In the US we have "Dollar Tree" where everything was... One dollar.

A couple years ago they raised the prices to $1.25, we now call it "the five-quarter store".

Wouldn't it also have sales tax added anyway?

Poundland really would charge £1.

Depends on the state.

Some states don't have sales tax.

Years since I’ve seen one, let alone been in one. How much is it now?
