My husband, Scott: The Dollar Store by us is going out of business.
Me: Oh yeah?
Scott: They had the funniest sign about it. We should drive by it so you could take a picture for your blog.
Me: Really? What did it say?
Scott: It said, “The Dollar Store. Going Out Of Business. Everything 50% off.”
Me: Wait, what’s funny?
Scott: It’s the Dollar Store and things are 2 for a dollar.
Me: But it’s a going out-of-business sale. All stores reduce prices when they’re closing.
Scott: It’s a little funny.
Me: It’d be funny if the sign said, “The Dollar Store. Going Out Of Business. Everything $1.”
Scott: Oh yeah, that would be a lot funnier.
Heh.

Yes, your version is much funnier.
Well, I’m on the edge of my seat – did you buy tons of junk for 50 cents??
I love that you included graphics with this post. Thanks for the giggle this morning. I hope you stock up on all sorts of half priced goodies
Haha. Don’t leave us hanging, I want to know what weird/awesome stuff you ended up with if you went!
One of my favorite things I’ve ever seen in a dollar store was a pregnancy test… in the checkout line with the gum and other convenience items. Because sometimes when you’re stocking up on cheap party favors and off-brand toiletries, you forget the $1 pregnancy test you really wanted.
Yeah. I’d say your sign is much funnier. Sorry, Scott.
LOL!
I am always highly amused by the “clearance” aisle at the dollar store here. Because that’s where the *really good* stuff ends up.
and my experience with dollar stores is that they rarely do 2/$1. Even on stuff they should.
Why are people saying the economy is on the up? If a Dollar Store is going out of business, things must be getting worse!
I think you should offer to change it for them. I would go in to that store just because the sign were funny… also, I kinda love dollar stores.
