I just *had* to go into Dollar General today, and (after searching row to row) I *stumbled* across the orange 7# dumbbells.

They are now mine!

Also, the 5 Below 4 pound weights were actually nicer and WAY cheaper than the weights from Amazon, so I returned those and bought the other.

I need to go to Dollar General. I keep forgetting.

I saw an old, dirty set of neoprene 15 pound dumbbells at Goodwill, which is unusual. Usually, I only see 3 pounds. However, they wanted $24.99 for each one! The iron 10 pounds were priced at $17.99 each. I can get new ones at a local sports store for less than that. I guess they will sell when it's half off that color sticker day.

I checked our Dollar General last week and found nothing fitness related.

I had to look several minutes to find these! They were tucked away at the very back of the store.

They sure are orange!

There's a brand new, gigantic Dollar General in my town. Time to check and see if it's actually open yet.

I checked every aisle except the food but maybe I still missed them! I love orange. Two walls in my gym are rust orange!

The other two walls are one chocolate brown and one olive green. My happy colors!

I can go from 1 to 39 pounds in 1-lb increments by using my dumbbells, 1-lb kickbox gloves, 2-lb kickbox gloves, and 2-lb Firm Pink Balls. The Firm balls don't have to be used until 18 pounds and I don't actually use them if I'm going above 20.

I think my 1-lb kickbox gloves have two 1/2 pounders inside. If so, I could mix in some 1/2-lb increments.

Despite the above, I'm still going to check the dollar store to see if I can snag up some dumbbells that can replace some dumbbells + kickbox gloves combos.
