Buck wild: $1 craze goes beyond dollar stores

— Once upon a time, there was a chain of stores called Everything's a Dollar, where everything was a dollar, except for the things that were two for a dollar, or three for a dollar.

And whenever a customer who was a little unclear on the concept (or just being a smart aleck) would ask a staff member, "How much is this?" the entire staff would call out, as one, "Everything's a Dollar!"

Alas, there are no more Everything's a Dollar stores. The Milwaukee-based chain went bankrupt in the 1990s and has since faded from view.
