5. Sales at other stores may be less than $1

Believe it or not, plenty of other stores can offer you discounts that go lower than $1. Yes! It’s true! One of them is Costco, which often has deals if you are buying your products in bulk. They offer discounts on huge packs of everyday items like toilet paper, for instance, selling a 36-pack of rolls for $32.

When you do the math, that comes out to be less than $1 per roll. Their deals, however, will also be on trusted brand names, so if you are looking for both quantity and quality, Costco is the real deal. Let’s not forget about Target or Trader Joe’s, which also offer great deals for their customers, and a lot of them can also be less than $1. So which one will you choose? Tell us in the comments.

    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…

    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.
