2. Chemicals found in products
Oh! That’s a serious issue! In the past few years, I’ve tried to keep a careful eye on labels as much as possible to make sure I’ve made a healthy choice with my products, but a lot of times it’s not that easy. Everyone knows that a lot of products contain chemicals, and, in order to make sure everything is carefully regulated, Coming Clean and the Environmental Justice Health Alliance for Chemical Policy Reform recently teamed up to look into the product safety of well-known budget retailers.
Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, and Dollar General, three of the biggest names in the dollar store industry, were all discovered to have products that had “chemicals of concern.” A lot of them were found to be extremely bad not only for human health but also for the environment. Can you believe that the majority of them came from products such as cans of vegetables, kitchen pans, and even headphones? Sheesh! That doesn’t sound good at all!
Perhaps the chain grocery stores should take a look at their prices as they are driving the mass of customers to the Dollar stores…It seems the only place one can cut cost is here as you have a choice of where to shop…Plus the near empty shelves also is a factor…
There is nothing in the dollar General store for a dollar they need to change name upper dollar General store
I ONLY BUY CLEANING SUPPY
Thank God for the dollar store`s !!!!
I shop at 3 – yes, 3 – grocery stores regularly because the major grocer, Publix, changes to new products so often I can’t get what I want so I go elsewhere. I have to buy 24 cans at a time from Chewy because this area doesn’t get cat food regularly – but go to South Florida upscale neighborhoods and there you will find all the cat food you want – at inflated prices. This year my grocery bill has gone up at Publix by more than 30%. Inflation isn’t an excuse. The big stores are gouging us. No wonder we look for deals elsewhere.
