Discount Stores near Barkhamsted, CT

“First time going to this Ollie's, and they had SO. MANY. GREAT. DEALS!
Unfortunately, it's about an hour and 15 minute drive from my house to get there, so it's not somewhere I can go often.
I wish there was an Ollie's closer to me”

“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.”

“This store was so organized and everything was neat on the shelves. My husband and I noticed a very diligent worker who was working her magic. It was Sat at 6-630pm on 12/13/25. She was helpful, accommodating and very pleasant! In this busy season of chaos, she kept that store organized! Very good experience and prices are still trying to stay low. Thank you.”

“We purchased 25 bags of pelletized lime this AM and called ahead to notify them of our plan. When we arrived 2 male staff employees had loaded 25 bags of lime onto a cart and upon our arrival, they loaded the bags into our 2 cars. We greatly appreciate the first responders discount given to my volunteer firefighter husband. Great place to shop !!!!!!”

“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.”

“This is definitely one of the nicest and cleanest dollar generals I've been to. Nothing blocking the aisles, good variety. I was out this way because of a job I have and will be using this dollar general from now on!”
