7. Hair Accessories and Elastics
Anyone with long hair understands the mysterious phenomenon of disappearing hair ties and bobby pins. You buy a fresh pack, and within a month, they have vanished completely. Major retailers package basic hair elastics and plastic claw clips as premium beauty accessories, charging premium prices. Dollar Tree provides enormous quantities of snag-free elastics, colorful scrunchies, and sturdy bobby pins. Since these items inevitably stretch out, break, or disappear under the passenger seat of your car, investing heavy capital into supercenter brands represents a completely avoidable waste of your discretionary income.
