Is Dollar Tree the new Five and Dime store?

I'm a fan of Dollar Tree, for decorations that is...I bought this bunny garland and the gift bags at DT. This is a first for me-decorating my mantel with gift bags. Not quite decorations, buy I'll go with it this year. We are moving to a new place, and I've been packing holiday decorations into totes.  So I put the bags on the mantel. But the real reason is... We have a cat. Did I mention we have a cat. A cat that will find a way to get himself into a box, bag, or tote. In his younger days he would jump up onto the mantel. Two for one task done, decorated mantel and out of reach of the feline. I have fond memories of the Five and Dime store in the town my grandmother lived.  My sister and I would walk to the store from her house and pick out a few things we had to have. I bought my Grandmother this can opener on one of those shopping trips. When she passed away and we were cleaning out her house, I claimed my gift back. It's tucked away in my dish cupboar
