Dollar Stores in Brunswick, OH

“Just 4 years ago everything you found would cost a dollar, that would be the price. Now it's more of a five below situation. There's a whole aisle filled with $5 items. And scattered across the store are things that cost more than $1. Matter of fact, not a single item costs one dollar even without task. Every item is $1.25, which I get, inflation and stuff, but still. It's like telling a homeless man you'll give him $4, and he tells you to raise it to $5. I use to go there with $10, intending to buy 10 tax free items (I go there for the snacks) and just that I would do. I'd go home gleeful I got 10 yummy snacks for $10, a fair trade. Now I go with $10 and I leave with snacks. Still cheaper than any other store. Me and my friend always get snacks from there when we hang out. That's the whole review, now I'm going to tell you the order all the changes happened from what I remember. And what I hope they add. You don't need to keep reading, this part truly is useless.

At the beginning of Covid-19, we noticed the ground getting filled with the six feet apart stickers. But along with those stickers, the price things were being changed for $1.25. Not to long later, maybe a year and a half, they added a gift card stand. The range for cards you could buy was a low as $5 up to $100. Which was sweet because I like gift cards. And it didn't take items off the shelf or make them cost more, it was just a small stand added at the end of an aisle. They also added a battery stand but I don't know when. Anyhow, what I recall was a redecoration of the story. The aisles were being changed. They use to have a walkway going through all the aisles, but they changed the aisles to just be one long thing. Not to long after this a five dollar aisle was added. You could buy a lot of stuff here, even clothes if I recall correctly. Now, for a while nothing else really changed. Until recently when if you look around, you can find sections in aisles that have items at a higher price. Now in the candy aisle you can find big bags of candy. Most are about $2.50. Which honestly, it's way better than the prices at CVS. Nothing has changed from this. What I want is freezers in the back, I mean. If the dollar tree is going to become all fancy and expensive than they better add freezers in the back. They may, but I probably won't edit this post at all if they do.”

“Great place for school supplies and Bounty paper towels. I needed three big packages of Bounty and my cashier went to get the third one from the top shelf. Thanks for your great prices and assistance!”

“I have to say my mood was not the greatest when I first walked into the store. I was trying to quickly shop since I was already behind schedule. This location was very easy to navigate through. Aisles clear things pushed forward. After finishing my shopping I waited in line. The guy behind the register changed my entire mood. The way he spoke with the gentleman in front of me, was like they were old friends. The gentleman mentioned his wife and her sister go in there all the time, Tony responded with their nickname and asked how she was doing after surgery. My mouth dropped how amazing of this man to connect with his customers in such a way that it changed my mood before even speaking to him. Of course my interaction with him was phenomenal. People like him are amazing and I am so happy I made a wrong turn and ended up at this dollar general. Thank you Tony. You changed my mood.”
