Georgian dollarstore

in this article i want to tell you about the so called "larianebi". It is a shop like a dollarstore and it's just in Georgian curency. It has not been quite some time since those shops appeared in Georgia , though they have been very popular since then, especially among those people, who are some people, who doesn't want to spend too much money on some of the things, or those ones, who doesn't have money for those things. and it's very good, for example, if you want to buy some towels for cleaning your table. Those towels get dirty easily and it is not that recommended to have them too long there in your kitachen using it, so that you have to hrow them away after some time and when you have bought that exact towel in some supermarket with a double price or something, it's just harder to throw them away, then those ones, that yuo bought in that larianebi shop for one lari and just one lari , you know.
Anyways, it's not like i'm a fan of that shop, however, there are some good things, that you might find useful, though there are many things of low quality, of course, it's not that simple to have low prices and have things of high quality, that's just not acceptable for the sellers, so that they try to have some interesting things on low prices, so that the buyers will buy things in reaonable prices and when the prices are reasonable, thee buyers mostly buy some stuff, which they may even not intended to do so. So, let me tell you what you can find there in those larianebi shops and where you might find those shops, too.
The locations
Well, those larianebi shops are almost everywhere in Tbilisi and in other towns and cities , too, throughout the country, however, I will tell you about Tbilisi and some particular shops, which i usually visit.
Well, the very first larianebi shop that I got to know about was this shop on the nutsubidze plateau, however, then it got closed and it was pretty bad, because they had some good stuff, if you want to know the truth.
So, after that, I discovered another one on Vazha-pshavela avenue just nearby the City Mall and it's like in the middle of that City Mall and Delisi metro station. They have pretty good things and they have things more than any other larianebi shop that I have seen, so that it's like they have almost everything, that you might want to buy in such shops. it is a really good shop, however, it's on such place, where I don't usually go and so that if i want to buy something there, I have to go specially there and that's the bad thing, however, it's not that far from the metro station, so that it's quite easy to access it and then go back home or whatever. There you can buy things for more than one lari, because they have not everything for one lari, of course.
The second larianebi shop, which I visit very often is one on Tsereteli avenue, when you go three bus stops from the Tsereteli metro station and it's on the opposite of the street and you might not see it easily, becausee there's this building and it's kind of under the building on the minus floor or whatever and it has a small sign, which reads "Larianebi" or something like that and that way you will understand, that you should go down the stairs and then you can get into that shop of larianebi.
The other shop you can see nearby Varketili metro station and there are plenty of larianebi shops close to that territory. the very first one is just above the metro station, when you go upstairs on the opposite side, where they sell flowers, there is this normal sized room, which has some different things except from the usual ones sold in the larianebi shops.
The other one is just when you go down the street to the crossing and then go to the right. There's this large sign saying "everything for one lari" or something like that and you will see it very easily on your left.
And if yuo continue going on that direction, there will be another larianebi shop on your left again. it's a smaller one , than the other larianebi shops, however, they still haave necessary stuff for people.
Other larianebi shop is down on the parallel street there and it's just nearby the bazaar an there are stairs, where there's this larianebi shop. They also have some different stuff, too, and i really like visiting them because of that.
And another larianebi shop you can find on that street in about one bus stop distance and it's a really good one, too. It's large and everything is well decded around and you can have what you want in an easy way there. It's just opposite to the police station there.and there's this small park just in front of the police station, where people use to hang out. And just behind the larianebi shop there is this rugby stadium, which is a great place for hanging out and exercising or whatever and there are rugby teams playing there almost all the time.
One of the larianebi shops is located just across the 300 Aragveli metro station and they have pretty good stuff there , too. However, I haven't really bought anything there, because it is not nearby my home and I prefer buying those things just nearby, because it's easier to carry them there, of course.
