Dollar General

Store is fine. Good deals but limited variety.
Love the retro soul radio station. Staff is ok.
Only one star because customer service from CORPORATE is lacking.
Store plays 3card Monty with coupons.
Read the fine print in all coupons.
Corporate. Shape up! No customers=no jobs

I reeeeeaaaallllly wish that many of the employees would just talk to you like a real human. They’re short, and sometimes they ask you weird stuff in an accusatory manner. Like «are you gonna BUY those?»
Anyway. It’s not a dollar store, but stuff is cheap.

This store was a pleasant surprise. It’s in a very unassuming little strip mall between 5^th & 6^th on Spring Garden. You could easily pass by it without a second glance, especially since there is a small parking lot in front. However, walk inside — it’s large and very well-​stocked for an urban discount store.
I always like to stock up on things like paper/​plastic products, tupperware and other non-​perishables like cleaning products at places like this. There was a nice selection with great prices on name brand items. They also had a ton of other stuff from clothes to decorations and food. It’s worth checking out for sure, especially since the only nearby competition is 2 overpriced pharmacies down the street. And the asian market. Actually between that market for cheap produce & this store for dry goods, you can make out ok.

I been shopping here since they open up they have most of stuff I want or looking for pretty good place to get something fast but sometimes the services suck because there not a lot works at the cash registers!

National brands at awesome discounted prices with a huge selection. They have a little bit of everything!
I thought I was going to have to make 5 stops making errands today and I cut them down to two, thanks to DG.
This one is new, so it’s clean, bright with great products.
They have everything from snack items to OTC pharmacy to cleaning supplies to hardware!
For those who like to play Price is Right here is a list of some items I got :
32 count quart sized Hefty freezer bags for $ 3,
lactase pills 32 box for $ 2,
wall anchors set for $ 1.50 and pliers for $ 2;
3 Scotch Brite sponges for $ 1
PLUS they have seasonal item selection which is always awesome. Come here for all your Xmas decoration needs.
I pat myself on the back after every trip.

Wow… How long have I been wasting all my extra cash at other places when stores like these pop up magically on my bike route?
Dollar General has been a long-​time favorite of many people, and now there is a spankin-​brand-​new one spanning a large part of the block on Spring Garden and 5^th Sts.
It’s directly located on the Spring Garden Bike trail and a breeze to get to!
I went in on a Friday morning and it was really quiet in there — but so many things that you would pay top dollar for at other places. Like vitamins, shampoos, tampons, seasonal stuff, Tchotchke… — and especially the food. They had Cheez-it’s 9oz for $ 2 (I just spent $ 4 at the neighborhood store). I like that it’s not such a trek from my house like the big stores on Columbus Blvd (not as big, of course) but the prices match. I like that it’s new and clean, and there is everything you need in stock. It’s really convenient and cheap.
Also, they sell great tortillas!
And on their website they offer their own Dollar General coupons for even more savings.
I spent a good hour in there comparing prices — I think they really compete in a big way with the big pharmacies in town, so I will definitely be going there now because of it’s convenient location right on the bike trail, and it’s clean, quiet and well-​stocked (for now!)
