Budget retailer Dollar General Corporation (NYSE:DG) has benefited from inflation-ridden consumers as its shares have gained 46% year-to-date.

Here are Cramer’s earlier thoughts about Dollar General Corporation (NYSE:DG):

“I mean I would say that if you default to the companies that have reported in the last 24 hours, actually not a bad bunch to default to, what you find out is that what are the American people doing? Well the American people are shopping at . . .Dollar General. . .And that is a sign that the American people do not feel very secure. And that’s something that Home Depot said, they don’t feel very secure. That is going to keep projects on the sidelines and keep people from spending the way that they would like.

“Yeah look, Dollar General is, a company that for some reason people thought had lost its way. They don’t understand if you’ve ever gone to one, you know that it’s a place where a lot of people feel they get good bargains.”
