This was the first Dollarama that I went to years ago before all the Dollar stores were popping up…read moreand everything was a dollar back then. Now you can find a Dollar store in most malls or by the big box stores. I was in Westmount and decided to check out their birthday decoration selection. Although they did have some decorations, they didn't have anything specific for milestone birthdays. It was more of the generic standard streamers or birthday banner, candles, and napkins and plates. I browsed the other aisles and they do have a large selection of items for the home, holidays, and just about anything else you want to spend a dollar or two on. Seems pretty busy too but I didn't find anything I wanted for a dollar.

They were really busy (the saleslady claimed they weren't but there were about 12 people in line). It took awhile for them to get someone else up at the till to help with the huge line up and when someone id come to help, they didn't make a great transition. Instead of telling the next person in line to go over to the new till, they let it be a free-for-all so everyone rushed over to the newly opened till. It was really disorganized. This Dollarama has a good selection though. It's pretty big and they have a lot of good stuff. The staff brings their rating down significantly though.

There was active wear, work clothes, and casual clothes in various bright colours and sizes. They had some items on sale in the middle of the aisle. I noticed a kids' clothing section as well. The household items section is small but I did notice items such as an air fryer, curtains, seasonal items such as BBQ utensils, and other knick knacks you may need for home. The food section is a bit cramped but you can find most of the basics and some decent sales too. The regular prices aren't cheap compared to other discount stores and there is not much for produce. The staff aren't friendly or seem happy to be working there but at least it was efficient when I went to pay.

Then you might as well spit in the customer's face on top of that by adding a combo self group laughter. Sure any standard run of the mill person might see it a different way with there overly P.C Brain, but not to myself I know how normal people should act and how things were before our country got sardined by immigrants from east India, Philippines and etc. But I'm getting slightly off topic. Anyone who says otherwise is either them or people younger than myself brain washed and stupefied by the Me too, BLM, LGBQ, New Native Holiday, the term woke users movements etc.

I started going here about 12 years ago when I moved into Old Strathcona. Back then, I found this…read morestore to be dingy and disorganized. I could not stand the long lines at the registers, so I quit going. Yesterday, curiosity got the better of me. I noticed they spruced things up a bit and I wanted to see for myself. I asked a staff member if I needed a membership because it had been so long since my last visit, I wasn't sure if things had changed in that area. Happily, I didn't need one and I just picked up a couple of things. Produce mostly. I was pretty happy with what I saw, but they still try to hock their near-expired meats and veg on certain racks. It looks disgusting. Overall, it sure is a lot cleaner and brighter inside. At 3:30 pm, I did not have to wait long to pay. I think I'll be back in the very near future.

Superstore Warehouse requires no memberships to come in and purchase . There is no one there…read moreverifying receipts when you walk out either. The store has a variety of cooking / baking and kitchen needs. From home cooking to restaurant / buffet equipment ( I even noticed they sell hot dog machines !! ) . The meat / deli bulk fridge is well stocked as well. I usually buy the bigger cuts of beef and pork because during the time I spent at home I learned how to cut them into meal portions ( thanks YouTube ). I actually save quite a bit of money when I buy in bulk. The freezer section has a lot of different products - not just your normal frozen chicken / beef. The seafood area is also well stocked with a lot of choices. Sadly Edmonton does not really have a fresh fish market. Lots of frozen pies and cakes as well. One thing I also like here is the wide selection of spices and dried goods . I use a lot of spices when I am cooking . Spice is the variety of life isnt it? There is also a wide variety of drink crystals, syrups and other choices. Once i have loaded up, off to the tills. Due to covid, you have to stand at a spot on the floor and wait your turn but the wait is never too long. While you wait they tease you with racks of candy and snacks.. tempting though. The one thing I like is bagging my own groceries. It always amazes me how much I can actually put into one plastic bag vs staff who pretty much insist on using far too many bags. I dont really care the loaf of bread is sitting on top of a carton of eggs. A few bags later, I am stocked up for awhile and dont have to go back to get more every second week or so. I love how the staff there wear t-shirts that say " be kind ". How sad we have to tell people to behave themselves.. but then again there are some that just feel better yelling at staff . Good store if you want to stock up for a long time.. worth going just before winter so you dont have to go out in minus 40. Yea there are things that are slightly more expensive than other stores but the idea is to buy in bulk and stock up. Definitely worth going for your bulk needs without having to buy a membership.

I'm trying my best not to forget about Everything for a Dollar Store, or EFADS. Sometimes I feel…read morelike the evil Dollarama is stealing business away from them. I'm almost sure that they do, but luckily there is no Dollarama in sight at Northgate Centre! Today I was at EFADS, and I did a double take when I saw Scharffen Berger chocolate here. I'm a chocolate fanatic, but even I refused to try this brand, because it's so incredibly expensive. But luckily, I was finally able to try this chocolate, because EFADS had the 5g pieces of the 70% dark chocolate on for ten for a dollar!!! So I bought ten, and I ate almost all of them, because they were so good. Then I wondered why I only bought ten. This was an incredible deal, and I will have to go back tomorrow to get more! But EFADS is great for other stuff too. I get Panasonic AA batteries here that work great. I also love the round brush I got here that I use to straighten my hair with a blow dryer. Also, the greeting cards here pretty good. So next time you're at Dollarama, remember to feel guilty and give Everything for a Dollar Store some love too.

Great for fans of Disney, Scooby Doo, and super heroes! You can also get a foil balloon with helium for $1.25! Wow, that sounds like a great deal to me and you can call to order in advance. The selection is primarily for kids, and unfortunately no Dora but Minnie would do. The items I got were $1.25 and a chocolate bar for 79 cents. There was no line up and the cashier was friendly! Also, it was clean and pretty organized. Definitely a dollar store to shop at again!

I find that compared to certain other dollar stores, this one has actually fairly nice stuff. I bought some plastic dinosaurs there to be used as wedding decorations, and they're actually fairly realistic and stand nicely. Their craft section is a bit small (which is expected given that they're not a dedicated craft store) but they have a fair bit of stuff, and it's easily comparable to what you'd find at places like Michael's. I was impressed by that :) They also have some rather nice stationery & cards. Also, they do bulk orders as well, which is pretty cool (I didn't end up needing to do this cos it turns out they actually had 20+ bags of craft moss on hand, but I did call to ask in advance & they do it for people). So yep, Dollar Tree is definitely my favourite dollar store :)
