You are too down-to-earth to be a Target shopper, and I am so glad :)

The Dollar General situation is fascinating. I find it amusing that every middle-of-nowhere hole in the wall town has one. It might not have anything else, but it has a Dollar General. And apparently they do excellent that way. I don't shop there often, but like you said - occasionally you have to run in somewhere quick. All these big chains offer low quality stuff (says a food snob), but I do respect Dollar General swooping in there and stepping on those bigbox toes.
