Why I Love Dollar Stores

Looking to save money? Head to the dollar store.

They have so much stuff, and it is all inexpensive. The quality is actually very good as well, these days.

Dollarama is my favourite dollar store. Not too long ago they raised some of the prices in their stores from $1 to $1.25, $1.50 and $2. I have never seen anything over $2.

Here are some of my favourite things from dollar stores:

Baskets: The best place to buy small baskets is the dollar store.

Pregnancy Tests – I know some people are weirded out by pregnancy tests from a dollar store, but – they work. And they’re only a dollar.

Kitchen Gadgets – Scrubbers, soap dispensers, dish drying rack. Lots of good quality items for under $2.

Stationary/School/Scrapbooking Supplies – They have so much of this stuff for less than $2 (usually around $1). The dollar store is the perfect place for a crafter.

Party Supplies – I won’t ever buy party supplies from anywhere but the dollar store (unless it’s cheaper, which is not likely).

Those are just a few of favourite things.
