Stocking stuffers made in Canada...from Dollarama! (part 5)
Well, here we are at the end of our series on filling stockings with Canadian-made gifts on a budget by shopping at Dollarama. We have already filled the following stockings:
1) The kids
2) Mom
3) Dad
4) Pets
Today I thought it would be fun to think about all those students living away from home, or the young adults dreaming of moving out on their own in the New Year. So we made a stocking for the home!
Clockwise from top:
1) Cool Crisp fridge odor eliminator & produce crisper, made in Quebec by Karmin Industries: $ 2.00
2) Scotch-Brite scrubbing sponges (2), made in Ontario by 3M: $ 1.00
3) Felt floor protectors, made in Quebec by Dutex: $ 1.00
4) All-purpose scrubber, made in Canada: $ 0.50
5) Compostable kitchen organic bags, made in Quebec by Dorfin: $ 2.00
6) Wood-handle dish mop, made in Canada: $ 1.00
7) Hand sanitizer gel, made in Quebec by Delon Labs: $ 1.25
Total cost (before taxes): $ 8.75
As you can see, it is possible to buy Canadian on a budget. It just takes lots of label reading and a desire to make a difference. And remember, the job we are saving could be our own!
Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year 2011 from the entire team at Buy Canadian First!
