If the rising costs of just about everything in Canada are hitting your wallet, it might be time to take a look at the products you can start buying at Dollarama.
While Dollarama products can set you back anywhere from $1 to $5, the prices are still a welcome relief from some of the sticker shock you might have while doing your weekly shop at popular big-box retailers like Loblaws, Shoppers Drug Mart and Sobeys.
Picking up treats while you're grabbing groceries is definitely optional, but there are some products that you kind of have no choice to buy, such as toilet paper, feminine hygiene products and pantry staples.
So, if you're looking to make the most of your money, check out these Dollarama products and their comparable prices at other stores – you might just find yourself making the swap!
Toilet paper

Toilet paper is definitely a product that people need to have in their homes, and for $5 you can get eight rolls of 2-ply Cashmere brand TP at Dollarama.
For the exact same product that'll cost you $11.99 at Loblaws.
Pads
Pads.
For anyone that has to deal with a period, you can pick up 14 Kotex overnight maxi pads with wings for $4.25 at the low-cost retailer.
