A "good" dollar store isn't thaaaat much worse price wise than Walmart or a "cheap" grocery store. It's generally slightly worse across the board, but consistently better than the whatever the expensive grocery store is though the selection is way worse.
It really peeves me I didn't notice this sooner because I'm usually pretty good at identifying bullshit tropes that are really just the middle class fishing for reasons to feel superior and the idea that the poors are getting screwed at the dollar stores one just flew right by because I never shopped much at a dollar store until one opened near me.

Further subdivision is only useful in some contexts.
