Maybe HN is richer than I thought, but I shop at Dollar Stores all the time and have a very good paying job. And I’m not alone, it’s not just poor people who shop there (go to the one in Daly City and see the clientele).
This thread comes across as incredibly out of touch. It’s like a bunch of upper middle class who imagine themselves lower middle class and anyone who shops at Walmart (yuck!) or Dollar Store must be destitute. Despite those stores being pretty average places to shop for most Americans.
You can get killer deals there. They tend to sell two different things:1) excess stock they got cheap and sell cheap and 2) normally high margin items for less.
Their health section is amazing compared to say CVS or Walgreens. We’re talking 80% cheaper for the same thing.

Not everything is cheaper but a lot of it is.
