Walked here to check out snacks/food what offerings the store had. The store is underground? You enter at the street level and take an escalator or stairs down to enter the store. The area is very dirty and not well maintained. Once in the store the shelves are very high and narrow. It is a very overwhelming feeling if you are sensitive to small spaces/claustrophobic. The amount of items in there is very overwhelming as well. I didn't stay long and mostly stuck to the snacks and candy. They have a large area near the check out that has candy, gum etc. Purchased an aero bar, coffee crisp, kit kit and toffee candy bar. For 4 candy bars (I either didn't get a receipt, didn't take it or lost it but it was $4.07 USD. There were 3 self check outs and one staff there to check out as well. Saw employees in aisles but only one at registers. Overall it was an underwhelming and overwhelming experience and I would not go out of my way to go back if in the area. read more

It's the Dollar Tree of Canada! Loved going through the snack/food aisle to see things that we don't have in the states. The candy bar section felt like being in Cost Plus World Market! We have loaves of Wonder Bread in our supermarket aisles, but this was the first time seeing Wonder Wraps, which I'm assuming are similar to flour tortillas. We got a couple of bags of Doritos (Ketchup and a Cheese flavor not available in the U.S.) and we wish that we had gotten a few more!! Cool store, cheap stuff! ALOHA!!! SHAKA METER: \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ 4 read more

We love dollar stores! Because we don't have any at home (Honolulu), we always enjoying checking them out when we travel. Apparently, Dollarama is the Canadian equivalent of Dollar Tree or Dollar General in the US. Same concept though - a variety of items between $1 and $3. Dollar stores are a great place to find drinks, snacks, trinkets, knickknacks, housewares, toys, stationary items, etc. We visited in November, so we found warm gloves and socks for our girls. We've also found dollar stores to be a great place to pick up gifts/souvenirs. While here, we stocked up on Canadian chocolates - Wunderbar, Mr. Big, Bounty, etc. - to take home to friends. Unfortunately, there were no Canadian souvenirs. On our last trip to Vancouver, the Dollarama we visited (in Chinatown I believe) had maple leaf adorned beanies, gloves, socks, stickers, shopping bags, key chains, etc. We were only able to find a couple Canadian flag luggage tags at this location :-( The current favorable exchange rate (US dollar to Canadian dollar), makes the discounts here even more advantageous. And who doesn't like saving money? read more

Came here to pick up some cleaning supplies. This Dollarama is awesome. It has basically everything that I need from cleaning supplies to party supplies. Location is convenient. It is busy all the time with a long line up of people. read more

The store and the prices are fine, but they hire people that really shouldn't be working in stores. At the downtown location, one cashier is clearly trying to skim a few dollars off customers by purposefully shortchaning people and lying through her teeth if challenged about it. It's not a bad scam; skim a dollar here and a couple of dollars there and most people won't make too big of a deal out of it and you'll have a few bucks at the end of the day; it's on management to make sure that scammers like this woman don't work there. By the way, this is not the issue mentioned by others. My receipt reflected the prices on the shelf - the woman is just a thief. Count your change carfully before you put the money away if you pay in cash at this location. read more

They should not allow people to enter with a backpack for loss prevention and safety. This destroys the purpose of having a security guard. We got hit by the backpack of a person when she turned around and we were behind her. The price tags on the shelf were not the same as the price in their computer system. Beware. read more

A lot of things you find from convenience stores you can find drastically cheaper at Dollarama. Even the brand name stuff. Sort of like treasure hunting here. This Dollarama has a massive selection of everything...lots of plastic, lots of toxic Bisphenol-A and other carcinogens..You get what you pay for. Things I found interesting from Dollarama; -$3 Speakers: $3....really? Fire hazard... -$1 pregnancy tests -$1 canned food -$2 1000ml shampoos and conditioners -$1 dog chew toys. I picked one up and they smell like plastic. Wouldn't be safe. -$3 Nicole by OPI nail polishes -$1 birthday cards and wrapping paper Still get 4 stars because it is a cheap and cheerful chain. read more

I've come here a few times and found a variety of things at pretty decent prices. Today I came in looking for some containers and they were priced at $1.25 as per the label. However at the till they rang in as $2. I brought that to the attention to the cashier and I was still charged $2. I could have stood there and argued that if the store advertises a specific price that they should honour it. But I was hangry and just wanted to leave. So buyer beware... They price you see is not what you pay sometimes. read more

