Contemporary foliage dress:  $7 each (RSP:  $20.90 each)


Panda brush:  $7.90

All @ Forever 21

The sale items were BOGO free, so I snagged those dressses.  I would have been happier paying $5 for them, but $7 seemed ok.

Especially since I paid full price for the brush, which was even more than that!  It was sold out the first time I saw it so I really didn't think it would come back.  I thought it was just so adorable, I had to have it.

It's off the site again, so it definitely feels like I made the right choice.  It was only back for a few days!

Funnily enough, the day I bought it, I actually saw the same brush at Claire's!!  It was $10 regular price, which was even more expensive.  But they were having a buy 3 get 3 free sale so it could have been $5...except there wasn't anything else I would have gotten.

The front of the brush was different too.  The forever 21 one has all black bristles, while the clear one was white with pink tips...which I normally would have liked better, except that one looked gross and dingy.

Water aerator extension:  $3 (RSP:  ~$10)
Anchor backpack:  $4

Both @ Dollarama

I saw that backpack last time but was undecided.  I went to a few more dollaramas and it was nowhere to seen, so I had to come back and get it!

It's $1 more than the last one I bought, but it's better quality than the other one too.  I think it's a pretty good deal for the price.

Game of thrones - Legacy collection Tyrion Lannister figure:  $4 (RSP: $20+)

I was so surprised to find this here!  Usually the mainstream stuff is unpopular or old, but this is just from 2014 and as popular as ever.  This is the best figure from the series, so I'm happy I found it.


They didn't have any others, but I saw that some other dollaramas also have Daenerys.

Glass bird jars:  $3.95 each


Pink plaid broom:  $5.95
Pink plaid brush and dust pan:  $4.50

All @ Dollar max

I don't normally shop here because they're pretty expensive.  They also don't take credit cards!  But I couldn't resist these items, they're just so pretty.  I'm a sucker for pink plaid!

Framed glass silhouette:  $1.99
Alabaster unicorn:  $4.99

Both @ Talize

I probably shouldn't have, but I couldn't resist!  I just love quirky decorations.  These were full price but they seemed reasonable enough.  I've seen the unicorn go for around $20.

Telescopic noodle duster:  $4 (RSP:  ~$10)
350ml glass container:  $2
Foam mounting tape: $1
LED light switch:  $3.50 (RSP:  ~$8)

All @ Dollarama

I was considering the duster and the LED switch for a while, but I wasn't sure if they were worth it.  Both of them ended up selling out quickly and I wasn't sure if I would find them again.  It's probably been about a month or so!

So when I saw them today I just had to pick them up.  Looking at them online, they're pretty much half the price they'd be anywhere else.

Cotton buds:  $2.99 @ Miniso

This is the first thing I've bought from here.  I was excited when I heard it described as a cross between daiso and uniqlo, but it was very disappointing in person.  The place is tiny and overpriced!  There really wasn't anything I was interested in buying.

I only bought this because I liked the star shaped container.  The buds themselves are a bit overpriced, but not too bad.  I was worried that they would be those crappy flimsy ones that bend too easily, but they seem ok.  Not as good as q-tips, but good enough to use.
