dcofsc Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 I found a few pair last weekend when they were 90% off. So I decided to check a couple more stores today for straggler pairs. I tried the previous posters trick and asked an employee and was told, "if you do happen to find any, they are all "recalled" and we won't be able to sell them to you. Recalled...., whatever. You want them for yourself at .01 is what I thought!! I think they might have been recalled but some stores are just slack. I say this because I went to three different Dollar General stores today in different towns and was told the same thing in each store. They all told me that those glasses had been recalled and there were none to be found in the stores. I explained to two of them that I wanted them for school rewards and they were firm on the fact that they had been recalled but who knows?

momof5kiddos Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 I wouldn't think that they were recalled for a safety reason,because they would have a recall notice hanging up by the sunglasses or on the front door.
alisa56jim Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 I went to 2 other store's and all gone I needed 10 more pair for the kids. well good luck to all looking for them
misshayley Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 I went to DG today to see what I could find. I spent around $25 and everything I bought was 90% off so around $250 worth of stuff. Thanks for the heads up on the 90% off.
christib327 Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Woohoo! I found 12 pairs of sunglasses tonight. I was so happy! :) I only took 2 to the register because I wanted to make sure first. When they rang up a penny I ran back and got the whole plastic rack thing. As I was kind of looking for more the manager came back and said I probably wouldn't find anymore. That those ones were supposed to have been thrown out, but she didn't realize it. She said that there had been others that were originally $1 that were recalled for lead and that those had all been pulled already. She acted kind of like she wasn't happy about me having them, but TOO BAD! The cashier rang me out and my total including 2 coloring books was $2.26! Great deal! I'll give some to a friends kids and then put the others back. It seems like we're always missing some around here so this will really come in handy!!
davephillyj Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 I went back to one of the DG that pulled some that were "recalled". I went looking in boxes of misc. stuff in boxes on the toy isle. (stuff they didn't want to bother with putting back on the shelf) 9 pair of glasses, and 5 buzz lightyear airplane shooters all for .01 ! I have a ton! I am so proud of my steals this week. My sons teacher is going to be so surprised Monday. I am giving half to her for the "treasure box" and half to a kid in my hubby's band program that has cancer for a huge fundraiser we are getting together. I am so excited to get GREAT DEALS! Thanks OP
tlock1945 Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 I went the other day and got 7 toothbrushes for .10 each and packs of 10 tealights for .10 each and some other misc. items
geekswife Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Thanks for posting this! We visited DG tonight because of this thread. My DG was out of the sunglasses, but we did get many stocking stuffers and decor for my daughters' rooms. The toy gardening tools were $.01 and the lady didn't even blink when she rang them up. We spent $20 and had 6 bags full!
