Many folks have been doing their regular grocery shopping there nowadays, hence the empty shelves. Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon. Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor. Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

Keith That's just what I do, drive a couple miles and check the next dollar whatever store Ours are usually stocked up, maybe because they're rural. And yes sometimes it looks like a bomb went off in them. Seems like they have a large crew that goes to each store every couple weeks and stocks heavy and cleans up the mess. It gets that way because they usually only have one or two people working and they just can't keep up with stock and running the register ... and standing around smoking outside in the parking lot. www.iowatrapperstalk.com

Trapper7 trapper T Joined: Dec 2006 MN, Land of 10,000 Lakes	Originally Posted by Lazarus Went to the Dollar Store today to buy some of the items I typically buy for fall trapping season. Things like canned Jack Mack, the 1 pound chub of salt, and sometimes they had these small boxes of Borax. Not anymore. The one food isle in the store was decimated. Where there used to be a variety of canned goods, there is now only a few scattered little envelopes of food items instead. Cans of tuna have been replaced with little envelopes of tuna chunks. The shelves used to be full of all sorts of soups, vegetables and fruits. No more. Dang, lost my source of cheap lure and bait making materials. Went over to the local Wally World and prices were exactly triple what I used to pay at the Dollar Store. RIP Dollar Store. I've tried the packets of tuna. They aren't nearly as good as the canned kind, seemed more mushy to me. SIGN ON A FARMER'S FENCE: Do not cross this field unless you can do it in 9 seconds because the bull can do it in 10.

Yes sir RIP the Dollar in general We got 3 bags of basic food products two days ago at Walmart 55$ I can't afford food anymore. We live with our folks, and grandparents. If it wasn't for them we would all be on some govt assistance program that gives us free food. I've never don't that and don't plan on it, but things haven't been great the last 16 months. I work for Walmart as asset protection at the moment. Catching people all the time just stealing small stuff some of it food, and they just can't afford anything anymore. Retail is headed to the septic as the dollar crashes with record inflation. Wild times.

The dollar generals are decent but tend to be kind of dirty. I don't know where the nearest family dollar is anymore. Seems like they have all gone out of business around here. There is one storefront down town where one was 10 years ago that is now being remodeled and it looks like they are putting in a family dollar/ dollar tree combo.

The one closest to me is old, gross, understaffed, ane have giant carts blocking every other isle. Theyve recently been limited on hours they are open. Im guessing they pay less than every other place in the area because most of thr employees they do actually get are likely the very bottom of the hiring pool. The amount of cigarette butts along the store after the snow melted was something to behold. And they stayed there for weeks.
