    Saving money is always a PLUS! More to gamble with!! a store is a store! It's more on where the store is located! LOL

        If the store is good enough for Randy "The Ram" Robinson, it's good enough for me!

          You should probably be more concerned that you live in the ghetto and living across the street from a dollar store.

            No, not at all. Why pay more for wrapping paper?

              That's the thing. I don't live in the ghetto at the moment. I rent an apartment in a nice condo for $1100. I'm 1 of only 3 black people living here. I dunno why the chinese built a dollar store here. I'm not mad though.

                nothing wrong with the dollar store for a few things, always a quick "in and out" as opposed to the supermarket..

                          Stop caring what people think...

                          I get candy and cleaning supplies from the dollar store. When i'm passing by one.

                          Its a great place to buy pencils, pens, etc...

                          I even get grilling accessories from there [grill lighters, grill scrapers, spatulas]. I dont think a spatula should really cost more than a dollar anyways...

                            Dollar Tree takes Dollar General/Family Dollar/et al.'s lunch money.

                              Only get the envelopes with the peel-and-stick flap. I had some regular ones that got all stuck together from Family Dollar. Fuk them.

                                Not ghetto at all to save some money. Used to shop at the dollar store quite a bit when I was in college and post-graduation.

                                  Your right. Certain shit is good to get from there. Just curious if the products are that much worse than name brand. Walgreens and cvs are fukkin ripoffs.

                                      The only thing I bought from a dollar store was a penknife for $1 and I opened a wine with it and it broke, no more dollar store.

                                          What's funny is this: I haven't found anything wrong with any snacks or whatever I've purchased from dollar stores, but I HAVE found problems with other so-called "legit" stores. I will bump the thread when they gank me.

                                          EDIT:
                                          And maybe it's because you guys are big metropolitan east coast/Northeast people, but they have never dared to put Chinese-labeled products in our dollar stores here in Ohio. I thought you guys were joking at first, but I guess not.

                                              Shop til you drop. Who cares if it's ghetto. I go to a grocery store in my city that many avoid just because it's "ghetto". I save a lot of money, but I avoid going around the first of the month.
