        the places are typically filled with low income folks. got to buy selectively in there because a lot of stuff is a big rip off.

              You realize just how bad other stores are ripping you off when you shop at a dollar store. Its a eye opener. If you walk in there with a 20 you can walk out like a king.

                  Who gives a shit if it's "ghetto," you can get better deals there and anybody who judges you negatively by where you buy your toothpaste is a complete tool anyway.

                          I love shopping at Family Dollar, so many common things are cheaper in there like soap shampoo things like that. Also poptarts and other food like that. Sometimes they got deals on plain white t's, and air freshnor spray.

                            Dollar store target market is white t, not blacks. So not ghetto to shop there. More of a hillbilly Neiman Marcus.

                                      If you live across the street from a store you might live in the ghetto yourself.

                                        I have a dollar store a block away from me and I shop there. Just cleaners, paper towels, tp, etc. Never food. The cookies look like shit.

                                          Dollar stores here in Australia tend to be in malls, at least where I live so you see them all of the time. And they have awesome deals - especially if you have kids. I don't buy toiletries from there because I'm pretty picky about that stuff but when I'm near one I'll grab cleaning supplies and a few cheap toys that I know my son will just get sick of in a day anyway as he would with most expensive ones. Doesn't make any sense to pay more for a product that does the same thing or will eventually end up in the rubbish bin anyway.

                                              No its necessarily ghetto. Dollar stores have some great items and many garbage items. Also there are some items that you really should spend more than a dollar on.

                                                My area is not the ghetto, but there is 2 big housing projects(stapleton & park hill), a half mile from me. Dunno why the chinese opened the store here, but its kool. Just have to find shit on my own. They don't speak 1 word of english.

                                                    Ahh, I see youre in Staten Island, say what up to Ghost for me, lol. Dollar Stores are the bomb if you dont know it or not, you can save a lot of money there.

                                                            If DG sold beer and smokes it would be the only place outside of a grocery store that i would shop.

                                                                I shop at Wal-Mart because it's one of my only choices where I live. There are some good ones, but most of them are full of trashy mutha fukkaz. You'll see some shit at Wal-Marts that you won't see anywhere else, especially in the South.
