When your kids or grandkids are involved, it’s best to take everything with a grain of salt and be cautious. Many of the unbranded toys from the dollar store are of lower quality. Even more, they might not meet the current safety regulations.

Do you really want to risk the safety of your child or grandchild just so you can save a couple of bucks? If cash is an issue for you, you can shop the clearance aisles in retail stores and supermarkets, or look for the good, used toys on Craigslist and in second-hand stores.

When it comes to children, we all know the motto: Safety First!

    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!
