This dollar general store recently opened up, conveniently located directly off SR 207 at the corner of Hilltop Rd. I drive by it virtually every day, so I figured I would swing in and check it out to see what this place was all about.
First thing I noticed- this Dollar General is a bit bigger than most other DG stores in the area. Also, it was built within the last few months, so everything is shiny and clean. The parking lot is HUGE, and it's fairly easy to get to right off the highway.
The pros- there are LOTS of great bargains to be had here in this DG. 12 packs of Bud and Bud Light for 10 bucks. Not into fashion? Super cheap socks and underwear. Lots of UF Gators and FSU Seminoles t-shirts and hats. Cleaning and automotive supplies. Makeup and medicines. Food. All dirt cheap, most around $1.00. I found a lot of great bargains in this place, and if I was really, REALLY on a budget, I would make this a weekly fixture in my shopping routine.
The cons- the selection isn't super impressive, although I guess the point of this store is to save money. You can find a lot of great deals here in a lot of different products, but it isn't like shopping at Target. The employees are also few and far between, so if you need help with something, or if you go at a busy time, be prepared to wait in line at the register. They are nice and courteous, though.
Overall, a cool place to shop if you need to save some money, or if you want to swing in and give it a visit. Found some cool bargains, and I was quite surprised at the selection of merchandise. Won't make this a go-to shopping experience yet, but will definitely be back. read more
