What did we do before someone invented the dollar store? Well, sure, we went to the five and dime. What is next? It doesn't seem to make sense to have another five in there, and even a ten wouldn't really be right. Maybe we should jump straight to twenty.
Anyway, the dollar tree is the cream of the crop when it comes to the dollar stores - generally nice enough, and staff that is cheerful most days, they even give you carts at the door to stash your loot and accepts plastic. It takes a lot of stuff at a dollar each to fill up a cart, even one of the small ones that they have.
