2. “Dollar” Isn’t Really a Dollar
You’ve seen the term “dollar store,” but have you ever noticed how many items cost more than a dollar? This term can be misleading because not everything in these stores costs a dollar anymore. While some items are still priced at a dollar, many are priced at $1.25, $1.50, or even $5.
Dollar Tree, for instance, used to be known for everything costing $1, but they have recently raised their prices on many products. This subtle price increase may seem insignificant, but when you are buying more items, those extra cents will add up quickly. Even though it’s still cheaper than mainstream retailers, the prices make it feel like you’re still getting a great deal, which isn’t always the case.

Sorry but I disagree with what your a saying about dollar tree.! I use many of their cleaning products they work as well most even better! Awesome is an excellent product and I’ve seen it in other big stores for twice the price. I have bought their tools, yes they might not be high quality but for the average home repair they get the job done. Now as far as raising their prices what store hasn’t! A can of soup for a $1.25 for 10 ounces is still cheaper than. 14 ounce can for $3. I buy their disposable razors and shave cream and never had an issue. Have you seen the prices of razor blades and shave cream in Walmart or online! I feel what you have said is a bunch of malarkey! Do you know what the average income is in America? Try living on that when your paying $34 for razor blades. I don’t even come close to spending that in a year!
