Hello kitty toaster:  $10 off Craigslist.

I never thought I'd buy a used toaster, but I really wanted it!  I could only find it for $100 on amazon...I wasn't going to pay that.

I also saw a new one for $60 on Craigslist, but I didn't want to pay that much either.  Ditto on the mint open one for $40.

I saw that you can still get them for $33 shipped in the US!  Works out to $40 Canadian, which is still a bit steep...but I couldn't have ordered it anyway.

The one I got needs a good cleaning, and most of the text has rubbed off, but I'm fine for what I paid.

I saw there was one on Facebook for only $5, but the nose was missing.  Plus, someone already bought it.

I found out there's a toy toaster too:


I prefer that design to the real one!

Cat glass mug:  $4.99
Bunny popsicle mold:  $2.99

Both @ Miniso.

I don't really come here because the value isn't as good as Daiso.  But this is a new location, and I was in the area, so I checked it out.

I love the mug!  The design is so neat.

I'm not crazy about the colour, but it was the only one they had.  Turns out they had a pink one:


I would have preferred that one, so now I'm on the lookout!

I've seen them sell for $16US so this is definitely a deal.

Wonder woman lenticular notebooks
Elf bronzer
Elf concealer

$1.25 each @ Dollar tree.

I wish I didn't buy the concealer.  It has terrible reviews!

I don't really need a bronzer, but this is the first one I've seen and it was the only one there.

They had one shade of lipstick too but I passed.

Turns out they only retail for $2 US each!  They retailed for $2.97 here, so I got an OK deal.

Fur throws:  $4 @ Dollarama

This location keeps restocking them!  I haven't seen fur ones anywhere else.

I bought the two in the middle.  I didn't really like the brown spots, but it was a true pink.  The other one was a lavender.

They had a ton of thick throws there! Mostly fleece type materials.

I hope they get some shaggy fur ones in.

Foundation:  $6.80
Moisturizer:  $5.80
Sqalane oil:  $7.80

All @ Deciem

I found out this company opened up a store, so I was excited to check it out.  They have high quality formulations for cheap, so I was intrigued.

They didn't have everything I wanted, but I ended up buying the rest online.  If I knew the shipping minimum was so low, I probably wouldn't have bothered to go!

High heel storage chair:  $52.73 @ Amazon.ca

I actually only paid $44 total with my gift card! 

I've always wanted a chair like this, but they retail for around $250....I saw they were only $100 in the US, so it didn't seem worth it.

I started looking around on a whim, and I saw one for an incredible price!  It went up to $214 right after I bought it.

I was actually worried that it was a mistake and they wouldn't honour it, but here it is!

Bag of three LPS Blythe:  $3.99 @ Value Village

I haven't gone in a while, and I'm not as into them....but I couldn't resist.

Blip - Hello kitty baker doll:  $2.99 @ Salvation army

I haven't bought anything from here in a while.  They usually don't have much of a selection and pricing is usually high.

I almost didn't buy this, but I couldn't resist.  She's so sweet!

She was in gross condition, but she cleaned up great with a magic eraser.


She came out in 2013, but I don't remember seeing it here.  It retailed for $25 US, so I'm guessing it would have been $30 - $40 here..

I would live to find this my melody one:


Prices are crazy on the secondary market, so I hope there's one for me at another thrift store!

Owl hand soaps
Unicorn bust

$1.25 each @ Dollar tree.

I saw a bunch of new styles today, which was surprising, since I usually see them on Instagram first.

They had a ram in the same style as the unicorn, plus two more buddhas.  One was the chubby kind, and another had the same face as the old one, but the body was weirdly out of proportion.


Reversible sequin pouches:  $2 @ Dollarama

I haven't seen these anywhere else, and these were the only ones there.  I wonder if there are anymore colours?

Jewel mechanical pencils
Tofu stamps
Bunny pillow cover
Bunny mold
Bunny pouch

$2 each @ Daiso

Just some impulse buys.  I've wanted that bunny cover for a while!

Jewel pens:  $1.25 @ Dollar tree

Finally found the other ones!  I think they had white ones too, so those are the only ones left.

LED light strips
Merkury innovations glitter sleeve

$4 each @ Dollarama.

The light strip ripped so I needed another one.

Owl soap
Unicorn lip gloss
2 x jewel pens

$1.25 @ Dollar Tree

I've seen those pens on Instagram and wanted some.  They only had two at this location, and I haven't seen them anywhere else!

They have more colours so I hope I can find them.

Fur throws
Light box

$4 each @ Dollarama.

This is actually the same one I went to yesterday!  I really wanted another light box, and none of the other ones had it.

Turns out they restocked the fur throws too!  These ones were pretty thick and different colours, so I picked them up.

The other locations didn't even have any fur throws, so I couldn't resist.

Sofsole airr gel honeycomb insoles:  $4 (RSP:  $24.99+)
NakedNails:  $4 (RSP:  $10+)
Beam LED light strips:  $4 (RSP:  $9+)
Modella cosmetic bag:  $4 (RSP:  $16.97)

All @ Dollarama.

After yesterday, I wanted to find more pillows and throws!  I ended up going to two and neither had any.

But at least this one had stuff I haven't seen before.

Modella/Con air toiletry bag set in "animal baroque":  $4 (RSP:  $16.97)
Embossed rose glass bowl:  $1.25
Unicorn string lights:  $4
Fur throw:  $4
Swan pillow cases:  $2.50
Rosette fur throw cushion:  $4

All @ Dollarama.

I haven't been here in a while.  There was so much good stuff!

I knew about the light box and came for that.  I knew about the unicorn lights and didn't think I wanted them, but they were so cute in person.

The throw was so thick!  I was surprised.  It was almost twice as thick as the others so I had to get it.

They had several fur throws.  I've never seen them that cheap anywhere!  They're usually at least $25...the cheapest one I could find was $15 at Walmart, and it looks the same as mine.

Now I want to check out the other Dollaramas!  I saw a brown one that was nice, but I'd like to find another thick one.

The cushion was nice too!  I haven't seen any that good here before.   It has a rosette fur pattern so I couldn't resist, but I would have preferred another colour.

I've seen similar quality pillows at winners for $16.99 so this was a deal!  I'd love to find a pink one.
