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 always have a great experience at this location. The store is clean, we'll lit and the staff always has a smile on their face. Great products can be found here at a great price.”

“I visited this location as it is close to a friend’s house. I found the store to be clean, well stocked and organized. I was there the day after July 4th before noon so they were out of ice but Anthony was nice enough to give me a couple of places that would most likely have stock. I found outdoor patio cushions, just the amount I needed as well as a clothes steamer.
I expect I’ll be visiting often and warn only of the hidden driveway that sneaks up on you. There should probably be a light there…”

“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.”
