Laurajean, a Dollar General Super Store?? Really??! I LOVE Dollar General and would be giddy if a super store one came near here! I go to WM maybe once or twice a year. I get groceries somewhere else and I get household items, toiletries, etc at Dollar General. They have a decent selection of food and some cold stuff, basics. It is never crowded in there and I can always get what I need for say storm preps in there real quick without having to fight people in WM for supplies. Our little town WM is nice and the people are nice enough, I just get way too distracted off my list lol. The WM in the neighboring town makes me so ill every time I go, that I now refuse to go in that one.
Ds and I went in WM today because he was shopping for something for grandma. I found some lamp oil and wicks - have not seen those in a store in ages so I got some of those for the emergency kit.
I'm going to go dream of a DG super store coming to my town LOL!
Carol, it is GREAT and I just love it! I go shopping on Saturdays, and I get a coupon for $5 off $30 for the NEXT Saturday! It has a small grocery section with a little produce area - lettuce, tomatoes, cabbage, peppers, potatoes, bananas, apples, avacados, and even fresh pineapple. They have a small meat section carrying basic meats....chicken breasts, hamburger, pork roasts, etc....nothing gourmet and fancy, but most everything you really need. They have eggs, bread, butter, cheese, yogurt, milk, frozen foods like pizza and flash-frozen fish and chicken breasts, and of course a nice supply of staples....COFFEE (!!!!), cereal, mac-n-cheese, flour, sugar, cake mixes, spices, peanut butter, canned vegetables and fruit....I do most of my basic grocery shopping there. They have better prices than anywhere around. It's not huge and overwhelming - you won't walk yourself to death! And no matter where you park, you are close to the door!
Everyone there is SO nice and helpful, too, which makes it a pleasure to shop there.
I hope you get one, soon, Carol!!