The other larianebi shop is in Samgori, just when you go up on the escalator and go to the left. That's one of my favourite larianebi shops, because they have some different things from that usual stuff and I discover some pretty useful stuff there usually, so that whenever I get there, I visit that shop. It's on "Zeda Samgori" and not "Kveda Samgori" though, you should know.
There's another larianebi shop just nearby Vazha-pshavela metro station, when you cross the road. It's a pretty small one, however, they have plenty of things there and though it's not that large and everything is kindof hidden because of tha lack of space there, they still have many great things there and if you are somewhere nearby, you can visit it and buy some necessary things.
Well, anyways, there are so many other places, where you can find those larianebi shops, however, I can not really remember all of them now, but if you want to find them, it's very easy, because they are almost everywhere in every corner of the streets and you can find them by the signs, too, where it says "Everything for one lari" or "Larianebi" or something like that and it's pretty much noticeable, because the writing is made in red colour and the background is just yellow and the sign itself is pretty large, usually.
What you can buy in Larianebi shop
Well, there are many things , that you can buy there, for example some stuff, that are pretty much necessary for daily basis, I guess.
First of all, there you will find some hygiene stuff, like shampoos and washing liquids for both washing machine and washing clothes and washing plates and kitchen stuff. They all cost one lari or maybe one lari and a half, it all depends on the stuff there, though, it's usually one lari for everything.
There are also liquid soaps, which I like very much and they are 500 ml and cost just 1 lari, so that it's very efficient and reasonable and I usually buy it and have it in my bathroom and it lasts for quite some time, I must say. And those liquid soaps there are with different flavour and are of different types, so that you might find some of them with rose scent and lilac and fresh and coconut and things like that and apple, and I usually have that rose scented liquid soap, if you want to know the truth. i didn't really like the coconut one and the apple one is good, too. And there are some different liquid soaps, too, which cost one and a half laris and they are of peach and honey and things like that and they are pretty good, too, however, there's not 500 ml there, it's a little bit less than that. Though, I once had that peach liquid soap and it was pretty good.
There are also some solid soaps for daily use and for clothes wash and things like that.
There are also some towels and stuff for kitchen cleaning and house cleaning, which are pretty useful, and they have all those things in bottles and packages and there;s a variety of them there and you can choose which one you want.
My favourite stuff are kitchenware, and they havee some utensils and plastic things for forks and knives and sponges and towels and papers and everything, and they have forks and spoons and knives, too, and some other things, like juicemakers and lemon containers and pelmeni makers and silicon spatulas and wooden spatulas and everything. They also have some good glass plates and glasses and cups and beer glasses and vases and soup cups and everything. They even have some wine glasses, like fugeers or whatever, so that if you want to have something cheap and, at the same time, good looking and things like that, you can go there into larianebi shop and buy something you like. I usually buy some glasses there and I have bought some beautiful juice glasses there, too, and I use them almost all the time. They have these autumn leaves painted on them and they are like sunshine at the table, so that the table is pretty much colourful and of party feeling whenever I have them there. And, besides, you can buy how many glasses you want , because it's not like they oblige you to buy the exact amount of those glasses, just like it's in the supermarkets or things like that. Of course, the package itself contains 6 of those glasses, however, they separate them and you can buy just one glass there and no one will tell you anything about it. For example, if you have just one glass broken and you want to replace it with just one, you can go there and buy that one glass without any problem there.
There are also some things for children and school students, for example, they have some notebooks of different amount of the paper and different pictures on them and they also have some colourful papers and colouring books and pens and pencils and erasers and so on and so forth. They have some unusual stuff , too, like some toys and writing boards and bubbles, that grow in the water and once i bought this small animal, which would grow into the water and i gave it to my little cousin and he had it in the water and it grew pretty much in a couple of days and he was very happy about that.
