 Buck or Two - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Buck Or Two is a Canadian chain of dollar stores and is based in Concord, Ontario.
Cheaper items are often priced in multiples (two for $1, three for /$1, etc) and unlike some stores, these items can be bought singly if desired at no increase in price.
However, the higher limit means that items often offered for $1 in dollar stores may be slightly higher in the "Buck Or Two" stores.

 Cole Danehower on Marketing- Two Buck Chuck
The fear that will not be spoken out loud is that Two Buck Chuck will convince the general consumer that they can, from now on, expect to get a quality wine for $2.00.
In fact, the real danger of Two Buck Chuck is not that people will come to expect all other wines to be priced at a similar level.
The gauntlet thrown down to the industry by Two Buck Chuck is that they will have to start delivering more quality for less price in order to attract new consumers—and to prove to consumers that inexpensive wine doesn’t have to taste like Charles Shaw.
