On Sale. Or Not.
99¢ Dreams has long been my favorite 99-cent store. It is the kind of realist thinking that allows people to feel good about themselves. Why reach for the stars when you can reach for an offbrand 59-watt light bulb?
But there is no such thing as a free lunch, even in 99¢ Dreamland.

My personal favorite—never having been in, sadly—is in East Williamsburg: CRAZY LOCO CRAZY 99¢!

Funny, all of the "dollar stores" I saw in New Zealand came with provisos. "EVERYTHING TWO DOLLARS!! or more" doesn't have quite the same ring to it, but I'm glad (?) to see it's not just a Kiwi phenomenon.
