I worked (briefly) at a dollar store in the 90’s …also, years before that, sold at a flea market, where one of my long tables had a sign that said everything on it was a dollar….
Believe me, people, all sorts of people, ask that question…. a l l … d a y … l o n g.
When it was my own stuff, rather than me representing a company….
I liked to answer “$2.50”
Inevitably, the questioner would say “Then why does the sign say $1?”To which I would answer “Beats me.”
In BC with taxes it would be $1.12. In the Maritimes, $1.15. Alberta doesn’t have provincial tax, so it would only be $1.05..Don’t know about the rest – just those.

Most dollar stores I know now charge up to $3.00 for stuff. Still a good deal on a lot of stuff, though

we have a family dollar store here. i don’t think you can even get a candy bar for a dollar in there.

Same here in Sumter County, FL… They should change the sign to “Ten Dollar Store.”

They should call it the Easily Breakable Crap Store.

Yep, Dollar Tree maxes out at $1 but Dollar General and Family Dollar go much higher for some itemc

It is a fact that not all dollar stores are truly only charging a dollar or less.
