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
