Dollar Tree is my go to for things like greeting cards, thank you cards, seasonal decor, crafting supplies and snacks. They have their pretty standard staple items, but they also have some unexpected finds. It is also great for putting together travel kits (grabbing cheap tooth brushes, tooth paste, brushes, soaps, degradants etc). It is also a great place to buy helium balloons. They last forever and are so much cheaper than you can get them anywhere else. They have a standard collection available year round but also stock for special holidays like Mothers Day and graduations. This location always seems to be well stocked, fairly organized, and the staff has always been friendly.

The Staff here at Blicks arts is friendly knowledgeable & insightful. I came across a good chunk of items weather in brand name or items themselves that are not stocked at Michaels or Hobby Lobby.   I've known friends in the past who shopped known places before discovering this art store. Once they shopped here they swore up and down that this is their first stop for painting their personal Picasso or that picture they hang in coffee shops & others places they'd love to sell.    After looking around here with my sis and spending a little time here. I would recommend any artists starting out, noivce or professional to shop here for their project needs.

I don't understand the appeal of a DG, the name is misleading. I would expect that prices would be more reasonably priced. However the prices seem steeper in a DG than elsewhere you could shop. Somehow, even with this going on, they have seemed to have survived. This DG is rather put together and well maintained. I suspect that is due to the fact that this a newer built store, give it a few months before it descends into chaos. The staff was super polite in here which made for an early morning stop better than I expected. I definitely left here with a smile on my face.

To be fair, they do have some food items but not any fresh items outside of the refrigerators (that I am aware of). Also, many of the prices are not listed so you need to get them price checked - which is really not a big deal since the customer service is very friendly. Pros The biggest advantage is some of the prices here. I got my favorite type of shampoo without parabens for $1.57 and these new age crayons for 2$. I also found the people who work here to be very friendly and welcoming and was complemented on my free spirit outfit and adorable purse. Interesting tidbit: When I was in the parking lot as well as in the store one of the employees kept reminding the customers not to shoplift both inside and outside of the store and I found this rather odd. Perhaps that is a big issue at this location? Who would honestly feel the need to shoplift here when everything is so cheap?

Prepare yourself to wake up when you come in here. Like I mean if bright lights are not your thing, steer clear of this spot. It is like walking into the path of a vehicle with their high beams on. But, it also lends itself to the fact that you will definitely be able to find yourself something without even knowing you need that item. We honestly just came in here to scope it out. I ended up walking out with a bag of things I didn't necessarily need. This would be a great place to buy a gift that not all other stores carry. They do carry a lot of licensed items from many different brands. What got me, however, are the snacks. These are snacks that are almost exclusive to the overseas markets. Items that you would have to find a place, mostly located within a city, that specializes in them. This store is bringing those snacks to the masses. What I can tell you, if you come across an item and you fall in love with it, buy more than one. You are not guaranteed to find that again or at another location. Also, it does not hurt to try something new. Might I suggest the cucumber flavored chips? Also, they will charge you for a bag in here. So either bring your reusable bag or sign up for their rewards to get a free bag for your purchase.

It has collaborations with over 100 intellectual properties such as Disney, Sanrio, Barbie, Sesame Street, Minions, Pokémon, Harry Potter, Care Bears, and Snoopy. This particular MINISO is located in Westmoreland Mall. My husband and I shopped here one time. We saw a wide variety of products such as toy cars, face washes, cosmetics, stickers, foreign beverages, and much more. I thought that the prices were moderately high. The employees' service was very good. An employee greeted us when we entered the store. Another employee was tidying up the shelves of products. A third employee was the cashier, and was had ust a short wait for him to ring up our purchase. I bought a small bag of Chinese cucumber-flavored potato chips for a few dollars. I felt interested in them, and they tasted OK.

I am very upper-middle class, and I do not want to spend as much money as some of the products cost here. Maybe one day I will renovate my walk-in closet, and I will order a custom closet system from this store.
