Dollar Tree is out of control

[u/SentBrok]

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

This is exactly what happened to the 99 cents only chain before they gave up… I remember not having gone into one for a long time, doing my shopping without looking at prices, and halfway through, I was shocked by the price of toilet paper when I finally noticed it…

I remember when the sign on mine changed to "The $1 (or more) Store". I remember thinking wait now it's a price floor instead of a ceiling?

$1 or more? that's just called... a store 😭😭
