Dollar Tree Disillusionment
After a trip to Dollar Tree Monday, I have been pretty much depressed about it . I knew the $1.25 price point was coming, but I wasn't aware it was going to be every item in the store. I wasn't happy about it, although I understood it. How could they offer all that value for only a dollar anyway? However, the thing that set me off on a rant was something else totally unexpected. The first thing we picked up was $5! Many other items we looked at were $3, and it literally flabbergasted us. All that store shelf real estate used to be full of all kinds of goodies that you knew were only $1. This is a good point to mention that ever since Dollar Tree has been in existence, my husband has never missed the opportunity to ask me multiple times per shopping trip, "How much is this?" He has always found it hysterically funny! When we went in this time he immediately commented, "Now I can REALLY ask you, 'How much is this?'" There have been so many changes...
