A little too cheap

Posted: April 02, 2003

I AM WRITING to warn all people, especially parents, to be very careful when shopping in those everything-for-a-dollar bargain stores.

Those stores do have some very good things for a dollar, but they also sell things like cereal, which can be outdated. I bought some oatmeal at a dollar store downtown the other day, and the minute I tasted a packet of it, I knew it was way way outdated and should never have been sold.

Luckily for me, I did not get sick from this bad-tasting cereal, though I did get a little ill recently on a can of tuna fish I purchased in a dollar store that is now out of business.
