First off I never and I mean never go to these stores. I don't like the feel or vibe they usually give off. To put it frankly they give me the heebie-jeebies. Just moving into the neighborhood my son asked, "What is Family Dollar?" I told him it was kind of like a Big Lots but not as good. He asked, can we go? So against my better judgement on a Friday after school we went. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, after I politely told the homeless person standing outside I did not have any cash. The area seems a little sketchy. They had my Starbucks bottled White Mocha coffees for $2.49, my son's favorite Tasty Kakes and $.95 Lunchables. (Which we purchased with the addition of a $1.00 box of granola bars and a $.85 bottle of Gatorade for person outside). They have a trove of hidden treasures just waiting to be purchased. Some of it cheap and some of it can be found elsewhere for a better price. I think this store will be a keeper on my list if I need something quick. Several aisles devoted to grocery and home goods. A small apparel section with some pretty good deals. And all of the staff that work there are all pleasant and efficient. read more
