>And Dollar Tree does not sell groceries (at least not any I've ever been to).

May be regional, because all of them around here do. At least canned/dry goods and frozen foods. Teeny-tiny steaks. No fresh produce, obviously.

Dollar Tree doesn't sell fresh groceries, but they certainly sell food.

But even if you ignore food, the point applies to all sorts of things (cosmetics, clothing, pharmacy, etc) people go to both for at a low price point.

Dollar Tree sells nonperishable and frozen-foods.
