I shopped at a Dollar General food 'market' for the first time. I wouldn't go back unless it was my only choice.

• Dollar General operates about 19,000 stores in the US, 2,700 of which focus on fresh groceries.
• DG Markets stock produce, meat, and other foods that aren't typically found in dollar stores.
• I visited a DG Market and found the selection limited and the prices higher than grocery stores.

Dollar General wants to be lots of things, like a bank and a clinic with basic health services.
