Interior decorating can be so expensive. Even if you’re just doing a little spruce up to a designated room in your home, you could easily end up spending way more than you budgeted for if you’re not careful. Which is where the dollar store comes in! Whenever we’re craving a small upgrade, we always see what the neighbourhood dollar stores have to offer. In this case, we went on a mission for kitchen items that would provide some sprucing. If you’ve grown bored of your kitchen, head over to your local dollar store and see what you can find!

Here’s what we found:

Kitchen Towels

Swapping out your old and ratty kitchen towels for fresh ones, maybe with a lively print, can do wonders for your kitchen ambiance! The dollar store had plenty of options, from fruit-themed to flowers to simple stripes, so you’re sure to find a set that matches your vibe.

Glass Jars

A super easy way to elevate and spruce up your kitchen is to put any ingredients you have out in the open into nice glass jars! It makes your counter top look so much fancier with minimal effort and spending.

Glass Dispensers

In the same thought, the dollar store also had all kinds of glass dispensers. If your vegetable oil container is a bit of an eye sore, replace it with a dispenser. The same goes for salt and pepper!

Dishware

We were pleasantly surprised by the dishes the dollar store had to offer! Nothing makes a kitchen feel more fresh than some new dishes. Some were even large enough to be used as chic fruit bowls.

Shelving/Racks

Create some extra counter or cabinet space with some shelving. Never underestimate the power some simple organization can do! The dollar store had a decent variety of options, from dish racks to cupboard shelfs.

Drying Mat

If you’re in need of a new dish drying mat, this one felt super high-quality and sleek. However, we will note our annoyance that the dollar store now carries items that are priced at $5.

Vases

Lastly, as we were heading out, we spotted some cute vases, which would work to house larger kitchen utensils in a fun and decorative way! When saving money, it’s all about being creative.

Every new season I like to update my living space so it constantly feels fresh and exciting. But, let’s be real. Who has the budget to completely re-do their living space 4 times a year? To save money, I like to get a little creative and find various decor items that reflect the season and sprinkle them around my apartment. It’s amazing to see how some decor items can really transform your space! This season, I decided to challenge myself to see if I could update my living space for summer with items from the dollar store.

Here’s What I Found!

Birdhouse Key-holder

The first thing I came across was this adorable birdhouse key-holder! I liked how simple it was, yet still summery. I hung it near my front door so I can drop my keys on it soon as I get home! I love items that are both practical and cute.

Wicker Place-Mat

Next, I found this wicker place-mat and thought it was the perfect addition for my coffee table, and it was! Adding summery textures to a space really helps accomplish an overall summer feeling. Plus, I’ve seen simular pieces at other decor stores, and they’re always more expensive.

Orange-Print Candle

Of course I had to find something to go on the above place-mat, and when I came across the candle section, I was impressed! To be honest, I’m probably not even going to burn this candle, I just loved the orange design! It screams summer.

Iridescent Vase

This iridescent vase was my favourite find of the shopping trip. I love how subtle the iridescent is. It simply just adds a bit of colour to an otherwise regular glass vase! I added some of my fake flowers I previously found at HomeSense, but the dollar store also always has its own assortment as well.

Flower Pot + Fake Plant

I came across a bunch of fake plants while shopping and went with the above. It’s mostly leafy with some pink blooms throughout (pink just happens to be my favourite colour). However, the pot it came in was ugly and boring, so I opted to buy a pot to put it in while I was there. This white, grey, and gold one was perfect for my space, tying in my gold candle-holders with the gold accent on the pot.

Fairy Lights Bottle

What would decorating with items from the dollar store be without at least one fail? I had high hopes for this bottle with fairy lights in it, and it ended up just not being the look I was going for. It’s not horrible but definitely not great. You win some you lose some!

Framed Painting

Lastly, I found this super cute picture of a bike with a basket filled of flowers! To me, it looks more high-end than it is and really brings some pops of summer colours into my space.

