Top 9 Reasons to Avoid Dollar Stores

1. Quality of the products

We already established that dollar stores are an amazing place to buy a lot of essential stuff for your house, but it’s also a place where you can easily waste a lot of money. Most of the time, we are tempted to buy cheap products and forget that the quality is important as well.

For example, if you want to buy kitchen utensils like a set of knives or some oven mitts, you should know that most will not be made of very high-quality material. Dollar stores mostly sell things made of plastic, and that is not ideal, especially if you are going to use them for cooking at high temperatures.

    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.
