     I think we have a Dollar Tree here, but on the other side of town.   
     Several years ago I was in a Dollar Tree in another town.  A woman in   
   front of me at check out had a cart load of things.   
     She would pick up an item and asked the clerk how much.   
     $1.   
     She picked up something else and asked the price.   
     $1   
     This went on for several items and the clerk finally said, "Ma'am,   
   everything in the store is one dollar".  :)   
      
   > I admit to shopping Dollar Tree a lot as they have many of the basics I   
   need.    
      
      I do a lot of shopping at Dollar General for basics.     
      People talk about how cheap things are a big blue box store but they   
   aren't.  DG has them beat on just about everything.

   usually will go to four or five stores to get what I want.     
      
     I know which stores have the best prices on various items and the best   
   selection.   
     For general daily items Aldi is best for food.   
     Sav-a-lot for meat.   
     DG for general household items.   
     I very seldom buy name brand items.  About 98 per cent of my items are   
   store brand which is just as good as name brand.   
     I worked once with a woman who had worked for Kellogg in Battle Creek,   
   MI.   
     She said from 0800 to midnight Kellogg corn flakes came off the line.   
     From midnight to 8 it was a store brand.   
     Same food item, same process, just put in different boxes.
