Yikes! Cleaning supplies and medical stuff are things I will _never_ buy from a dollar store. Most of the cleaning chemicals have more fragrance than active ingredients, they never work well but the place smells like you cleaned like mad. I have to assume the medical stuff is just as poor quality, but I have no way of assessing it.
It also bothers me that a lot of the cleaning products are packed in bottles shaped like drink bottles; an illiterate or merely distracted person could be in for a nasty surprise.
We agree on the food, for sure. It never _says_ it's expired, but it tastes ten years old.
One thing I always get at the dollar store is lint traps. The big box charges 3x the price for an absolutely equivalent product. Lint traps and office supplies. I don't think I've ever bought envelopes or binder clips anywhere else.