Overall, I would say my shopping trip to update my living space for summer at the dollar store was a success, and I only spent about $30! I definitely recommend going into your local dollar store and seeing what you can find, you may be surprised.

Decorating for the holidays can become an expensive task quickly, so finding deals whenever possible is essential if you want to save some money this holiday season. And who doesn’t? The dollar store – specifically Dollarama in this case, actually has a ton of cute holiday decor items to spice up your space for the holidays! For me, the key was mixing dollar store decor with decor from elsewhere, in an attempt of the dollar store decor not looking overly “cheap” (even though it is). I picked up a few holiday decor items at the dollar store and then went home and to style what I found.

Here’s how shopping for holiday decor at the Dollar Store turned out!

Firstly, I needed a new stocking. To my surprise, there was an abundance to choose from. I ended up picking out a red sequin one and hung it on my living room mirror off of some holiday garland.

Next, in the ornament section, which was packed full. I spotted these 2 cute little cupcake ornaments and had to take them home and put them on my tree. They mix in perfectly with the ornaments that were already there.

I also had a tree skirt on my list. I’ve been looking for one, but have yet to find one I liked at a reasonable price. Enter – The dollar store! I found this fluffy red one, and I know it isn’t groundbreaking or anything, but it does the job! Plus, my cat approves. 

I have a floor vase in my doorway that needed a touch of holiday in it for the season. No matter where you decide to purchase artificial foliage/branches, I feel like it all looks relatively the same. So, the dollar store it is! However, I’m not going to lie. This project humbled me. Apparently, I’m not talented at bouquet arrangements, but it’ll do.

I came across this reindeer that looks like it’s made of ice (even though it is, indeed, just plastic), and had to bring it home with me. I ended up placing it with my pink Santa decoration and some vases that I have out all year long. I love incorporating holiday decor with the decor I already have.

The last piece I picked up was a small table runner to put my existing holiday centrepieces on top of. I like how it really pulled it all together in an organized yet festive way!

Now, for some great holiday decor options from the dollar that I didn’t bring home with me (but I kind of wish I had).

How adorable is this snow globe with a puppy in it? It actually felt quite high-quality, too. A great holiday decor piece for any dog lover! 

These sparkly pine trees would make wherever you place them feel festive and fun! They’re giving Whoville vibes. 

If you need some Christmas-tree bulbs, the dollar store has you covered! I wish I had seen these before I bought mine.

It doesn’t get any cuter than this reindeer bulb with a light-up red nose!

Overall, I would say shopping for holiday decor at the dollar store was a success! I added some new pieces that I love to my home for the holiday season and spent about $35.

I don’t know about you, but quite honestly, my bathroom was the one room in my apartment that I put the least effort into decorating. I have a pretty small bathroom and I didn’t really know what to do with it. Recently, I’ve been revamping my apartment and I’ve been constantly stalking decor Instagram pages and Pinterest boards. When I started living in an apartment and not in my childhood home, I quickly realized how expensive the little things are, so anything I can save money on, I do which is why I hit up dollarama for my bathroom update.

Of course, the dollar store isn’t the best for the more substantial type of updates – which you’ll see as you keep reading, but, it is a great place to find little accents that have the power to change the whole appearance! To update my bathroom, my goal was to make it more sleek and put-together looking, and quite frankly, a little less boring. 

The Plan: Spend just $50 at dollarama to update my bathroom.

This is my sink portion of the bathroom before I updated it with my dollar store finds. Pretty blah if you ask me. I even have my face wash and other essentials sitting in a box-lid from a purchase made ages ago.

Although we all love a good recycling moment, this set up just wasn’t working for me anymore.

While I was at the dollar store I didn’t have too many ideas in mind. I just knew I wanted to snag some cute decor pieces, as well as some things that would be good for storage. I came across these really pretty glass jars that I thought would be perfect for cotton swabs and cotton pads, so I bought two of them. 

Nothing freshens up a bathroom like some new hand towels so of course I had to pick up some. The dollar store is great for grabbing white washcloths and hand towels in particular because you won’t be afraid of actually using them. Plus, if you happen to accidentally stain one, they’re super cheap to replace.