Almost everything for $1.25 in one store. Today my co-worker and I were on the hunt for touques and mittins. We found a set of red and a set of white with maple leafs, - very Canadian. They were perfect to bring back to her grandparents in France. I found some cute wrapping paper and gift tags for Christmas. If you want some cheapy items especially for holiday specific themes. (Halloween during October, Easter during March or April, Christmas during December and etc...) Take a look here. read more

For a dollar store, this place rocks! Located in a bustling neighborhood shopping area in North Van, this Dollarama is worth a fit. For the moms looking to put a kids party together, for the kids looking to spend their allowance and for the meander-ers looking to pick up a few nick-naks, this is a great dollar store to peruse. It's relatively big, clean and offers a good bang for your buck! read more

Dollarama - Nicole by OPI, textured collection, $3 - Discount Store Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

You never get out of here for under 40 dollars- or at least i don't. But for candles, kitchen utensils, battery's, cleaning products and other household items it really cannot be beat. read more

Pros: - Lots of items in stock - Cheap - A few items are actually popular name brands Cons: - Many items break easily - Many toys may contain lead - Many gloves are made from Latex or other possible things people might have a nasty reaction to - Most prices are $1.25 to $2.50 now before tax. Bottom line, if you been to a popular dollar store in Vancouver, e.g. Dollar Giant or Canadian Dollar Store, or Dollarama stores such as this, you've been to them all. And none of them sell items for a $1 anymore except for some exceptions like a few kinds of food or anything that was stated otherwise. But otherwise, still a relatively good place to go if you know for a fact that what you are getting is really worth the deal. read more

Two stars because of their staff at the Seymour location. When dealing with a customer service issue, staff should speak English, especially when you can tell they're being rude in their language. I am not by any means saying they can't speak their language(I speak four languages), but it is not professional to speak in a language the customer you are dealing with cannot understand. Also would recommend the 'manager' doesn't dress in clothing that look like pjs. Manager wasn't polite or helpful at all. I get it's the dollar store, but get it together, and be professional. read more

I'll buy that for a dollar! Oh yes you will! This is one of biggest and busiest dollar stores I've ever seen, and understandably so, everything is actually a DOLLAR! It's not one of those dollar stores where everything starts at a dollar and they have shit for like $6.99, this shit is real son! Too bad they only had two cashiers working so the lineup trailed all the way into the candy isle... although part of me thinks they did this on purpose. Waiting in line next to those fuzzy peaches, and cherry blasters is cruel! My inner child is crying! I am having a tiki themed party this weekend so I cruised the store looking for tacky Hawaiian shizzle to decorate and celebrate with, I found some lays, a grass skirt, and some plastic shot glasses, and a mini-torch so I can be like an olympic athlete and carry the flame around my backyard drunk whilest doing a voodoo dance in a coconut bra, promising everyone I am sober enough not to burn the house down. If you hear fire sirens tonight, you'll know why. read more

I live in Maple Ridge and we have two Dollarama stores in this town. I don't understand why these stores are considered essential and allowed to remain open during a pandemic. In neither store can you physically distance. I went to the first one last week. The cashiers are so close that to physically distance from one, you have to break physical distancing with the other. Exiting the store requires more pandemic rule breaking. There was almost nothing in the store notifying customers to stay apart, so I was also crowded by the family group behind me in line. At the second store the cashier situation was better, but they had a "greeter" at the door who was not wearing any protection. It was IMPOSSIBLE to stay two meters away from this person. She was opening the door for customers and to get past her you were forced to be about two feet from her. The aisles in both stores are far too narrow to do proper physical distancing and the shoddy directional arrows were being ignored by most customers. Is Dollarama where the second wave will begin? I wouldn't be surprised. Disgusting. Never ever going there again, read more

There are so many treasures in this store! I loaded up for my Halloween party and I think I only spent about $40! With any dollar store you aren't going there because you want the single best quality item you can find. This place will give you the goods, cheap, and for decent quality - better than some other dollar stores I've been to! The staff keep pretty much to themselves, but I did strike up a nice conversation at checkout once. Good for all your basic, dollar-licious needs! read more

I effing LOVE dollar stores and now that Dollarama is king in the city I love them even more because of the extremely random and plentiful selection they offer! You have a messy weekend with Mr. Tequila and need a cheap toilet brush? they have tons! You feeling depressed and want a jar of icing to drown your sorrows? THEY HAVE MANY FLAVORS! Think you might be pregnant and need to be sure before calling Maury ...and only have $1.25 in your pocket? THEY HAVE PREGNANCY TESTS! Man, this place rocks. read more

