Shopping at these dollar stores are just propping up CHINA and putting more money in our enemy’s hands.

"Dollar" stores are a very good marketing idea, but you really do still need to be aware of your purchasing power there.
Only Dollar Tree is, as far as I know, a true "dollar" store - meaning everything in the store is really only one dollar. Other "dollar" stores have items for anywhere from $1 to over $5 per item.

You need to watch your dollar value, though. Is paying $1 for a small box of dryer sheets really worth it? Or is the Winn-Dixie down the street having a weekly sale in which you get twice as many sheets of the same product for $1.79?
How does a $1 for an 8 ounce bottle of dish soap compare to a grocery store price of $3.79 for a 2 liter bottle of the same product?
You need to be aware of the different prices per ounce/pound/etc. to know if you are really getting value for your dollar.

Salem, SC has a Dollar General that stays busy most of the day. It’s closer to me than the closest Wal Mart, doesn’t sell ammo and camping supplies but has cheap dog food and canned goods without the damned crowds.

My only criticism of the local dollar store is the people who work there who aren’t smart enough to run the cash register. I go in there nearly every day, but there’s one checker who drives me crazy.

Dollar Tree ROCK$.

Where else can you get Squishy Maggot-Filled Skulls for $1.

Love the dollar stores. Especially Dollar General Supermarket. And no, it’s not all Chinese food either except maybe the mushrooms.

We ended up with a box of “bandaids” from a Dollar store. Heh.
They had no adhesive........wouldn’t stick.

LOL!
