I agree, and in some way it is not a bargain, I have bought items for $1 and found the same in the grocery store for 15-30 cents less, most use a generic or off brand product, and as one person said they by up lots of discontinued product, I got Purple Heinz ketchup there once for my niece!. Most goods are cheaper because of the volume they buy and there is less mark up, even here in canada we have several chains of "Dollar" type stores, I have bought many a product from them as I like the size convenience they have, especially when it comes to sugar, spices, ramen noodle soups and jarred products, you have make the decision, if it does not look go then do not buy it, and if the are selling name brands, buy them over the generic ones!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
My answer to you is sometimes!. If you buy things at a dollar store keep in mind what the price is at other stores!.
For example, once I bought a click light at a dollar store (The one where you push on the dome and the light turns on) which probably would have costed around 10 dollars at a regular store!. Im paying 1/10 the price!. As I found out I got exactly what I was paying for, When I put the btateries in and tried the light it didn't turn on!.
If you tried to buy food atthe store make sure you don"t but anything that usually costs alot (Though I don"t know any dollar stores that sell food)!. If you bought a bag of chips it would probably be fine!. If you bought, say a steak it probably wouldn't be very good!.
Sometiems things will be defective, sometimes not!. It all depends on what your buying!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The food is just as SAFE as other stores, but I know when I bought food from a dollar store, I ended up throwing half of it out because it tasted nasty!. Some of it will taste fine, some of it will be definitely inferior quality!.
Sometimes it's worth it to pay a little extra!. And sometimes, it's not any cheaper at the dollar store!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Check your dates before purchasing always! Second when buying in the dollar store it is important to know where the product is shipped from!. Today that is a BIG FACTOR!. Not always getting a cheap deal pays!. Sometimes it pays to buy a brand we know!. I have been happy with a few products from the dollar store while others I would never buy again or ever have bought to begin with!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Anywhere that produces food for human consumption has to pass stringent health and safety requirements!. Prices are usually lower in dollar stores because you aren't paying the extra for fancy packaging or brand names!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Mostly, food is in dollar stores because it didn't sell well in regular stores, or because it's old style packaging etc!.
Just read the labels, check the use by dates and there should be no problems!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I suspect a lot of the canned goods are from overstocks or unknown brands!.
All foodstuffs are supposed to pass FDA requirements!. Sometimes things happen but most food at the dollar store should be OK!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
