I was never a fan of 'dollar stores' until we moved here and started going to the Dollar Tree in Omak. The employees are AMAZING. I mean, here is this little dollar store, but it's always busy, and yet the employees always ask you how you are, if they can help you find anything, what you've been up to lately if they know you- many will call customers by name if they frequent it- it's the employees which make this store SHINE!
They carry a wide assortment of 'everything you need' for a buck each- and the quality is about what you'd expect. We go often because many things are cheaper there than elsewhere, but of the exact same brand, size, and quality. In fact, I buy chips/snacks there because I get the same big-name-brand, but in a size somewhere between 'snack' and 'feed an army'. I don't want either- the smaller bag is worth more than a dollar, and it's nice to get the same brands I like everyday.
Some of the better buys are the things you use daily- plastic wrap, leftover food containers, fuzzy socks, writing paper, and all sorts of this-and-that. I have only rarely been disappointed by a product, and they accept a return any time that an item fails to perform as it should- and really, it hasn't happened on more than a couple items- mostly things I might have expected should cost more than a buck. ;)
I just have to give this Dollar Tree a shout-out, because they work HARD in that store, and they are the friendliest folks! If you just tell them what you need- they can find something that will help- or tell you where you can get it! read more
