They are just about the only people you find at any of the flea markets
around here.  There is one that has a regular opening on the weekend,
very near to the Sysco that we sometimes shop at.  We did go in there,
and what was being offered was typical Dollar Store junk, seen on TV
junk, and the like.  Nothing that looked like it would last a month on
normal use.  The vendors have semi permanent tables and booths.

If you can find such a market, the that is not what we have seen.
Sounds more like the types of places that CT Ruth likes to visit, but I
doubt that her places are permanent, but temporary things organized by
individuals or various civic organizations.

As I said, never seen such a thing -- we have often shopped at a variety
of thrift stores though.

 DD> Glad Bags are Glad Bags, Arm & Hammer Laundry Detergent is

All of those would be priced higher than $1.00.  Not available in any
type of dollar store I have been in.
