Hit my 50th pack of those weird chili lime cashews from Dollar General

I swear I only buy them for the salty fix on job sites, but last Tuesday I counted the empty pouches in my truck and there were 50. That's $50 right there if each pack costs a buck, plus tax. What's the weirdest dollar store snack you people have gotten hooked on by the numbers?

Is it just me or does the dollar store trick us into thinking we're saving while quietly nickel-and-diming us into a whole new spending category we never budgeted for? Always adds up way faster than a regular grocery run if you break it down.

Funny how the dollar store ends up being the most expensive place if you actually keep track.

@william_miller I read a study somewhere that said dollar stores are actually a TAX on the poor.
