I admit it, my daughters turned me on to Dollarama in Toronto. And, while true that the stores in Toronto are twice the size of the ones in Nova Scotia (at least the ones I've been to), they are fantastic. I like this one because it's close to home and the staff are super friendly. But the truth is I go for bargains. And no one does it better than Dollarama. True, now some of their products actually cost $1.50, but most still come in at a dollar - and even several for a dollar, depending on what. My favorite purchases include things for the kitchen. One doesn't need to spend a fortune on little measuring cups. You get 4 for a dollar - cute tiny bowls for getting all those chopped ingredients ready for a stir fry. Or my cute little teaspoons that look like antiques and always get wonderful ooohs and aaaahs at my table. Another area that draws me is the aisles of great things to amuse my grandsons....5 glue sticks for $1 + 1 bag of feathers or tiny pom poms + construction paper = $3 and hours of arts and crafts - Picasso look out! Tired of losing winter tuques and mitts that cost a fortune? Grab a bunch at $1 each. What's your favorite aisle? read more
