Dollar Stores

I bought a pack of balloons from a dollar store today and they all had rips/holes in them. One was cut down the middle. Rip-off.

Well, just because it's a dollar doesn't mean the quality is good. Doesn't mean it's always bad, the dollar store has a lot of good stuff~


Damage during S&H?

I'm not sure but I'm having fun blowing them up and having them pop in my face 😋

Funny, I was going to walk down to the Family Dollar today and get some pens, but I didn't have any money on hand.😋


Must have been a crappy batch. We get balloons from the dollar store throughout the summer and they seem to be okay then.

My mom went to the dollar store the other day to buy plastic straws. They snap when you try to open them 😋

@Metaphor There used to be a Family Dollar where I live, but everything there was more than a dollar... o.o

@dreamer

That tends to be the case here, but there is a dollar section in the one here. It's just not the majority. 😋
I'd walk to Dollar Tree, where everything is actually a dollar, but that's kinda far. xD

In Dollar Tree, everything smells bad. And the interior makes it look kinda shady...
