i've been under the impression (don't know if someone t o l d me this or if i just dreamed it up!!) that dollar store merchandise was stuff that needed to be disposed of (for whatever reason-contaminated...irregular...expiration date?..)--but rather than trash the stuff,it was sold for pennies on the dollar--in huge lots--at auction...
and i've found contaminated stuff in the past and have vowed to steer clear of them---but "dollar store dolly"(as a former significant other used to call me!) continues to venture in there just to see if there might be s o m e t h i n g there that could save me a few shekels that looked reasonably s a f e....
so last week i found 24 razors for 1.99...(i go thru razors like they were going out of style!!..on my scalp..)
just on a whim i did a quick rinse in bleach water on them and each and every one came up with a rust spot in exactly the same spot.........now, i k n o w this was more than just rust...... can't p r o o v e it --but ......
so i returned them with no problem...
but i urge all to p l e a s e...p l e a s e....p l e a s e be extra careful with any purchases from those places.....i guess this is only an opinion...but i believe that those pennies or dollars
s a v e d could do more harm than they're w o r t h......had i not followed that whim i would have done more damage to an area that's taken years (literally!) to gain control over....and such a significant area--housing our brain and all of our senses....
thx for your patience with this winded narrative!!!!!and
