One possibly surprising product you shouldn't buy at Dollar General is liquid laundry detergent. "Skip liquid detergents unless there is an expiration date," warned Brent Shelton, an online shopping expert for fatwallet.com (via Reader's Digest). "Liquid detergents tend to lose their efficacy over time, so if the product has been on the shelf for over a year, it won't be as effective."
If the bottle happens to have an expiration date listed, then you should check it to ensure that the date is far enough out that your household would probably use the entire bottle before it expires. According to The Spruce, you should try to use the whole bottle within six months of opening it.
As for powdered laundry detergent, it is likely safe to buy at Dollar General. Powdered laundry cleaner doesn't expire or lose effectiveness unless it's exposed to water, which probably wouldn't happen under normal circumstances at the discount retailer. Still, if you're unsure of an item at Dollar General, it's probably best to skip it.
