Dollar Stores
In London I wouldn’t even consider going into the pound shop mostly because its just stuff you don’t need and really badly made stuff but in Vancouver its almost a way of life!
There are some really good ones and some not so good, if you really want to know I like the one in Park Royal, the 2 in Lougheed Mall are a bit crap although they have some uses and I think its because Walmart is also there. I hate succumbing to the evil Walmart but I will if I can’t find something from the dollar store. There is also Dollar Giant in Abbotsford which is the size of a supermarket. I like the names…EFAD(Everything For A Dollar), A Buck of Two, Dollarrama, Dollar Depot etc etc
I actually held a cocktail party and bought the little umbrellas, stirrers, shot measurer, magarita and martini glasses, table cloth and serviettes from less than $12, its all going to get broken anyway so why not… noone really needs to know where you got it from.
