"The Bargain Store" was a 1975 single and album by Dolly Parton. In the Parton-penned title track, one of her best known compositions, she used worn, second-hand merchandise in a discount store as a metaphor for a woman damaged by an ill-fated relationship. The song was dropped from a number of country stations' playlists, when programmers mistook the line "you can easily afford the price" as a thinly veiled reference to prostitution. Despite the decreased airplay, the song nonetheless topped the U.S. country charts in April of 1975.

The album was comprised largely of Parton's own compositions, but also contained Merle Haggard's "You'll Always Be Special to Me". (Haggard in turn covered Parton's "Kentucky Gambler", from this album, later in 1975.)
