Dollarama

As a teacher this is where I go to get little rewards for my students. It doesn’t cost a lot and they love the stuff I get them.

This is by far my favourite Dollarama in E-​Town.
I mean, where else can you buy a set of AA batteries, bobby pins, a decorative candle dish, a pair of socks and gloves for $ 5?
This everything-​in-​one-​place-​store has it all, and for super cheap. Yes, the quality suffers, but if you are smart about what you are buying here, you can save a lot of money.
I am scared to admit it, but I actually like a lot of their décor stuff. They have some pretty nice bowls, plates, candle holders etc.
One time, my boyfriend and I were in a pinch. We had a group of people coming over and we were making chocolate mousse for dessert, but we had nothing nice to serve it in. So we stopped by Dollarama and found adorable little bowls, perfect for single serving mousse.
I go here probably at least once a week to pick up random little things. After all, this is the place to get it all.

Dollarama is fast becoming my favourite dollar store chain. This is one of the newest locations in the city at South Edmonton Common and is as huge as a department store. There are entire aisles for toys, candy, housewares, knick knacks, and just about everything. Lately, the store has expanded its line of merchandise to include items of more than a dollar, but the selection has also improved and includes actual brand names.
