It IS a lot of name brands, and not all DT stores have exactly the same product. I have 4 DT stores very close to where I get out and about, and each of them has something none of the others have. So if you have multiple stores in your area, check them all out and consider making a list/whatever of which stores have what, so you can refer back to it. :D
I think the confusion regarding $1 off coupons is because of #4 on the list of terms and conditions in DT's coupon policy. Link below:

As long as the coupon does not say the word "free" on it, as in "BOGO, B2GO/etc.", or simply "free xxxxx"/where they would be required to enter an amount, then they should accept it.
However #9 allows them to refuse any coupon they want for any reason. Period.
I recommend printing this policy out, and if there is a question, kindly refer to it with the store manager, who makes the final decision on whether to accept it or not.
I was able to use $1 off coupons just fine at several DT stores in my area. You will still need to pay tax on any taxable items though.
GOOD LUCK!!
PS I added even more photos of stuff I found at my most recent trip to another DT store in my area.
