9. Dollar stores affect competition
Let’s face it, because of their discounts, a lot of people tend to go to dollar stores, and that may not be a good thing for other retailers. A recent study has shown that only one of three dollar stores sells fresh products like fruits and vegetables. Wow! However, despite this fact, a lot of shoppers are attracted by the $1 advertising. I guess paying less money for unhealthy stuff is OK for some. What would you choose?
Eat healthy and do your shopping at your local grocery store even if you end up paying a bit more money, or stay on a budget and go to dollar stores? Whatever you decide, make sure you are a wise shopper as well as a bargain hunter!

Perhaps the chain grocery stores should take a look at their prices as they are driving the mass of customers to the Dollar stores…It seems the only place one can cut cost is here as you have a choice of where to shop…Plus the near empty shelves also is a factor…

I ONLY BUY CLEANING SUPPY
Thank God for the dollar store`s !!!!
I shop at 3 – yes, 3 – grocery stores regularly because the major grocer, Publix, changes to new products so often I can’t get what I want so I go elsewhere. I have to buy 24 cans at a time from Chewy because this area doesn’t get cat food regularly – but go to South Florida upscale neighborhoods and there you will find all the cat food you want – at inflated prices. This year my grocery bill has gone up at Publix by more than 30%. Inflation isn’t an excuse. The big stores are gouging us. No wonder we look for deals elsewhere.
