“2-17-2023 Manager and staff are friendly and helpful. They try to keep things well organized. Prices are very reasonable for the vast majority of items, and it's THE place to buy nails even in large quantities. They have light fixtures, plumbing items, paint, sealants, small hardware items, cabinetry, doors, bed heads, bedframes, sofas, bookshelves, filing cabinets, desks, craft items, clothing, shoes, backpacks, carry bags, purses, cooking items, coffee makers, racks, sheets, curtains, vacuums, dishware, glasses & mugs, organizing shelves, tools, tiles, garden pots and other gardening items, camping stuff, books, art, exercise equipment, collectibles, sometimes sheetrock, tripods for cameras, a music stand, a mic boom, a mic... So much is donated some days that stuff is outside by the door as well in as many as 15 boxes you can pick through. Sometimes interesting things turn up (like an entire bin of leather I found one day, and some interesting rocks). They get a lot of furniture. (I do wish they had more sheds to house it; for lack of enough large sheds, much of it gets rained or snowed upon. If furniture has just been dropped off or if we're having a dry spell, you can sometimes find decent furniture there.) I wish someone would donate enough warehousing for the furniture, but other than that it's a fun place to poke around with very good prices. If you drop by routinely, you can get some great deals there even on furniture. I'm not deducting a star because much of the furniture gets rained on, as it's not their fault they don't have enough warehousing.”
“The Family Dollar Store in Taos is a nice, moderate sized general store type of business, where customers can buy everything from food, milk, dishware, pots and pans, pens and notebook paper, to towels, toys, clothing and shoes for children, men and women and personal care products.They also have small stereos, music CDs, cell phones and battery chargers, pet food, bedding such as sheets, pillows and blankets and brooms, mops, cleaning supplies, air fresheners, birthday cards, picture frames, paper towels and toilet paper and much more.The prices are moderate so it's not truly a "dollar store" but you'll find quality items at a fraction of what they cost at other bigger stores.This store has friendly employees and decent hours and are open for 7 days a week. The Taos store is also conveniently located.”

Burlington Stores is giving its locations a major makeover. The off-price retailer has already transformed about half of its 1,115 stores and plans to complete the redesign across its entire fleet by the end of 2026. The company calls this makeover "Store Experience 2.0." Gone are the cramped aisles and confusing layouts that once defined discount shopping. Instead, Burlington is creating wider walkways, organized sections, and clearer signs to help shoppers find what they need.
Dollar General is adding more of its private label food offerings to stores, following similar moves by big retailers like Walmart and Amazon as store brands keep growing in popularity. The store is launching new items under its own labels, including ice cream, cinnamon rolls, coffee syrups, and salad dressings. The move comes as store brand sales reached $271 billion in 2024, up nearly 4% from 2023.
Daiso, the beloved Japanese retailer known for its variety of affordable household goods, is expanding further in the U.S. market. This week, the company is celebrating the grand openings of three new stores in Texas and California.

Dollar Tree is moving into 170 former 99 Cents Only stores, marking a big shift in the discount retail landscape. The company announced Wednesday it's taking over leases in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Texas, with plans to reopen the stores under its own brand as early as fall 2024.
Ollie's Bargain Outlet just landed a great deal of its own, winning a $14.6 million bankruptcy auction for 11 former 99 Cents Only store locations across Texas. The discount retail chain pounced after 99 Cents Only abruptly went out of business in March, shuttering all 371 of its stores in California, Arizona, Texas, and Nevada. Ollie's quickly made an opening "stalking horse bid" to grab over a dozen of the empty properties.
