9. Windshield Washer Fluid
Windshield washer fluid is one of those small things you can’t go without. But a lot of us think it’s fine to pay as little as possible for it, right? With just $1 for a gallon of off-brand windshield washer, it might sound like a good deal…
Until you remember that only name brands often (but not always!) guarantee protection when the weather drops to 28 degrees below zero. Cheaper washer fluid doesn’t perform as well, so you have to be careful about the brands you use and when especially if you’re ready to go on vacation.
It’s best to take care of your car with higher quality products, though!
You’ll definitely want to break these next ones fast…..
2 thoughts on “Things to Avoid at the Dollar Store”
Well, it’s obvious you folks writing this article are pretty well off! Like, go to some other place, clip coupons, etc. Well, what you don’t understand is maybe you only got a buck and no way to get across town to a “better deal” or maybe you don’t have a paper to clip coupons anyway! I know you make a living by pointing out awful mistakes people make by shopping at where ever, but it’s better buying something there than getting mugged on a bus to a better deal. Also some of us like cheap stuff. If I knew you and you were sick I would go to the Buck store and buy you a get-well card for 50 cents. I would feel I did my duty and I’m sure you throw all your cards, especially some cards, away immediately so we both would be happy, and yes you could drive me across town in your new SUV to buy a really good hammer! I’m sure you do that all the time for folks like me just there to buy a cheap bar of soap!
Thank you for the info — I will pass it on to my daughter who shops at dollar stores
for many items — I am aware of less than adequate sizes and products !
I appreciate the low cost of a few items though !
