Medication
We do not recommend getting meds at the dollar store. After all, you would rather be safe than sorry when it comes to your health. At discount stores, they might be unregulated and labeled incorrectly. There have been reports that multi-vitamins available at dollar stores do not really contain the number of nutrients that the label says it does.
Spices
Even though you will not find a huge selection of exotic spices over there, the dollar store will have basic ones like pepper, cinnamon, and parsley. A huge container will only set you back by a dollar! The only thing you have to look out for would be the expiration date.
