> The food there make me sad, though. It’s almost exclusively crap.
It depends upon what type of food you are looking for. If you are looking for branded things like pop, chips, chocolates/candy etc, then they are very good deal.

Dollar Stores are hit and miss. I needed some emergency earbuds for a trip. Wow, I didn't know you could manufacture earbuds that sounded that bad, even at the $1 price point. I am by no means an audiophile either.
Can you give a more specific example of this? Like if it's two different brands of "chicken noodle soup", then I'd assume the ingredient list could/would change.
But are you saying that a can of Campbell's chicken noodle soup in the dollar store is different from the Campbell's can at Walmart? e.g. the same brand ingredients change?
It was about two years ago when I checked. I noticed an item in the refrigerated section at Dollar Tree, where the item was $1, yet I had just purchased the same item at the grocery for more money. I purchased the item at Dollar Tree and compared the ingredients.
Then I checked one other item, as it occurred to me. It was idle curiousity more than anything else. I know there much be some difference between the item at a dollar store and the item at a non-dollar store, either expiration, item size, item ingredients, or something else.
