“Pick up a brand name better quality option for these kitchen items from Amazon or Walmart to save.” “For the same reason you want to avoid knives, you want to avoid cheaply made graters and slicers because they will be dull and not function to get your food prep done well,” Woroch said. You can usually find your basics for a decent price, but you can always level up (to an insane degree, even) by heading over to Williams Sonoma, where top-of-the-line knives easily go for over $500. Knives are one of those items that are almost always worth spending more on. “The knives available at the dollar store are blunt they can’t even cut through an apple without bending in half,” said Johan Liebert, shopping expert and CEO at DazzDeals. One way to save and still get quality is to buy oven mitts from HomeGoods or Marshalls where you get brand name items for up to 60% less.” Knives
“You won’t have as much protection from home hot surfaces or baking dishes when using cheaply made oven mitts, so spend more. “Prices on oven mitts are tempting at the dollar store, but this is one item you should skip because quality will be lacking and can prove to be dangerous,” Woroch said. Additionally, these pans are likely to stain really easily so if you care about the look of your bakeware, these may not be the best option.” Oven Mitts “They may not conduct heat well, which means you could end up with uneven browning on your baked foods, and depending on the quality of nonstick coating, you may end up having to do extra greasing when you don’t want to. “It’ll depend on what they’re made of, but you may want to skip bakeware at dollar stores,” Ramhold said. “The metal may not be sharp enough to cut your pizza, but again, if the plastic breaks, you’ll have to toss the whole tool.” Bakeware “The design of pizza cutters in general isn’t great and cheese and toppings can get stuck in certain parts, but purchasing from dollar stores means you’ll likely be buying one that’s plastic and metal,” Ramhold said. “They’re definitely affordable, but they’re usually a mix of metal and plastic, and there’s a good chance that the plastic parts can break, which means you’ll have to toss the whole thing anyway,” Ramhold said. Plus, timers these days are kind of redundant given that most people can do timers on their smartphones as well as employ smart assistants to keep track for them.” Vegetable Peelers “Sure, you can toss that one out and buy another, but over time that adds up.
“Specifically the digital timers, as the batteries may be hard to replace,” Ramhold said. Kitchen Items To Avoid Buying at the Dollar Store Timers “Here’s a 3-count plastic food storage container set from Walmart for $3.72 but you can find a similar option at Dollar Tree for just $1.25 at a savings of nearly $2.50,” Woroch said.
