Don't be greedy for cheap items at one price stores.

One-price stores abroad usually charge 1 USD per item, while in Vietnam they are only 10,000-20,000 VND, always having a special 'magic' to attract.

Food containers

You should buy BPA-free canned foods. BPA-containing plastics disrupt the nervous system, affect reproductive function, and over time can cause brain damage and other diseases. With the very low prices at one-price stores today, it is very difficult to find a BPA-free plastic item. If there is, it is just advertising.

Plastic cookware

Similarly, plastic cookware such as ladles, spoons, shovels, etc., if purchased at cheap one-price stores, most contain bromine (a flame retardant), which is harmful to your health in the long run. Instead of buying from these one-price stores, save a little more money to buy good quality items to protect your health.

Toy

This is one of the items you absolutely should not buy cheaply for the safety of your children's health. A doll or a superhero model at a one-stop shop costs less than 20,000 VND but can make a child very happy. However, the risk of poisoning from these items is very high because they are often made of unsafe plastic materials (mainly from China). Especially with children under 3 years old, parents need to be more careful because they can easily put them in their mouths to chew or bite.

Electrical appliances

When you go to a one-price store, it's best to skip the electrical appliances, advises Andrea Woroch, an American consumer expert. "Most of the electrical appliances here break down quickly, not to mention are unsafe," he says. In fact, the cables or phone chargers at many one-price stores today are very cheap, only a few tens of thousands of dong, with many eye-catching designs, but in reality they break down quickly and can even cause your phone battery to wear out faster.

Food slicer

Knives are great assistants when cooking, but they will drive you crazy if they are only beautiful, shiny but dull or have an unreasonable design that can easily cut your hand. In stores selling household appliances for a few tens of thousands of dong, it is very easy to find such knives. You should invest in buying a close "assistant" for yourself.

Battery

Good batteries are quite expensive. On the contrary, cheap batteries can leak and explode at any time, endangering you and your loved ones, so you should absolutely not buy them.

School supplies

Entering the new school year, parents are having a headache with the list of stationery as well as the expenses to worry about. However, many wise parents advise you to wait for "sales" at large stores specializing in selling good quality school supplies rather than rushing to choose pencils at one-price stores that only cost 10,000 VND but will break very quickly.

Animal feed

If you truly love your dog or cat, you should never think of going to a one-price store to buy food for them. Feeding your pet cheap, poor quality food means you are turning them into sick animals.
