8. Lack of variety
Every time I go to the supermarket, I am looking for a variety of products. And just in case I don’t find my favorite item, I can surely tweak my shopping list because there will be plenty of other options. Unfortunately, I can’t say this about dollar stores. Consumer Reports employees recently carried out an experiment to evaluate the true value of dollar stores in eight different cities throughout the nation. They discovered that there were very few options available in terms of brand variety. Actually, a lot of people complain about the fact that dollar stores have just one brand of shower gel or travel-size versions of toothpaste and deodorant.
If you are looking to do your daily shopping at dollar stores, it may not be the best idea. Because there are plenty of supermarkets that offer you a variety of products and amazing discounts!
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…
There is nothing in the dollar General store for a dollar they need to change name upper dollar General store
I ONLY BUY CLEANING SUPPY
Thank God for the dollar store`s !!!!
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.
