I’ll buy that for a dollar!
Posted February 5, 2008 at 11:02 pm by basilWent shopping at Dollar Tree the other day.
If you’re not familiar with Dollar Tree, it’s a store where everything’s a dollar. They’re headquartered in Virginia, although their first store opened in Georgia.
Anyway, lot of cheap stuff … and I don’t just mean in price. Lots of stuff about like what you might expect for a dollar.
Still, you can find some good deals on some stuff.
So, we’ll look for a deal there.
And, the other day, we were there.
Now, hold that thought.
Let’s move over to, say, Winn Dixie, K-Mart, or some other store. When you go in, you pick up a sale flyer. At least, I do. To see what’s on sale, you understand.
Okay, back to Dollar Tree.
We were there the other day, and there, inside the door, were posted some flyers.
Think about that.
Stuff that’s normally a dollar, was on sale for … a dollar.
Yes, just look at the flyer. Everything listed is a dollar. Items that normally are … a dollar.
Yeah, I pondered that one for a minute, too.
I’m not sure what I think about it.
I think it might just be best if I don’t think about it. After all, I’m not sure they thought about it, either.

Obviously, even selling everything at a dollar, their profit margins are such that they can afford to waste the money they spent on the fliers.
And people think our economy is going in the tank…
