Tools
Need to use some tools but you’re far away from home? You can go to the dollar store and pick up cheap tools you need. However, keep a good set at home. They’re definitely worth the extra money.
Batteries
The batteries you can find at the dollar store usually run out of juice pretty quickly thanks to their lower quality. One explanation for this is that they tend not to have modern formulations. They might even leak! It’s much safer to stick to your favorite brand name batteries.
