r/dollarama

Found different flashlights for 5 dollars. Are they worth it for everyday use or they are bad ? I am just worrriwd about the strength of the light

I feel like there are certain things at Dollarama that are just as good as the more expensive versions.
Curious what everyone considers their best Dollarama find!

Idk about you guys….but I thought the pressure on my wallet couldn’t get any worse, until I walked into Micheal’s and left with nothing this month.

I only buy what I need which is no more than 40-50 dollars and lasts me sometimes a year. One of my items has became 50 dollars and I need it, since I sell my art. My art has now become a secondary income. I sell 2-3 painting a month and aim to sell them around 500 combined. Yes, I have tried selling for more but everyone is feeling it, including the people who collect.

Now I clearly love to paint so I do it leisurely as well, to cut the cost, I recently looked at the dollarama art section and saw more options that I thought, specifically for my leisure projects.

Before I splurge and buy everything on the rack, I thought I would ask everyone here who has painted with them experienced painters or not. Is it worth it? Do they last? Is the paint or which of them are thin? Is the watercolour decent? How’s the sketch paper? The watercolour paper?

I saw a woman leaving with them but I didn’t even think of asking her because I was only coming to look for markers and I end up asking myself, if I should try to sell an extra painting so I can buy a decent amount of things here?

From even the wood stuff, to paint on and even make nick nacks, or to make large beautiful pieces on. But I’m not going to get it ALL if dollarama is hitting everyone with shrinkflation with watery paint.

I’m still guilty of leaving with 30 dollars worth of markers, candy, and the brushes, which honestly are just fine. Better than some of the worst ones you can buy and Micheal’s for 3x the price.

EDIT: I am asking because I am only using my expensive oil based and a few acrylic paints for my selling paintings. Hobby painting needs to be cheaper.

I'm 16m, just got hired as a seasonal part-time worker from now until January 31st at my local Dollarama. I just worked my first shift yesterday, and I signed myself up for ~8-10 hours per week, available Fridays after school and weekends all day on my application. This is my very first job, so I really don't at all know how I'm supposed to go about this.

Just to be clear, this isn't about changing my schedule, the schedule comes out weekly, and these weeks have not been scheduled yet. I just want to know if I can request not be scheduled on specific hours of specific days.

Firstly, I'm worried I'm going to be scheduled Halloween night. My manager said I'm probably going to be working evening shifts next week, and I'm afraid that's going to become a continuing trend the next week. Would it be okay if I sent her a message asking that I'm not scheduled on an evening shift that day/weekend? Something along the lines of "I'm wondering if it would be possible to request I'm not scheduled on an evening shift on the 31st".

Secondly, I'm part of my school play, and there are a few Saturdays in the year where we have to go in and work on the play. If I know I have to go in on a Saturday, is it okay for me to ask my boss not to schedule me for the hours I have to be at school? Should I just send my manager a message that says I am unavailable at those hours?

hello all.

I don't have a cat. but I have a friend with a cat that I think would absolutely love the halloween cat house everyone keeps posting about.

but............. I can't seem to find it in stock in any dollarma stores in Edmonton! at least none of the more nearby southside stores, which are easier to get to for my public transit taking self.

anyone got intel on where in this city there's a location that has these? I have a 'nephew kitty' I need to spoil LOL. and I'd be willing to cross the river via bus for him. there's not a lot of things I would cross the river for, but this is one of them lol.

thanks in advance!
