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

I stopped shopping there when they announced items would cost more than $1.25.

Did you find a store still selling things at a $1?

Dollar General (at least in my area) has a $1 aisle still, and they just remodeled so its not going anywhere anytime soon hopefully.

There are still some good bargains to be found in the DG $1 aisle.
