FAMILY DOLLAR Locations

I finally did it. I scraped together every extra dollar for six months. Picked up weekend shifts. Sold stuff. Skipped meals. Got my $3000 credit card balance down to zero. I was so ******* proud of myself. Checked my credit score this morning. It dropped 28 points. Twenty. Eight. Points. Because apparently closing out your only credit card or having "too low" credit utilization is bad for your score. The advice I always see is "pay off your cards" But what they don't tell you is that only works if you have multiple cards with available credit. If you only have one card and you pay it off completely the system punishes you. I'm sitting here at a 612 credit sc...

My SS (10) has been really mistreating me lately. I would say it's been about the last 3 months. He would refuse to speak to me and demand I do things for him. No pleases. No thank you. Nothing but "I'm hungry, make me food." kind of statements. Last week my DH and I both sat down with him to address these behaviors. After speaking for a few minutes, he told us that "he didn't want to choose favorites". We asked him what he meant by that. He was quiet for a minute, and we asked him if WE had done anything to make him feel like he had to choose. He said "no". We asked if anyone else was making him feel that way. He started crying. After both of us...

Our store has been struggling hardcore to keep departments staffed. I work in the deli and for what seems like half a year now we’ve been running on MINIMAL staff, with having only one closer most nights and one opener in the morning. We’ve been asking HR “please when are we getting more people” and they always lie and say “oh we have two or three people lined up” then months would pass and nothing. It got to the point where they re hired two people who had quit without giving notice, one who had multiple NCNS and everyone really disliked because he never worked. It made me realize that it’s not that HR isn’t hiring people, but no one is applying. Everyone in my store complai...

Hi everyone! I previously posted in a blue velvet dress( last pic) and got some feedback about needing a shawl or velvet being the wrong fabric So I went to the thrift store today and found two dresses that I liked and were only like 6-8 dollars I wanted to try and either not need a shawl or switch the fabric? Any thoughts? Or should I stick with the blue? I wanted to buy a different one but I need to conserve money at this point and because these were cheap I bought them

CONTEXT (if you want to skip the mouthful scroll down to the word DETAILS): My family hardly cares for me, and I am the bottom of the totem pole. They often forget to talk to me, or invite me to family events. They don’t check on me, despite everything I’ve gone through. They disagree with my existence, they are incredibly religious. I am *******. They are morally different and view me as less than for my beliefs, and talk to me like I’m this fragile incompetent creature. I am divorced, with 2 failed relationships since. The most recent ending a week ago. I haven’t been single longer that a couple months since I was 12 years old. My exhusband is a man, a good man with alcoholis...

I work overnight at retail and my store manager is frankly my idol. I wanna be like her when I’m her age. Do I tell her this or is it too much? For context, I’ve been at this job for a bit less than a year. She’s everything I want to be. I do not have any romantic or sexual attraction to her I just think she’s what I want to be out of life. She’s very confident and on top of things and has a cool family. I’d like to express my gratitude and also she’s my role model. Do I tell her this?

hi idk if this is really the place for this, i’ve had mental health issues for all of my life. but right now I’m super sick and it’s effecting work and my boss won’t answer me anymore. i barley get sick so it’s not like i’ve ever called off for it before. But when I’m super sick I also get even more depressed and my boyfriend of 6 years is leaving for a long work trip and I’ll be all alone. I feel very sad about it and just want a medicine to boost my mood, but I know that’s not possible so idk what I can do. I can’t eat, I don’t have the ability to go to the store to get food to help me through the sickness. I’m a huge empath and feel awful about work. my bosses are ...

For years we heard non-stop updates and conspiracies about the so called "Biden Crime Family", yet these people seem to be awfully quiet about the unprecedented level of corruption coming from the Trump family. Literally billions of dollars gained just this past year in the form of bribes, crypto scams, new real estate developments, military contracts, you name it. I just want proportional outrage here. Years of anger and speculation for a few million, but crickets at billions?

