I found that food basics prices have been pretty good compared to no frills and that dollarama plus has better quality items and toys than family dollar.

The prices over there are decent, but not on the Jewish products.

Misspelled. It's just Dollarama, family started calling lt that since they started selling items more than 1 dollar.

Imho, Dollarama is better than dollar tree, family dollar and the others.

Better in selection? Quality? Value?

I miss the days of the true dollar stores.

Definitely in selection. They have it all. The quality is pretty decent as well.

What do you mean by that?

Yes they have a selection but value not so much.
I mean that no product in the store went for more than a dollar.

More than a dollar? They have plenty of higher priced items. 4 or 5...

US brands, smaller market, and often imported to Canada.
