    Pretty sure DG sells dairy products… theres also DG markets, they are more inline with a small supermarket.

    But DG is shit and only exist because they pushed everything else out or gobbled up the left over from walmart.

      Yeah, we have four in my town and none of them sell dairy products. I’ve heard they’ve been pressured to provide healthier options with some success.

        I avoid shopping at DG, but i checked my local one’s online catalogs… they all sell dairy stuff, but like 90% are out of stock. Lmao
