My local Dollar twenty five tree raised their prices awhile ago. I'm surprised that I'm hearing about this just now from other people.
Their $3-5 section is interesting. Although, to me, the whole point of dollar tree was getting several items for a couple bucks, I can't deny that there are several items in the $5 category that are great deals. For example, I noticed a box of 6 premium ice cream popsicle bars. Those go for a couple bucks for just 1 bar at an ice cream truck, and probably at least $2 apiece at a newsstand.
My challenge with dollar tree is the often long line. Ugh. I walk by the store and look inside. If the line is long, I move on.
