I know I love Dollar Tree! lots of useful stuff, and the stores are well-maintained. It also doesnt hurt that they actually sell things for a dollar, unlike Family Dollar.
Funny how it is so bad that people cant even afford that.
I am not sure that it is that people cannot afford it, but there is little to buy of value in those stores. The food is junk, the stuff is cheap, and I imagine that people are holding their dollars for more durable goods.
