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.
Don't even buy cards, waste of money. Blank paper, draw some terrible picture related to the thing, fold it and use that.
It's custom, much cheaper, people laugh at your crappy art and everyone's happy, if not happier then some hallmark junk
This...people tell me to go there all the time but I refuse u less I want junk food or something I know I will throw away after a use or two.
You will always spend more in the end if you shop there
Frugal only counts if you're poor. Otherwise it's just being cheap.