Get it straight Dollarama, it's really a dollar twenty five. Essentials like windex, crappy crafty supplies, aluminum foil, and toys made by tiny hands in a third world country can be found here. But when I need a disposable kitchen gadget, Dollarama has my back. I'm guilty. You probably are, too. What I won't buy is food. I will not buy food at Dollarama. Not even fuzzy peaches (that's food, right?). read more

I stopped here to grab tinfoil and it sucked! First of all, I slipped on a big pile of spilled dry pasta, managed to catch my balance and get what I needed. The worst was the checkout. There was a guy at one of the tills, ranting and raving, stumbling around while he threw his change on the counter and asked everyone in line - and the cashiers - for money because he didn't have enough to buy his candles. He got madder and madder, calling a customer the N-word and swearing, all while holding up one of the three tills. Where was the security guard? Oh, right, he was standing there uselessly, off to the side of the tills, as if he was watching an art performance. I grabbed my change and left, feeling uneasy and sorry for the girls at the tills. Note to Dollarama: hire a security guard who will actually make customers feel secure. read more

NO REFUNDS, NO RETURNS!! I checked my receipt and found merchandise that wasn't the same price as other items in the same shelf and they didn't want to refund my purchase. I'm in a wheelchair and had to refuse to move before they got the message and refunded my money. I've run into this before when Dollarama raised the price of a phone charger...and charged me $1.00 MORE than was marked on the package. Dollarama is a predatory corporation...not a franchise, and their motivation is PROFIT. Check your receipt BEFORE you pay, folks! read more

If you've been to one Dollarama, then you have been to them all... The two best things about this location is that it is in the downtown area for some quick and cheap pick ups of whatever you need and that it is quite large compared to some of the other Dollaramas I've seen. And as always, Have Fun!!! read more

While I do shamefully love this place, I can't help but feel that I am supporting child labour, poor work environments and below minimum wages in other countries by shopping at Dollarama. Plus I don't trust that the products don't have some toxic chemical or cheap plastic that is going to end up killing me. Sometimes even the store itself felt like a sweat shop - crack a window!! And no washrooms. But who can deny Reeces in BAR form for $1. Amazing. Try one if they are in stock next time you visit. read more

Very understated signage, but even with that, there were no shortage of customers inside. It is a great place to visit on a day off just to kill time, to see what make this Dollarama different from Dollar Tree's and Dollar Giant's. I have found the few things that make this location a stand out. 1) baby onesies 2) baby poo bag dispensers (I kid you not, I have proof locked and loaded on my cell) 3) box of Amourex condoms (box of 12 and all) 3) instead of Skippy peanut butter, you have Dippy peanut butter mind you they have all this AND pregnancy tests, ovulation tests, q-tips and cotton swabs ALL within a small meter of shelving. I was more into admiring the Coca Cola glasses they had, one of the two they had available felt uber durable, but too heavy for realistic daily usage. read more

The best dollar store chain in North America! Thank god Vancouver's got one in downtown across from the Bay / la Baie. They do seem to have a surplus of plastic pitchers for bagged milk, which isn't sold in this province. read more

Dollarama - Dollarama Downtown Vancouver - Discount Store Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This is the best dollar store I've found in Vancouver. It's HUGE! The selection is great and their seasonal choices always get me what I need. I'm making a costume for someone and we got 7 black feather boas for $2 each! I got a velvety black top hat for $2. You can't beat that price! At Christmas we got a candycane cane for our Santacon outfits for $2. I got decorations for my hat. Candy to give out. SO MUCH STUFF that you'll probably wreck or lose anyway. Let's face it, going out on Halloween or to Santacon never really includes classy composure so losing or wrecking shit is inevitable. I've never really gone there for stuff that wasn't seasonal but I can't imagine what you'd need from a dollar store that they wouldn't have. read more

This place has everything. Before going somewhere to buy more expensive stuff, I come here and check if I can find something decent for cheaper:) read more

Pick an item...In my case it was just two or three wine glasses. Now in most places, one would expect to find a set of six boxed up glass glasses, with 3mm rims and an obvious appearance of a " discount," item...right? Well here - I found in no time....1mm rim wine glasses, that on first glance looked a million bucks worth and proved upon use to be well balanced, washable and rather impressive. I've always since savored these glasses [ as well as their content ! ] DON'T EVER be fooled by these $ shops - Don't be shy - TRY them out and see for Yourself. read more