I updated my sink area by first by switching out the hand towel I had with the white ones from the dollar store. I stacked two on top of each other to give it have more volume and look more expensive.

I also bought a plain white soap dispenser and decanted my favourite soap into it, just to give it a more sleek look. Then, I transferred the tray that had my soap in it to now hold my essentials that were in the box-lid. Still with me? I kept my toothbrushes in a glass but I switched it to a dark blue glass for a cute pop of colour.

While all of this definitely helped, what I think really vamped up this area were the decorative flowers.

When I saw this jar with the rope around it, I instantly put it in my cart. Even though I wasn’t sure what I wanted to use it for, I knew I needed it! I ended up putting fake flowers in it, which I also grabbed while I was there. 

I ended up adding some white pebbles and fake white flowers, all bought while I was there. I tested out a few different options for fake flowers from what they had, and I settled with the white ones because they gave my space the clean and simple vibe I was looking for.

While I was in the fake flower section I noticed these cute tiny succulents and I had to grab one because it perfectly matched my DIY project!

Like I said before, my bathroom is small, so there isn’t a lot to work with but I added a basket to hold toilet paper rolls and a scented candle. Then I put a square candle, one in black and one in white, on either side of the basket, just for some added flare. I also switched out my old bath mat for a plain white one that I snagged from the dollar store that’s super soft and the works perfectly.

Although most of the things I bought were a success, I did have a fail.

A problem with my bathroom is that I have pretty much no shelf space. So, when I saw this cute shelf-set at the dollar store, I had to grab it. I knew this could be an iffy situation, but I tried to give it a go anyway. Basically, long story short, I got one into my wall but I couldn’t get it to stay straight at all. It was kind of just hanging there, unable to hold anything so I gave up and now I have multiple holes in the wall.

So, the shelving unit will have to be a project for another day, and maybe not from the dollar store.

Last but not least, I had to grab some storage essentials while I was at the dollar store! In case you’re unaware, the dollar store is the perfect place to find some organizational items. I bought two white baskets to keep under my sink to help organize the mess of my way-too-many essentials. 

Overall, I would recommend the dollar store for decor and storage items, but keep in mind you may be better off buying certain things, like shelving units, elsewhere.

Here is the sink portion of my bathroom after the update!

Quite honestly, this little challenge made me wonder why it took me so long to buy these items in the first place — It was so easy and cost no more than $50!

7 Things You’re Better Off Buying At The Dollar Store

Let’s be real: when you’re looking to update your kitchen or any room in your house, the dollar store probably isn’t going to be the first store on your list to hit. While there are a fabulous variety of home goods stores in Toronto and online, it’s important for you to know that Dollarama should not be overlooked. Of course it depends on what you’re looking to buy because there are kitchen items that you should never cheap out on, like knives, and others that you should be saving on.

For me, I was looking to update my kitchen with expensive-looking serving bowls, accents, and items that’ll help me keep my kitchen looking as pristine as possible so I headed on into my nearest Dollarama to get started.

I first set out to see if there were any unique looking kitchen utensils at Dollarama. Unfortunately not, but what I did find was a super cute metal canister that would be great to store my existing utensils in.

I’m so happy the canister is white because my kitchen colours are white and grey, so it fit right in.

To be honest, I’m not sure why I didn’t have one of these canisters before because having all my utensils, that I use regularly, right by the stove is majorly convenient.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that Dollarama has a lot of quality ceramic items that all look much more expensive than they were.

During my shopping trip to Dollarama, picked up two different ceramic serving bowls, as well as a ceramic pie plate that will definitely come in handy with all of the holiday cooking and baking I have planned.

With the holidays coming up, I also purchased this cheese board from Dollarama for just $4. This board looks like high quality wood and will be great for making a tasty charcuterie board when entertaining.

If being eco-conscious is important to you (as it should be), then you should know that Dollarama has ceramic containers with fitted lids.

