    Dollar general isn’t actually a “dollar store”, more like a “discount” store. They sit in-between a dollar store and traditional store. They’ll have more recognizable name brand products VS a dollar store, but the sizing might be smaller or slightly damaged packaging. They’re like a Burlington or TJ Maxx, but with smaller stores and sell groceries.

    That being said, our actual dollar stores like Dollar Tree have also gotten more expensive, used to be everything was a dollar. Now many things are a 1.25 going up to 5 for the more…“premium” stuff
