    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.

      Yep, their business model is basically to sell smaller packages for a low upfront price, taking advantage of customers that either don’t have the money to buy the big package or have limited transport options.

      It’s another one of those things that illustrate that it’s expensive to be poor.

      You will always spend more in the end if you shop there

      Frugal only counts if you’re poor. Otherwise it’s just being cheap.
