I used to go to the “99¢ Only” store and, let me tell you, everything doesn’t cost 99¢.

Frozen burritos did so I didn’t complain too much.

I once bought a pair of needle nose pliers at the dollar store (actually a dollar) back in the 90s. The first time I used them both the grips immediately bent under a small amount of force, which is actually so funny that I think I got my money's worth in the end.
