    Sorry, I have been in retail business for 44 yrs. The big problem is we have too many CEO’s and higher management making the big bucks. We need more workers in the dollar tree stores. In my dollar tree we sometimes have 2 workers. That’s not enough when 1 needs to help customers and 1 needs to restock, clean, help customers on the floor merchandise. To many chiefs and you know the rest. Love your content ❤

I was told that I have a tumor on my left temperal lobe, they didn't tell me the size, they just said that they caught it early enough that they are going to try medication first which is some kind of steroid that starts now (I have the medication) and have an appointment with a Neurosurgeon in June. We are praying and believing that when I go in June, the tumor won't be there. Thank you in advance. God Bless.

    I wish I shared your optimism, but I think they're trending towards only the really trash items remaining $1.25 (often cheaper at Walmart and elsewhere). The fact that the CEO came from Dollar General is not a good sign, because those stores are mostly a complete waste of time. The more they normalize higher prices, the less value there will be for consumers, because they are no longer pressured to meet lower prices.

It really pays to be able to shop elsewhere and have access to other stores.....where I live its 30 miles away for most of those options....Target, Walmart, etc. are all 30+ miles away...so if you need something you wait until you have a large list to make it worth the drive in time and gas to go get the stuff, otherwise you just suck it up and pay an extra dollar or whatever to get it in town LOL.

Most of the items that I see shown from different creators are not available at any of my stores. 4. A cashier at 1 of the stores told me that sizes or quantity is already changing. For example, if you previously got something that contained 32 ounces, it will now only be available in 15 ounce packaging…..so be aware of this…you’ll be getting less for the same $1.25 or possibly more expensive!

      I’m guessing you live in a larger city. I’m sure most complaints of bad stores come from Urban Areas in big cities. If you go to a nice & more expensive suburb or smaller towns where most people are middle class the stores are nicer. Less traffic eases all the problems plus maintains staff if probably not as hard

      A few years ago I was looking for a mat for under my flat iron, and bought the silicone trivets from the kitchen section to use, because I couldn't find an actual mat for hair styling tools. Ir the ones I did find were overpriced. And since they're basically the same product, just maybe a slightly different shape, I chose to pay less for the same overall product.

    I've read that the CEO wants higher-priced items mingled together with lower-priced items on the shelves. DT stores are short-staffed now as it is. So, if all items aren't going to be clearly marked price-wise, it will get interesting at checkout. At least now, the $3/$5 items are kept together in one separate section.

    “You are enough” and the story behind it made me a subscriber so long ago. Tysm for sharing your positivity and your wonderful spirit. I love your videos and I love to watch even if I don’t intend to run to DT to look for items. Because I fight consumer habits in my own life, and because I battle autoimmunity, I don’t get out like I used to. I still enjoy DT party section and seasonal items. My DT stores are as kept as any other store in my area, or better. I have to go to several stores, sometimes more than once, if I am in search of specific items , particularly if they are in high demand. I think this is pretty normal.

    I mostly stick to the 1.25 items & love all the new ones, particularly in the crafting section, and the increase in the quality of the merchandise at that lower price point. I did get something from Plus recently, a name-brand Peeps stuffed toy - almost 2 feet tall, and tie-dyed in pretty Easter pastels. I love it, it’s excellent quality, and so much less expensive than Easter plush in other stores ($5). To me, it was a good deal. But to me, the thrill of DT is finding cool, useful things at the regular price point, so I’ll continue to mostly buy those.

    I talked to the lady at the DT near me, and she said that DT was expanding to a Dollar Tree Plus, which makes me super excited. When I watch your videos and you're showing really cool items at your store, we never have that stuff here. But that's because you're in a DT plus. I'm mostly excited about the new craft section that'll be put in soon. I can't wait!😃

    I live about 15 miles from Dollar Tree's headquarters and main distribution center/warehouse here in Virginia. You would think that the DollarTree stores in my area would have the best stocked stores in the country. Nope. Week after week, season after season, video after video, I live in envy of Kathryn's DollarTree stores. Same goes for most of the other DollarTree haul and DT crafting channels on CZcams. As I watch them, I make a wish list of things to look out for when I shop but am usually not able to find half of what they have in their videos because my local DTs aren't nearly as well stocked. Sigh. Oh, well. I do still wish they hadn't bumped the price of their everyday items from a dollar. I find myself shopping there less as a result.

  • @perfectlyimperfectpressons
    @perfectlyimperfectpressons Před 2 měsíci +6

    From my understanding, they aren't so much raising prices as they are trying to compete with larger stores. A lot of people are only able to shop at DT, so they are basically trying to make their stores more convenient for people. DT is owned by Family Dollar, so it seems like they are trying to offer some of the same options as Family Dollar stores do. I might be interpreting it wrong, but that's my understanding. They are also reducing prices back down to $1 on hundred of items. The article didn't specify which items though. It just said that hundreds of items (I think it said around 300 items) would be reduced. I mean, it doesn't really matter to me because DT is still one of my favorite stores to shop at. Especially for craft/DIY items, snack foods and office (or in my case nail room) supplies.

    I agree the $1.25 has lead to so much better products and Dollar General has been filling the gap with their dollar section on cleaners baggies etc. I think the fun part is you don't have to limit yourself like we can all go buy a few items at a $1.25 and get stuff that just makes you happy or you want to try without worrying over the cost, putting it back, etc. it's just so freeing when you have to weigh all your other purchasing decisions. Like I can freely but 4 items and know I'm under $5.50 with tax
