We have a store called Dollar General.

The prices are generally lower than the major chain stores like Pamida.

We have dollar stores where I live. I really like going there for office stuff and if I need a little something in the kitchen. Usual it is a lot cheaper than other stores for similar items in those sections.

We have one where everything in the store is a dollar.  We have another that used to be that way but they added a bunch of stuff that's more than a dollar and there are several that have a few dollar items but you have to be careful that you don't pay more than regular stores.

We don't have one locally but there one about 15miles away.  But I sometimes Iam going that way so I will make the trip.  I am careful of the food because I havegoine into some of them and the food as expired.  But somethings are ok to purchase.  But I think it is like everything else you need to watch each item and see what works.

We do have a 99 cent store in our town but it is on the other side of town.  There is a Dollar Tree down the street and I probably shop there once a month for misc stuff.  They have great stuff for packing presents and gift bags.  I WILL NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THE FRIGE/FREEZER SECTION.  I don't trust them that much.

We have 2 of these stores in our city. Some of the stuff is great but you have to be careful because some of it is junk & they do not give refunds on anything. The kitchen section is usually ok & they usually have good dinnerware selections. We get some of our school supplies there too.

We have stores such as this: Dollar Store, Dollar General and Family Dollar.  Those companies did real well in the bad economy  :icon_rr:

Certainly there is. We have the Dollar Tree Store, Big Lots, and the regular 99 cents store. I used to think the quality is poor compared to regular stores since their prices are affordable. Nowadays I am surprised there are some national brand items you can buy at lower prices at Big Lots. I heard people can actually find some good 2nd hand items at the Thrift Stores.

we have a dollar tree and a 99 cents only store in our town. i can not stand the cheap junk or the customer service at the dollar tree so the only time i go there is at the beginning of the summer when the kids need new pool toys and water guns and beach stuff. the 99 cent store is a little bit better, and i really like that they carry soilove stain remover because that works better then anything else i have ever tried, even on oil or grease stains that have already been dried in the dryer.

My city has a couple dollar stores. Dollar Tree and Dollar General. I stop in regularly for a couple products I use a lot of and save money here. (padded envelopes) for shipping eBay stuff. They have a MUCH better price than buying them from WalMart or other retailers. And I saved some big bucks this Christmas buying my gift bags here. Dept stores were charging $3-$5 for ugly gift bags while the Dollar Tree had some of the coolest designs in any size, big or small for a buck! Also great selection of stocking stuffers....

:BangHead: Unfortunately there is no such store in this area although 54 miles away there is a Dollar General store that I buy a lot of my supplies from when I have the money and can find a ride since I don't even have a vehicle anymore! (My Berreta got atolen and nothing has been done about it after 3 years!)

There is one in the next town over and another incentive is that it has a 3 percent sales tax.

I used to live in a town with a .99 cents or less store. Now where I live there are Dollar Generals and Family Dollars. These stores are misleading. I can buy cheaper than them at Walmart. People need to pay attention to prices and price check and they would be surprised that they don't save any money there.
