No more ironic than a store called 99¢ Only that carries “specialty” items that can range anywhere in price from $1.99 to $14.99...sure, it renders the name of the company/store a bit paradoxical, but it’s not like it’s physically harming anyone, so I don’t see what the big deal is.
That’s just normal inflation. A dollar is worth a lot less now than it was 20 years ago.
Five Below’s website has packs and expansions for $2.50 each. I just ordered three sets and it was only $13 after shipping.
Thank you for the heads up on this, as well. Sounds very interesting to play with my kids (and may make me feel a little less of a musical nincompoop than usual).
They plan to support it indefinitely (subject to change) but it doesn't seem like 12/31/19 is a drop dead date. Harmonix now controls the app and server support. http://www.harmonixmusic.com/blog/an-update-on-dropmix
In my experience dollar tree and dollar general only have a handful of items priced over a buck. With dollar tree the only one I recall off hand is the boy and girl mystery gift bags for 5$ iirc. Everything else is a dollar. With dollar general some food items are over a dollar but since they are the same kind you'd find in a grocery store it makes sense that they can't price it any lower. And they do put up signage specifically pointing it out so people don't get confused.
When that happens, wouldn't the app no longer work?
I shop at Dollar Tree alot and have never seen anything over a dollar (and some items for less). Dollar General is just a name.
Dollar Tree charge for some items at $1.50-$2 (gift cards obviously being more). It's a newish thing that people might not notice when they go to checkout. They partially blame Trump's tariffs for the need to increase the price for some goods.
Thanks a lot for the heads up. I don't remember seeing them on there the other day but it looks like searching for "dropmix" doesn't show everything as the hip-hop playlist was hidden. We'll just have to keep an eye out.
I have never seen anything over $1 at Dollar Tree and my local store still advertises everything at that price. Perhaps it is a regional thing? What are some items that are not $1 at DT?
The point is they sell items over a $1. Just because you never seen it, doesn't mean it isn't true. If you read the articles you'd see that all stores for both DG and DT sell items over a $1.
I clicked the Business Insider article and sure enough, it doesn't appear to be at all Dollar Trees as they are testing the higher price point and it doesn't appear to be guaranteed to roll out at all locations. They only said it would be moving to 100 more locations after the testing. And yes, I can guarantee you that every item I have purchased at my local DT has been $1, at least in my personal history.
It's true, some of the things I've bought at Dollar Tree have been under a dollar.
Most people don't know that they do sell things under a $1 and if you got coupons at multiple dollar stores, you can get stuff for free. Check out #dollargeneralcouponing on Instagram. It's amazing the deals people get there.
Thankfully in this case, I've been told the app will still work, since Harmonix is going to maintain it after getting full control from Hasbro. I would imagine that the Dropmix app is a full game, and not a service like those gacha games, so even if the app is delisted, it should work regardless (until that version of iOS or Android stops supporting it.). Had some delisted games still work for some time.
That is fantastic to hear. Now thinking about it getting it. That disclaimer did scare me off.
Calm down chief. There are many things in this world right now to be get angry and frustrated about, but getting all worked up over items $10 or less is not one of them.
by me dollar tree is always $1 for everything. I always check my receipt every single time at every store/grocery/restaurant/bar. At Dollar general by me almost nothing is exactly a $1 or less.
Does it have a curtain and a warning sign??
Nah. Just shelves with items that have 10 dollar price tags. Some examples are PS3 LEGO dimensions stuff, a PS4 controller named titan something (touchpad is not enabled), games like Homefront Revolution, some TV trays, lamps, some kind of car camera.
Probably best to see what you'd be interested in via the full checklist:

True. But I think even at $10 I still would have bought that Guitar Hero set. If the value is there, $10 is a pretty good deal for something that originally retails at $100. I guess it all depends on what the item is. Now if they were selling some sports game from last year or an older Call of Duty game for that price, I’d see that as a problem since we are already getting those titles at $5.
Wow. Now they're doing DLC for physical board games? The worst timeline. The worst.
Awesome. Nice grab.
I’m not close to a BB, so I placed an order. (Limit 5.)
