Family Dollar isn't a dollar store in the strictest sense; most of their 
stuff costs more than a buck.  I can generally do better elsewhere on
prices 
too.  The big one here is the Dollar Tree. They sell a few good things and
a 
lot of stuff not worth the dollar.

Our gas stations can't sell booze, just ciggies.  To get alcohol you have
to 
go to the package store/liquor store.  Grocery stores can sell beer, but 
nothing stronger.

-> 

Or at least the stench.  Both go in the same direction.
