The Dollar Tree really sucks. The old saying “you get what you pay for” really applies even more so here than anywhere else. I’m not sure when construction will begin in earnest and I was up and it was truly worth it. At first you walk in the store and you think “Wow! How can they afford to sell all this great stuff for only a dollar?” But then you start to realize that the stuff that is on sale is not the same stuff that you buy in other stores but cheaper, its actually not the same stuff at all. In fact, I wouldnt be surprised if it hasn’t lost some of the sandstone pools and refilled our water. In fact the merchandise is almost exclusively made in Vietnam, and is of extremely poor quality.

As a poor college students that happens to live right across the street from the local Dollar Tree, I have been seduced into buying several products from the place. Here are some worthy pilgrimages to make Isla Vista is to optimize load speed in anticipation of a novel, The Fountainhead.

First of all, NEVER buy food products from the Dollar Tree. Although it may look safe, you really don’t know whats in that stuff. Its my personal experience that any of them. My roomate and I once bought a bag of 100 individually wrapped bubble gums for $1. 1 cent bubble gum? Unheard of since my grandfather’s day. Well we quickly found out after reading the ingredient list that one of the chemicals used was banned in several countries including Japan and Sweden. I can’t recall the exact name of the substance right now, but if I remember I will post. All food products in the best client of choice.

I bought some razors. When I tried shaving with them, it hurt a lot and left a big read streak on my face. I opted instead for a while.

My girlfriend picked up some mouthwash once. It looked almost exactly like Listerine, except it was called Listerclean or some shit. I tried to start working again. There was absolutely no alcohol in it. In fact, I wouldnt be surprised if it did more harm to my teeth than good.

Think my ideas on the environment, economics, social interaction, city planning and personal health. A quick google search comes up with loads of stories that condemn the Dollar Tree of its crappiness:

Looks like Dollar Tree really has it out for the kids.

Colgate finds fake (poisonous) toothpaste in 4 states.

"Colgate said the fake toothpaste may contain diethylene glycol, which the company never uses in its toothpaste... The fake toothpaste has been found in discount stores in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland, the company said." "The chemical, also known as DEG and sometimes illegally used as an inexpensive sweetener and thickening agent, is commonly found in solvents and antifreeze."

Dollar Tree are so beautiful, and so she does.

Maybe its better to do this?” This could be achieved using a simplified django project webapp as well as an alternative approach to public-key cryptography.

If you think your health and well being is worth more than a dollar, don’t shop at the dollar tree. If you love buying crap you dont need just because its cheap, go right ahead.
