FAMILY DOLLAR Locations

I've been here a while but the amount of stuff that people have been getting for Christmas is insane. For 5 years I've wished one thing only. Anakin's pod racer Lego set for 20 bucks that was in a local store 5 years ago (sold out since unfortunately). Never got it and I was hinting hard to my family and partner all the time haha. But no. I got usually undersized socks some random stuff that was probably a regift (I dont smoke and got an ashtray with a monkey in the middle?), apron (that I actually use and it's cool) and more socks. I know I'm 30 years old but due to poor wage I rarely find myself spending on my hobby..but c'mon. I'm grateful for all and...

you know what my family does every year? Give me a demand list. “I need a new gamer chair” “I want a 300 facial!” What happens when I deny them and just say no? I’m the worst person ever! Everyone went ”above and beyond“ for me! I got a rain poncho from the dollar store and they’re trying to guilt trip me that I didn’t buy more and spend more?! Every Year! I’m so sick of it! Yes, my family is toxic and I **** that there’s a whole over hyped day for them to get at me every ******* year! I **** that people get a whole week off! I wish I worked in a cvs, Walmart, an ER just so Im not forced into this BS another year! What am I gonna miss? the Christmas Eve pizza dinner...

Gonna be a very long story but I feel like the details matter because it’s complex. For context we didn’t break up due to falling out of love or indifference, we broke up due to high pressure from my family not accepting her and me trying to please both sides so she felt she was left fighting alone. The first 7 months of our relationship was long distance while I worked out of state. Our bond was very very strong, when I was out of state we grew very close through video calls and I stood by her side when she came out about a traumatic event and I supported her while she went through therapy and also legal stuff and she always felt safe with me. I did visit her once during those 7 mont...

I am looking for $20.00 to divert an upcoming package arriving tomorrow. I need to hold it at the UPS location until I pick it up. It'll cost me 5.99. I have zero dollars right now. This will help me tremendously. I want to surprise my family.

The Power of the "Exit Plan" One user had to take their 12-year-old niece on a "battery run" just to escape a narcissistic sister throwing a tantrum over presents. The Common Sense Take: You are never "stuck." Having a pre-planned reason to step away (like a store run) is a brilliant way to protect your peace and the kids involved. 2. Boundaries vs. Enabling We saw stories of brothers swearing at sisters and parents making excuses for them, or moms refusing to see their grown kids as adults. The Common Sense Take: Family doesn't give someone a "jerk pass." Sometimes, the most sensible thing you can do is leave early, just like one user did when t...

People I need advice please I feel like the biggest a\*\*hole so my husband‘s family arranged a Christmas exchange almost like secret santa but it wasn’t so secret jaja everyone knew or had an idea of who picked who. I got my FIL, so I asked my MIL and my Husband for advice and I thought since my husband gave him a beanie a long time ago and he uses it religiously, I was gonna crochet him a new beanie and a matching scarf so I went out and got expensive baby alpaca yarn so it would be a very warm beanie and scarf (my MIL and hubby approved this idea). I started working on it for a couple of days and ran out of yarn I told my husband that I needed to go get more yarn and before we did he ...

"My parents put me in charge of the barbecue this time!", "I'm starting to T!", "I am going to do top surgery", My parents accepted me!". It's awful to see this. Like, I can't start T, soon my brother will be taller than me and will start puberty, I can't start transitioning because of my family.Every day it just gets worse. I'm going to have to leave home; I won't be able to come back without being called demonic or some kind of trash. I haven't had close friends since I was 11; I'm always the second choice, even when I do my best.I'm going to have to spend my Christmas alone, without anyone, without friends. T...

I know this probably sounds weird, but it’s true I’m terrified. I’m afraid of leaving him, of changing everything in my life all at once. I know I should be happy, and part of me is, but this is genuinely the scariest thing I’ve ever done. I’m just a comic book loving photographer from Grand Saline, not some polished, Disney caliber hire. I didn’t lie about anything to get here, but good God, I’m scared. The biggest thing I’m afraid of is losing my family. They mean the world to me. They’ve been encouraging me to do this, but it feels like my stress hasn’t really been heard. This is completely new territory for my family, and with that comes incredibly high expectations....

Okay so I’m 20, the youngest of my family. Now for holidays I get gift cards, new socks, other stuff like that. Even though it hasn’t actually been THAT long since I was a kid, I just realized i haven’t heard a single thing about a gift that parents are fighting for in stores. Like when I was a kid, it was razor scooters, hoverboard, Wii… do kids still even ask for toys now, or is it all electronics and Stanleys? 😭

I know this probably sounds weird, but it’s true I’m terrified. I’m afraid of leaving him, of changing everything about my life all at once. I know I should be happy, and part of me is, but this is genuinely the scariest thing I’ve ever done. I’m just a comic-book-loving photographer from Grand Saline, not some polished, Disney caliber hire. I didn’t lie about anything to get here, but still good God, I’m scared. What scares me most is the thought of losing my family. They mean everything to me. They’ve been pushing me to do this, but it feels like they haven’t really heard how stressed I am. This is the first time since World War II that anyone in my family has done somet...

