Top 9 Reasons to Avoid Dollar Stores

4. Temptation to impulse buy

Dollar stores can easily turn you into a shopaholic because they are full of random items. And you will be tempted to buy everything you see, like an excited kid that goes into a toy store. You may “accidentally” end up with a basket full of items that you don’t actually need.

Of course, this is not a good idea, especially if you are trying to be careful about your budget. Instead of going to a dollar store and tempting yourself with cheap stuff, try to do your daily shopping in other stores where you can find both quality and good deals when it comes to prices.

    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.
