14. Soda
Soda manufacturers often get away with bad deals in dollar stores. Most consumers expect to find really cheap off-brands in places like Dollar Tree. The truth? You can find even cheaper name brand sodas in 2l bottles at the grocery store- and the same goes for cans. So just because you find something in a dollar store doesn’t mean it’s cheaper.
It does, however, mean the quality might be sub-par. Consumers have long since complained that sodas from dollar stores simply do not taste good, so that’s another reason you should avoid them.
