Dollar General in Mesa offers a wide range of everyday essentials at affordable prices, including food, snacks, health and beauty aids, cleaning supplies, basic apparel, housewares, seasonal items, paper products, and more from trusted brands and private labels. The store also sells alcohol and tobacco, and customers can save more with the myDG program. While the staff is generally helpful and friendly, some shoppers have experienced safety concerns, such as encountering people asking for money or being assaulted by a non-shopping individual, with no immediate assistance available at the time. Additionally, long lines with only one cashier can cause frustration, especially during busy hours like lunch. Despite these issues, the store remains a convenient spot for many to find essentials.
