9 Cheap Stores In Canada That Aren't Dollarama & Offer Affordable Prices (PHOTOS)

Krazy Bins

Details: If you love going for a good bargain hunt, Krazy Bins is the retailer for you. Every week, they sort tens of thousands of goods into various boxes, and prices never exceed $25.

It means you definitely have to go searching for the products you want, but you can find some great deals on brand-name items like electronics and clothes.

Go armed with a little bit of patience and a good attitude and who knows — you might just score a pair of designer shoes!

Brands Gone Wild

Details: Much like Krazy Bins, you never quite know what you're going to find at Brands Gone Wild. The retailer works with "Toronto-based wholesale buyers and sellers" to get brand-name items that they can then sell for "ridiculously low" prices.

But you'll have to be quick: "Once our stock is gone, it's gone for good," they warn.

'"Opportunity buying' is the name of our game," they say of their offerings. "We scavenge around for the best dead stock opportunity purchases from the brands you love, and mark them down ridiculously low. Our access to curated, keenly-priced brand name goods have kept us going for over 30 years now, with many more years to come."

Once Upon A Child

Details: Kids grow so, so quickly, and buying new onesies and play clothes every few months (or even weeks) can seriously take a toll on your wallet, particularly when you're already buying diapers and everything else that goes with having a little one.

At Once Upon A Child, you can shop gently used kid’s clothes, shoes, toys, furniture and baby gear for up to 70% off. As well, you can bring in the stuff that your kiddo no longer uses and possibly get paid on the spot.

"When you bring in your gently used kid’s clothing, toys and furniture, you are helping make the earth a better place," they explain. Recycling clothing can save thousands of gallons of water and millions of barrels of oil. Selling your gently used items to our stores allows other kids to enjoy them again. That helps cut down the emissions of toxic chemicals and gases that are generated when new textiles and other materials are created to make brand new toys and baby gear."

A win for your wallet and the environment!

Miniso

Details: From beauty products to Japanese snacks to home items, Miniso sells items priced between $2 and $10, with a few items going over that threshold. Still better-priced than most stores offering international goods!

They also update their stock ever seven days, so there'll always be something new to shop every week.
