    Lots of people got these because they had them in 2 packs at Costco dirt cheap. If I can help it I will never buy this brand again…

      Mobile phone

      Smoke detector

      Fire extinguisher

      18650 battery (and especially charger!)

      Extension cord

      Defibrillator

        I only buy used tires, they are dirt cheap! And look at all the car oil that looks brand new that someone thrown out. /s

        Being smart is not buying everything for the cheapest price, but knowing what you can cheap on.

        Some people have sadly no choice. But that’s a whole different problem.

      Overpaying for an Apple phone, then cheaping out on smoke detectors. Humanity is truly doomed.
