A photo of a Dollar Tree store, with the meme caption “A Buck And A Fuck”

Meme explanation: Dollar Tree products are no longer a dollar, they’re a minimum of $1.25, and up.

      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?

              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.

                  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.

                    Huh, interesting. I might have to check the locator app out sooner or later, but we only got one Dollar Tree in town so it would really only count when we happen to be out of town.
