6. Conveniently Placed Impulse Buys
Dollar stores know exactly how to get you to spend more money than you planned. The layout is designed to encourage impulse buys. Items that aren’t essential are placed in high traffic areas or at the front of the store. These are often smaller, cheaper items like candy, snacks, novelty goods, or seasonal products.
These impulse buys will add up quickly, and these extra purchases will significantly inflate your total bill without you realizing it. The more you pick up without thinking, the more you are spending on things that you don’t actually need, especially because you’ve convinced yourself the items are too cheap to pass up.

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!
