Anyone fans of $.99/Dollar stores?

They are delightfully depressing places.

Ask me about buying a bunch of dollar store stuff for a relative's wedding the day before it happened because my wife and I felt embarrassed on their behalf since they didn't put in the effort of preparing for it :v: On the bright side we did discover the made in Turkey mars bar knockoff they sold for 25 cents was hella delicious. Skip the snickers knockoff though.

I mean, in fairness, thats a store that is being picked clean before it closes for good....

True, but the company's situation is in such bad shape that it seemed appropriate to share. Also, the KMarts that I've gone to in recent years have all been pretty horrible inside, even though they're open for business.

They are delightfully depressing places. I sometimes go to them to buy odd little poo poo for the kitchen that I cannot justify spending more than a few bucks on.

Dollar stores are far less depressing than Walmart/Kmart. They are great for party stuff, small kitchen items, and greeting cards (who the hell pays $5 for a greeting card when you can get 2 for $1 at the dollar store?)

You've got a lot to learn about the dollar store, friend. The maximum price is a dollar. It's not uncommon to have items be 2-for-1 or even more for just a dollar.

Things are really cheap there

I love going to the dollar store because I just get EVERYTHING I WANT and it's never expensive. Halloween candy. Fiber One cereal in weird flavors. Gum. Pregnancy tests. Little bottles of sunsceen. It's an amazing and magical place.

The cards are the best. Sure they feel flimsy and poo poo, but for $.50, it's the bomb diggity.

The one near me is a "$0.99 And Up" store. So what the gently caress makes it any different from a normal store?
