If you read my reviews, I feel the same way about all dollar stores. They have close to expiration date items for cheap, sometimes they make some items slightly higher than necessary to off set the many cheaply priced items that they sell. If you are not a stickler about name brands, you can definitely find plenty of deals here. One thing that sets this franchise apart from many other similar models are that they have a bigger variety of baby clothes and items, as well as a bigger variety of toys for many dollar stores. It is hit or miss on some items, but if you just want filler items, nothing wrong with giving them a look.
