dollar store
Cheap retail outlet
A dollar store is a retail shop selling inexpensive merchandise, originally priced at one dollar or less.
The name persists even as prices have crept higher.
Dollar stores stock household goods, cleaning supplies, snacks, and seasonal items: I picked up some paper plates at the dollar store.
The term sometimes carries connotations of cheapness or low quality.
