Dollar Tree no more. All of them are closing.

Saw a lady buying canned fish (Mackerel?) one day in the dollar store. I felt so bad for her to have to eat it, that I was about to give her some money and tell her to go to the Kroger(s) across the street and get some real food. I didn't and felt bad. Then someone told me she was probably buying it for her cat, and that it probably makes it the happiest cat on the planet.
Moral of the story, I don't judge people at the dollar store anymore.
(unless their kids are bad)
((and they all are))
(((and 'they' is not what you think I mean)))

No !!!!!!! If it is struggling that bad, just make it the $1.29 tree, the extree .29 cents could save it.
They sell kippered snacks for a buck and it's the same thing sold at Kroger for about 40 cents more. Worth swallowing some pride and saving a bit. Kippered snack is just a smoked herring fillet - no bones, pretty firm, not as smelly as sardines, and is one of the "good fish" according to my doctor.
Otherwise, I avoid food there. It's kind of fun to look at items and see where they're from. They had frozen strawberries from China. I can't figure out how you could even ship a bag of frozen strawberries over here and sell them for a dollar. I know they're fertilizing with human sewage so there's a cost cutter.
If you're life choices are based on saving .40 on cat snacks.
Well...good luck. Probably the same person in the line that holds everyone up with their stack of coupons.

Dollar Tree acquired Family Dollar, so I don't think they're having much trouble.
Low-end and high-end retailers are doing quite well, btw. Amazon killed the middle. Sorry Sears, Toys-R-Us, etc.

Dollar tree takes coupons? I gotta get in on this.
Personally, I prefer to jack the line with my EBT card.
I was in line at the D Tree when a girl comes running with a bottle of BBQ sauce. "How much is dis sauce?" Lady at the register "$1"
The "Value Merchandiser" (Dollar Stores) class of brick and mortar retail is one of the few remaining that are truly thriving.
Don't think Dollar Tree is hurting, and their acquisition of Family Dollar pretty much levels the field with them and Dollar General.
If you want your mind blown to have an idea of how proflific dollar stores are , google "dollar general stores per state" approx 13000 stores nationally....1300 stores in Texas alone!

I read his post 3 times. failed to find the part where he said "Dollar Tree takes coupons." I mean it may be there, but GDit i can not find it.
He mentioned me using coupons, which I do occasionally, and I assumed he meant at Dollar Tree. I checked and although they take printed coupons, they carry such odd sizes and brands that it would be hard to find one that works.
Mackeral is a poor man's canned salmon. It's pretty good with a nice dill sauce.
Love the Dollar Tree, Ollies and Big Lots. When my wife and I go out to dinner on a Friday night, we'll usually hit one of the pretty good Mexican restaurants in our little town, then head out for some shopping. My wife's pretty easy to entertain. Just more evidence of my being the most blessed guy in the world.
shoulda made the store bigger hence more dollas
the story goes, a couple of friends bought a truck to sell apples from. They would buy apples for a dollar then sell them for a dollar. Quickly one realized they were not making money only for the other to say they shoulda bought a bigger truck....jus sayin

My parents cats love the cat treats they get at Dollar General. The cats won't even touch the more expensive stuff.
You can find some sneaky good deals at Big Lots and sometimes Ollies. One time I got a Nike watch at Big Lots for like $20.
Was she hoping they were 2 for a $1?
It might have been “sauce” but I’d question if it was “bbq sauce”.
Best thing to get from dollar tree is batteries. Get 8 Panasonic batteries for a buck - name brand is 5 bucks at retail stores.
So help me God, if my wife ever even suggested that we jointly peruse a Dollar Tree after dinner on a Friday night, I would throw a fit that would make the Old Testament Lord look calm and considerate.
Grow a pair of nuts, buddy.
My pair of nuts has contributed to 34 years of happy marriage....besides a trip to the Dollar Tree is a small price to pay for about an hour or so of unlimited satisfaction that ends the evening. You oughta try it sometime.