I checked my receipt and found that the employee charged at the begining of the receipt once ítem I'm not buying and Also wasn't in the bag. This happend to me in Dollarama al Lansdowne Mall. read more

While this Dollarama is no longer a "true" dollar store most items are still $2.25 or less, still a pretty damn good deal in my books. They have all the dollar store staples, cheap kitchen wares, vases, office supplies, party supplies and my favorite section of all cheap children's toys...they are just fun to play with and feel like a kid again, although i will admit I usually do not purchase them. It's the most reliable dollar store downtown if you are looking for typical dollar store items, compared to other dollar stores it is also impeccably organized. read more

I study in this building so I always go here. This shop located in a great location, so there are many customers go here for shopping every day, stuffs here are cheaper than any other shop, servers here are also friendly, and I can see they have very professional training, because they can always answer my questions suck as "where is the xxx? how can I use it?do you have some discount for this stuff?" In a word, this shop is worth coming! read more

This place has one of the most random stuff I have ever come across. Bought a sally Hanson metallic nail polish for only $2! It's a steal. They have lots of Halloween and party stuff at a steal price too ... I can never resist going in for even 10 min whenever I walk pass. read more

Things I love about dollarama: there are lots of things that are handy and I don't want to pay much for - some kitchen items, crafting things and toys for my little boy. Things I don't love about dollarama: plenty of things aren't a dollar, the staff are super surly and not helpful at all, there are always plenty of people waiting at the checkout and not enough staff to check them out, they don't accept credit cards and they want remind everyone each time they arrive at the checkout. So really, I love their stuff, but I don't love them. The staff behaving like they are trapped in the zombie apocalypse makes me enjoy it a lot less. read more

Just love dollarama. Excellent value with tons of products to find what you're searching for. Found bathroom products, inexpensive bevies and treats and more! read more

Dollarama has a great selection of all kinds of products, from name-brand foods to home goods. I found a few things I wanted, however, I was disappointed that they didn't have the one basic personal care item that I came into the store looking for. Frustrated, I went to pay for my other items, and was surprised to find that one item in the "impulse aisle" in the queue leading up to the checkout - definitely not an impulse item. If I hadn't decided to buy those few other things, I would have left the store thinking that they didn't have that one thing they needed. My takeaway is, the layout of products should be reconsidered to make it easier to find what customers are looking for! read more

great store! I actually found some items currently being sold in the grocery store IN Dollarama for a much cheaper price! items are organized and easy to find! read more

You know those travel bottles London Drugs sells for $5.00+? Well you can get them here in all shapes and sizes for $1.00. You know the travel toothbrush holder that sells for $2-3 or more? Well here you can buy it for $0.50! If you're only going to use the products once, why pay more? I've seen some people buying shampoo, toothpaste, candies, make-up and the like but I wouldn't trust a dollar store, any dollar store.. read more

Spent about $40 on Christmas decorations. The most expensive items were 2 sets of multicoloured lights $3 each. Got home to find they didn't work. Wouldn't light up, completely useless. Took them back less than 48 hours later with original packaging and my receipt. I stood in line for 10 mins to explain that they were purchased broken. Staff was unsympathetic and unapologetic. They refused to exchange them for a pair of functioning lights. What a waste of money and time. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Other locations have better staff and are more understanding. read more

I go to this Dollarama,and at least 3 other locations,at least weekly.I buy pet supplies,nail polish,cleaning supplies,holiday stuff,and some food products.I like the smaller sizes that they make just for this store,like Lysol spray,Goo Gone,Tomato Paste,and dish and laundry products. read more

Dollarama rocks! I love shopping here. It gives me so much satisfaction. Everything is cheap. It's no longer everything for $1 - lots of things are up to $2 - but it's still great. Some of my best purchases include martini glasses, kitchen jars (the kind for holding flour etc. that you can get at ikea for $6+), craft supplies, garden supplies (pots, planters, seeds, potting soil), kitchen utensils, and of course candy & drinks. Staff here are great - they're helpful, friendly, and efficient. The only thing I have to complain about is that it closes pretty early, especially on the weekend. But hey, that definitely keeps costs down do it's a good trade-off! read more