I was so excited to get my hands on this super cute container because not only would it be great for bringing my lunch to work, but I could also use the container as a bowl if needed.

One thing that I didn’t know about Dollarama is that it has a lot of kitchen items that are smaller in size, which makes it great for shopping for a small space. Normally colanders can be pretty large but this green one that I picked up at Dollarama is smaller.

When not using it as a strainer, you can store fruit or any type of fruits that don’t need to be refrigerated. I love that it also adds a pop of colour to my mostly monochromatic kitchen.

Keeping with the pop of colour, I snatched up these fun oven mitts and tall pink bottle that can be used in a variety of ways. I love it as a vase, but it can also be used for salad dressings, too!

Being someone who cooks a lot, I’m always looking for ways to stay as organized and tidy as possible while I’m cooking and prepping meals. Small bowls are super useful to put chopped ingredients into to keep your workspace mess-free.

I love these small bowls that I found at Dollarama and they can be used in a million different ways, not just for prepping.

For any bakers out there, Dollarama has you covered with this cute cake stand. While it’s not the highest of qualities, it definitely does the trick, and I actually like that it’s made of metal because it’s super light if you have to take it anywhere. The best part is that it costs only $4!

All in all, I’d say this was a pretty successful shopping haul at Dollarama. My kitchen certainly looks like its in much better shape, and I did it all for just $50!

There’s something happens inside our brains when we step into any dollar store. We see signs with items available at crazy low prices, and even if we don’t need it, for some reason we just have to have it simply because it’s cheap. While the price may be right, it doesn’t mean the item is of quality or is even safe to use. When shopping at any store, it’s a good idea to remember that you really do get what you pay for. Now don’t get us wrong because here at StyleDemocracy, you know we love a good deal and bargain, but there are even things we think folks shouldn’t buy at the dollar store.

Read on for 11 items that you should never buy at the dollar store.

Toys

While the dollar store might seem like a great place to get toys and other children’s items for less, it’s important to be mindful of the quality. Cheap toys from your local dollar store can easily break and small parts can be a real choking hazard for your kiddos.

Batteries

Batteries purchased at your local dollar store might be poorly made, which means that they can drain super quick. Besides not lasting a long time, dollar store batteries can even leak so it’s best to purchase batteries from stores and brand names you can trust.

Chargers

We know that the Apple store charges a pretty penny for its chargers (pun intended), but it might be worth it to spend a bit more. USB chargers from the dollar store likely won’t charge your smartphone or tablet quickly and some phones can even detect if the charger is a knockoff.

Plastic cooking utensils

For all you home cooks out there, we know it can seem enticing to step into the dollar store and see various kitchen products available at such great prices. However, sometimes these kitchen utensils, especially the plastic ones, can contain chemicals aren’t good for you or your family. To be sure you’re not ingesting anything other than nutritious goodness, we suggest purchasing your spatulas and whisks from more reputable kitchen retailers.

Pet food

Our furry friends deserve the absolute best and that includes the food we feed them. Dollar store pet food and treats can often be made from sub-par ingredients, or the food itself might even be expired when placed on shelves. It’s recommended that you double-check ingredients and best before dates just to be on the safe side! Another pet item you might want to reconsider buying from the dollar store is a leash, especially if you’re looking for something with strength and durability.

Makeup

If you’re super careful about what products you put on your face, you might want to steer clear from dollar store makeup. While your local dollar store might carry a few name brands, it’s possible that these products didn’t make it past quality control, or contain harmful chemicals, or worse, could even be expired.

Canned goods

We’d never think it, but canned goods available at the dollar store can often contain traces of BPA which is incredibly harmful. In addition to the health risks, you might not even be getting the best deal. It’s best to really know your prices and price match the canned goods sold at the grocery store.

Sunscreen

Did you know that sunscreens actually degrade over time? If you’re looking to save on some SPF at the dollar store, make sure you zone in on the expiration date before you buy.

