Bodico - Sisal glove:  $2.50
Menji - Dolphin stapler:  $1.50
Ice cream calculator:  $2

All @ Yoko Yaya

I saw the same kind of glove at Daiso for $3.50, and I was considering buying it then.  I thought I could possibly get it cheaper online though, so I didn't.

Well, it wasn't cheaper online!  And they were at least $8 anywhere else, so I was planning on buying it the next time I went back.

So glad I didn't!  This one's even cheaper, and it works great.  I should probably stock up for when this one falls apart.

I'm surprised they had something under $2 here.  I thought that would have been worth it for the stapler.  It was the only one there, so I got it even though I'm not crazy about the colour.

The calculator was just so cute, I couldn't resist!  Even though I really have no use for it.  They're online for about $10!

Automatic rubbery ducky nightlight:  $3 @ Dollarama

I thought this was just adorable, but overpriced.  I expected to find it cheaper online, but I couldn't find it anywhere...I also couldn't find it at any other Dollarama, so I just had to come back and get it!

It used to be on amazon, but I don't know how much it was there.  I did see some sold ones on ebay for $13!

Snoopy fleece hoodie:  $2.50 (RSP:  $29.99)
TMNT raglan dress:  $2.50 (RSP:  $19.99)

Both @ Bluenotes

Pretty sure both are supposed to be sleep shirts, but I sized down so I can wear them out!  Not sure if the hoodie will work, but the other one definitely will.

Cerave - Foaming facial cleanser:  $14.97
Cerave - AM Facial Moisturizing lotion:  $13.97

Both @ Walmart

Both were regular price too, but I still had gift cards, and I wanted to try them out.  Otherwise I would have waited!

Pretty pricey, I've definitely never spent that much on facial products before.  Hopefully they're worth it!

I was considering getting the PM moisturizer too, but I felt uncomfortable hitting the $50 mark!

Sleeping cat hand held mirror
Ceramic frog soap dispenser
Ceramic duck soap dispenser

All $1.25 each @ Dollar Giant

I was shocked when I saw those ceramic soap dispensers.  I've never seen them so cheap anywhere!  They usually retail for $10+, so I had to snatch these up.

They're painted kind of sloppy, but I think they still look alright.  I'm still surprised they were so cheap!  I would expect plastic from a dollar store.

I did see toothbrush holders, but I thought they looked kind of dopey.  Turns out there were soap dishes too, but my store didn't have them.  I found these sets on amazon for $17+ each!


The toothbrush holder was the exact same mold as the soap dispenser.  Not the same case for the frog set:


The toothbrush holder there was a completely different mold, and it was shorter.  It actually looked fine, but I didn't really need it.

Saw the monkey soap dispenser too, but I didn't like that at all:


Turns out there was a puppy too, but I wouldn't have picked that up either:


Well, maybe if it looks good in person!

The mirror was more than I wanted to pay, but it was so adorable, I couldn't resist.  It has a heart nose and heart cheeks!  The entire design was just too perfect.

They had a blue/pink combo, but that one was so scratched up.  They also had a purple/pink combo, but I wasn't that fond of it.  I'm going to have to check out any other ones I come across!

Pack of 3 Archie notebooks:  $2.50 @ Dollarama (RSP:  $16.99)

I'm surprised these retailed for so much, but the price is right on the back!  They definitely don't feel high enough quality to warrant the price.

Not that they're bad quality, just not what you'd expect for so high.  I love the graphics though,so I had to get it!

Pink rhinestone mouse:  $3 @ Dollarama (RSP:  $7.95 - $15)

I looked all over for this!  One store had exactly ONE left, so I had to get it!

I think they might also have this in purple, but I probably won't get it.  But I love pink, so I had to get the light and hot ones!

George short parka: $10 @ Walmart.ca (RSP:  $49.97)

It was a decent price, so I thought I might as well get it.  I don't have any jackets that colour!

It's not super warm either,so it'll be good for in between months.  The best part is, it folds up pretty small!

