Values

Sadly, the only local non-chain dollar store closed this spring. When the store was forced out of its original space last year, the owner moved to a much smaller space to stay in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, stock space and business decreased too much for him to make a go of the location. 

It was a shame to see him and his family go. He was a good buyer, and I'll miss the possibility of surprise his stock offered.

I'll also miss having purchases put into bags from unknown supermarkets, located somewhere or other. These, like the stock, must have been bought in close-out lots.

Bags varied from trip to trip, and this one was the best.

Such happy throwback people...
