Electronics
While visiting the dollar store, it’s best if you skip the electronics aisle, according to consumer savings experts. Most electronics that plug in are a waste and don’t last long, especially regarding HDMI cords and power strips.
When dealing with electronics, it’s best to purchase from a legit electronic retailer or an online store like Amazon.com to receive lower prices.
Extension cords and USB cables from dollar stores have previously been flagged for high chlorine levels in a dollar store safety report released by the Ecology Center and Campaign for Healthier Solutions nonprofit organization.
That meant the cords were made of polyvinyl chloride plastic or PVC. And the research suggested that this is a cancer-causing chemical.
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 can’t but go and visit dollars store to buy things so I love to buy my need there.⁹
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!
