Dollar Tree

As something of a bargain hunter, you’ll catch me from time to time making a stop by one of our local dollar stores.
Off the bat, I knew I wasn’t going to like this chain as much as I do the 99 Cents Only. As Kristin points out, it’s on the side of dirty and the selection is nothing to write home about.
Sure, there are redeemers floating around, if you spend the time. I am partial to picking up cleaning supplies in places like this, where you get a gallon and a half of bleach for a buck.
Regardless, there are better places that do what this store intends to do in a smoother, more cleanly presented package.

I’ve been in fancy dollar stores and dang ghetto dollar stores. But I can normally always find a few items with some redeeming quality.
My first impression of this location was that is was dirty. And it was. Looked like maybe they’d gotten a shipment that day, but once I noticed it, I saw little stuff almost everywhere. So It gets 2 ½ stars for dirtiness. Then — it tries to have a little of everything, but that means that there is only a LITTLE of everything. Not great selections.
Gotta say, I was on the second to last row before I found my redeeming item. A large box of coarse kosher salt for $ 1. Nice. Next aisle, some metal skewers w/​plastic «stay cool» handles for roasting marshmallow’s. Bam. I found my dollar store goodness.
Service was slow with just one register open, though the girl was nice once ya got there.
I might make a second pass again since it’s in the neighborhood, but I’m not planning that trip any time soon.
