All in good humor. But the reality is...rural folks that have a 80 or 100 mile round trip to a store these little stores are great. In our area we were down to one small market, Ray's Food, with gouge pricing and they were actually stocking shelves and reefers with stuff that was on or past sell-by date. Too bad DG aren't set up to sell a few veggies and frozen meat. Their Clover Valley house brands are pretty good quality.
Some DG stores already do and more are adding them in certain areas. Things like assorted kinds of frozen vegetables and fresh basic veggies like potatoes. carrots, lettuce, cabbage, bell peppers, mushrooms, celery, etc., and fresh fruit like bananas, apples, oranges, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, tangerines, etc., and also packaged frozen and refrigerated meats -- chicken strips, ground beef, fish and seafood, steak portions, bacon, lunch meats, hotdogs, etc. Dairy products like milk, cheese, butter, eggs, ice cream, etc. The bigger Dollar General Market Stores stock fresh meats along with a wide variety of fresh and frozen veggies, fruits and meats.
Around this area pretty much all the little mom and pop grocery / general stores had already either shut down or on their last leg thanks to Walmart well before DG stores started moving in.
