The Best Dollar Store

The Best Dollar Store

When it comes to low-price general stores, I've found that Dollar Tree is the best. Everything there truly is $1 or less!
    • However, not everything at Dollar Tree is a good deal. For example, most of their food is overpriced compared to grocery stores—yeah, it's only a dollar, but the special small package means that Dollar Tree food often costs more per ounce than a similar product at a grocery store.
       
    • For things like personal care items, decorations, Halloween costumes, microwavable plastic bowls, greeting cards, toys, etc., I really like Dollar Tree. For such items, durability isn't super-important, so Dollar Tree is a great low-cost, one-stop shop!
       
    • If you need durable or high-quality products—especially electronicslook elsewhere. But Dollar Tree is a great source for everything from security envelopes to coloring books for kids, especially if you just want something inexpensive.
       
    • I've been to Family Dollar, which is owned by Dollar Tree, according to the Bloomberg article above. Not impressed. Many of their products are ridiculously overpriced, and they aren't actually $1 (as the name implies)...the one time I went into Family Dollar to look around, I saw products that cost $8 or $10—products that I could have found elsewhere for less!
       
    • Dollar General is a similar story. Not a great deal on many of their products.
So, in sum, Dollar Tree is the king of the dollar stores. Long live the king!
