The problem is it will soon be the Two Dollar Store.

I remember when we had the Dime Store.

Nothing in Dollar General stores is $1 anymore last time I went into one.

Never name your company for a price...

Motel 6 was started in Santa Barbara, California, in 1962, and, indeed, as the name implies, the room cost six dollars a night for a single. The developers, William Becker and Paul Green, figured the price would cover their building costs and maintenance. Their first hotels had coin-operated black and white TVs. To say they were a “no-frills” motel chain would probably be an understatement. That was done so that the rooms could be cleaned quickly. The concept, cheap motel rooms, obviously caught on and they were imitated even by existing chains. The developers sold the chain in 1968 and by the 70s, the coin-op TVs were replaced by free color TVs and prices had to go up.

I read that Motel 6 is now $60 a night.

And . . . remember the Five and Dime stores?

Inflation - it's not just "Transitory".

There’s a store I just heard about in Wisconsin called, ‘Five Below.’

It’s like a Dollar Store, but items can go as high as $5...and beyond!

Soon, only the truly wealthy among us can shop there.
