Dollar General and Dollar Tree are facing significant financial challenges as inflation strains low-income consumers. Dollar General's CEO noted that households earning under $35,000 are running out of money by month's end, leading to decreased sales. Dollar Tree has also cut its annual forecasts due to weak demand and increased competition from larger retailers like Walmart and Target. Both companies have seen stock declines, reflecting broader economic pressures on their customer base.
