Photos Where the Dollar Store Live Up to its Reputation
Americans have plenty of options when it comes to buying pretty much anything. Huge malls and supermarkets have everything you could ask for in one place, but sometimes you're looking for something different. An experience, maybe. A cheaper experience that can surprise you with items you didn't know you needed, and now are an essential part of your identity.
That's when you make a trip to the dollar store to get candy, energy drinks, and whatever you find while exploring the tumultuous aisles. In dollar stores, you can find trading cards or even older comic books that could sell well in other places, but that's not why you go. You want something else. Cheap knockoffs, bootleg toys that look out of your nightmares, and lots and lots of boxes just lying around, making everything difficult. That's what is all about.
So, here are some photos where the dollar store and its customers lived up to its reputation.
