8 Ways Dollar Stores Are Trying to Fool You

5. Limited Product Variety

Have you ever noticed that some of the items in dollar stores only come in limited colors, scents, or styles? That’s because they are often designed to be less versatile than products that you find at other retailers. By only offering one or two variations, dollar stores can save inventory and shelf space, but it also means that you might not get the full selection you’re looking for.

This will force you into making a purchase based on convenience rather than choosing the best product for your needs. For example, when shopping for cleaning supplies or personal care items, you might have to settle for a product that’s either too small or not the right fit, just because it’s the only option available. You might feel tricked into thinking this is your only choice, even though you could find something way better at a larger store.

  1. 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!
