Nice to see the American chain Dollar Tree store as I'm always hoping to have access to more American goodies that are normally not available here. Sadly, for the most part, the goods were pretty much similar to the Canadian king of "dollar" stores, Dollarama.
Prices are set at a maximum $1.25 but I've got a feeling that might change in the future if the Canadian dollar stays at 1.30 or higher.
Like all consumers, I like low prices and thus find myself in a quandary. Given these type of discount stores have a certain profit margin requirement, not having prices greater than $1.25 might mean having a small selection of products or products that have a poorer quality. Let's face it, a dollar now isn't worth what it was fifty years ago. The five and dime stores are long gone because simply put there would be nothing for sale at those prices.
Granted, higher prices don't always guarantee higher quality but at this point, Dollar Tree's offerings seem like a subset of Dollarama's.
