Saw a sign on the Dollar Tree door yesterday that said “ Dollar Tree Plus”as I was going inside to get birthday cards....was surprised to find many items are now $3 and $5....this must be an attempt to move some Family Dollar merchandise into these stores as they close them. I know they are owned by the same company....but a bit disappointing to pick up something that is $5 in my good ol’ Dollar Tree...it was mostly name brands but not many larger sizes. Do you think this will help or hurt their sales?

Hurt it. When shoppers go into a Dollar Tree they expected to pay $1.00, that's the reason for going there...you would think management would understand that simple fact. Shoppers can go to any discount store to pay more & get a larger selection of items too. Two local Dollar Generals closed because it's a dollar store that isn't really a $1.00 store so why make the same mistake with Dollar Tree....good grief.

I have enjoyed DOLLAR TREE, just for that reason, that anything you picked up was , indeed, a DOLLAR!!.....I have never even been in any of the other so called "dollar" stores....

I go to Dollar General fairly often and even though not everything is $1 I do save money on things like cat food, paper products, bottled water, etc.

I love Dollar Tree! I don’t like having to figure out the price of something because it isn’t marked or it was out on the wrong shelf...or even worse, having to scan it myself to see how much it is....doesn’t work most of the time anyway...Dollar Tree is the only so-called dollar store I visit ...the others are full of old, expired merchandise that I would never buy....and very few things are one dollar!

I don’t even think we have a Dollar General here...the only ones I have been in were while we were on vacation or out of town for other reasons.

Am wondering if I need to stock up on greeting cards....I hope they don’t raise the prices for those....😬

DH said they bought out Family Dollar not Dollar General

[lovesrecess]

Okay! I stand corrected...the merchandise must be coming over from Family Dollar then...to me, they are the same thing since we have neither of them in our area. Glad you cleared that up!
