I can't get too excited one way or the other about a Dollar General Store. Truth be told, the only…read more"dollar store" I go to regularly is a Dollar Tree that's about a three minute walk from my work, and only because they sell a mysterious 20 oz. can of Diet Coke for ... well, you know.
And yet, when my bride and offspring join me sojourning across this great country in our car, and we travel through small 'burgs and 'villes, there is nothing quite as low-brow satisfying as blowing a couple of Andy Jacksons on the abject detritus that fills the shelves of your average Dollar General. Yeah, I know... you NEEDED Oxy-Clean, or PRELL 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner, or a five-pack of tube socks, or a fifteen-pack of Big League Chew, or a bag of raffia, or a LOL-doll coloring book, or a 98¢ pregnancy test (I hope it's good news!)
But most of the time, we truly don't NEED a blessed thing in this store. Still, we'll blow money here like drunks, buying stuff that would make a Goodwill donation guy blush. And that's OK... because Dollar General is about feeling good, even if exiting the establishment is about buying a Power Rangers mask or a big seasonal hat so no one recognizes you walking out and makes you feel bad.
As for this DG, it's a good one-- they have all sorts of stuff. Sure, the prices might head north of a dollar, but it's deeply discounted, and most items have the life expectancy of cut tulips anyway.
Honestly, you could probably find a few treasures in here if you really put the work in, sell them on eBay, and double your money. But that reeks of effort, and besides, we're just passin' through, Pardner. Smoke if you got em, but apparently not in front of the building?
