Note sure if one is better than the other … the high end dollar stores like dollar general and family dollar over price there shit… and dollar tree where everything is like 1.50 to $5 stuff is most likely almost outdated or cheaply made

@Tenletters I was in a dollar store in Florida in December and bought 20 washcloths for $5. Not best quality but we have a big family, so it was worth worth it to have extras for all the bathrooms

@Tenletters my kids want to go shopping across the border over the next few weeks so I thought maybe I will check out a decent dollar store there

@Jenny1234 Well if it is Canada that is across the border for you we don’t have dollar stores – we have Loonie stores and the best one is Lucky Loonies. If you will be using American money you will be getting your $1 things for about 87 cents each because of the exchange. Cheers and happy weekend!

@Nanoose I’m in Canada. We have dollar stores where I live but my kids want to see what what’s in the American dollar stores.

@Jenny1234 in the cities you are best to go to the independent ones. If they are run by Asians or Arabs the better - they are more likely to operate on a tiny profit margin.

ABC and Ocean state Job Lots are good for the majors

@Jenny1234 there still should be some no name ones. Usually amongst a cluster of stores
