15 Dollar Store Items Not Worth Buying

5. Kitchen Utensils

Kitchen utensils are relatively cheap to begin with, so you’re not saving too much when buying them at the local dollar store. But if you are in the neighborhood and on the verge of purchasing a ladle, spatula, or slotted spoon from the dollar store, we’d advise to reconsider. Like most items on this list, companies skimped out on the materials when producing their kitchen utensils. This causes a lot of them to be made with plastic that can easily melt. Some dollar store kitchen utensils even contain harmful materials! We wouldn’t use any of them without testing for toxins beforehand.
