I don't know what I'm doing when I grocery shop and found myself with $40 leftover after payday for grub. Went into this Dollar General and grabbed a basket thinking I'd have to rush and make it to the grocery store afterwards, breaking a few traffic laws since it was almost closing time at the other corner market. 20 minutes later, I find myself going outside to grab a cart instead of the little basket I snagged (the store was packed with inventory!) I wheeled back in with the same uncomfortable uneasiness that follows a now poor, divorced guy everywhere he goes and transferred my overfilled hand-basket into my cart... off I go! I found a big jug of laundry detergent for one BUCK (gotta figure out how to use that still), my kitties favorite treats for ultra CHEAP, more than half a grocery cart full of side dishes to go with my Top Ramen lunch noodles, for next to nothing, Chicken Soup, Pizza Rolls, chocolate, salsa, kitty litter (whew!), bologna, peanut butter, bread, and a bunch more for almost exactly the money I came in with! I even got pepperoni, almonds, Fiddle Faddle, and 10 other snacks I felt like I didn't deserve with only $40!!! I couldn't be more pleased to be able to feed my furry friends and have some dinner myself with many things I normally could not have gotten at the corner store and still count on making it until next payday with grub. Say what you want about big business, this time... they helped ME. Thank you Dollar General. Oh, the store was a bit messy but even when the workers were on break, they were still cleaning things up as some big Valentines day sale happened that day. They looked like they'd been through a storm but still had a helpful hand to my endless barrage of questions about "does 2 for 1 mean I need somebody with me?" and a smile to boot. My kind of place; they deserve a raise. I'll be back, no kidding. And I won't have to ask so many questions next time.
