If you shop at Dollarama, you know that prices are pretty cheap.

But just because every product is $5 or less doesn't mean that it hasn't become more expensive at the discount retailer.

Some items had price increases of as much as 75% in the last four years!

Here are a bunch of Dollarama grocery products that are more expensive now compared to 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
