Dishwasher Pods
The dollar store is not your go-to spot when it comes to dishwasher pods. While you can get a 2-pack for about $1, you can get a 14-pack for $4.50-$5.50 at stores like Wallmart or Targets. In this case, you may overspend if you invest at the dollar store.
Sandwich Bags
Sandwich bags can be extremely frustrating when you can’t even get them to close. The ones found at the dollar store are even worse because they are made from a cheap plastic that’s difficult to seal and easy to tear. While you may spend an extra dollar or two at the supermarket, it’s worth it not to buy sandwich bags at the dollar store.
