Re: Dollar Stores

Ahh, gift wraps .. yes "k"

We used to buy coffee mugs from there, long time ago - cause good coffee mugs otherwise are so damn expensive .

I buy scotch brite single packs, broom, dust pan, toilet brush, lint remover, diaper trash bags, wipes, oven liners, vim cleaner, bottles to store daal and spices in. Drawer organizers, aluminum baking pans, pizza pans.
Yes I do a lot of shopping from.the dollar store. : :snooty:

Re: Dollar Stores

What do they buy?

Gift bags
Gift Wraps
Stationary
mops
toys
aluminum foils
coloring/arts books
puzzles
Loot-bag goodies.
and whatever they find interesting…

Re: Dollar Stores

Clothes hangers, gift bags, wrapping paper and disposable or plastic trays (like if I have to take food somewhere and I have no hope of getting the dishes back, I'll buy a cheap tray for transport).

Re: Dollar Stores

the owners or the stores?

Re: Dollar Stores

on side note, let me admit that Dollarama is the best dollar-store in US/Canada beats Dollar-tree hands down :bummer:

Re: Dollar Stores

I used to buy aluminum wrap and hangers from there too but hangers are cheaper at other stores like big lots. For aluminum foil, the quality is not good as compared to what I buy from other stores. I use the foil on stove plates and the dolar store ones would tear while putting on the plates.
I do buy gift wraps, party favors and coloring books.

Re: Dollar Stores

Another thing that is ok at dollar stores is small kitchen drawer tools set. Nothing that would help you to fix your car, but to do odd jobs like tightening a screw here and there, they are pretty ok

Re: Dollar Stores

dust pans
trays like the kind sehrysh mentioned
bottles
bowls
mugs
glasses that can take a beating from the kids
gift bags
gift wrap
hangers
kleenex
some cleaning products are okay there
