I don't know why anyone would waste time to make a seperate trip to a dollar store to get toilettries. I just get all of mine at Kroger when I go grocery shopping. A little more expensive, but worth eliminating extra trips.

There's a Walmart in the same shopping center as my typical grocery store, so it makes sense to make two separate trips. I probably don't save a lot per trip, granted, but it adds up over the long run, especially on stuff like paper towels, toilet paper, and cleaning supplies.

No, Dollar Tree is an "everything is a dollar" store. Family Dollars is what happens if you mix a Wal-Greens with a Wal-Mart and took out the pharmacy.

Wow, I know everyone here is over-opinionated and ill-informed, and I know general ignorance of "dollar stores" is quite prevalent, but this makes me feel a bit better about not knowing shit of programming languages.

Referring of course to the post you were replying to, since nested quotes are satanic?

A sure sign that the economy has recovered-company to close 370 stores, lay off loads of people and the stock price goes up.

I like these places for the candy. At least, I used to. You could get 8 reeses cups for a buck. Most places charge you like 60-70 cents for two.
