Who doesn’t love a Dollar Tree? It’s easy to get lost in the aisles of endless deals, and it’s not hard to find at least five things that you need during your trip to the discount store. However, while the store is perfect for getting items in a pinch, not all of those items come recommended. Experts are advising shoppers to avoid putting the following items in their carts.

Firstly, electronics. If you are looking for quality electronic devices and tools, you’re better off going to Target or Best Buy. The average lifespan of headphones, chargers, and speakers purchased from the chain store is under a month, indicating that they are likely to have a very limited life.

Additionally, spray bottles and cleaning supplies with nozzles should be avoided. Sure, they do the trick if you only need them for a short while, but in most cases, these bottles break after a few spritzes. Similarly, the nozzles on cleaning supplies will break off in a matter of minutes, rendering them useless.

Utensils are another category to be wary of. When we set out to purchase forks, knives, and spoons, we typically hope to find something that lasts more than a few weeks. The Dollar Tree, unfortunately, is not one of those stores where you can find durable utensils.

Lastly, batteries. Despite their high cost elsewhere, batteries purchased from Dollar Tree may not be the bargain they seem. You are better off paying a higher price for them elsewhere if you want them to last long.
