I don't think they have any here. Dollar Tree most items are $1.50, a few at $1.25, but also now many $5.

Spent the Great Recession in Ollies. It's food selection locally has gone downhill. 15% is June and Nov if you get on their list.

I still find value at Marshall's, but the good stuff disappears fast. All cotton socks for example.

Grocery Outlet has been good, has replaced ALDI and Walmart for me on many weeks.
