we headed out the other day to grab some last minute college freshman essentials at Dollar General.

Since Nathaniel is not staying on campus, the items we picked up will help him in class. I tried to steer him towards a new alarm clock, but he said his phone is good enough. I think I’ll be heading back up to Dollar General later this week to pick one up for him anyways. You can never be too careful after all, and it’s important to be prompt.

Our Dollar General store had many great items for college students. We picked up a stylus for Nathaniel to use with his tablet. He’ll be using it for taking notes on in class. We also grabbed a flash drive, calculator, and composition book. I hadn’t realized before that Dollar General carries so many tech gadgets.

I am proud of what a savvy shopper my grandson has become. For every item we looked at, he made sure he was getting the best value in the store. He’s earned it honest, because both his mom and I are very frugal and use coupons whenever possible. I think his newfound penny pinching attitude has been amplified by the fact that he has earned his own money for the first time working over the summer working as a lifeguard. It’s amazing how difficult it is to hand over those hard earned dollars, when you’ve actually done the hard work to earn them. This isn’t something his two younger sisters have yet to appreciate.
