I am amazed at the number of Americans who think they are “above” shopping in stores like Dollar General or even Wal-Mart and would not be caught dead in one. Anyone who know the truth about manufacturing and retail will tell you that 99% of items in the “higher class” store are the same as those in the stores they refuse to shop at, and its cheaper there.
There’s one every 5 miles around here. Haven’t been inside one in 10 years. Most times, chain store brand or Walmart is cheaper.
I don’t know Dollar General,but I know Dollar Tree———and it is awesome.

I remember when he was a fifty-cent colonel.
No. No you don’t buy the same dish soap. You don’t buy the same cookpot and you definitely dont buy the same food as in a traditional store. Your aren’t as clean and your cookpot broke after 12 uses. Are you an idiot that you can’t identify a low-quality replacement or something?
Our DG has all the same name brand toothpaste, shower soap, laundry soap, and OTC meds as the “better” stores do, just at lower prices.
So unless you think the folks at Proctor and Gamble are letting someone get away with using their brand names I’d say you don’t have a fricking clue what you’re talking about.

Well, they sell Tide and all tons of name brand items.
I don’t buy pans there.
You are a snot. Sorry, but you are.
Thank you!
I suppose there are lots of experienced managers out at Sears, etc.
It’s ok, I don’t take offense. Enjoy your shopping experience.