Fragrances

We know it’s exciting to find a great beauty dupe, but the fragrances available at the dollar store can possibly contain chemicals that should never be in perfume in the first place. We’re all about saving money, but perfumes should be purchased from reputable retailers for the peace of mind.

Tools

Buying cheap tools is fine for emergencies but if you’re looking for tools that’ll last you a while, the dollar store is not the place to buy them. It’s best to spend a bit more on items that you want to be of quality. Plus, there’s nothing worse that a pair of pliers or a screwdriver breaking mid-use, right? Visit HealthyHandyMan.com to help make an informed decision on these tools.

Knives

Ask any chef or foodie where they buy their knives, and we’ll bet that the dollar store isn’t the place they’d recommend. You truly get what you pay for when it comes to knives so it really pays off to splurge when it comes to these items. A great knife is a kitchen essential so you really shouldn’t cheap out.

I love a good dollar store haul, so I’m super excited to share with you how I updated my bedroom with $50 at Dollarama.

In the last couple of years, Dollarama has raised their prices, which has been a tad frustrating. But, with the increase in price, we’ve seen an increase in quality, more trend-forward options, and a wider variety of products.

So while it seems to be impossible to get anything for $1, a lot of the things Dollarama sells are in the $3-4 range and they’re actually pretty great.

Most of the items I got fell into that range, but with $50 I was still able to get a lot of storage, decor, and functional items. 

Storage

updated bedroom dollarama

I have an IKEA bookshelf that I use as a TV stand for clothes, knick-knacks, and other things I don’t know what to do with. On the right side, we have some storage bins for our clothes, but the left side was in desperate need of some love.

Everything was living in storage tote bags and being shoved into the cub so I needed something cute, but functional in this space.

I got two of these striped storage bins for $4 each. I like the colours, the stripes, and how they were relatively neutral in my space. Dollarama has a wide variety of storage bins, baskets, and cubes, all at different price points!

Lighting

updated bedroom dollarama

I have been obsessed with these lamps since I first saw them on the shelves at Dollarama. I knew they’d make an adorable addition to my TV stand, so I got two of them at $4 each to place on either side of my TV.

I love that they’re battery operated, so I can move them around my house as needed with ease. Although they don’t give off a ton of light, they do add some nice ambiance to any space.

Decor

updated bedroom dollarama

Where I had the most fun was with decor, and I was really blown away by the decor options for homes at Dollarama.

Dollarama even sells those funky vintage letter boards for just $4. I already own two, so I didn’t get one but it’ such a steal.

I am obsessed with wooden crates, and have always wanted to own one, so when I saw that Dollarama sold small sized ones for $4, I knew I needed to have it. Even though I wasn’t exactly sure how I’d fit it into my space, I still got it. What’s great about the crate is that it’s unfinished, but looks great as is or painted. Who knows, I might get crafty with it later!

One of my biggest scores, was a book of prints that only cost $4.

prints

There’s about 30 prints of various sizes in the book, and they’re all really cute. I got the “love” collection, but Dollarama had a few other options as well. I used two large 11×14 inch prints, cut them out of the book, and framed them with two white picture frames that were $4 each.

The frames themselves also surprised me. I’ve bought frames from Dollarama before that were made out of plastic and not the best quality. However, these frames are made out of metal, and really looked premium compared to others.

Since there were so many prints in the book, I cut out a few smaller ones and placed them around my room in different areas. I still have a bunch left, and I think they’ll make excellent gifts for other people as well. I can’t wait to share them!

Plants

bedroom

If you know me, you know I have a healthy obsession with plants! While Dollarama may not sell any real plants, the store has a great gardening section with beautiful pots, soil, and everything you need to get started.

However, if gardening isn’t your strong suit and your plants don’t live long lives, you can get a ton of artificial plants and flowers at the dollar store. That’s why I used some ivy to hang off the tapestry behind my bed.

Other Items

I have a huge collection of earrings that hang in my bedroom, but I didn’t have a small mirror handy to try them on. I picked one up for only $2!

