DG Market — Local services in Union City

With an abundance of Dollar General stores in our area, I was wary about another one opening in town.

However, branded as DG Market, this store differs from a typical Dollar General since it offers a broader selection of items.

They offer the same basic items found at Dollar General stores but also feature a refrigerated section with a variety of meats, produce, and fruits. They also have an expanded frozen food section.

I can honestly say that I've run across some great deals at this particular store. I like Body Armor hydration drinks. They had a promotional sale on them this week where you get 3 for $3. I bought 3 the day I was there and actually went back and bought 6 more later in the week.

I also found a bundle of Tootsie Pops for $1.

Make sure you download the DG app and register an account. They have a ton of coupons and deals on there. Plus, if you enter your phone number at checkout, you can keep up with your receipts through the app, too.

Checking out can take a little longer than I'd like, but in the times I've been there, it's usually because the customers in front of me slow down the process. Having a self-checkout kiosk would greatly benefit this location.

There is a lot of merchandise packed in the store, which can make navigating your way around a little adventurous, but just about every Dollar General store I've been in is similar in nature.

For me, it's a convenient quick stop when I need something I forgot during my weekly grocery trip or to pick up items being offered at a discounted price.
