(9,888 posts)Dollar stores have produce? I have more dollar stores around me than you can shake a stick at, but I never saw produce there. Is this a west thing? I'm in the Philadelphia 'burbs. We have dollar stores everywhere and more go up every month. They are horrible but I guess a necessary evil for some things. Everybody shops there and seems to love them, not just people who are elderly and on fixed incomes.
I was traveling in the west a couple years ago and we were eating breakfast in Utah. We got to talking to the waitress and she told us that the closest store was WalMart and it was three hours away. Yikes! A really different way of life. You don't forget to get something from the store when you live there! I would have been a little skeptical except we hadn't seen a store in days, so clearly they were few and far between.
