Dollar Store Fails: What not to buy at the dollar store

[EquestriaDJ]

I got a kidney transplant at the dollar store. It works just

[eilyntomassini]

I bought a universal remote for a $1 it worked perfect for me

[iilove2shop]

lol my mom hates glitter, any kind of them especially when it sticks on clothes, yeah i should get that pixie shimmer dust for her

[fortminorityrulez]

Also don't buy the universial remotes from a dollae store.

[dollarcraft]

@fortminorityrulez Yeah, that seems like a fail!! Thanks for the tip.

[hgib3]

@TheSoccergirly101 Mine has worked well, too! I've used it many times.

[soomgful]

@dollarcraft

that's were your wrong, dollar store glitter is more cheaper and nastier

[DeannaVlogs]

I got a tripod from there 2 1/2 years ago and it's still works great :\

[DeannaVlogs]

@DeannaVlogs btw, I use it like 2-3xs weekly

[dollarcraft]

@DeannaVlogs Oh, that's great! Maybe I should try again.

[dollarcraft]

@TheSoccergirly101 Maybe I just got a bad one!

[victoriaroseh]

@dollarcraft i believe you, got a whole lot of the same pumpking lanterns for halloween and 1/5 of them hadnt been made properly and i had to throw them, it was still a bargain with all the broken ones considering they normally cost $5 in a smaller size!

[BesameMucho28]

LOL definitely bought that tripod, mine held up for a little while. About the amount of time you'd expect a $1 tripod to hold up. If u are in a pinch and desperately need one to use until you can buy a better one, the dollar store tripod is ok. Otherwise, like u said, it's garbage!

[dollarcraft]

@BesameMucho28 I thought it would work for my little cam, but it didn't. Maybe I just got a lemon!

[SwiftyFan4Ever]

A lot of people bought that tripod haha lol

[dollarcraft]

@SwiftyFan4Ever I thought it would work, but mine just fell apart. That didn't stop me from buying a laptop stand that looks just like it, though!

[TokyoJazz]

damn y'all expect a lot from a dollar.

[dollarcraft]

@TokyoJazz Hahha, so true!!

[isavannahhicks]

lol theres a bendy tripod at the 99 cents store that works great

[dollarcraft]

@isavannahhicks Oh, I need to find that. For a buck, I would be willing to try a dollar store tripod again!

[MrDiyDork]

I actually bought one of these tripods back in 2008... and while it was a piece of crap... it's actually helped me make a decent amount money. I used it with my little Flip camera to record a tutorial, but it kept falling over... so I had to duct tape it to my table & tape the legs so they wouldn't collapse... and got it to work. haha That tutorial still sells today, and every time it does, I remember that poor lil cheap tripod taped to my table. lol

[Pinkrosen1]

what about the wii accesorioes?

[dollarcraft]

@Pinkrosen1 Oh yeah, those look like fails! :)

[trinketbox1]

There is no way you could show everything "not to buy" at the dollar store in 48 seconds. I believe YouTube has a limit on timed videos.

[dollarcraft]

@trinketbox1 Ha ha, good point. I'll have to make a few more videos. :) These are the things I caught on tape in one visit.

[JenniferCarrassco]

I also bought the tripod and I still have it. Its been like 1 1/2. Works great for me.

[dollarcraft]

RE: the tripod: I only used it with my tiny videocam (a Kodak zi6 - comparable to a Flip), so I really thought it would work. I've had a small tripod like this in the past, but it was like $5, so it must have just been a little higher quality.

My sons like playing with the tripod legs now, though! :)

[voguevania]

I bought one of those tripods about a year and a half ago and I love it!  Thanks for your delightful cheapie crafts. I haven't made any, yet, but looking at all the ideas makes me so happy!

[GirlsABoyes]

I am shocked about the tripod! It's the only one I've ever owned, and I love it! I mean, I know it's not fancy, but it gets the job done!
