After years of bragging about all of the checks she’s earned on Real Housewives of Atlanta, NeNe Leakes has revealed a favorite of hers that is very off-brand from her public persona.
Apparently NeNe has a strong love for the Dollar Store, which a lot of people do, but no one expected the woman who constantly brags about being “very rich” to adore the Dollar Store so much. Then again, maybe shopping at the Dollar Store is part of why she has so much money saved up.
In an interview with InStyle, NeNe revealed, “When it comes to money, I’m actually a really big saver”- which makes perfect sense. Real Housewives of Atlanta can’t go on forever- although I sincerely hope it does.
NeNe shared, “I’m not into Target. I go to the Dollar Store. I love it there.”
She even has an idea for her next business venture. NeNe admitted, “I really wish I could open one up.”Not that NeNe cares about my opinion, but I one hundred percent support this idea.
Why does NeNe love the Dollar Store much? The Atlanta Housewife explained, “If you want some good-ass wine glasses, you go to the Dollar Store. Most wine glasses are very thin and break when you put them in the dishwasher. Well honey, the Dollar Store has got some thick ones, same with martini glasses. Whenever I have a party at my house, I go buy boxes of plain white plates there too.”
NeNe continued, “The sales person always looks at me and goes, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s NeNe Leakes at the Dollar Store!’ I’m like, don’t worry about me. You can have all of this expensive stuff at your party, but your guests will be eating off of Dollar Store plates and they don’t even know it.” Hopefully she doesn’t run into a certain wig-wearing blonde shopping for red plastic cups.
