Batteries

Hear us out on this one! Batteries are one of those things we always need more of but hate to buy because they can be expensive at times. Trust us, you’re better off forking over the extra cash for batteries from another retailer than at a dollar store.

Unfortunately, they are usually duds, according to experts. Cheap batteries have a tendency to leak and damage many of your gadgets. Do you really want to risk it?

You’re better off saving money by purchasing these from the warehouse store for the best deal or using a coupon. Check your local Costco or Sam’s Club. You might just find that you can get some good deals there.

    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!
