I will be checking out the new store some day soon just out of pure curiosity. The photos look interesting and I look forward to checking it out. In this area you can't go more than two or three miles in any direction without passing a Dollar General store. I remember when they opened the first location in the Utica area in the old Nichol's plaza in Marcy. They actually had some great bargain prices on things like canned goods and household items. Now, in this area, their prices are higher in many cases than the supermarket and it seems that they are just capitalizing on the convenience factor. I recently went there for a small size tub of Cool Whip. It costs a buck or buck and a quarter in all the local supermarkets. It was over two bucks at DG. I don't shop there often but I DO like having a DG just up the road when the occasion arises when Kathy needs something in a hurry. I have been stopping more often at Dollar General since Dollar Tree became the Buck and a Quarter store. The packaging and amount of product in it has become smaller and many things are no longer a bargain at Dollar Tree.
