Not an actual "dollar" or even a "$5 or less" store, just a "discount" shop. Pretty large and diverse selection of goods, though some of it is cheap trash, like the bulk Chinese "jewelry" and generic plastic toys. They have some higher priced goods like pushcarts and I believe fans, but these are items you could get elsewhere for a similar price and not have to deal with the hassle that surely will come up with their "no refunds" policy. Keep in mind that "Defective merchandise must be accepted for return, regardless of any policy, and you must be given the option of a repair, replacement item, or refund of the price" under MA law.

Vast selection of greeting cards for just about every occasion imaginable (Happy Birthday to my doctor, never seen that before) for 94 cents each. The young lady usually at the register is so sweet. I take the new Providence/Fall River/Newport RIPTA bus from Providence...
Read moreI found some good finds. Not everything they sell is for a dollar. These hats were $2.00 each and the wooden signs. I notice they don't sell many non parish foods items like my favorite vegan ramen noodles I believe it was by canton? They came in vegetable flavors. I don't know it just seems like they don't sell as much goods like the beginning of last year. I hope that will change because this store has nice employees who greet you when you walk in and...
