As a frugal person, I rarely shop at the dollar store because the shit there is so low-quality it’s a poor value even at that price.
Imo, it’s absolutely fantastic for things like cards and gift bags.
People only look at a card for like 30 seconds and then forget about it. It makes more sense to get one at 1/6 of the price of a regular one. Same thing with gift bags.
For most other things, everything in it is shit. But it has its niche cases where it’s superior like that.
You shop at the dollar store because you are cheap. I shop at the dollar store because it is the closest store. We may be the same idk.
I’m cheap BECAUSE I’m poor
I remember watching a YouTube video where dollar store would run local businesses out and would sell low quality products at a higher price once there is no competition.
Classic neoliberalization.
Jokes on you, I’m poor and cheap.
Look, I’m frugal.
But paying more for something is dumb.
The dollar store destroys communities, it’s their fucking business model. Fuck the dollar store
Frugal gang unite!
THUG LIFE.
Remember when goodwill started raising prices because non poor people started shopping there?
Maybe don’t ruin the few stores that poor people can already barely afford.
Is this blaming customers who can afford increased pricing at Goodwill or is it blaming Goodwill for milking their customers once they realized they could get away with it?
It can be both. People don’t realize how much the way they spend their money has a lot to do with why things are the way they are nowadays.
The first time a company raised prices with a bullshit reason they should’ve gone bankrupt by lack of customers. But they didn’t because people have proven they’ll shell out money regardless of the price.
There’s nothing more devastating than walking through an entire dollar store and saying “I can’t afford any of this shit”
If you cheap, you poor. Embrace your friend!
Cheap and poor are the same thing.
No. Being cheap is a choice, being poor usually isn’t
