4. Brand Name Confusion
Dollar stores sometimes carry brand-name products, but they’re not always the same quality as the ones that you would find at big retailers. To add to this confusion, many dollar stores sell off-brand products with packaging that looks suspiciously similar to popular brands.
Take, for example, snacks or cleaning products that use very similar colors, fonts, and logos as your favorite brands. The idea is to trick your brain into thinking you are buying a product that you know and trust, even though it might be of lower quality. It’s not actually false advertising, but it’s a clever manipulation to make you feel confident in a product that might not live up to the original brand’s standard.
