Surprised there's not much value around now that it's all $1.25. The good items haven't returned (at least the ones I looked for), and the merchadise was picked over, and the sizes haven't increased. What was good at $1 ain't so valuable at the higher price.

But what really caught my attention and the reason I post is I didn't buy anything and WOW do the employees look you over when you walk out of the store without buying anything. They must have been told to look for thiefs.
