Dollar General says 2,000 items will actually cost $1 or less. What's included?

Dollar General is pursuing a $1 price point, announcing 2,000 items will cost $1 or less. The program includes many food items and a new frozen aisle for $1 products. Value Valley offers 500 rotating items at $1, with emphasis on health and beauty. Dollar General operates over 21,000 stores in 48 states and plans to open 450 more by year end. May inflation rose 4.2% year over year, after 4.0% in April. Some top items still exceed $20, including Legos and appliances. The price strategy comes as inflation remains elevated, shaping consumer behavior toward discount retailers.
