I do, too, now, but I didn't always. And some things
that I prefer they don't have at the dollar store - like
Puffs Plus in the large boxes, or the right kind of Bounty
Paper Towels. I started going to the Dollar General about
5 years ago. I get a lot of stuff there that I used to
get at the supermarket.
