I just used the store locator. There is of course one in Scarborough, but I'm not going there! Two are coming soon in November that are closer to me.

We have Dollar Tree here..it freaking ROCKS! They used to have a higher-priced section, but took it out because no one would buy anything in it :-)

You need to shop at Dollar Tree. Everything is just a dollar. Please keep in mind that a store that is common inside the USA isn't necessarily common outside of the USA. In cased you missed it, Mandy is one of many Mingle2 members who live outside of the USA.

I like some of the stuff at the dollar store but there is also a fair bit of junk there. You have to know your stuff before buying.

I was just talking about the dollar store today. They have some interesting things there for sure.

I'll buy THAT for a dollar! Seriously? I'll never step into one of those dollarama stores. It's beyond me how come we import so much useless toxic chit.

I'm so glad chocolate bars are 69 cents at Dollarama! 50 cents would be better, but I can't complain much.

I remember many years ago going to either downtown Montreal or somewhere at a mall in/near Laval (Canada) and found a two story tall Dollar Tree store. I was impressed And sometimes I even find products made in the U.S.A. when I'm lucky. But you do have to be careful what you buy there, and have to remember that those "dollar" items add up when you get to the register
