#dollar stores

Welcome to FoodStuff December 15, 2025. Gonna be lean Christmas this year, kids. Prices are up and healthcare increase haven’t even kicked in yet. There’s too many Korean Coffee shops and not enough cows. There’s an imminent feta shortage, bowl restaurants are screwed, drinking is down and productivity is up and I can’t make sense of any of it.

Ultimate Lemon Creme Biscuits

Location: Dundas West dollarama across from the station

Price: $2.5 CAD

I may have started too strong with dollar shellfish but trying zany things is not the (entire) point of this blog. We are here to dig for treasure.

God Damn. This dollarama has an incredible biscuit and cookie selection; what on the ever loving green EARTH. I forgot to take a pic of the full selection but trust me on this. The rama near me needs to step up.

The biscuit is (relatively) amazing (relative to other similar fare). It’s got a light and refreshing sweet lemon zest cutting through the weighty and savoury base of the biscuit itself, which in turn isn’t too dry or too soft or too much in any way, like Goldilock’s choice. They’re kind of addicting. $2 Ish for this whole box is def a deal and we know this is true because my grandma agrees. Also I checked supermarkets for similar and it's stupid out there. $3.49 for the exact same thing in metro, and that's the special membership cost.

Made in Canada. We are SLEEPING on local in times where now more than ever! (valley girl voice) we need to build our own economy instead of relying on others!!

A few months ago I spent some time in New Bedford, MA. the stores above were the only two that were occupied in that strip mall. and in the strip mall next to it, I found the store below. really no clue why they are all so close.

For years, dollar stores were a fixture in nearly every strip mall in California, offering cheap household goods, bread and produce, and even toys and gifts.
