I compared the cost of Dollarama and Walmart cleaning products — These 17 are cheaper at one

Drano Clog Remover

Walmart and Dollarama both sell 900-millilitre bottles of Drano clog remover.

Walmart sells the bottle for $8.97, while Dollarama sells the same one for just $4. That's almost $5 in savings!

The discount retailer sells the sponges for $4 each, while the Walmart store I went to charges $5.97.

You can save almost $2 by buying Dawn Platinum Plus Powerwash at Dollarama.

The discount store sells a 473-millilitre bottle for $5, while Walmart sells the same size for $6.77.

Lysol Toilet Bowl Cleaner

Lysol toilet bowl cleaner comes in different sizes at Walmart and Dollarama, but it's cheaper at Dollarama when you break down the cost.

At Walmart, a 710-millilitre bottle costs $4.97, or $0.70 per 100 millilitres.

At Dollarama, a 473-millilitre bottle costs $2.75, or $0.58 per 100 millilitres.

Windex

Windex is a popular glass cleaner you find at both Walmart and Dollarama.

At Walmart, a 765-millilitre bottle typically costs $5.77, or $0.75 per 100 millilitres. When I visited my local store, it was on rollback for $4.47, bringing the price down to $0.58 per 100 millilitres.

At Dollarama, you can buy a 630-millilitre bottle of Windex for $4, or $0.63 per 100 millilitres.
