A Store of Everything - Dollarama

This evening I took a trip to the dollar store. But this was no ordinary dollar store. This was Dollaramma! I have noticed a huge increase of products that they carry. You name it they have it! And the best thing is everything is one dollar or less. Tonight I learned that they surprisingly have brand name stuff. For example, they had KFC picnic bags with the colonel's face on the bag! They had brand name shampoos and conditioners too!

I went into the store with Larissa and Braedan, and Larissa was looking for bottles to hold her shampoo for her trip to BC. We all went down this aisle and I notice the very large assortment of Dollar Store Pregnancy Tests. They had soooooo many of them. I started laughing in the store and the people at the end heard me. Although i don't think they could speak much English. But seriously, would you honestly trust a Dollarama pregnancy test? It even said on the box: "99% Accurate". I am curious to see if it is or not.

Continuing down some of the aisles, I have to comment on the wide variety of arts and craft supplies. A very large selection of dollar store paints. And they aren't the small little bottles of acyrlics either; they are the big bottles which can go far.

I have noticed that the selection of wooden craft products is limited to small wooden bird houses and medium sized jewelery boxes. I would have liked to have seen more of a selection.

The pet products were such a great deal. they had a large wall of pet toys and collars for cats, dogs, hamsters, and birds. Not to mention the food was a great bargain! I believe it was 3 cans of cat food for $1.00. Not bad, although I personally wouldn't feed my pet that kind of food. But if you were low on money, and you had to feed a pet, it wouldn't be that bad.

--------------UPDATE ON $1 PREGNANCY TEST----------------------------

I just recently searched up "Dollarama" on the internet and the second link that came up was about the $1 Pregnancy Test. Here is the link for further reading. Basically they are warning people not to use them because the product is not licensed for sale in Canada. They are called "New Choice Pregnancy Test". But this was said in 2005. Apparently now they are licensed now in Canada. The article shares both sides of this product; is good or not.

After readign some of those comment, i want to share a comment that I can agree on....
"New Choice early pregnancy tests are sold for $1 at Dollar Trees in the US. They have tested positive as early as 12 days after ovulation for me. It’s similar to a litmus test - there’s nothing complicated to screw up. It’s cheap, just as accurate as a test that costs 10 times as much, and if you test negative and want to check again, you’re saving even more. Personally, trying to get pregnant, I’m not running into a clinic every week. And I prefer to test more often than that anyhow. And a formal qualitative hCG test at the doc is still spends more money (yours or taxpayers) and is more time consuming. What’s not to trust? The little line turns color when the hormone’s detected. No doctorate required." - Erin


I can see now that it doesn't hurt anyone to use these. If it was injecting something into you that could harm you or a baby, then I could see the concern. But honestly.... I hope they aren't gonna start selling $1 Condoms.....
