As a frugal person, I rarely shop at the dollar store because the shit there is so low-quality it’s a poor value even at that price.
Yep, their business model is basically to sell smaller packages for a low upfront price, taking advantage of customers that either don’t have the money to buy the big package or have limited transport options.
It’s another one of those things that illustrate that it’s expensive to be poor.
Imo, it’s absolutely fantastic for things like cards and gift bags.
People only look at a card for like 30 seconds and then forget about it. It makes more sense to get one at 1/6 of the price of a regular one. Same thing with gift bags.
For most other things, everything in it is shit. But it has its niche cases where it’s superior like that.
You shop at the dollar store because you are cheap. I shop at the dollar store because it is the closest store. We may be the same idk.
Why are you hating on poor people? Do you think punching down makes good comedy?
I’m cheap BECAUSE I’m poor
I remember watching a YouTube video where dollar store would run local businesses out and would sell low quality products at a higher price once there is no competition.
