It's called Dollar General, but do they mean, (a) Dollar (in) General? You'll be hard pressed to find the dollar deals. I bought a couple water noodles which were a dollar each. I entered hoping to find car deodorizer on the cheap. Instead it was priced $3-$5 dollars. Not bad, but not a dollar either.
I walked the store, which looks like an obstacle course. In a sense, it's a "free-for-all". Alike a store that has been going out of business for some time.
Most items are priced same as stuff found at CVS, Walgreens or Ace hardware. It is my assumption there are locals that seek this store in the hopes of finding deals. However, I can tell you from my own shopping, much of this is regularly priced. Regarding selections; they carry so many varieties of products that it could be known as a junior Wal-Mart store. There is much to look through if you don't mind the mess. Items such as personal products, swimming attire for children, household products, some toys, random clothing, glassware, cutlery, garden gimmicks and more.
The store is disorderly and disorganized. I feel sorry for store employees that (probably) spend their whole days straightening products. Imagine a store that went through an earthquake. That's what it looks like.
Strange occurrence: I asked for a price check and the counter-person pulled out a phone to scan the barcode. Here's the oddity. She could have scanned it at her register but didn't. Instead using an app on a smartphone. Was it a Dollar general app or a general barcode scanning application. If the latter, this means they are charging regular pricing on items found at a Dollar store alternative. That's deceptive marketing. read more
