Plastic Cooking Utensils
The dollar store has always been a go-to destination whenever planning a barbecue or summer block part. But take a breath before you head straight to the aisle with all the plastic cooking utensils.
Plastic cooking utensils from a dollar store, like plastic slotted spoons, spatulas, and the like, might contain bromine, a component in brominated flame retardants, also known as BFRs, which have been linked to obesity, cancer, and diabetes, according to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
You should think about saving your hard-earned dollars and buying higher-quality stainless steel cooking utensils instead. The environment will also thank you!

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
