5. Knives
Unless you want your vegetables with a side of danger, it’s a good idea to avoid buying knives from the dollar store. You won’t find any sturdy ones in there, and by extension, you won’t get any value for money. In the end, you’ll be forced to head right back in to buy a new blade and so and so forth.
This is a known issue, too. For example, in the case of utility knives, over 200,000 have been recalled from dollar stores after being deemed too dangerous to operate. Their blades could easily slide out past their support structures.
And let’s not forget the fact that chefs all around the world recommend we invest in good quality knives. They’re the experts, so they clearly know what they are talking about.
