DOLLAR STORES PLANNING FOR PERMANENT AMERICAN UNDERCLASS, SELL MORE GROCERIES THAN WHOLE FOODS

I have been growing vegetables for years out here in the sticks. I have some fruit trees and process my own olives for oil. We have chickens for eggs.

There are some things I need to buy at a store, and the only store here burned down about 25 years ago. Having something like a Dollar General in this little community (pop. 350) would be very convenient.

Because there are no city water or sewer services out here, I think any new commercial establishments are unlikely. That's too bad, because they would make a killing from the local population and surrounding areas.

Dollar stores are merely outlets for Chinese GMO food products. I will not step foot in one.

aldi price shops their competitors close by and raises their prices to be just under them.the big names have lowered their prices to compete with aldi!

The calendars and holiday cards for $1.00 are a good value but highly doubt selling cheap nutritious food will sustain the chain. The places are nasty with dirty floors and always appear ransacked. Go early to avoid the zombies.

the life of a retiree on a fixed income...

must have micro wave...

fridge...

and Senior discount on electricity/gas...

it is what it is...

and I thank God every day for all my provisions...



yep and Amen.

Micro greens are good nutrition and maybe a little safer than sprouts. Sprouts are safe—I’ve never had a problem but they can spoil or go off.

Micro greens are just regular seeds for things like spinach or broccoli planted densely in a pot. Sprouts in growing medium developed a little more.

The “zombies” are human beings poisoned by processed and packaged foods. They are as human as you.

We are being depopulated.

The Denver airport murals told it all.

It’s not environmentally necessary but it’s happening anyway.

The zombies are human beings. Some are poisoned by food, others are psychiatrically “managed”. It’s normal to have contempt for the poor. I’m sure if I met you in a store I’d think I was superior to you. It’s a fiction that we are all equal. but it is our tradition.

You don’t poison or chemically disable someone then call them zombies.

DG is like the corner grocery of days gone bye. They're always close by with many of the bare essentials. Milk, chips, candy, coffee, deodorant, etc.
In my last house, it was 3 miles to DG, or 10 miles to the grocery store. 13 miles to a mini-walmart. Now I'm about 1 mile from a DG and 4 miles to a walmart supercenter. Kroger is another 3 miles past WM. SO. If I can get it at DG, I stop there, otherwise it's on to the supercenter.

Senior discount on elec/gas

I've gotten very good meat at Aldi. Got the best beef brisket from there.

Some things are worth getting at the dollar stores, like candy, and paper, pens and stuff. But not food.

Here in the UK,The only thing i dont like from Aldi is the Bread, and Cornflakes.Everything else is okay.

I find their meat is the best of all Supermarkets.I think because they have a turn over it is always fresh.

Worst meat is Tesco.Their Chicken actually makes me physically gag.Rubbery and gloupy,really is disgusting.

You are wrong about this. I've shopped Dollar Tree for years, buying only US or Canadian products, avoiding Chinese, Thai or other Asian food products. If you would go into Dollar Tree and just check out their canned goods, crackers and cookies, you would find many familiar brands. And NOT out of date.

For some reason there are a lot more shills on this familiar thread this time around. Be warned.

Your pride is so human and you can feel anyway you want. It's not really any of my business what you feel.

Wrong.
Most of the canned goods in our Dollar Tree are not from China.

There is canned fruit from Thailand, Mexico, and sometimes China. Sometimes US.

Why do you think that is?

If you are not already looking at where your food is coming from, you have no room to talk, because your name brand fruit is probably NOT coming from the USA. This has come about because of the trade treaties of the Clinton and Obama years.

Hopefully Trump's renegotiating the treaties will remedy this.

BTW, you will find Chinese people shopping in Chinatown, that's why. They do not like American food.

You should not refer to other human beings as zombies.

Just because it says on the can that the food was processed and canned in another country other than China, does not mean that the food was not imported from there. The truth is, you don't know where your food is coming from when you buy it cheap.

One thing you do know is that when you buy food at the $ store, there's a good reason that it's so cheap.

it's a no-brainer really.

One of the Dollar Tree stores here does sell bread. Also eggs, milk, yogurt, cheese, packaged meat and frozen meals - the same brands that you see at the local supermarket.

The other Dollar Tree here does not sell cooler/freezer food.

For those who aren't familiar with it yet, Kroger's organic line is called Simple Truth and Vitacost.com has been carrying it for the last couple of years - I've been buying it there. It's the most affordable brand there and their products are good.

Mr. Natural, why are you so convinced that anybody who tries to offer you an affordable price is out to kill you? I see this attitude a lot here and frankly, I think it's a cover for something else less attractive than paranoia: snobbery. GLP now looks down on affordably-priced goods and (especially) on those who buy them. That probably includes a lot of your grandparents, who had to put their own lives on hold in order to raise you when your parents (if you have 2 legal parents) proved unfit for the job.

What is 'off brand?' Somebody besides the big conglomerates that we all know are trying to kill us? The ones that lobbied government to force us to keep selling aspartame when everybody who can read knows it's poison? Also the ones who lobbied government to stop labelling requirements for GMOs so they could trick us into ruining our genetic futures?

What does it take to make GLPers happy? I've never seen anything but collective sneering when anybody mentions the least effort being made to accommodate less buying power and keep the most vulnerable and neglected in our society fed. Since GLP, in the main, thinks 'the poor' should only be allowed to eat mac and cheese in a box, why would any of you care if it's GMO or not?

That's going to cause health problems.

I go to them for exactly that sort of reason amongst others.. its not just Whole Foods castoffs...

Ours here in Denver Metro does too.. except some are dropping the bread locally.

Everybody knows that Soros is the devil but why are we sticking Bezos next to him?! Americans, just like a lot of commies, always want to pick on the rich and successful. They did the same thing to Bill Gates. It's plain old jealousy. It must feel a little schizophrenic to defend Trump from his persecutors then, for he is certainly both himself.

Amazon offers Prime membership at a reduced rate to low-income people so they can buy groceries online, and get them delivered to their homes, even in those neglected rural areas. The only time I saw that nice concession mentioned here, it was being criticized for allowing the poor to watch free videos cheaper than the wealthier could. Bezos came up with a business model that works for people in all walks of life, one nobody else either thought of or cared enough to try, so of course he can't be forgiven for that.

GLP wants the poor, the largest segment of whom are elderly, to have to sit in the dark, eating Kraft mac and cheese, in silence, and then die in the streets. Anybody who tries to help them in any way is the enemy on this forum.

i guess you don't have a grocery outlet near you either. that place saves my life when i visit cali.

My favorite thing there is frozen blueberries. 10oz for a dollar.

It's where America eats....lol

You must live near me .This winter is already been hell!
