Same with those dollar stores. They come into poor areas and drive out the small local grocers, then you get a worse product and it's your only choice.
For the masses Dollar General is not a dollar store. That place blows.
Dollar Tree is the closest large chain that still adheres to cheap as fuck goods but the quality is super shit as expected often with quantity reduced to essentially match regular goods when bought in bulk anyway.
Family Dollar next best with discounts but not great.
Dollar General is often more expensive than regular stores.
Yes, they also work in a fashion where they don't truly step on the toes of walmart, lest they also be crushed.
