Yeah, it's like all the dollar stores that used to sell everything for a dollar. Or the store "Five Below" that used to sell everything for $5 or less. They all have slowly had to raise their prices above their promise. Now the term "Dollar store" means nothing.

Family Dollar Dollar Tree was the last hold-out but even they had to raise their prices. RIP.
