16. i used to go to the dollar

store when it was a real dollar store - a time when they resold good quality stuff from closeouts. now they sell smaller sizes and amounts of watered down crap and still charge a dollar. if you check the labels, most everything is from china or china via canada or mexico. it's all crap. not worth my dollar. the last time i was in a dollar store the horrendous toxic odor from all of the plastic (from china) was overwhelming. later learned china was being fined for exporting higher levels of toxics to the u.s.

reuse, recycle, buy local. and it's true, mountain granny, there is good quality used stuff at the 2nd hand store or for sale on local classified ads.
