.99 store complaint

 Does anybody have a .99 or $1.00 store that actually still sells ALL items
for this amount? There are several near me, and all of them are trying to
pry more out of the customers by raising prices about that threshold.
Certain items, like cheap little power strips have doubled in price. I buy
less now than ever. How about you?

No.  Around here, the "Dollar Tree" chain sometimes sells items at
2/$1 or even 4/$1.  I haven't seen anything there for more than a buck.

"Family Dollar", a lot of items at multiples of a dollar.  The
independent stores mostly have both dollar items and items that cost more.

I suppose it's the same problem "dime stores" had back in my
childhood.  Inflation creeps up on you.

Same here.  They are the most consistent in pricing, and usually have
the best selection.  (Which is not to say that there won't be some items
one can find at other dollar stores that they don't carry.)


I don't think Family Dollar was *ever* a true "dollar store".


True, but when almost everything in a "dollar store" is more than a
dollar, it does seem like deceptive advertising.
