A few weeks ago, we presented you with a list of 15 things that you should buy at the dollar store. Okay, great, but it’s a big store: there must be something that you should avoid, either because of crappy quality or because paying a dollar isn’t such a good deal. Right?
Over at Wisebread, they wrote up a list and also flipped it around, detailing ten items you should buy at the dollar store and then that you should avoid.
1. Electric Appliances
If it has an electric plug, don’t buy it. Counterfeit Underwriters Laboratories seals are a thing, so that’s no guarantee of quality. Just stay away.

ReplyDeleteSince I don't do Walmart, I buy some things at the dollar stores. I buy a few of my cleaning products there. I get their brand of foil and use it with Arm and Hammer Washing Soda to clean my silver.
ReplyDeleteI mostly use vinegar which I get at Save A Lot because a lot my things are valuable irreplaceable antiques and vinegar isn't too harsh.
