Candy!

Chips and candy for the {dollar} win!

Our dollar store has a pretty fabulous produce section, as weird as that is, but some things are not a good deal and other things are you just have to watch it, also you sort of have to go shortly after they get shipments otherwise it is super picked over.

ETA: obviously most people know they have good produce which is why people go on the day they get the shipment!

Yep!

I haven't bought food at the dollar store but I have sold food to the dollar store. I would have no problem buying it. It usually ends up there one of a few ways:

Product overage (end of shelf life, or too much of the wrong thing was produced). Grocery stores typically require six months shelf life. If you have a lot of product with 5 months left you can only sell to dollar stores.

Designed for $ store market - cheaper packaging, slightly lower grade product. Rougher cut fruit in canned or frozen fruit for example.

Test item that did not do well - sometimes you see random flavors at the dollar store that you'll never find in grocery. These are products from scale-up runs.

Didn't meet product standards for some small reason - incorrect date codes, sloppy labels, old labels. Typically these are cosmetic reasons that don't have anything to do with the product itself.

Their frozen soft pretzels are pretty good. Other than that, I stick to the candy.
