Dollar Stores have grown from 20k to 30k stores over the last seven years. Now feeds more Americans.

Buying food at 99 cent stores

Didn't whole foods get busted for allegedly selling products claiming they were organic and really wasn't? I also heard of them selling fugazi EVOO claiming to be organic and from italy.

It's all marketing tho. I only go to Dollar tree for condiments and dish soap.

I was at the Dollar Tree today. I don't buy food there but got a few items for the spot.

I'm working class and trying to build my savings. Not spending a lot on things that are not going to make me any money is the way to go.

I remember a guy bought one of the $1 steaks. It was so thin you could see through parts of it. He described the taste as "concerning"

 

[hustlemania]

No, isn’t aldi Midwest?

And I shop at this spot called Berkeley bowl as well as the farmers markets outs here, mixed in with some traders Joe’s, Safeway and sprouts. Occasionally I’ll hit Whole Foods if I’m near it and it’s the most convenient place to stop to pick up what I may need that night.

im not sure.. i been in NC for a mnute, and they got em out here, and thats the real lick..

Whole Foods bought this chain called GreenLife out here, thats actually a bit better & cheaper than Whole Foods..

 

[Tres Leches]

Never bought food there

 

[newworldafro]

Than Whole Foods.

Damn that's fuucked up. I see what the chart is trying to show, it 8s amazing how much faster it has grown, but I'm sure there are even more grocery shopper that do go to stores that have fresh fruits and vegetables.

99 cents was the only store that sold

So I would go just for that

And they had really good mini watermelons in the summer

I've so many allergies now that I never shop at dolar stores anymore

What are you implying

 

[director_of_bands]

DOLLAR STORES ARE FILLING A VOID THAT BIG CHAIN GROCERY MARKETS LEFT WHEN THEY ABANDONED THE HOOD. CONVENIENCE STORES USED TO HOLD THAT MARKET BUT DOLLAR STORE CHAINS ARE CHEAPER. NOTHING SHOCKING HERE.

Why even compare it to whole foods as if that’s the standard store for average Americans? I make a good living and don’t even shop at Whole Foods due to there being better quality stores that cost less.

On the flip side I don’t shop at dollar stores either

Close enough. Aldi & Trader Joe's are corporate siblings and they're basically the same store.


EDIT:

This video does a good explaining the difference between Aldi & Trader's Joe at the 2:33 mark:

In 2017, Aldi announced they were planning on becoming a major competitor in the US grocery store market, investing a mind-blowing $3.4 billion into current and future American endeavors. If you don't have an Aldi near you now, one might be popping up soon. So, what can you expect? Here's the fascinating history behind this up-and-coming US chain…

$20 in Aldi will have you eating good for a minute..

also.. Harris Teeter late-night when their putting fresh produce in..

the real lick alot of folks sleep on, is hitting the stock people up about "damaged" perishables.. usually get 'em for about 75% off..
