Dollar Tree Is Not the Same Anymore

Yeah it is......
I was overly conflating the two a little bit.

Like now. I have a taste for a hamburger, but I need a tomato, so now I have to get in my car drive to a supermarket to buy a single tomato - a waste of time and gas.  So, I'll skip the tomato tonight -- the burger will still be great

 

In NYC I would just run downstairs and get one for the corner store (bodega).  Now, assuming that had any, it would be double the price the supermarket charged and in questionable condition, but it would have saved me a trip to the supermarket and I'd probably have my burger a tomato tonight if I were in NYC.

They charge you more to make you pay for the CONVENIENCE of having what you want on hand, when you want it....lol.

Man, I h8te when I've got a taste for something to cook and it's not on hand already. 

 

Thankfully,  the grocery store is 5 minutes away from my house.
