There’s no denying that Michigan’s gas stations are an extremely convenient option. I mean, you have to stop there anyway to fill up your tank, so why not run in and grab a few essentials while you're at it? Well, not everything on those shelves is a good buy. Some items are overpriced, low-quality, or just straight-up bad for you.

How many times have you walked into a gas station to simply pay for your gas, and you end up walking out with a bunch of stuff you really didn't need? I think we’re all guilty of that.

From time to time, we grab things without thinking like a snack or a drink, but some of those impulse buys are way overpriced, low quality, or just not worth it. It’s easy to get caught up in the convenience, but it’s good to know which items you should just skip.

I don’t think I need to tell you that buying sushi, hard-boiled eggs (I learned that the hard way), and those weird meat sticks that have been sitting under a heat lamp for hours is a bad idea. I think you’re well aware of the obvious items you should avoid at Michigan gas stations.

But I totally get it, people love their sodas, energy drinks, candy, chips, and other unhealthy stuff. Hey, I’m not judging. I give in to my temptations from time to time as well. Let’s just focus on the items you really shouldn’t spend your money on.
