3. Paper Goods
A couple of months ago people were going coo-coo for toilet paper. National shortages swept every state. Back then we would have told you to buy toilet paper, no problem, from dollar stores. But now that issue has been dealt with, so we’re going back to our initial tip: do not buy paper goods from dollar stores! Ever!
I’m sure we don’t have to go into details, right? Let’s just say that the stuff they sell, which has fewer fibers, does not make for comfortable usage.
In terms of name-brands, you’ll find the same problems we’ve discovered with shampoos. Simply not worth it!
Warehouse clubs are far superior in the paper goods department. But if you’re not a member you could still find good deals from regular grocery stores, especially if you don’t want to buy in bulk.
Don’t be shocked if you waste money on these next items…..

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 !
