I also love the dollar store and I keep my earrings and bracelets in $1 glass bowls. This was after I tried to spend $9.99 on one of the same bowls at Urban Outfitters, but it was a misplaced sale sticker. It was for their jewellery display, not for sale, but the helpful sales girl told me they were from Dollarama!

The thing about these 'dollar stores' is that they deal in goods that are usually discontinued, end-of-line, near sell by date or otherwise surplus to requirements.  There is often nothing wrong with the product itself.  So, if you do find a bargain or two consider stocking up while you can; you might not get another chance.  Consumables like cleaning products and food (watch the use by date) are a must.

I needed a quick fix for my aging linoleum flooring (31 x 14 ft space) but didn't want to spend a fortune.  I wanted something to get me through maybe 2-3 years until I renovate the entire space (kitchen/family room).  

I went to the dollar store (Dollarama) and got peel & stick tiles that look like stone tiles for only 3/$1.oo.  That's only 33 1/3 cents a square foot!  The transformation was amazing and I feel confident it will get me through for 2-3 years!

Wow, Lorraine. Would love to see how it looks! Can you send in a pic?

I love those boxes!  I bought 2 different sizes that perfectly fit small and large napkins...it made my day...ok, my week! everytime I have friends or family over, out come the boxes, they're pretty on the table and the damask pattern goes perfectly with my decor.

Lorraine, in what city is your Dollarama for the tiles?  Would love to see a picture too!

thanks for the comments.  I bought the tiles at the Dollarama in Kingston, ON.  I am not sure how to upload some pics though, sorry.
