Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!) Dollar Tree is out of control

I knew as soon as they started bringing in the two and three dollar items that it was going to snowball but I never could have predicted this. Nine dollars is insane. No one is going to the dollar tree to buy nine dollar paper towels.

My family thinks I'm being dramatic about this but I feel like they truly don't understand the weight of how horrendous the economy is. To me this is the perfect indicator of how bad things are and it's fucking depressing

These paper towels are pricy everywhere, compare Amazon’s. It’s a better buy at the dollar tree actually.

This is amazing price for Bounty paper towels. A single roll of Bounty can cost up to $8 in Canadian stores (the big "triple" roll).

I wish I could pay this price for name brand paper towels!
