6. It’s better to buy food elsewhere
This is one of the best dollar store secrets that you should know and remember every time you want to buy food from a store like this. Although you can buy it at any dollar store, it’s better to avoid doing so if you have other alternatives.
In other words, try to make all your food purchases at supermarkets or department stores. Avoid food shopping at dollar stores because these places sell fewer products with less quality.
Grocery chains will always offer you a wider range of products and, most importantly, fresh foods. If you avoid buying food and groceries at dollar stores, you and your family will have a better chance to eat healthier.

I was just at my Dollar Tree and most items are now $1.25. But I disagree about your comment about food items. Canned goods are a great deal and there are a number of name brands. I just bought Campbells, Healthy Choice and Swanson canned soups. There were also DelMonte and Dole fruit and veggies in cans. Regular size cans. And the brand of Gnocchi is Pampa and from Italy. I also see same at my grocery store. I suppose all stores are different.
I completely agree with you. I buy dry beans, and there’s nothing wrong with them. Also a few frozen items are great. We need to do our own research.
I totally agree with you.. there definitely items or products that are cheaper than the grocery stores, etc… Still best place to shop for discounts
wish this was for Canada!
once when traveling, we could not find a grocery store and it was the only place we could find a loaf of bread. Once while staying in a resort area, i.e. prices in the stores and restaurants were very high so we went to the dollar store and bought 1/2 pints of ice cream for $1.00 each. It was great for dessert or a snack while we watched TV. Now we only buy facial tissues at the Dollar store for $1.25 and that’s still cheaper than Sams and the grocery store.
whoever throws shade on Dollar Tree has not had much experience with these stores. Or else hasn’t done much shopping anywhere over last several years. it is absolutely one of my favorite places to save a few bucks, including many canned goods, eye glasses, pet supplies, mouthwash, kitchen tools, etc, etc.
Yes, I agree about canned good another replier made! I buy Healthy Choice Chicken Rice soup on line by the case because I am GF and this soup doesn’t bother me!!!!! So I buy 5-6 cases and pick it up at my local Dollar Tree. Great to have on hand in case of emergency as well!
I love dollar tree.
