Yep, their business model is basically to sell smaller packages for a low upfront price, taking advantage of customers that either don’t have the money to buy the big package or have limited transport options.
It’s another one of those things that illustrate that it’s expensive to be poor.
Imo, it’s absolutely fantastic for things like cards and gift bags.
People only look at a card for like 30 seconds and then forget about it. It makes more sense to get one at 1/6 of the price of a regular one. Same thing with gift bags.
For most other things, everything in it is shit. But it has its niche cases where it’s superior like that.
There’s a guy that lives next to me that’s gonna retire at 50 because of his frugality lol. He owns two cars and a house- One car was inherited from his father. He works as some sort of banker and has the cash to live in a much nicer area, but lives in a 180k dollar house in a low CoL area and will be rewarded for it lol
I’m not sure if it’s the case here but all the stories I’ve read about people who retire early seem to have a “boring” life style to me.
I love the house we bought, I love going on vacations, buying toys, etc. Sure, I’ll have to work until I’m 65 but I think it’s important to not save EVERY dime and treat yourself. I don’t know when I’ll die so I want to have fun while I can.
As a frugal person, I rarely shop at the dollar store because the shit there is so low-quality it’s a poor value even at that price.

Don’t even buy cards, waste of money. Blank paper, draw some terrible picture related to the thing, fold it and use that.
It’s custom, much cheaper, people laugh at your crappy art and everyone’s happy, if not happier then some hallmark junk
This…people tell me to go there all the time but I refuse u less I want junk food or something I know I will throw away after a use or two.
You will always spend more in the end if you shop there
Frugal only counts if you’re poor. Otherwise it’s just being cheap.