Hello Kitty projector watch:  $3 (RSP:  $16.50US)
Rhinestone mouse:  $3 (RSP:  $7.95 - $15)

Both @ Dollarama

I'm not really that into hello kitty, but as of recently, I am into fun watches!  It was cheap enough, so I decided to pick it up.  It retails for almost $20 online!

I love blinged out stuff, so I had to get that mouse.  I saw that there's a light pink version, so I hope I can find that one!  That colour looks way better than this one.

Poncho sweater $2.33 (RSP:  $29.99)
Girls shaker rib tunic in natural:  $2.33 (RSP:  $29.99)
Girls shaker rib tunic in wine:  $2.34 (RSP:  $29.99)

All @ Bluenotes

Such a great deal!  I have a ton of sweaters, but most of them aren't very long.  These are dress length, plus they have hoods, so they were totally worth picking up.

They're still on the site:



I wish I sized down!  The ones I got weren't very form fitting.


Fold over plaid lined boots:  $10 @ Urban Planet (RSP:  $29.99)

This was way more than I wanted to pay.  It was only half off, but I had a coupon to bring it down lower.

I really liked them though, so I thought they were worth getting.  You can fold them over to make two additional lengths!  That's pretty neat, I don't have any boots like that.

Fur lined winter boots:  $5 @ Sirens (RSP:  $59.99)

I've seen these for a long while, but the line ups were always too long, or they just didn't have my size.  Glad I finally got them today!

Starfrit - Mightican can opener:  $11.19 (RSP:  $15.99)
Starfrit - Little Beaver can opener:  $9.79 (RSP:  $13.99)

Both @ London Drugs

I had a gift card, so I decided to buy these.  I don't think I've seen them on sale before, so I had to get them now.

They're way more expensive than the cheap ones I usually get, but I'm tired of having to replace those.  Hopefully these will last a while!

They have a three year warranty, so it should last at least that long.  From the reviews I've seen, they can practically last forever!  The dollar store ones have all broken within a year.

Kismet - Kora graphic tee:  $2.49 (RSP:  $34.90)
Kismet - Dark brown long lace core tank:  $3.49 (RSP: $16.90)
Kismet - London fog long lace core tank:  $3.49 (RSP: $16.90)

All @ Bootlegger

The tanks were a bit more than last time, but they're worth it!  I love how long they are, and they're pretty flattering too.  I'd like to get them in more colours!

Plaid insert puffer jacket:  $14.99 (RSP: $ 189.90)
Leopard compartment satchel bag:  $6.24 (RSP:  $49.90)

Universal texture jacquard crop pants:  $3.74 (RSP:  $59.90)
Universal silver lining sateen crop:  $3.74 (RSP:  $52.90)

All @ Ricki's.

The jacket came back even cheaper, so I decided to get one for my mom!  It's warm, stylish, and practical, so it was a great deal.

They had some other ones too, but they didn't go as low as this one.  Too bad, I would have liked to get them!

I was really happy about the pants though.  They were cheap, and they fit great!  I barely have any that do so I definitely needed more.

Glass-like utensils 16 piece set:  $14.99 @ Simons (RSP:  $24)

This is the first time I've ever looked at this site, let alone buy anything from it.  It had free shipping, so why not.

I really like the look of it.  The price could have been better, but it seemed ok.  The stores around me have sets for the same price, but they're all so boring looking!

In person, I was kind of disappointed.  They look much cheaper!  They were even packaged in a flimsy tube with no other information, so that didn't help.

Some of them were pretty scratched up too.  They were clattering around in there the whole time, which might have contributed to that.

The one good thing, is that it only took three days to arrive from the time I ordered.  I was pretty impressed by that!

I'm not sure if I'll keep them.  We'll see!

I saw a similar set online for a bit cheaper.  It was around $20 plus shipping, but it did have 24 pieces:


It even came with a steel caddie!  Reviews were pretty bad though, supposedly, they break pretty easily.  I'm not too fond of the texture either.

This kind of style is my favourite:
But those ones are much more expensive.  I saw some similar serving tools at Daiso a while back..now I wish I picked them up!
