Dollar Tree being only a single dollar on everything.

I didn't know Dollar Tree existed further back in the years like the 80s. But, I didn't discover the store until like late 2000s. That store was a godsend for my then mostly broke ass. Sure the quality of products could've been better and the food selection could've been better, but they were there for me and others who're strapped on budgets.

And it was a good 16 years while that lasted. It is a little annoying at times to shop there and know it is no different than Dollar General and Family Dollar. But it could've been worse.

So I've started really enjoying theatres post-pandemic. It comes down to going to the right theatre and not going to a super packed premier night showing. I'll usually attend a weekend matinee or a weeknight showing of something that's about to drop from the theatre cycle when it's not very busy and you don't have to fight for seats. Going rate is like $18 per ticket for a nicer theatre which if you only go 2-4 times a year like I do is perfectly agreeable

Now I could see someone who goes weekly or biweekly really not liking the theatre experience these days but that's not me
