A few Saturdays ago, in late October, I was in Etobicoke getting groceries at Farm Boy. I needed canned tuna. My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when I looked at how much the prices were for canned tuna.
The cheapest can was going for $4.40. Um, no. I need cheaper.
I remembered that this Dollarama store was in the same plaza. I'd try my luck for canned tuna here.
I frankly don't know why it took me so long to visit this store. I am in this plaza for Kettleman's Bagels and Farm Boy. I can add this store to the mix.
This Dollarama is probably the largest one that I've ever been to. It was spacious and inviting. Halloween and Fall decor merchandise hit me when I first walked through the doors.
I was on a mission to get canned tuna, so I walked the food, beverage, and candy aisles. They were easy to find and nicely organized.
I found my cans of tuna. $1.25 for a can was definitely better than what I saw at Farm Boy. I saw Pasta Roni next to the canned tuna section. It intrigued me. Too bad I didn't see Rice a Roni. I would have freaked out even more by belting out the jingle.
The beverages at this store were great. I saw everything from Gatorade to kombucha. This store has Bai and a huge assortment of pop, too. I need to return and try Ocean Spray's diet cranberry. It was my first time spotting it.
I had a competent, friendly man at the checkout. He was relaxed and nice. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done.
I had a reusable bag with me. I stuffed it with my purchases, thanked the man, and headed to my car.
The canned tuna worked out well for the two recipes that I had. Save some money by getting your canned goods here.
I'm so glad that I dropped by. I'll be back.
