Quartet - Magnetic dry-erase calendar:  $4 (RSP:  $10+)
Fabny - Hello Kitty messenger bag:  $4 (RSP:  ~$20)

All @ Dollarama

This is my first time visiting since they introduced $4 items!  For the most part, a lot of the items were ones that would have been $3 a while ago.

These items in particular seemed worth it though.  That messenger bag is pretty big!

Ruffle hem maxi dress:  $8.95 (RSP:  $29)


Boho maxi dress:  $6.25 (RSP:  $29)


Floral print dress:  $4.45 (RSP:  $19)


Roll hem shorts:  $4.45 (RSP:  $19)

All @  Joe Fresh

They had free shipping, and I really liked some of those dresses.  I wish I didn't buy the maxis though...the chest area is way too small!!  It's bizarrely short.  Too bad they're all final sale.

The other two worked out though.  I really loved the prints on those two!  Especially the "floral" one,, which actually had fish on it too.

Ninja turtles PJ set:  $7.50 (RSP:  $24.50)


Fabric sneakers - heather/charcoal:  $4.35 (RSP:  $14.50)


Polka dot canvas sneakers:  $4.35 (RSP:  $14.50)

All @ Ardene

They had free shipping, so I finally decided to buy something from here.  Their clothing is always a bit more than I want to pay, but I thought the pajamas were an alright price.  They had another one too, but I thought this one was better.

Their shoes usually aren't great, but I thought their canvas shoes might be better.  I really liked the design of these ones, so I thought I'd try them out.

They have memory foam insoles now, so they're much more comfortable.  Still not as comfortable as running shoes, but decent for the price.


Princess rose stand mirror:  $4
Formed rose cosme box:  $3

Both @ Daiso

Both super pretty, but I'm annoyed by the prices.  Some people got these for $2 each before!  The retail price for the mirror is roughly $2, while the box is even lower.

Still, you can't get them cheaper anywhere else, so I guess there's no point in complaining!


Silver plastic mirror:  $1.25 @ Dollar Tree

It was cute and cheap, so why not.  I've seen the exact same mirror for nearly $10 online!

Vyce - "Sorry we're shopping" clutch:  $3 (RSP:  $24.99 - $45)
Sonic massaging facial cleanser:  $3 (RSP:  $17 - $30)
Minkpink - Walk this way sunglasses:  $1 (RSP:  $12.99 - $39.95)
Minkpink - Gone Gaga sunglasses:  $3 (RSP:  $12.99 - $49.95)
Tahari sunglasses:  $2 (RSP:  $19.99 - $55)

All @ Winners

This one didn't really have much, so I'm surprised there was a tiny cash of good stuff in one corner!  So happy I managed to find these.  Otherwise, today would have been kind of a bust.

Found some pictures of the sunglasses on models:


So neat!  The other minkpink one:


I saw some other $2 ones from brands I've never heard of, but they were really ordinary so I didn't buy them.

Shoes:  $3 each @ Winners

Surprised I found so many this year!  Most of them retailed for around $40 at Winners. 

The flats and suede wedges are made by Qupid, the black cork sandals are made by Adrienne Vittadini.

The tan ones are the "Harris" sandal made by Hot Kiss.  I saw these in black too, but they never went down this low.

I also saw these cute floral wedges for only $2!  I didn't buy them though, because even though they were my size, they were so narrow and uncomfortable!

There were other shoes I was tempted by, but since I already have so many, I only want to get them when they're super cheap like that.  They did have a lot of nice $5 shoes this time, but none that were so unique I had to break my price point.

BCBGMaxazria - Blue cardigan:  $5 (RSP:  $39.99 - $65)
Rebel - Eyelash lace dress:  $5 (RSP:  $29.99 - $50)

Both @ Winners.

The first one has such a gorgeous waterfall effect!  The lace dress is pretty gorgeous too, but I found out the lace is damaged in one place..I might just return it. 

Too bad I didn't find more clothes this year!

Stella Cruz - striped maxi dress:  $5 @ Winners (RSP:  $19.99 - $30)

This is a pretty ordinary price for a dress like this, but I couldn't resist!  This seems like better quality than the ones I usually get.

They had a blue one too, but It looked almost exactly the same so I left it behind.

Formed rose cosme boxes:  $3 each
Rose trays:  $2 each

All @ Daiso

The other ones were so pretty, I just had to get the other colours!  I've also been buying a ton of Anna Sui style bobbles, and they look so gorgeous collected together:


I've ordered more in that style, and I'll probably make my new vanity Anna Sui themed.

3 microfiber dish cloths:  $2 @ Dollarama

I thought these would be everywhere, but I've only seen them once!  I kind of wish I picked up another one.  I almost didn't buy these ones as it is, since I didn't really feel like carrying anything additional.

Pink lock wallet:  $4.50 (RSP:  $9.75)


Gold foil wallet:  $4.75 (RSP:  $9.50)

Both @ Ardene.

I usually don't shop here, but they had free shipping..I thought these looked nice, and they were a decent price.

Even full price would have been ok, but I like buying things on sale!

Aldo Cercenasco bags:  $23.79 each @ Aldo (RSP: $120 each)

I couldn't believe this deal!  They were clearanced to a pretty crazy price already, then I was able to use a 15% discount code.  I also got free shipping!  This is how it actually looks on:


These are all made from real calf hair...the entire bag is covered.  I've never seen such a low price for these before!  Usually they're around $30 each for a bag with a tiny swatch of it...the rest of the bag being fake leather.

Those weren't worth it, but these certainly were!   I hope they stock more leather bags in the future.  I bought these ones back in March, and I haven't seen any new ones since.

Rib knit asymmetric sweater - blue coral:  $4.97 (RSP:  $69.90)
Rib knit asymmetric sweater -black and white combo:  $4.97 (RSP:  $69.90)
Heart sweater with jeweled antlers:  $7.47 (RSP:  $79.90)

All @ RW & CO

I usually never shop here, but the sale was decent enough.  I also got free shipping, so I couldn't resist!  The sweaters are all a merino wool blend, so it seemed worth it.

The first two don't have a very flattering fit, but I ran out of time to return them.  I really like the last one, but I wish I paid less for it.

I actually bought these back in March.  I haven't seen anything worthwhile since!

Hidden rabbit mug:  $3.44 @ Superstore (RSP:  $7)

I've seen these for a while, but I don't like paying more than $3 for a mug.  They're so much more online though!  I've seen similar ones go for $20 plus, so these seem worth it even at full retail.  They are pretty big and nice.

Squirrel - would have been my second choice:


Fox - I liked this one the least.  It doesn't have a face!



Owl - this one was alright:


I might pick up the rest if they go cheap enough, but I kind of doubt it.  They've been the same price for over a year now!  Stock is almost gone, so it seems unlikely.
