Dollar Stores in Vancouver, WA

“It's alright, not that big and not a great selection of items. Vancouver plaza location oddly has a better selection of stuff and yet they're the same size as each other. This might even be bigger. The craft section is pathetic here. The layout is really bad if you're used to how a dollar tree is supposed to look.”

“Very central location with lots of parking. Great hours. Amazon lockers available. Ice, balloons, candy, seasonal stuff, and all the things you could need or want for $1.25.... but they are making more of the items $3 and $5 so just be careful when buying a not all prices are even $1.25 anymore. I was surprised to see energy drinks and cream cheese there! I was also surprised by the amount of frozen food options.”

“It seems to me that all of the dollar stores fall into a kind of hierarchy. There are some really horrible ones that are under stocked and understaffed, depressing in their desolation.

Then of course there are the average, the vast majority of stores reside in this relatively uninteresting region. They exist in a kind of limbo where they are not fun or interesting, but might just possibly have something you need.

This particular dollar tree though was kind of surprising. The aisles were well stocked and the store seemed fairly well organized and maintained. In fact, I suspect it is one of the best dollar stores I have ever stumbled into. The cleaning supplies at $1.25 are pretty amazing and the food section seems packed.

Don’t look down your nose at inexpensive choices. This is where I get my bleach at a fraction of the price at a regular store, and this is where I get candy. Scrub brushes, a ladle, or some plastic tubs. Cheap poster board and Yard sale signs, you know, all the stuffs.

Just the other day I was at the dollar store in Delta Park and I’ve got to tell you, it was depressing. I felt sorry for the employees who have to work there. But this place, is another matter. It felt a little like a cornucopia of things you might possibly need.

Now I have to say, that I can afford to go elsewhere. I do fairly well for myself, but I love a bargain. It’s something deep in my blood passed down I suppose from my mother who loved a good discount. It’s why I go to Yard Sales, it’s why I compare prices, there is a certain satisfaction of finding something at half the price. Like a dragon crouching over its hoard, I want to rub my hands together and growl contentedly.

Anyway, if you’re out that way drop by. I think you’ll be surprised.”

“This is far the biggest dollar tree I ever seen! Very well stock and clean the only down side is that there are a lot of homeless around outside and inside so it's a bit creepy for me to go around these area.”
