View Date:2024-12-23 16:57:56
Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money.
Maybe it's time for a philosophical debate about the meaning of the term "dollar store."
Discount retail giant Dollar Tree has announced that it will raise the price cap in its stores to $7, my colleagues report.
We think we see a trend. Back in 2021, the company raised the base price of its items to $1.25, and a $5 price cap was set in June. A dollar is not what it used to be.
What Dollar Tree items will fetch $7?

For a blow-by-blow of how Trump's fortune reached these heights, read the story.
