1. Tiny Packaging for Bigger Prices
Have you ever grabbed something from the shelf and thought that that was such a great deal, only to realize the product inside the box or package is much smaller than what you get at regular supermarkets? Dollar stores are notorious for this deceptive packaging tactic. The items might seem large and tempting, but they have far less product.
For example, a small can of soup might be labeled as a dollar, but it could be 10 ounces, whereas the same brand at a grocery store might offer a 14-ounce can for just a few cents more. It’s a classic bait technique that will make you feel like you are saving some money when, in fact, you’re getting less.
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!
