TL;DR/The Short Version:
Discount store with lots of cool stuff. Good prices.
The Long Version:
I love discount stores and dollar stores, so I had to pop into Magi-Prix during my latest trip to Laval.
It has a dollar store feel, but items are more than a dollar (although even stores that call themselves dollar stores these days rarely have anything that's only a dollar anymore. Most things are more than a dollar).
They have furniture and I actually saw a few cool pieces, but nothing that I really needed.
I was most impressed by their food section. They had lots of imported goods. They had teas from Germany, cookies from France and chips from France too. I ended up buying 2 boxes of tea from Sri Lanka. One was a green tea with soursop and banana flavours. I've never seen this flavour combination and admittedly it sounds strange, but more the reason to get it, right? Lol. The other was a black tea with ginger. It's rare to find a black tea with just ginger flavour. Many add lemon and honey. And some add lemongrass and/or licorice. So I was thrilled to find a plain tea and ginger.
I was eyeing the Brets chips. They were $4.50 each, and had lots of unusual flavours, but I didn't find a flavour I had to try.
They had halal gummies too.
Worth a stop if you like treasure hunting at discount stores like I do.
Free parking in the plaza parking lot.