Ok. Jeg har lige brug for at høre andres mening. Og måske også andre der kender. Det har været en VILD december hos os. To forældre og to børn. Teenager og indskolingsbarn. Jeg har haft rigtig meget arbejde og bekymringer samtidig med min mand har haft overdrevet meget arbejde. Samtidig med et intenst forsøg på at hygge og lave juleting med især den yngste. Pyha. Så kom juledagene og børnene var på besøg hos bedsteforældrene så vi kunne afslutte arbejde og komme d 23. Så er det jo lige over i intenst samvær, børn og gaver og forventninger og vi overnatter hos familie i tre dage. Og så lige en julefrokost i morgen. Jeg er TRÆT. Min mand ligeså. Jeg ville ØNSKE jeg ku...

Been mostly lurking here for a year or so now. I dusted off the old deck about a year or so ago, everything has been mostly stored and unused for the last *cough* 20 years, omg where does that time go when you start a family, I've kept my gear and added over that time. I used to work selling audio gear, new, second hand. I purchased the CD player new, right when they were replaced by the MASH players, there was little to no difference in sound detail/quality. Had to replace the belts on the draw mechanism as they had succumbed to time. The Deck i purchased mid 1990's from the original owner, he was the Sony rep, he owned since new. Had seen little use and sporting a Supex 900 S...

I’m (21M) at a point where I feel like my relationship with my girlfriend (21F) has hit a wall, and I honestly don't know if it’s already over and we’re just waiting for someone to say it. I’ll be the first to admit I haven’t been the best partner lately. Over the last few months, I’ve definitely drifted. I stopped the flowers, the planned dates, and the extra effort. Part of it is being money-conscious (for dates and activities), and part of it is just being emotionally tired. We always also call for 5 minutes before bed when I’m half-asleep, but I know I could’ve called earlier if I really wanted to. The thing is, the "why" behind my lack of effort is compl...

1. Why can’t ABLE accounts just be normal bank accounts? Why are disabled people forced into confusing, poorly managed investment accounts just to have the ability to save money. This problem wouldn’t even be a problem if not for the 2000 dollar saving account limit, so it’s basically turned into a way for companies to make money off of the restrictions placed on disabled people. Saving is basic security. Turning it into a bureaucratic maze just makes it harder for disabled people to survive. Disabled people, particularly those with cognitive disabilities, should not be forced into confusing arrangements just to have a measure of security. 2. Why are disabled people forced to keep l...

So I’m supposed to be working 430-1 tomorrow the 26th but I’m calling out cause of family stuff, when do I call since the store is closed the 25th?

I’m completely broke right now and don’t have a job. I lied to my mom and said I had work and couldn’t get the day off, but the truth is I just can’t afford to drive out there. Every time I’ve said I can’t afford something in the past, she’s made me feel guilty for not being able to drive the six hours to see them, even though it’s a long and expensive trip for me. She tells me they can give me gas money. The first time, I said $60 would be enough to get me back home. The second time, I asked for $100 because I only had about $20 left to my name. She questioned why it was more than last time, and I explained that I simply don’t have the funds anymore. At Thanksgiving, I l...

Guess what’s back? Back Again! Arthur Reviews are back(after a very profound and long hiatus)! Tell a friend! The plot: Arthur, D.W., and their family and friends prepare to make the best Christmas ever in Elwood City - but obstacles get in their way. What i liked: The wide shot of Elwood is incredibly grand and cool, the first song with Arthur was pretty good. The Vegginator commercial is honestly funny. Arthur’s Rampage through toy town was pretty hilarious, and the Scenery and design at Muffy’s party was pretty nice. The outlined flashback of Arthur’s Bethlehem daydream was also real funny. The Baxter day song was also pretty impressive with all the unique backgrounds. The r...

Hello and Happy Christmas to all! I hope you've had a great day. I have but hit a slight stumbling block and am seeking advice. I will be as detailed as possible. My friend got her daughter a refurbished PS5 (i think its a slim) for christmas. Being the technophobe she is, I was enlisted to set it up for her daughter. So I thought easy work. I set to it, all with no problem getting it powered and connected to the tv. And then the set up process, logging her in etc (for context, they have a family PS5 which her daughter has used the past couple of years so has an account already). Because their internet isn't very fast (due to the area they live in) I asked which game she plays most...
