Because I frequently need to purchase extremely large quantities of the same items, doing so as cheaply and quickly as possible makes me very happy.
This particular Dollar Tree is easily accessible, has plenty of parking, is pretty clean for a Dollar Tree (cleaner than the St. John St location, but not as clean as the one by the Maine Mall) and the customers seem to be primarily octogenarians (of which I hope to be one day). I once overheard a woman exclaim to her friend, "I'm excited to see what's in stock today, Betty!" I think it's the same stuff all the time, but their enthusiasm was infectious.
(Side note: I always wondered why Dollar Tree felt the need to send out flyers... we get it, your stuff is a dollar. It's always one single dollar. And - for the most part - we know you're always going to have the same stuff like [but definitely not limited to]: birthday cards, plastic food containers, puzzles, glow sticks, candles, and seasonal stuff like school supplies in August/September, Halloween and autumnal decorations August/September/October/November, Christmas stuff October/November/December, etc.). read more
