“This discount store has approximately 19,000 stores in the US and Mexico. It is headquartered in Tennessee and founded in 1939 as JL Turner and Son. They had a name change to Dollar General since 1955.

Dollar General sells a wide variety of items such as home decor, clothing, cleaning supplies, and many more. This store in Barkhamstead is very similar like the other stores. It is well stocked and for the most part, organized. What I noticed in most DGs, there are always items waiting to be stocked on the end of aisles.

This one was pretty busy on the day we went because it was the Sunday before Christmas; I assume people were doing last minute shopping like we were doing too. They had many seasonal items and prices were affordable, as their name holds a reputation for that. This is also the first DG that I've seen two cashiers working; I think because there was a long line. Overall, a standard DG with discounted items. It's definitely a popular store and I understand why.”

“Job Lot has a large selection of items in all sorts of categories- clothing, food, tools, pet food and more. The employees are helpful. The store in Southwick needs a more modern upgrade to the display of items.”

Much thanks to Mgr Kevin, AM Scott & Everyone at OSJL for their generous 2024 Gift Certificate Donation that enabled us to purchase much needed crates, dog beds, bowls etc for our rescue & huge thanks also for the much needed & appreciated pet food donations!

“This Dollar Tree is located in a plaza next to Ollie's. It's one of the quietest DTs I've been to. The store was well stocked and mostly everything was $1.25; there were some $3 and $5 items as well. The items usually run in a smaller/lower quantity size; dish soap, trash bags, and other various items. You can pretty much find anything you need there. There were some clutter on some of the aisles, unloaded boxes here and there.

I'm a fan of the snacks aisle. They have some unique snacks as well as the common brand names. You can also find refrigerated food items. I think this is a great store to buy gifts at; you can make a nice gift basket using items from the Dollar Tree. I do miss the days when everything was just $1. Overall, a great store if you're trying to save money, especially in this economy.”

“One of the best looking DGs I've been to. The curb appeal was also pretty. When I went on a Sunday, it was pretty quiet. I try to go on Saturdays because you can use their $5 coupon.From what I saw, the shelves were pretty organized and clean. I did notice some employees stocking the shelves; hence the pile of items waiting to be unloaded on the aisles.They had a mix and match, buy one get one 50% off aisle that was disorganized. We bought two items and didn't get the second one 50% off. We read the fine print regarding which items were excluded but since the aisle was disorganized, we weren't sure if it was truly part of the sale. I think they should keep all items that were on this particular sale promotion in one spot so it's easy to find; items not part of the sale should be separated.Overall, it is one of my favorite stores and I'm glad that there is one close to me.”
