I mostly see these stores here and they call them selves "dollar or more store"

I always scratch my head and think... ok, so you don't charge less then a dollar. That's what that says to me. Wouldn't that make Best Buy a "dollar or more store"?

You can find the best deals are variety stores. Love them.
If each mistake being made is a new one, then progress is being made.

no, thats bullshit, ive seen items less than a dollar at best buy, so best buy is the way to go when i comes to bargain shopping.

Cute. There are also 10 types of people in the world: those that can read binary, and those that can't.

So a neutrino walks into a bar and asks the bartender, "How much for a drink?"

The bartender says, "For you, no charge."
