A unique blend of a Japanese exhibit at a museum and expensive Ikea! Probably the most stunning furniture store that I've stepped foot in.

​Dollar Tree is the undisputed champion of extreme value retail. While the pricing has shifted…read more(most items are now $1.25 to 1.75 and some stores feature higher price points), the thrill of the hunt for budget essentials remains its primary draw. ​It's the perfect store for party supplies, holiday decor, greeting cards, and basic craft materials--items where quality doesn't need to be premium, but value is everything. You can stock up on small household items and basic snacks for less than anywhere else. ​Be prepared for potentially cluttered aisles and inconsistent stock, as these are the trade-offs for the incredible prices. However, if you shop strategically, Dollar Tree is indispensable for stretching your budget.

I'm giving this store a solid 3.5 stars. I'm also rounding up…read more On the weekend, I went grocery shopping. I have a cute penguin shopping bag. It looks like a small stuffed penguin until you unstuff it to use the bag. My penguin bag has a plastic clip that I attach to my purse. It broke. What to do? I thought that getting a carabiner clip would fix my minor dilemma. I needed a place to get an inexpensive one. On my way home from work, I remembered that there was a Dollar Tree. I pulled in and parked. The parking lots along this stretch of Kipling Avenue are interesting. There are plenty of long cement islands, so it gives you the feeling of weaving through an obstacle course. I parked. I was trying to check in on Yelp. I didn't see this business, so I created one. There was a car parked directly across from me, blinding me with its headlights. Once I was done creating this business and checking in on Yelp, I looked at this mini van and it had moved up next to my car. Odd. Anyway, I walked in. It's a bright, cheerful store. There were lots of Valentine's Day chocolates and cards. Cool. Glad it wasn't Easter stuff! I first saw a carabiner on a pocket flashlight. Part of me thought about getting it and dismantling the clip for my penguin bag. However, I didn't need a flashlight, so I put that away. Carabiners are located in the hardware section. I got a pack of two. Yay! The claim is that every item is $1.25. My pack of carabiners was that price. I also picked up to small snack packs of Combos. I love pretzels and cheese. Each one was $1.25. I had to wait a little bit for the cashier to come over. He was competent. You can pay by debit or cash. I paid with the latter. I'm glad that I stopped by. I found what I needed and my penguin shopping bag is securely on my purse strap again. (44)

It's not the greatest of locations, but it does have all the items you'd come to expect. Right now I go straight for the Star Wars hot wheels that are less than half the price they are anywhere else.

That being said, this Dollarama has staff who are helpful and generally friendly. The store is very well organized and clean, and the prices are great. I found some $2 pots that were basically identical to what Home Depot was selling for $9. When you come here, remember that Dollarama only takes cash or debit. Parking is street parking only, but there is (at present) no charge for street parking on Sundays or after 6 pm.

My best friend suggested that we visit The Bargain! Shop in downtown Oshawa. I was game. I frankly don't remember ever stepping into this chain anywhere. It's street parking in the downtown area. It was a Saturday, so parking was free. I got there first. I waited for my friend to park and then we headed over here. The Bargain! Shop originally gave me Bargain Harold's vibes when I was outside the store. Those vibes stopped when I walked into the store. It had a lot of knockoff merchandise. Adidas. John Deer. Bench. Clothing was branded with these names. Yet, the quality wasn't there. I looked at a pair of Adidas pants that were so thin that it was borderline horrifying. I also didn't find everything in this store to be a bargain. Squishmallows were more expensive than getting them at Shoppers Drug Mart, which surprised me. There were ICEE drinks. My friend said that they were much cheaper at No Frills. It really depends on what you are looking for, though. A bunch of Tootie Pops were going for $1.69. That's decent. This store sold my Dare Ultimate cookies that I love. It had the ice cream-inspired (that is, mint chocolate chip) flavour that you typically don't see at a discount store. The fudge was there, which was typical. I convinced my best friend to try the former because I kept raving about how I love this line of cookies. What is special about this store is that it sells elastic that you use for pants. I was trying to find some to fix my pyjama shorts. Oddly, Fabricland didn't carry this type of elastic. This store did. I was elated! Whenever we hang out, there's always someone who asks us for help to locate something. I remember us distinctly standing and chatting on Queen Street East in the Beaches, and a person asked us for directions. We were in the food aisle (not really a surprise... haha) and an older man in a motorized scooter asked us where the marshmallows were. We were looking at cookies, so we didn't know. He scooted up to the front to ask for help there. We both realized that the marshmallows were where he was earlier. He was parked in front of them and asking us where they were. Ugh! We both yelled at him to come back. He was hard of hearing. It was the perfect storm... haha! The woman at the front, Shandy,b walked over to us. She had heard us and thanked us for helping out. She brought a bag each of the small, medium, and large marshmallows to choose from. I ended up finding a picture frame for a print that I had recently bought. My friend picked it out for me. The price was right and it's of decent quality. Customer service was excellent here. This woman was nice when we were ready to pay for our items. My friend paid for her box of cookies with cash. The transaction was straightforward. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good. The woman asked if I needed a bag. I was okay carrying my items to my car. She nodded. We thanked the woman and left. We then headed to our cars and drove off to have dinner. I was happy with my purchases. The bargains really depend on what you are looking for. I was pleased with my purchases. (271)
