Dollar General has to be the Starbucks of the Pacific North West. If you drive more than a mile without seeing one, you probably aren't looking. This location is really no different than any of the other locations. I think the thing that surprises me the most is the amount of stuff they cram into a space that generally isn't that large. They have a pretty good selection of foods, we're talking staples, not your out of the ordinary items you need for specialty recipes, but can't items, pastas, sauces, some cold food items as well as a pretty good selection of things to drink, including beer and wine. They also have pharmacy type items, pet supplies, cleaning supplies, greeting cards, gift cards and seasonal items. When stuff is out of season they typically run a pretty good sale to move it out and make space for te next specialty item. This location doesn't stand out in any way to any of the other locations I have been in. The thing to keep in mind this is convenience shopping, it keeps you out of Walmart and crowded stores. So some prices may not be the best, but that being said they aren't ridiculous expensive either. They are a good shopping option if you just need an item or two or you want to avoid the after work/weekend crowds you get a the bigger chain stores. read more
