This doesn't surprise me at all. A dollar is hardly good for anything anymore :/ Is the quality higher at least?

kikidoodle.bsky.social•28 days ago

Nope. Half of it is just... worse quality for the same stuff you can still find at a larger store(at least for now) I'd rather they raise all prices to like... $2 and focus on small quantities instead of being the same price as Walmart but worse quality.

I was just picking up a air tight food container at 5 Below for 12$ (because similar products were 19$+ other places)

I occasionally pick up things like velcro strips, small laundry baskets, gift bags, or non bulk crafting supplies here. Stuff that's been hard to find for under $5 at most big stores. But big stores at least give you larger quantities.

This is 100% because of Trump's tariffs, so I'm not surprised. I just hoped they'd wait like... a month before selling things for $5-10 😅

I was going to say its been the $3-$5 store for years in my experience (living in both california and florida) but uh, $5-$10 store is pretty bad ngl

kikidoodle.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yeah, like my favorite cheap store is Daiso and they start at like... $2.50 and always have much higher quality things so paying a BIT more is fine, but at $5-10 I'm like "why am I here?"

My roommate jokes whenever she drives past the Daiso that I am in there.

haruujin.bsky.social•28 days ago

SERIOUSLY TBH

The only thing I miss about moving states is Daiso 😭 some of their stuff is such good quality and so unique that I now import it directly from Japan 🫠

We have shops called poundland with the same premise that they sell things for £1. Not much is the last few years.
