Reply to comment by strolpol in Dollar stores were the fastest-growing food retailers by household expenditure share between 2008 to 2020 according to Tufts University. While they still represent a small fraction of national household food purchases, they play an increasingly prominent role for disadvantaged and rural communities. by shiruken
They carry things that walmart doesnt. That's prettymuch the only reason I go there.
One thing I hate about walmart is that they often change what they carry. Used to be I could get otis spunkmeyer muffins at walmart then they suddenly stopped carrying it. Now I can only get them at one grocery store out of the three ones (not including the two different dollar stores here) in my town. Walmart stopped carrying multiple kinds of jumex juice and only carry one variety and only in cans. I can go to dollar tree (or is it dollar general) and get the jumex juice I want but in the larger cartons.
Walmart really pisses me off with their limited grocery options. You can't rely on them to keep things in stock in the long term. Other grocery stores you generally can.

That's because Walmart is squeezing the suppliers for a lower unit cost. Don't want to play ball, lose half your market.
