Next time you make a trip to your local Ontario Dollarama, things are going to look a little different. 

As of April 8, the province is under a stay-at-home order. This means that big box stores are only able to sell essential items.

While Dollarama locations across the province remain open, they are only allowed to sell essential goods such as groceries, household cleaning products and personal care items.

Because of this new order, aisles have been blocked off to keep customers from purchasing anything that doesn't fall under this category.

In fact, the company has even posted a list that details all of the items that you can't buy under the stay-at-home order.

This includes school and office supplies, clothing, candles, home decor, kitchen and glassware, books, greeting cards and more. You can see the full list of restricted items below:
