I finally figured out why the Dollar General Store removed the actual word "Dollar" from their signs and replaced them with DG Market. I just stopped in one. There ain't nothing in that store for a dollar. I was needing some bleach to do some cleaning on the outside of my shop and the concrete before I pressure washed. The bleach I used to buy in there for this purpose for $1 (3 qt size of the concentrate) is now $3.70!!!!!!! OUCH!!!!!!
The price of every has certainly went up. If the price has not went up the quantity has been reduced. Often times they have reduced the quantity and raised the price
Yep, the days of “Dollar General” are long gone, sad to say.:(

Saw an article about Dollar General some time back. Stating the cost per unit is often higher than other places to shop
To keep the name true, they could always just charge a $1 cover charge. rotfl
Don't give them any ideas
I was stocking up on canning lids the other day and noticed the price of a new pressure canner is up a good $80 from what they were this time last year. I had to buy a new one last year that is compatible
with the induction cooktop we installed. Its over $60 more now.
It will likely get worse. That canner could possibly become priceless
Im holding onto other Presto canner even though it will not work on the new cooktop. It will work on a hotpad if I ever need it.
Or a camp stove or a camp fire, propane burner. Those old ones were versatile
I'm very sure everyone knows why it will get worse!Quote:

I love my propane camp stove. I still use it when camping with my RV. Even though it has both and inside and outside kitchen, the clean up on the portable stove is so much easier. I always cook bacon and sausage on it when making breakfast to keep from getting grease buildup inside the camper. And, when I have friends ( either staying with me or neighboring campers) eating and we're cooking a large meal, it gives me 2 extra burners. I've actually used it at home after a storm while the power was out. Lots of the "old" stuff is very convenient and versatile. I still have my shower tent I used years before I bought the camper, and Sun Shower water bags. I've used them at home too after a storm and so has the wife. We have a large concrete patio so we can put the tent right at the backdoor to walk in and out of it without the neighbors being able to see. Boil some water on the camp stove, mix it with some cold water to the the temp right and take a nice warm shower everyday. Amazing how all this stuff comes in handy for other situations.Quote:
