I will say that The Dollar Store does have a good selection of things like
that, and so does the .99 cent store. Of course they don't always get the
same things in, but with the flax seeds they seem too. The Dollar Store
carries no produce, but the .99 cent store has some really nice produce at
times, as well as some not so nice produce at times.
