Things NOT to buy from the Dollar Store???

Question

Can you list some things you bought from a dollar store and had bad experience with, that you will never buy again!??

Answer 1

Check for  expiration dates.  Lots of $ stores buy stuff that is marginal, and may be outdated by the time you buy it.  

Also, if it looks too good to be true, like an mp3 player for a buck, forget it.

Watch out for stuff that is cheap only because it is a small quantity.  6 ounces of dish detergent for a dollar isn't cheap, it's just small.

Answer 2

no i never had any bad experience at all really generic brands are just as good as the real thing, i love to compare the original with the generic and believe me every thing is the same in ingredients. there is a difference in price that's about it.

Answer 3
