Dollartree is the better dollar store the quality is better and the glassware is comparable to some dept. stores and the candy, gum, and most of the food are name brand and they accept coupons

I purchased laundry soap at my local dollar store. I was in a rush and thought ok this one time….BIG mistake. I broke out in hives which lasted for a week and ended up having to re-wash everything I had already washed. Wasted time AND money.

I can only partly agree with this. Some of those items are ok
If you make extra sure you’re getting a good value. What I’m
surprised isn’t mentioned is that no-name facial tissues or
paper towels are no good.

You must be referring to the “Store Brand” razors, because I buy Gillette razors at the dollar store and the are they same as Gillette razors sold anywhere, except they are cheaper. However, last week I bought four 2packs of Energizer D size batteries at the dollar store (they were indeed cheaper) but they were all DEAD. So who’s to say what is best and what isn’t?

sure the dollar store has some off brand and inexpensive products but they also carry just about everything in both the generic and name brand items. don’t let this article fool you. the quality of the generic is not the same but you have options. this article makes you think all that is available is the generic brands. i shop here becuase i want to not because i have to.

I totally agree with Steve, it is no different than buying an off brand name at a grocery store, is it?

I don’t totally agree with this list…not everything is quality of course but, there are a lot of great things….i always buy my batteries there and they last just as long as the expensive ones I bought before (which is why I switched)…the trick is the dollar tree usually has 2-3 brands and you need to pick the right one..because one of them does drain quickly (can’t remember the name)….the other thing to consider is sometimes when you really need something but, you really don’t have the money and have to buy it and you had to take money out of your change jar to get it…it’s nice to find you can still buy some items you usually buy in a smaller package to get you through till you can afford to buy it in the regular size…i live fabuloso (I lived in Mexico and that is the #1 all purpose cleaner…it has a great sents and it’s great on floors and added to whites)…sure I can get a big bottle for $2 something at Walmart but, sometimes I just don’t have the money…and I always buy my paper good there (tp & paper towels)..that is just my opinion.

The light bulbs we bought lasted only two months.
