Does DG carry fresh produce? You mention milk, and the article mentions groceries.

My observation has been that they seem to carry the kinds of things that never expire -- high profit, low turnover, little spoilage. Lots of soap, spam and cornflakes, but you wouldn't find many fresh vegetables.

No fresh produce. They are basically a cheaper/dirtier version of CSV/Walgreens.

I go there all the time due to the convenience. It is a mile to Walgreens and a block and half to DG.

Just be sure to check dates on the diet soda as it is often old enough that the sweetener that is no longer sweet.

Edit:

The candy at DG is always top notch. No fear of sugar at the DG.

not as a rule. the one by us had bananas and apples for a while, IIRC, but I think it was just an experiment the manager was trying.