I also wanted a way to hold back my curtains. I found a nice rope in the craft section that matched the handles on the storage bins. Now I have a cute way to tie them back!

Going into your local dollar store can be quite overwhelming due to it being so oversaturated with stuff. Shopping for a couple things can quickly result in your total at the front desk going a through the roof. We all know how easy it is to end up wasting time and money on things you’ll never use, or that won’t last. However, the dollar store can be a wonderful place for a variety of items. There are a lot of things you’re better off buying at the dollar store, whether it be for convenience or price.

We’ve put together a list of 7 things that you’re better off buying at the dollar store than anywhere else! 

Arts & Craft Supplies

The dollar store offers a large section of arts and craft supplies. If you have an art project or just want to do something artsy and creative, you’re better off checking the dollar store before shopping for these supplies elsewhere. Art supplies can range in price and get to be quite expensive in traditional art supply stores. Unless you’re looking for professional grade art supplies, you’re better off buying things like acrylic paints, bristol board, canvases, and sketch books at your local dollar store. 

Office & School Supplies

The dollar store is a great place to find affordable yet still cute office and school supplies. There’s a whole section dedicated to these supplies usually ranging from $1 – $4, which is a steal compared to other retailers. You can find a variety of stationary products from pens and pencils, to notebooks and binders, and just about everything in between at your local dollar store. 

Cleaning Supplies

The dollar store is loaded with household cleaning products at a fraction of their usual cost. When shopping for cleaning supplies it’s definitely worth a trip to the dollar store to check if they have what you need first. They’re stacked with a variety of washing solutions as well as brooms, mops, rags, dish sponges and more.

Hair Accessories

Any dollar store offers a variety of hair accessories. You’re better off grabbing your standard hair supplies at your local dollar store, especially the simple essentials like hair elastics, hair bands, bobby pins, hair clips even hair brushes and combs. 

Beauty Products

While most products at the dollar store are a great bargain, when it comes to makeup products, we wouldn’t recommend trusting the dollar store for all your beauty needs. However, there are some beauty essentials that you’re better off buying here than anywhere else! Nail files, nail polish remover, cotton pads, q-tips, chapstick and sometimes you can even find good brands of deodorant and shaving cream at the dollar store. 

Party Essentials

The dollar store has pretty much anything you need when it comes to throwing a party or even being a guest at one. Some common party supplies you’re probably better off buying at the dollar store to avoid over-priced party stores are solo cups (in all different sizes and colours), party decorations like streamers, balloons, and signs. You can even find super cute wrapping paper and a large selection of fun greeting cards. 

Anything Travel Sized

You’re better off getting your travel essentials at the dollar store because other retailers hike up the prices of these tiny products for no good reason. The dollar store offers a variety of travel sized essentials as well as travel sized containers in various forms like bottles, squeeze tubes, and spray bottles so you can simply just put your favourite full-sized product into a smaller container if you wish to do so, and you’re ready to go.

Who doesn’t love dollar stores? In this economy, finding anything that’s a bargain is pretty amazing so when we see something available for cheap, it’s basically love at first sight. Now, there’s a new Korean dollar store in town and we’re ready to get shopping.

Korean-inspired dollar store, Mumuso has just opened its first location in Toronto at North York Centre.

Though the brand is based in China, its business and products are marketed to consumers as Korean. The brands website says, “MUMUSO is a Korean brand with the focus on fashion. Its products are manufactured in China, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, and so on, providing clients with a wide range of fine goods to choose from.”

Consumers can expect to shop items like children’s products, apparel, accessories, kitchen items, bags, stationery, skincare, and cosmetic goods.

Mumuso Toronto is located at 5150 Yonge Street.

The brand already has two locations in British Colombia and is super popular in Asia with intentions of opening more than 300 locations in India by the year 2020.

If you’re thinking that Mumuso seems extremely similar to Chinese dollar store retailer Miniso, you’re not alone.

With all the similarities, only time will tell how this new addition to Toronto’s retail scene will perform.
