Dollar General

Budget retail store

Dollar General is a chain of American discount retail stores, typically located in rural and low-income areas, selling household goods, packaged foods, and basic necessities at low prices.

The stores are smaller than traditional retailers and often serve communities without nearby supermarkets or big-box stores: There's a Dollar General on every corner in this county.

Despite the name, most items cost more than a dollar.
