While everyone has been fucking us over on inflation (my rent went up $500 in one year), I’ll actually give them this one. Things have been $1 there for literally decades. Raising it to $1.25 really is actually a more reasonable change for that long of a time period to begin with.
And no, it’s not “$1.25 and up”. It’s $1.25 and under. You’re thinking of places like Dollar General where they lied about being a $1 store to begin with and are actually way more expensive than that. Dollar General is not and was notna true dollar store.
Don’t get me wrong. Dollar Tree isn’t exactly a wholesome company. But of all the things happening recently it’s actually a more reasonable change.
Um, excuse me?
They literally went to $1.25 and above. Please STFU.

Please don’t tell me about a store we visit every other day.
Interesting. It seems limited to location per that article. I have not seen items above $1.25 at the Dollar Trees in my region.
Well, our minimum prices are $1.25+tax, and some items are $3, $5, and even $10.
Wow yours sounds like it’s priced like a $5 Below. Are you in California or New York, by chance?
Mississippi
Ah, I’ve figured it out. Using the store locator tool, it looks like many Dollar Tree stores in your state have converted into Dollar Tree Plus. Dollar Tree Plus does not stick to the original Dollar Tree mantra of everything being $1.
Places without “Plus” in the store locator tool are regular Dollar Tree locations where everything is $1.25 or less.
In my region, I cannot seem to find any Dollar Tree Plus locations, thank goodness. Everything is still $1.25 here.
There are no dollar tree plus stores in my area but a lot of them still have the higher priced sections now.
So, can I sue them for not using the ‘Plus’ logo…?
Unfortunately, no. But you can use the store locator to see if there is a non “Plus” location near you. It seems there are supposedly some non Plus locations still in Mississippi, but I have no idea if any of them are a convenient distance from you.
And some items are up to $10
