As seen at the Cloverdale location in Surrey, BC.

These are the non-Dollarama branded products (ie. The hidden gems). Dollarama has decent Dollarama branded products but that's not the idea of my posts. I'm looking for the good stuff.

These products may not be restocked and are probably not typically carried.

Previous thread here: dollarama-dollarama-deals-july-11-2022- ... #p36275482

I finally saw a few things for $4.50 which is over the $4 threshold that was previously set by Dollarama. Waiting to see some $5 items in GVRD.

The Shimana PowerPoint Scissors retails for $37.49: https://sportsheadquarters.ca/products/ ... ro-scissor

The O'Keefe Aloes Boost Lip Repair retails at SDM for $6.99: https://shop.shoppersdrugmart.ca/Luxury ... lsrc=aw.ds

The Rolling Dog Doberman Paint Brushes have a really nice wood handle. Can't comment on brush quality though.

$4 would be my guess. Crazy MSRP on these similar ones though.

Stainless steel vs Silver Nickel

Yes, I had no idea they were involved in fishing gear. I thought they only made bicycle parts. Will keep an eye out for them in the Toronto area. This hunt feels like shopping at a costco or winners. You see once, but you won’t see it again.

Based on the other dedicated thread the graphic novels/comics will probably scan at $5 now.

Anyone know where to buy those 1L/1.5L alcohol hand sanitizer refill bottles now-a-days for less? Since Dollarama recalled theirs, I haven't seen them around.

Yeah I think $4. But if Dollarama is reading this, it would be nice to install price checkers in the Vancouver stores like you have in Montreal.

I didn't know Shimano made fishing gear either until I saw the Shimano filet knife at Dollarama, it's kinda bizarre...like if Apple or Samsung started making their own clothing brand.

I'd love to find the fillet knife but it looks like all the Dollarama's near me suck at stocking.

I'm actually surprised no one knew they make fishing stuff. They've been making decent reel's for over 50 years..

shimano's fishing reel is considered high end products in Japan.
i hope get some rigid and dewalt goods in my neighbourhood.
Is dollarama opening new stores in your neighbourhood? They in the process of opening another one here and it seems like they are expanding quite fast.

You're in white rock?

Richmond already has 3 Dollaramas so I don't think anymore will open.

Many people don't realize how diversified these Asian multinational companies are. Like when people see Mitsubishi and just think "cars" when they make so much more...and to this day, Toyota still makes textile manufacturing machines (modern looms).

Dollar Stores 4 LIFE~!

Well there have been reports previously that they sold fakes. When I bought it there were a few telltale signs like the box itself feels flimsy, the serial number on it isn't a legit way that they do it. Plus the model has weird colours separating the head and body, they don't match. And apparently if the feet underneath aren't painted then it is fake. The fakes come from China.

c'mon get happy!
