Pet Food or Treats

When it comes to your four legged loved ones, you might want to avoid buying pet food or any kind of treats from the dollar store. Many people have found that giving low-grade food or chewables to a pet means having a violently ill pet.

Regarding dollar store pet food, you should pay special attention to the expiration dates and the ingredients list on the back, as you would for any other food products.

Frequently, sticking to name-brand pet food is your best bet, especially if there are dietary restrictions for your cat or dog. Furthermore, you might even discover that you’ll get more bang for your buck at the big-brand stores.

    I read all of your picks on what not to buy and your so,so right. I know from experience. Thats what these stores have on their shelves and most people know that. However, its still a fun store to go through regardless. There is always a cheap thing to buy that you can’t do without. lol

    I love Dollar Tree Stores but they need to change the name because nothing is a dollar in there anymore. Their prices start at $1.25 and go up. You really need to watch which isle you are on and watch the products because people are always putting the wrong products on the wrong isle and when you get up to the register you find out the real price of some items.
    You are so right about the plastic cooking utensils; they are marked Betty Crocker but they will melt if they get to hot and who know what the right temperature is for them. I learned the hard way about them melting and no need taking it back to the store, cause who keeps receipts from there and I bought these items when everything was a dollar.
    Anyways I still like going in there and prawling around!
