Dollar General Store

What more could you want for your dollar… store?
Okay, so it’s not the most amazing store on the planet and the cognoscenti, in this case, are on a lower budget than most but Dollar General has a lot to offer if you’re careful.
This is one of their older stores, which means that it frequently looks a mess. In this area, they have quite a few stores and are building more. Since 2008, the economy has been good for dollar stores and the dollar stores have been hurting Walmart, as Walmart hurt discount stores like Kmart and Woolworth.
Dollar General has good deals, sometimes, great deals but you have to be willing to search and you have to be willing to move things in this store. I’d say food is their big draw. They accept food stamps and they provide their own lower-​priced brand. They also have big name brands, but in quantities which aren’t always the same as your typical grocery store. Calculate the value, as always. Dollar stores are sometimes more expensive than other types of stores but they confuse by using unique sizes.
I started buying from Dollar General because they had grated parmesan/​parmagiana cheese that I liked better than Kraft or 4C, but now, I go there for other food items and greeting cards and household items.
They also have clothing, and some of it is name brand. For a store its size, the health and beauty items are plentiful. At this store, you’ll even find some DVDs but you’ll find them near the clothing for some reason. They’ve got a small refrigerator for milk, eggs, and bacon.
Unfortunately, I can’t find everything I want, so I end up shopping there for things I can’t find elsewhere or coupon bargains. They’ve been running «Super Saturday» deals where you buy something during the week and take your receipt on Saturday for a 15% (I believe) discount on your total. If you shop regularly, you’ll do well.
Of course, you can go to the store at the south end of town, which is much more organized since it’s newer, the west side of town, or who knows where they’ll build a new store soon.