When portals rip open across Earth, sixteen-year-old Maxwell Carpenter—known online only as **Orion**—is one of the first to step inside and come back changed. Monsters, levels, classes, loot… it’s all real. And Max isn’t starting from zero. He carries the instincts and memories of a life from another world, along with terrifying powers: telekinesis, holy fire, and a soul-forging gift that turns kills into growth. While governments scramble and cities fall into panic, Max and his family claim a dungeon, form the **Swords of Hope**, and begin training others—fast—because the rifts don’t stay small for long.https://play.google.com/store/books/details?pcampaignid=books\_read\...

i just got my first big boy job after graduation at a startup and i was excited cause this market is terrible lol. it started off with an unpaid phase for three weeks and then the paid phase starts. but she never ends up paying me. i have literally pressed her on this issue multiple times with so many emails and messages and she doesn’t seem to care. she keeps saying how it’s pending or it’s a bank problem or it’s something with the payroll software but it’s been over 75 days and i haven’t seen a single dollar. all i hear from her is more tasks to be completed. and the worst part is i can’t quit abruptly. since i’m not a citizen of the us, i cant quit jobs as frequently cau...

**According to DW Turkish, the Turkish Ministry of Family and Social Services is reportedly preparing amendments to Law No. 5651 that could affect digital game platforms operating in Türkiye.** If accepted, platforms such as **PlayStation Store**, Steam, and Epic Games Store may be classified as “game distributors” and required to appoint a local legal representative. On paper this sounds procedural, but many Turkish **PlayStation users** are concerned due to how Law No. 5651 has been applied in the past. In previous cases involving social media and streaming services, similar “local representative” requirements were followed by: – heavy administrative fines – advertising ...

Unchecked mass migration of those antithetical to western values to Europe and North America for apparently no reason other than “economy good”. Billions of dollars siphoned away from Americans to a semi-colonial state in the Middle East. The decline of social values like family, ambition, and community. Why is this happening?

I've been dissecting standup specials and improv shows for months now (weird hobby, I know), and I noticed something wild: the funniest people aren't necessarily the ones with the best jokes. They're the ones who know how to TELL a story. Like, my friend can make a trip to Costco sound like a Netflix special, while another friend has genuinely crazy experiences but tells them like a police report. The difference? Structure. Timing. Emotional buildup.  This isn't about becoming a comedian. It's about making people actually want to listen when you talk. About being memorable at parties. About having people lean in instead of checking their phones. I dove deep into ...

First off, there can be no discount on gold price anywhere. For making charges/ wastage you can negotiate. It works in shops/ family stores / listed jewellers. I could never get it to work in Tanishq though. They also give discounts but not to my liking in the range of 2.5-5% making charges. It works where the guy who CAN give discounts is there in the store. There is one method which works wonders. It's a bluff basically. I have used it once. And am Not proud of it. Step1: you tell them you have a big purchase coming up in next to next month. So now you would say that you are buying 200+ grams gold in april for a family marriage. Step2: You show interest in their diamond jewellery ...

Did you ever have family members that you swore were out to get your relationship? My husband and I have completely turned our lives around, got sober, started working out and generally trying to make our lives better for our kids. Every chance they get, my family tries to start ****. Telling me they saw my husband at the weed store (except he couldn’t have been because we were together the entire day, not to mention I smoke so I wouldn’t give AF anyways) Most of the people in my life have absolutely terrible relationships. Don’t trust their spouse, not happy in their life, and my husband and I are so freaking happy. Tell each other everything, it just seems like jealousy, but will...

After several months of warnings saying the battery needed changing on my 2021 M1 macbook pro, I drained it fully one evening and when I replugged it to charge, the chord got accidentally disconnected while the computer was rebooting. The computer "died" after that event, meaning there was no power (light on the charger was off) getting to the computer. I went to an Apple store for an assessment. They told me the logic board is dead and needs replacing entirely according to them (and the battery as well). The only possibility of data recovery was through DriveSavers according to them, they gave me their business card and said it would cost thousands of dollars to get my data recov...
