            Dollar Stores provide tremendous savings no doubt! You can find a lot of products (even some name brand) on the shelves for dirt cheap. However, personally... there's just some things that I wouldn't trust buying from the dollar store. One of these things are Vitamins! Vitamins are one thing I just wouldn't trust purchasing at any Dollar Store. There's a few other things but I'll let you speak now -- So what about you? What would you absolutely NOT purchase from the Dollar Store??

                    Anything! It is true when they say you get what you pay for and with the dollar store you are getting a dollars worth use out of their products. That is one of the resons there are able tosell things so cheap.

                            Well now I wou;dn't be that hard on the ole dollar store. Some things are actually a great find and well worth more than a buck.

                    Do you mean the stores where everything is only $1.00?
At first I was thinking you meant other stores like 'Dollar General' or 'Family Dollar'. I call those Dollar Stores, but they have things for all prices and I think everything is ok to buy there.
However, at the stores where everything is $1.00, I learned not to buy umbrellas there. They are so thin, they flip inside out and break when the wind blows.
I wouldn't buy their vitamins either. 
But if they have a name brand toothpaste I'll buy it there.
But sometimes $1.00 sounds good, but you can usually buy a tube of toothpaste at Walmart for less than that.

                            Yeah you have it right I meant the true $1 store where everything's a dollar. I know what you mean about those flimsy umbrellas. I got caught in the storm with one of those cheapos and the material blew off and all I was holding was the umbrella railing LOL... It'll NEVER happen again ;-)

                    Heath products like you mentioned. I will not buy vitamin or toothpaste at the dollar store. While there may be nothing wrong with them, I'm not going to find out. I also don't buy batteries there. They do work, for a solid 10 minutes, then they die immediately. What's the point in that? I'm sure there are other things, I'll have to think about it.

                            Yeah me and dollar store batteries have never gotten along either. I wonder what these things are made of that they fizz out so rapidly???
