Economy is doing so great, people can’t afford Dollar General anymore.

[Vandelay]

If anything, Dollar General is more expensive for the demographic they target. They cut deals with manufacturers to make smaller versions of products on Walmarts/Targets shelves while the prices remain higher per oz/lb.

And their meat items in the fridge/frozen aisles are

Thats bc dollae general aint really a dollar. Why buy lower quality sht when you can buy same sht at a regular store with higher quality ?


dollar general and familar dollar need a lesson in market differentiation

Stop flooding them unnecessarily high priced ass stores in low income areas My hometown got one damn near on every street. I would try to go there but then I end up going elsewhere because it’s expensive. Take the word Dollar out of your name.. you’re just the General Store now.

I got three dollar generals within walking distance of my house.
Maybe that is a factor into why they are losing money and increasing prices?

The vast majority of americans dont own stocks and one company doing bad on the stock market is no indicator of the economy being in turmoil at large, the economy is solid, numerous months of solid job growth and wages have been going up beyond inflation, this is just another right wing propaganda thread to shill for trump and get people to vote for the bigot.

Good for steak and eggs. Or a steak sandwich. Not good for a steak dinner. shyts was paper thin and falling apart before you even put them on the grill. Probably disintegrate if you tried to grill them

Reason I posted that because it reminds me of those cheap burgers you can buy in a box that are paper thin. I forgot the name but they came in an orange and white box and the taste came back to me mentally

A Dollar Tree that I normally shopped at closed down recently after being there for many many years. There's another one I go to now, but the allure of shopping (treasure hunting) at the Dollar Store died a few years ago.

Dollar stores aren't a bargain anymore, unfortunately. While you get blinded by things being a dollar, in reality, you're getting less for the money you're spending when it all adds up.
