I think its maybe a 'first world' view, that every body goes to Dollar Stores for the same things the upper class go there for. One source noted there are many times more Dollar Stores in Texas alone, than WalMarts across the entire USA. Gotta be a reason, and it isn't batteries.
The 'unfrozen meat section' is a prestige-item display case with really a trivial amount of product on display compared to the square footage dedicated to it. Vs every other section of the grocery, with racks 5-10 shelves high crowded with products. I honestly buy meat at the butcher counter maybe once a month, for a special occasion. Not a lot to do with 'what I usually eat'. Maybe its different for others.
