It's more like a slightly more expensive Walmart, with even lower quality products and fewer staff members to handle operating the store so it's always got empty shelves and/or dirty as shit.

What? Why's it more expensive than Walmart? Do Dollar Generals sell electronics and appliances? Or do Walmarts not do that in the States? Lol

They generally do not sell large appliances or electronics, more like, headphones or coffee makers, maybe. And they would have like 2 options max, maybe 1, because its all goinf to be in an 8 foot section in one aisle.

It's their commitment to having all their prices end in a 0 or a 5. So it's generally a few cents more expensive than Walmart.

And yes, they sell electronics and appliances. I got my food processor at a Dollar General. It's a cuisinart, but it's also small as fuck. But it was $15 so 🤷‍♂️
