Where on Earth did Dollar Stores appear from? I think the Government uses them as Commodity Distribution Centers. They dont have that Government Cheese any more do they? Like when you could go get Generic Food(at least thats what it looked like with the White and Brown Packages with black lettering) from a distribution point designated by someone as "The Place". You used to be able to get Cheese, Peanut Butter, Honey, Rice, Instant stuff like Milk and Potatoes, Maccaroni. All kinds of stuff. They may still do that but I havent seen or heard of it in a long time. They still need a way to get things into the hands of the poorer Americans so what better way than to build Dollar Stores? You can get about anything you need to wash your ass, scrub your teeth, cure a cold, and bake a Cake. A person could get tired trying to look at everything availible in a dollar store. But if you think about it, they have everything else you cant get with Food Stamps. And it you have an allowance for Aluminum foil and Deoderant, why not get it for a Dollar? Need a gift for a Birthday? Thats a dollar! Need Batteries for that gift? Thats a dollar! Need to wrap that Gift? Thats a Dollar too!
Lets say you are the one throwing that Party.
Cake Mix, Frosting, Candles and a Pan to Bake it in: 4 Dollars
2 Kinds of Party Favors for 8: 2 Dollars
Party Napkins cups plates for 8: 6 dollars tops
2 Bottles of Juice: 2 dollars
Decorations, Table cloth: 2 Dollars
See for 20 Dollars, you have done it up right
I dont know why I find it so funny to go by a Walmart and see a Dollar store right there by it. Who in their right mind would build a dollar store right in the parking lot of the worlds largest dollar store? Talk about a Business plan to fail. Some of the things you find in a Dollar Store too. You used to have to spend 20 dollars on an Arcade game when the fair came to town to win this crap. Now you dont need to play the dozers for an hour and 30 bucks to win a pair of fingernail clippers. Just go to the Dollar store. Those Carnies must just be chapped. Hell that just might be the answer. Those Carnies got a line on the Carnival Suppliers and have now opened up Dollar Stores across the U.S. Ive never seen anyone who owns one of these Dollar Stores. That could be the answer to the whole mystery.

I love dollar stores...we used to have one around here as well...altough it wasnt called a dollar store..since we dont use "real money" as the american toursits call it. (american tourist: How much is this melon? Clerk: that will be 25 kroner. American tourist: How much is that in real money?) The store was called Max 20...meaning everything cost 20 kr or less...then they changed it to just Max..increasing the value to 50...and now you can get stuff at all prices..so im thinking, whats the point? Now it has lost its charm..its just a store with a whole lot of crap like every other store...
I'm OK with Dollar Stores, however, I don't buy items from China! I don't feel people with kids should either. It has come to light much too often lately about that the Chinese lack strict guidelines protecting the consumer.
Let's start another conspiracy theory - China is trying to "Dummy Down" America by putting lead in children's toy, chemicals in food, etc....
What do you think?
