My brother and I went to the Dollar General Store today in search of some packaging supplies and…read morepossibly a diet cola pop. Upon entering "DG" (that's what we call it), we were immediately impressed by the automatic sliding doors and prominent display of diet cola pops hanging near the entrance - nice! Strolling towards the packaging supplies aisle, we spied a "reacher grabber:" a wonderful device you can use to grasp items you would otherwise be unable to reach. My brother's pupils widened with joy and I knew it was coming home with us. After a quick lap around the store (we were pleased to find a wide selection of delicious-smelling candles - we're something of connauseurs on this matter, as my brother's girlfriend, who I'll call "Marlando," has recently begun devoting the better part of her day to candle-making... her technique involves taking old wax chips from used candles, laboriously fingering them into baby food jars, then gently pushing a Q-tip through the center) we made our way to the check-out line. Observing our "impulse buy" of a large plastic medieval-style sword, the clerk advised us that a second sword would be 75% off. My brother high-fived himself and sprinted to retrieve said second sword. "Now you'll be able to battle each other," our clerk helpfully offered. Thus, the 4 stars are for exemplary service. Please allow me to explain why I had no choice but to withhold the final star. When we got home, Marlando excitedly snatched up the reacher-grabber. In her haste, she fell down and broke some commemorative plates my recently-deceased grandmother had given to me, but I couldn't stay angry. You see, Marlando had a half-full case of Natural Light and there was a "Chopped" marathon on Food Network. From her perch on the couch in my mom's basement, the desirable, room-temperature Natties sat juuust out of reach on the floor. Marlando gave the reacher grabber a few test squeezes, and settled in for the night. "I wish Ted Allan was my dad," she happily mused to herself, aiming the reacher grabber towards that silvery cardboard treasure box. She successfully got the tongs of the reacher grabber around the girth of that first Natty, and squeezed, eagerly anticipating the warm, familiar froth with a giddy, childlike gasp. Then, it happened. The can slipped from the reacher grabber with a heartbreaking thunk. My entire family turned and stared at the useless reacher grabber hanging limply in Marlando's hand. That was when we knew : the Dollar General Store reacher grabber was a big, big mistake that cannot be undone.

This is the best Dollar Tree to go to in the city. It is located next to Big Lots and Gabriel…read moreBrothers, off of Beechmont Ave. They just expanded their space, so the store is HUGE. The Dollar tree on Ridge is closer to me, but they seem to always be out of something I am looking for (once they were out of paper towels, wtf!). The Beechmont store however is so big, it is guaranteed you will find what you are looking for in mass quantity. The store gets heavy traffic, but it is never crowded and lines are not long. My gripe with the Ridge location is they will only have one counter open for checkout and a line going all the way down an aisle. This location, you can be sure to get in and out. I like Dollar Tree because I love candles. I am one of those people who buy candles and never burn them lol. But with Dollar Tree, since everything is only $1, I can burn yummy candles all I want, and save the good stuff (L'Occitane verbena or Diptyque baies) for special occasions (ie. never lol).

This one has a much larger selection with some pretty quality stuff. This location also has a freezer/refrigerated section which carries things cheese, turkey bacon, frozen fruit, breakfast items.

In my cheapness/craftiness/boredness Ive frequented many a Dollar Tree and I have to say, this is…read morethe best one that I have ever found. The store its self is fairly large, almost looks new. The isles were wide and let me tell you, very clean. Most times I visit other store you have things falling off shelves, things crammed in weird places, but this place was super well kept and organized. Along with being a larger store, they had the best selection and products that Ive encountered. The staff was really nice and helpful, hell I even called the survey on the back of the receipt I was so impressed. Definitely worth stopping in.

Some of my recent fun finds include crochet kits, a planner/organizer that helps with decluttering, and some of my favorite and somewhat expensive chocolates. If you pair the already deeply discounted offerings with saving earned through the rewards program (Ollie's Army), you cannot go wrong! We returned within a few days to gather grass seed, bird seeds and an expandable hose. We always receive great service whether we're strolling in 5 minutes before closing (it happened recently) or in the middle of the day.

This is Northside's Family Dollar store. It is conveniently located on Colerain Avenue by the I-75…read more& I-74 expressway ramps for downtown Northside. This store has been here for a long time. There is a clean parking lot with handicapped parking at the door. This store is like a small community Walmart. At the front of the store are several aisles with a nice variety of canned, prepared and snack food. The cooler and freezer doors are along the front wall. Here you will find your basic dairy, meal and frozen food and dessert items. In the back of the store is a well stocked cleaning, laundry and household fragrance area. There are also very nice household, greeting cards, infant, automotive and party supply areas. For children there is a toy aisle. Prices at Family Dollar are usually​ reasonable. I went there several nights ago for batteries. They sell a lot of batteries and the price of the store brand is very good. The employees are friendly and helpful. There is currently no grocery store in Northside so this store gets a lot of business.

As is to be expected at this time of year, the front area was dedicated to a selection of gift kits and stocking stuffers, and it is a good place to explore for kid options as they had a number of items from popular characters and franchises available. The staff at the check out lane was very friendly and helpful. She was overseeing all of the self checks but was doing a great job checking in with each person about their visit and if they needed any assistance. This location is inside of a shopping center, and there is plentiful parking in the shopping center lot.

It used to be that going to Five Below was a special kind of thing..seeing that the closest location for the longest time was the whole way out in Dayton..or Columbus. Nowadays they are just popping up everywhere..which is understandable because they carry good products at really cheap prices. You can almost look at it as an upscale dollar store..a five dollar store..because most everything they sell is five dollars or below (hence the store name). They're great for picking up cheap phone wires and chargers..cheap HDMI cables..even cheap goofy T-Shirts to wear around the house. This location is set up kind of differently than other locations I've been to. Most Five Belows have the same general set-up..this one if just a bit different..things are in different areas of the store..and the basic design of the store is slightly different. Regardless it's a nice store, very clean and organized, and tho differently placed it still makes sense where things are. They also have a big selection of childrens stuff..toys, games, kits, etc. And they're all cheap as well. If you're in the market for any of the things I've listed, and you're looking to not spend that much on them, I highly recommend checking out Five Below.
