Products are less expensive because they’re smaller
To be able to maintain a product at 1$ price, dollar stores usually sell smaller products than normal retailers.
Which means you’re happy to save some bucks at that moment but end up going back to the store to buy new items sooner that anticipated. According to Cheapism, other retailers, such as Walmart, also use this practice to attract customers.

I like Dollar Tree where EVERYTHING is $1. Some things are great buys,as others can be hardly worth a filler. You have to be a smart shopper. Well worth going there.
Some times it’s not the cost of what you are buying, it’s the aggravation you have to put up with from the store management. IE You park your vehicle at the North end of the building, at a certain time, they lock the doors at the south end of the building, then guess what? the only check out counter that is open, you guessed it the one on the south end of the building, Now your done shopping in the food dept, which is at the North end of the building, you have to travel all the way to the South end of the building to check out, after you are checked out now you have to travel back to the North end of the building to get to where you parked your vehicle!! This is Walmart management way of thinking.
Some of the comments just drip condescension.
We love our Dollar General here at Shellman Bluff Georgia. It is the best!
at 1.25 a lot of items are less expensive elsewhere
