A decade of slow growth delivered magnificent gains for “dollar store” stocks like Dollar Tree and Dollar General, but both are now going off a cliff. However, pundits can’t agree: Is it because high inflation is making the poor even poorer, pricing them out of even the cheapest retail option in town? Or is it because inflation is easing, so they can now head to larger big box stores where prices have been slashed to increase competition and snag more discount shoppers?
Big box stores like WalMart and Target have introduced more low-cost items to bring in more of these customers, but dollar stores have been contending with other issues as well. There were employee protests at Dollar General due to poor working conditions — an issue that was validated by millions of dollars in fines from the US Department of Labor. Dollar Tree kept contaminated applesauce on its shelves for weeks, even after the manufacturer issued a recall notice. And at Family Dollar (owned by Dollar Tree), a rat infestation struck a distribution center, and it was apparently so severe that the entire facility had to be closed down.
It’s gotten bad enough that Dollar Tree is now considering selling off the Family Dollar brand entirely. But all the dollar stores also overplayed their hand, opening too many new retail locations during their growth period that now they can’t sustain. These are expensive problems stemming from mismanagement, but the core of the issue is a simple common denominator.
Dollar General Stock, 2010-Present
Americans are struggling, going deeper into debt, and their money keeps being worth less than it was 5 years ago. Inflation and other economic woes always hit the poor the hardest. Both dollar stores and big box stores have tight margins, but larger chains have more ability to adjust their inventories with more lower-tier products as needed, helping them more or less obsolete the dollar chains in response to market pressures. And with such tight margins, any mismanagement will have a more destructive effect on the bottom line. […]

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
