Dry goods

Look up dry goods in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. |
Dry goods are products such as textiles, ready-to-wear clothing, and sundries. [1] In U.S. retailing, a dry goods store carries consumer goods that are distinct from those carried by hardware stores and grocery stores[1], though "dry goods" as a term for textiles has been dated back to 1742 in England[1] or even a century earlier.[2] Dry goods can be carried by stores specializing just in those products (a type of specialty store), or may be carried by a general store or a department store[3] or more recently, a big box store.
