I am a $1 store junkie, but an educated one. I can smell a rat withing 5 minutes of entering any store that advertises one dollar sales and once you get in you find that there are some $1 items, but there is also $2, $3, $4, $5 and up, a plenty,  I’ve seen items marked up to $25 in one such store, all of which to me sounds to much like false advertising.

My favorite of all of them is the Dollar Tree, they have great variety in their selected items that we all need and use and they are truly only $1, you will find nothing in that store that is sold for over $1. Now they do at times have items that are 2 for a dollar, but I can’t fuss about that because that is truly a better deal.

The store at our local mall that advertises $1 purchases really doesn’t have anything but a bunch of crap and they have recently started placing things that are more then one dollar and they are losing business aplenty for it. That is the mall for ya though.

And for the past few years at the local Flea Market there has been a group of Asian guys that have been selling like crazy via hundreds of tub and crates full of $1 items and they are making a killing there, and pissing off some of the other vendors in the process.