Anyways, you can also find some lipsticks and perfume and rubber bands and necklaces and rings and earrings there, and, I must say, that they are pretty beautiful and lovely and they just cost one lari, you know, so that I usually buy some of them when I loook at them and like them, because it doesn't matter, whether it costs fortune or just one lari, the main thing is to be beautiful and that I like it. I have bought some bracelets there, which are really unusual and very easy to carry and I pretty much like them, and others liked them, too, and were very surprised to know, that I had bought them in those larianebi shops and that I just paid one lari in each of them. So that, it's not that you can not really find some good jewellery in larianebi shop. They can be not of a very high quality, but they can be lovely and likeable and worth that one lari of yours. They have some good rings and earrings, too, and if you can bear any earring made with any material on your ears, then you can choose whichever earring you want there and the choice is vast, I must say.
Well, there are also some personal hygiene stuff for women and some paper towels there and some wet towels, too, so that if you are in need of any of them you can just rush into that larianebi shop and buy them thhere, and the quality is not that bad, either, if you ask me.
There are also some technical stuff bought there, for exaample, you can buy some glue or hammer or sticking band or some things like that, which are pretty useful and are necessary to havee them at home. There you can also buy some lighters, which are mainly used for starting the gas if it's broken or if the power is off or something. it's very handy when you want to light candles and things like that, because usually they use matches, which are not that efficient and easy to use and, besides, they get blown and then you have to light them again.
You can also buy some gardening stuff, like pots, which are pretty beautiful and cheap, of course.
There are some sewing things, too, such as, needles and scissors and everything and it's quite useful to know, because sometimes you just need them and don't really know, where to bu them except for the bazaars and sometimes, you can not even find them in the bazaars, because there are so many things there, that you canmiss them or not see them and then, you won't buy them, of course, if you don't ask anyone about them there.
In some larianebi shops you can even find some birthday things and the candles and balloons, which people really need these days, as they like to make surprises to their friends or family members and so on and usually, they don't know where to find them, so that, you should know, that if you don't find some candles in any market or supermarket around, you can visit the larianebi shops and, hopefully, you will find them there.
Well, they also have some pants and socks there, which you can find pretty much handy for yourself and I have bought some of them there and I am pretty satisfied with that, if you want to know the truth. So that, if you are in need of any of them and can not go shopping or if you are in a gurry and need one, you can visit that larianebi shop and buy them there.
And, they also have some nail polishes and hair sprays and hand and foot creams and they even have some hair colourings and many other things, it all depends on hich larianebi shop ou are visiting, because some of them are pretty small ones , while some others are pretty large and they have more products there, of course, than the smaller ones.
You can even buy some toothbrushes and tooth pastes and some rags for kitchen or bathroom and towels to cover the able and bathroom curtains and some other things.
Anyways, it's really hard to list all those things, that they offer to their clients and the things , that you can buy in those larianebi shops, however, they are worth visiting and once you visit them, you will find many things, that you need to have at home and you don't have them, so that you will buy something there in each visit, I guess. Once, when I visited one of those shops for the first time or the second, I was just looking around, deiciding which things I needed to buy and which ones were not that necessary, because I was pretty far away from home and I didn't want to have a heavy bag going there. And while looking around I found so many things, that I needed to have at home, that it was just surprising. And the seller there was kind of awful and she was following me around asking what I needed, but I didn't really know what exactly I needed, I was just looking around and I knew, that there were so many things, that I needed, however, I wouldn't explain that to that lady , of course, and I don't know what she thought, but she got me so annoyed, that I didn't really buy anything there in the end. So that, it's really important, how the seller reaches to you and the attitude towards you really matters, however, some sellers don't reallly understand that, I guess. Well, all the sellers in the other larianebi shops are pretty nice and that's one of the reasons, why I like visiting them, because they don't follow you around getting you annoyed and they are not bothering you and they let you look around and choose, what you need to buy and what you want to buy there. Well, probably that other lady on the Vazha-pshavela avenue larianebi shop was not in a good mood then, I don't know, however, she just lost a very good client there, if you want to know the truth. However, now you can visit that larianebi shop without any worries, because the seller there has been changed and now the staff there is pretty good and nice.
