Dollar General isn’t strictly a dollar store. The Tide Pods were closer to $ 20 per container and the snacks are about the same price as any other store. Their own brand is cheaper but with any of the merchandise, make sure you’re getting the size and ingredients you think you’re getting. That goes for any discount store, really, though. They have Bridgeford meat snacks, which is a good reason for me to shop at Dollar General and they have good coupons on the register tape for an upcoming Saturday. This store was particularly clean and the employee I met was friendly and eager to help.
