Stocking stuffers made in Canada...from Dollarama! (part 1)
Is it really the week before Christmas already?! Where has the time gone? It’s time for shopping, baking and decorating. It’s also time for our 3rd annual series of blog posts for Made-in-Canada stocking stuffers from Dollarama!
My son broke his leg playing hockey last weekend and he was very disappointed that he could not help me shop this year. In the past, we would do it together and would tackle it as a ‘treasure hunt’. I could really have used his help this year because it was harder than in past years to find things made in Canada at the dollar store…and some of the ones I found were no longer $ 1 (but nothing over $ 2) This year more than ever, times are hard and wallets are getting pretty empty by now. Not much left for those stockings…
Still, let’s see what we found, and of course we’ll start with the kiddies:
Clockwise from top:
1) Marshmallow Christmas Trees (5), made in Quebec by Original Foods: $ 2.00
2) Colgate kids toothpaste: $ 2.00
3) Dubble Bubble Gumballs, made in Ontario by Concord Confections: $ 1.00
4) Santa shaped chocolate, made in Quebec by Les Chocolats Vadeboncoeur: 3 for $ 1.00
5) Oracare dental floss (after all those sweets!): $ 1.00
6) Despicable Me liquid hand soap, made in Quebec by Delon Labs: $ 1.25
Total (before taxes): $ 8.25
Not bad! Next, we’ll see what we can find for Mom…
