Dollar Tree is ending its short-lived and ill-fated Family Dollar experiment, offloading the discount brand for $1 billion – just a fraction of its purchase price from a decade ago.

Honestly, I think there’s a market for stuff that’s cheap enough that you feel comfortable throwing it out after using a couple of times. Seasonal items especially. Not good for the environment or overall public policy but the market exists nonetheless.
My wife goes there for party supplies that get thrown out after the party, or maybe they survive for a 2nd use.
Also gift bags and blank greeting cards. Sure the designs aren’t as hip, but sometimes you don’t want to pay half the price of your gift just for the wrapper.
